"We have a 90 year old house with limited storage and small closets. Crystal came to our house and did a great job listening to our needs and designed a system to maximize our space. She was very helpful and understanding of our end goal. Crystal ensured that the install date was scheduled at a convenient time for me and my young family. Trent, the installer, was very professional, kind and courteous. Prompt and efficient, too. Left the closet space cleaner than when he began! I am thrilled with my layout and the flexibility to change rods/shelves/drawers. Could not be an easier or more pleasant process start to finish. We will definitely have them return to work on our remaining closets. Rated Good for price as we had received a slightly cheaper quote from a former California Closets franchise. Decided it was worth the extra money to go with the Authorized Californial Closet retailer and know that I would have someone to help me later on with accessories and additional closets. This franchise is based out of Wheeling, IL with a show room in Brookfield, WI."

"Noe showed up immediately, no questions asked and did service at reasonable price, cleaned gutters, and the downspouts completely at a time in which we had overflowing gutters and water in the basement. He was communicative, clean, and I look forward to long relationship with him and his company."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line. 

Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation. Glass block mortar is usually a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and special chemicals. It is a white mortar that is applicable inside and outside your home. Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.
