"We had Argo Glass & Windows replace sixteen glass panes, many of them large, in our home on January 13 & 14, 2020. Their pricing was fair and the quality of work excellent. Their crew was fast and courteous, completing the entire project in under two days. I thought I would have to repaint the outer frames in spring following the glass replacement, but the manner in which they performed the work kept the existing paint intact. It was January in Wisconsin and they removed the old glass panes and installed the new ones with a very minimum of cold air entering the house. My wife and I were home during the entire process and never felt cold. We will be having them return in spring to repair some rotted wood in a number of window frames and replace some broken window hardware. We will definitely continue to use them for any future window needs and highly recommend them to anyone needing similar work."

"Lakeside  arrived a little late and immediately got to work.  Very professional and respectful of my home and possessions.  They took the time to answer questions and explained everything that they would be doing.  I had several estimates and decided to go with Lakeside because they came to the job before the appointment and gave an estimate instead of nickel and diming me for each thing that would be done.  The windows look and feel beautiful.  My one issue is that on their website today, (I had the windows done yesterday) there is a fifteen dollar off coupon for windows.  I wish that Noah had mentioned it to me.  Just like anyone, I would have liked to take advantage of that opportunity."

"Ronnie and his crew were fantastic. They were at my house within hours after I called. Ronnie explained exactly what needed to be done. The shattered glass was cleaned up and the replacement glass was ordered. When the new glass came in an appointment was scheduled and he came out to put it in the door and correct the four casement windows as I had requested. All work was spot on. I highly recommend LDS."

"This is the second time I have used McCann Windows. The installer gave me two options for repairing the window trim. He made the repair to one window, then confirmed that I was happy with my choice before completing the rest. The installation went well and they clean everything up. They were very professional.

Job went exactly as planned.  On the first day, a five man crew trenched along the two walls where the drain tile was broken, replaced the drain tile, backfilled with stone, and leveled.  Crew installed new sump for sump pump and repaired cracks in walls. Crew then laid down the vapor barrier over the entire floor of the crawl space.

On the second day the concrete floor was poured as planned.  Three man crew worked the crawl space leveling and floating the concrete.  Job went very well. Crew installed temporary cover over the open crawl space wall vent used for the concrete pump hose. 

On the third day, a small crew was back to seal the two vent openings in the crawl space wall with concrete blocks and cement.  The backup battery operated sump pump was also installed and piped up to the main sump pump discharge line using appropriate check valves.

All crews laid down protective cloth to keep family room carpet clean.  Crawl space opening is in family room.  All crews did an excellent job of cleaning up after work was completed.  Crews were very polite and professional and kept me informed of progress.  I was very pleased with the quality of the entire job.

Glass Block FAQs, answered by experts

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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.

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 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.

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.
