"Humes Masonry did a great job on my tuck pointing project. They were very professional, courteous, and responsive throughout the project. They do high quality work at a reasonable price, and went the extra mile to attempt to clean-up some work from a previous contractor. I would highly recommend Humes Masonry and will certainly consider them for future work. Overall, a great customer experience.

"Kotty Siding did a great job on my parents house a couple of weeks ago, by reinstalling some siding that came off during a rain and wind storm. It work was needed at a high peak on the house, and they did the work professionally. Dale (the owner) was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The quote he provided was very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone who needed help with siding issues."

"The good: Based on how friendly and knowledgeable Brian was, we hired Andre Tuckpointing and Brickwork in 2018 to spot-point some problem areas, grind out and tuckpoint the windowsills and chimney, which were all successful. The bad: Brian's team was not as experienced as he is, and the work other than that listed above has not held up. We had to call them to come back multiple times since they almost left our home without spot-pointing a substantial crack, as well as other issues (read on). Moreover, while it was easy to communicate with the office, the follow-through was poor. Particularly, I would not recommend them for: any of the other work we paid for (spot pointing of the steps and porch, and caulking/tuckpointing the foundation). Off the bat, they told us the foundation work was a gamble, so I should have understood that as "this will not work" instead of being optimistic and paying for it. Some of this work has not held up over time (i.e. not even 2 years), while the work on the steps harmed their integrity, resulting in the need for a new handrail and redoing the bottom step. After pestering the office and Brian for a number of months and buying a new railing, Brian came out, but the work on the bottom step was inferior and is already crumbling (he told us he would only come out once to address this issue). He did not charge us to come out to work on the steps after the initial issues, but now we have to hire someone else to fix the poor work that was done. While I would like to have confidence that they would come out and repair their work, I do not expect that would happen since Brian specifically stated that he would not. Overall: If you are looking to have your brickwork tuckpointed, and don't mind it being a little sloppy, hire them. If you are looking to have your steps, porch, or foundation tuckpointed or repaired, do not hire them."

"It went great! No drips or mess. The door looks beautiful! I wouldn't expect anything less from Justin. He's very meticulous. I have him in my phone whenever I need anything done. When he was here before, he painted the exterior of my front entry door. Beautiful! He and his team repaired a section of deck railing. Great job!"

FAQs for glass block service projects in Lemay, MO

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

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. 

The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:

  • Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block

  • Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block

  • Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block

  • Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block

  • Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block

  • Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block

Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.
