"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.

"After and extremely wet and rainy first half of the summer, Andre got behind schedule by no fault of their own. 
They did finally show up about the first of September. The contract called for full tuck pointing of the house, chimneys, foundation and re-stacking a problem area above one window..  This is an extremely messy job to perform. That said, the crew cleaned up rather well considering the scope and mess of the job.  They were very polite and very nice. It took about 3.5 weeks to complete the entire job from the start of grinding mortar all the way through to the wash and water proofing. They crew foreman tuck pointed in a few "sample" colors so we could see and choose what mortar color looked best with our color brick.  
     Not only did they fully fulfill what the contract called for, but went above and beyond. They also tuck pointed the 2 retaining walls we have on the west side (side street, we live on a corner) of the house to make the walls appear "seamless" with the foundation.  They also re-stacked another problem area above a different window and "wet brushed" the the concrete slabs that line the rest of the wall in the backyard so it had a seamless color match.  They did not charge us extra for this. The owner explained to me "It's not about the money".
     We live in a circa 1880's Victorian historic home on a well known street in St. Louis.  Their quality of work can be seen by every car driving East. Old historic homes such as our require a special mortar blend because of the density of the bricks used back then.  The quikcrete stuff you buy at Home Depot or Lowes is simply too hard and will damage these old bricks.  Andre blended all the mortar used on site correctly, and also secured the proper permits needed for historic homes and neighborhoods. My only gripe is they did not call a day or two ahead of time to let me know their start date. But since they did such a great job, it's not really a big deal. If  masonry work is ever needed again, They will be the only company I'll call.

FAQs for glass block service projects in Pagedale, 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.
