Needed a window pane replaced in a vacant rental property. Gave them rough dimensions and they were able to quote me a price, came and measured, cut and installed onsite (may not always be the case but it worked here), and it looks great. Turn around time was pretty quick compared to many contractors recently.

The staff here is amazing. Fast and friendly customer service. Good atmosphere, clean waiting room and bathrooms. Everything was explained to me before hand with no additional suprises. The staff here is great to work and I will return and tell others about this place. Its really worth the drive.

Refused to provide windshield replacement service. I thought that was what they were in business to do. I'll find an installer who isn't afraid to do the job, probably Safelite. Chain shops like Safelite will put these smaller inexperienced places out of business eventually anyway.

Had them cut glass table tops to precisely the same shape of table. Nice work. Friendly service. Called a for some cut plexiglass two days ago. Ready to be picked up on Monday. Fast friendly services for sure. They also replaced two car windshields. You won't be sorry you picked them for your glass work.
