They provided all the custom commercial grade doors and windows for our house. Also beautiful bubble glass for all of our cabinetry. Has to be one of the best glass companies in Kansas City!

I bought two glass commercial doors from this company and it was a mess from the start. Not only was the service not good, I did some research after the fact to realize the pricing was horrible too.
