"Really hard sell from the salesperson. They pushed how they are the best for service. a three-month wait for the windows to be constructed. I called several times after three months to get an update but got zero response. Left messages and sent emails with no response. I finally got through to the national number by selecting the option to book an appointment for a sales call. I was redirected to the service department, and the rep said someone would call me back. Again, no response. They already charged me for the windows; otherwise, I would cancel the order."

"GK’s Glass Care did an amazing and complete job from start to finish. From the day I received my amazingly reasonable estimate to the final inspection that Greg insisted I perform, this super friendly husband and wife team performed a phenomenal job! My husband and I own a home built in the 80’s that has double-paned windows in which all the seals are broken. I thought getting them completely clean wasn’t a possibility, so I didn’t get my hopes up too high. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick sure fooled me and pleasantly so! Their attention to detail and efficiency was incredible! I could not be more pleased by the way my windows look now! Friendly, prompt service and pride in a job well-done; a winning combination!"
