"I was having a problem with the glass door of my shower, with the door scraping against the hinged side of the glass. AG Glass arrived when they said they would and completed the repair right then. The door works great, no more scraping sound every time it opens and closes. I'm very happy with the work, highly recommend!"

"Maia figured out how to repair 3 pairs of my dichroic glass earrings so that earwires would stay embedded in them and not come out. She really saved the day for me, and was very concerned and helpful in her work. Fair price, as well."

A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.
