"The job couldn't have gone more smoothly. April, in the office, initially allowed me to provide pictures and measurements in order to guide the determination of the appropriate size, thus eliminating the delay of waiting for someone to come out to measure. It was quickly determined that the size was a standard one and the panes were ordered that same day. The installers came out within the same week to install. They were professional and courteous ... and did an excellent job. They even cleaned the doors (both the two panes they repaired and the two they didn't) so that the entire glass wall looks absolutely clear."
"I hired them to install the glass shower door in my bathroom and I’m really happy with the result. Communication was clear from the start, they showed up on time, and the installation was done perfectly. The team was professional, clean, and efficient. The final result looks great. Highly recommend!"

"I was looking to repair the putty around the panes on a 1930s vintage clear glass window and was afraid I got someone who specialized in stained glass and wouldn't want my job but he did a great job and even helped me with a second window I had forgotten about (only shows from the outside but needed same attention). Very flexible, very personable, a pleasure to work with. Thanks, Ken!"
"I brought my 2009 Toyota Camry to Tint King. They tinted all four doors and the back window. I chose their better quality product as I plan to have this car along time. The job took about and hour and a half. I waited onsite. It looks great. Real nice job. However the inside of my trunk was soaking wet after the job. Not sure how that happened but I wish they would have cleaned up after themselves. I kinda wish that I had chosen a darker tint for the back doors and window but it is hard to tell how it is going to look until its done. I am happy with the job. It has been 3 months and no problems. The car looks great. If you go there they are around the back of the building at a garage bay not in the office part of the building. "
"Victor and his team replaced our windows for us recently. I wholeheartedly and fully recommend Victor for window repair and replacement. He was timely, respectful, communicative, and professional. Additionally, he helped us discover another issue that had it gone unaddressed would have caused damage over time. He then moved his schedule around for us to quickly resolve it, consulting us and keeping us updated along the way. We so appreciate Victor’s work on our home and will use him for any window needs moving forward."
"I called to get an estimate on the size of glass I needed the the secretary was very polite and helpful I offered to pick the glass up to make it easier for them but they insisted on delivering it and installing it for me at no extra fee! They guy who installed it was very friendly and made sure it was perfect and to my liking before leaving ! I would recommend Northern Glass to anyone who needs glass work done they are a great glass company and I would defiantly go to them again if I needed any glass related work done!"
"Eric repaired a china hutch door with leaded glass inserts. He took it to his shop, repaired the glass and lead, brought it back and reinstalled it in good order."
