They required a 50% deposit and promised that the installation would be about 21/2 weeks from receiving the deposit. Normally, I would not pay that much for a deposit, but since they were recommended on Angies list and this was a custom job I paid it. It took a little longer
than the 21/2 weeks, but once a date was set they came on time and installed the door. When they left their parting words was call us, if you have any problems. Very nice to hear.
As time went by I did encounter a problem with the Diamon Fusion product. Even though we performed the required maintenance the soap scum built up and could not be removed by scrubbing with the puff.
I called Accurate Glass and an appointment was set for someone to come out and clean the glass. Evidently, the product (though it has a lifetime guarantee) must be reapplied. There is a powder that is in the maintenance kit that they will leave you, that must be buffed on the glass. .The gentlemen they sent was very nice and did an excellent job of getting the glass sparkling clean again. He showed my husband how to reapply the Diamon Fusion powder to keep the glass from clouding up. Probably needs reapplying every 4- 6 months.
While he was there he noticed that our shower sweep was looking cloudy and arranged for a new one to be delivered. All this was done at no charge.
As he was leaving again, I heard the those same sweet words, call us if you have any problems. I would highly recommend Accurate Glass. They will deliver a quality product and you can rely on them to stand by it.
"We thank you for your kind words and look forward to working with you in the future. Tommy Goforth Owner"
Visited the store with dimensions and concept. Owner was very knowledgeable about product and options. Walked away with product selection, sketch of project, and estimate. Estimator came to the house a few days later and suggested a few good changes. Owner called shortly thereafter and said he could hold to estimate (less than Lowe's) and we said go...two weeks later installers pit it in on one day and they were friendly, competent , and worked hard.
Would highly recommend them
Very courteous over the phone; answers quickly and always return my calls. Estimator is also an experienced installer; showed up on time; he had great recommendations. He assured me that if his company cracked any tiles, they would be responsible for the repair/replacement. Installers, including the estimator showed up on time.
It took them about four hours. They did a fantastic job. You cannot even see the clear silicone caulk. The seams are almost invisible. The gap in the door is very small and perfectly straight, square and flush. Fantastic job !!!Note well: Make sure you confirm with any installer who is responsible for any breakage.
My first issue has to do with the estimator's process. We didn't get a detailed estimate clearly spelling out their costs, we got a rough, hand written piece of paper. I'd call it a "guess-timate". The installer also didn't recommend 3/8" glass, which I now would absolutely recommend to avoid that 1/4" flimsy, wobbly glass flexing feeling that scares you to death every time you open or close the doors.
Anyway they first installed 1/4" glass which we became uncomfortable with due to the glass flexing. So we worked out an additional charge for 3/8" glass. They did not charge me for tear down and reinstallation.
They came out a 2nd time, took down the 1/4" and reinstalled the new 3/8". Big improvement. BUT there was a bottom edge gasket gap (not supposed to be there) a bottom frame edge leak and the main door was out of level causing the door to drift away the wall/frame edge which resulted in water splashing outside the door.
They came out a 3rd time. They told me the gasket gap was insignificant to the performance of the door so we decided to leave it as is. They did re-silicone the frame and re-adjust the door by adding a clear plastic guide.
Bottom line: the whole process was a little "kludgey". I think the 2nd install was not quite right. The corrective actions they performed on the 3rd visit still seems to be working. Like I said: it was a mixed experience that ended with acceptable results. It just took a lot of time and effort to get there.
