"The co was very professional and punctual but their pricing was crazy expensive. I took their quote and sent it to another vendor who came back at half the price before I even tried to haggle. I'm sorry but 2,000 for a stock shower door installed is ridiculous. If you didn't want the job then please don't waste my time and just say so."
"We had an amazing experience with Vera Glass and Mirror for our glass shower door installation. From the very first contact, the team was professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. They helped us choose the perfect glass enclosure for our bathroom and guided us through every step of the process."

"My Wife & I hired HS Glass LLC to put on a door for our inlaw apartment and they did an outstanding job! Ryan the owner custom fit the door in our 1700's home perfectly! It was really tough to find the right door to fit our antique home right and HS Glass LLC found us the perfect door to fit the style of our home. We would recommend their work to anyone and will definitely be hiring them back again to do more work for us."
"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 did take off the ugly Plexiglas and install a nice thick new window. For that part of the job I give him an A. The rest was unsatisfactory. He had to fill about a dozen screw holes where the Plexiglas had been attached. Many of the holes are still there - he didn't use enough filler to allow for it to shrink when it dries. He also smeared filler all around the window, instead of just where the holes were, and said I could just wipe it off when it dried. It doesn't wipe off - I'll have to scrub it, then sand and restain the whole area instead of just the holes. It turned out he didn't have any weatherstripping with him, so I'll have to do that myself or hire someone else. He arrived a little late, took measurements, then left for "a couple of hours," presumably to get supplies, but he was gone for a long time and I had to revise my plans for the afternoon. He also left a mess on the floor. Nice guy, but disorganized and maybe not as skilled as he should be."
"Andrea is a true craftswoman! She meticuouslly restores the grout by hand, beginning with the cleaning through all steps to a final sealed finish. During the process, she explains what is being done and educates you regarding the process. Her expert work is done with a reasonable price and concern about the cost to you. Great results!"
"I was amazed. We had 10 new windows replaced, and after working a 10 hour day, I was dreading going home & cleaning for the next 10 hours. But when I walked inside my home you didn't even know they were there. everything was placed back to where it belonged, there was no mess to vacuum. There also was no mess outside, my garden was not even touched. The only thing I had to do was wash the windows and hang the curtains. They were very nice & polite, professional men who installed the windows. The windows themselves are 100% perfect. We could not be happier and could kick ourselves for not doing it sooner. They gave us a date in July for Installation. They arrived in May."
"Yes the work was done. The two guys that came put in 7 windows and two big bay windows in one day. They did not even taken a break. They cleaned up the small pieces of scrap. Then one week later they came back and put in two new doors with the same professionalism when they did my doors."
