Terrible
Description of Work: I was researching shower doors and scheduled several appointments. Halfway through the process I decided to go with a provider and called to cancel the other appointments I had scheduled, one of them with Creative Glass & Mirror. About 15 minutes after I called to cancel, the owner Alan itikin called to rant on why his company should be given a chance. It was awful. He went on and on and was trying to bully me into keeping the appointment by using all sorts of fear tactics. Since he had my email he then emailed me 4 separate emails on shattering shower doors and bad hardware. Two hours later he called me back to continue his rant. It was ridiculous and unprofessional. When I called the person I selected for the job to inquire on some of the information I was emailed he knew exactly who had contacted me before I even had a chance to tell him. Apparently, Alan is known to do this.

Response from Creative Mirror & Shower
While we never did any actual business with this customer, we offer our most sincere apology that they had a negative experience when cancelling their previously scheduled free in home estimate. Allen Pritikin is the 80 year old founder of Creative Mirror and Shower and his passion and pride, on occasion can cause him to get emotional or assertive, although the intentions are to do the right thing for the customer. Allen is now aware of this complaint and he is sorry he upset the customer. We will learn from the consumer feedback and work towards continued improvement. At the heart of that passion is the fact that far too often consumers end up with shower doors that have poor quality hardware and incorrectly sized glass. Unfortunately, once a custom shower door is installed wrong, it most often cannot be rectified without significant expense for glass replacement. Almost every single day, Creative Mirror gets calls from consumers who have major problems with shower doors that we did not install, and the original glass shop is either not in business or nonresponsive. It is from this perspective that we had hoped the customer would not cancel the free estimate. Creative Mirror & Shower is going on its fifth decade in business. To provide our customers with lasting installations, we go to great lengths to source the best quality products, working closely with leading hardware and glass vendors, both in the USA and in Europe. Our core philosophy is to never setup a customer for failure by installing subpar products. We offer free planning and design with experienced "product knowledge experts" to help make sure that your contractor properly constructs your shower door opening, which is vitally important. We operate full service showrooms that allow you to see functioning displays and talk with knowledgeable staff, which is the best way to know for sure what you are buying. Creative Mirror is still owned by the same family as day one in 1972 when Allen started this business in his basement and the second generation has been running the company since 1991. Many of our employees have 10, 20, even 30+ years dedicated service, and our company enjoys an A+ rating and full accreditation awarded by the Better Business Bureau. We sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to earn your business and we look forward to making you a satisfied customer. Sincerely, Mark Pritikin, President

EXCELLENT!!!!! i LOVE this company!! they did the mirrored doors for my hallway closet years ago. i recalled how amazing their customer service was... so i called them for this job. i was pleased to see the new products available, and decided on the sandblasted bifold doors. as before... everyone from the salesman, to the measurer, to the installers were kind, courteous, efficient, and professional. they always go above and beyond the call of duty... taking the old doors away, giving me cleaner & instructions on how to clean the new doors, cleaning up after themselves, and being on time for every appointment. i can't say enough GOOD things about Creative Mirror & Shower. i will use them again & again... until i have replaced every cheap developer grade door in my unit! thanks.

This company was very professional. Salesman was knowledgeable and noticed something that other salesmen did not. He considered selling me a frameless shower door which would look nicer (and be more expensive) but used a marble to test the slope of the shower pan where it meets the door. The marble rolled into the bathroom rather than into the shower which showed the direction water would flow. Because there would be no frame to stop the water from running into the bathroom, frameless was not an appropriate option. Saved me some money and a headache down the road. After the estimate was accepted, they came out to measure again one more time. Then about 10 days later, they called and were able to install the following day. The installers were professional and accomodated me when I asked for them to put another layer of silicone caulk around my shower pan where it meets the tile. The door looks very nice, the materials are high quality, and the door magnetically seals shut and is well engineered to prevent leaks. If you need a custom framed shower door (or want one to keep in steam) you can trust these guys to do a good job with a framed model.
Description of Work: Installation of custom steam shower door with metal frame (about 3 feet wide and 10 feet tall) one glass panel for the door about 7 feet tall and a 3 foot transom at the top.

The company installed a very large mirror above our fireplace. They used glue to hold the mirror in place. Four years ago the glue dried up causing the mirror to fall to the carpet and shatter into hundreds of razor sharp pieces. Cleaning it all up was dangerous, and this whole process could have been horrible had anyone been in the family room when it happened. When we contacted the company, they vehemently denied any responsibility, despite the fact that they manufactured and installed the mirror. Instead, they actually said the reason was, "a sonic boom created from September 11, 2001 " (they actually used this reason, I couldn't believe it). We took pictures and threatened to sue, and that was the only way we could get them to come out and fix (replace) their product. The damages also included damage to furniture caused by the shards of glass. Needless to say, we will never hire them again, and we strongly advise anyone against hiring them as their products and their installation methods put people in danger.
Description of Work: They manufactured and installed a large (10' x 6') mirror above our fireplace in our family room.

Creative Mirror was the only company that seemed very comfortable with the custom cuts required in the mirrors because of existing light fixtures, so even though their pricing was significantly higher than other companies who looked at the work, I used them since I felt they understood my needs. Scheduling was a little difficult, and the lead time on the mirrors was long, but installation went smoothly and I've been very happy with the end result.

They came out to give an estimate and get the dimensions for my shower door. The guy was friendly but he took my check and never deposited it. When I called to ask why my check hadn't been deposited they told me he had family complications and they said that it had been--when in actuality it has not. He gave me a terrible zerox copy of what my $654 door would look like so I called the company to get a better picture. They said that they would email me a photo and still haven't. When I have called since to see when they plan on coming out and they said they needed to do a fitting. They did the fitting, and no one has gotten back to me about when they would out to put it on. I initally contacted them 3 weeks ago and no word on when the job will be done and they still have not deposited my check.

I had ordered the shower door and put a deposit down. Shortly afterwards my husband, a firefighter was injured on the job, and we had to put our remodel on hold. After several surgeries and years of recovery, my husband was forced to retire, and we finally managed to begin the remodel project. Creative mirrors worked with me through this delay, and delivered a quality product. Installation was flawless, and I have been very satisfied with the new shower door.
Description of Work: Frameless Shower door for bath remodel. The product is outstanding, and the company was on time as promised. Installation was well done, and professionally handled. Very happy with product and company.

Everyone on the staff from the showroom to the installers was professional and friendly. The salesman, the installer who came for the measurement, and the installers were all on time. The installation was smooth but the only criticism we have is that they left a very small mess which did not warrant a complaint. Creative delivered exactly what they promised. We were very happy with the entire experience. Of course, the product they delivered is unbelievable. We selected a frameless 1/2" glass enclosure and door with a brushed nickel finish for the hinges and an upgraded door handle. It was expensive, but not nearly expensive as one competitor that came back with an estimate over 50% higher. Another competitor showed up late for the estimate and was less than enthusiastic about the job because he didn't like a raised tile that he would have had to notch. That competitor never called back with an estimate. We'd like to point out that there are less expensive options. We selected higher end materials which increased the price. The only reaon that we did not rate an A for professionalism was the small mess the installers left. This is a minor criticism but something that was not in line with the rest of the experience. We are very satisfied with Creative and highly recommend them.

No issues with setting up a sales person to visit the home, take measurements, review options and provide a quote. When I told the salesperson that I could not make a decision before receiving other competitive bids, the salesperson whined that this always happens to them. After the shower surround was installed, we waited the 48 hours they recommended before using the shower. On the first shower, water leaked from around the shower surrounds metal moldings. After a couple of calls, we finally were able to get the technicians to return our call and come out to repair the leak. While fixing the issues, the technician indicated they were new to shower installations (a very comforting feeling). Not long after they left, another area has begun to leak. Company returned, removed the shower surround and reinstalled. They have satisfactorily resolved the issue.
Description of Work: Replaced a master bathroom's glass, 2-sided shower surround, one side fixed glass and the other side w/sliding bypass glass doors with a unit that has one fixed glass panel and the other with a hinged door.

Response from Creative Mirror & Shower
THE MEMBER IS A THREE TIME REPEAT CUSTOMER OF CREATIVE MIRROR & SHOWER. WE ARE GLAD THE CUSTOMER SAYS THE FINAL PRODUCT LOOKS GREAT. THIS JOB NOT ONLY HAD FIVE PANELS OF CUSTOM GLASS AT ANGLES, BUT THE WALLS WERE BUILT ON ANGLES WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED. PLEASE SEE THE OUR WEBSITE FOR CRITICAL TIPS TO HELP YOUR CONTRACTOR BUILD AN OPENING FOR A CUSTOM FRAMELESS SHOWER DOOR. THERE IS A SPECIFIC PLANNING GUIDELINE ILLUSTRATED ON OUR SITE AND OTHER SITES INDICATING THAT CONSTRUCTING WALLS AT ANGLES "IS NOT GOOD" AND WITH "SOME PRODUCTS IMPOSSIBLE." NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THIS JOB WORK WITHOUT THE CUSTOMER INCURRING ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO RE-CONSTRUCT THE WALL; AND WHAT OTHERS CONSIDER IMPOSSIBLE, WE MADE WORK WITH A FEW EXTRA TRIPS. SINCERELY, MARK PRITIKIN PRESIDENT & ALLEN PRITIKIN COMPANY FOUNDER
