Emailed them via their website. Rec'd email back days later to call the office. Called the office and spoke with friendly receptionist, while talking the owner in the background bellowed that I should "find someone closer" that I'm "over an hour away". After hanging up I ran the distance which came up to 34 minutes of driving on a rural country road. Clearly the owner doesn't need business or care about the consumer. I would recommend calling elsewhere for your glass and mirror needs as this business really doesn't care to be in business.
Description of Work: I had a need for a custom shower enclosure in one bathroom and a standard shower door install in another bathroom.

Response from A Touch of Glass & Mirror
You sent your email on 1/11/17 at 9:00 p.m. We responded 1/13/17 at 2:00 p.m. The reason we didn't respond on 1/12/17 was due to our secretary being out sick that day, so we apologize for that. You stated that you wanted a new shower enclosure/door and another door (purchased from somewhere else) installed. The receptionist you spoke with is fairly new with the company and was unaware that we do not install shower doors/enclosures that are not purchased from us. This is because we can't offer a warranty for a product from another company. Per the conversation, we figured you wanted the same people to install both doors at the same time was why you were told you could probably find somebody that is closer to you. This would be more cost effective for you as opposed to having two separate companies install each individual door. If you had just the (1) new shower door/enclosure, we absolutely would have come out to your property. We often recommend that our customers seek other companies to install their showers if it isn't from our own company because of liability and warranty issues. We value all of our customers, and we are always looking to make sure that they are satisfied. Given that we had one phone conversation we feel that giving us a poor overall rating is unfair. Angie's List is a site for reviews to be given based on the services we provide. We only had a phone conversation, no services were provided to you. We apologize again for any inconvenience that this has caused.

I submitted my first review prematurely before the work was 100% complete. The original work was so sloppy that the installer had to come back out twice to finish the job - the first time to clean up the sloppy caulk work, and the second time to scrape all the glue off the glass. The installer was very nice but was in too big of a rush. The owner of the company, however, was rude and unprofessional. He told me 'we don't clean windows', but his company was the one who installed the glass and left me with very dirty windows covered with glue. I had already had a window cleaning service out twice to try and clean the glue off, too. I told him this, but he was still indignant. In the end, the glass looks great, but the whole ordeal was a big headache.

Every aspect of the process was fantastic. From the time I contacted the company all the way through the installation, they were friendly, knowledgeable and focused on customer satisfaction. The quickly came out and gave me a quote. They called me back as soon as the glass was in and scheduled an appointment for installation. The installers were extremely professional and careful with their work. My husband and I were very impressed. The worked quickly and the job took less time than quoted. I would refer this company to anyone who needs any glass work done.

Got a response and quote almost right away. I gave them a B because it took a few weeks to have the work completed, which may be splitting hairs. The job wasn't easy because of the enclosed glass on the door but it turned out great. Would definitely recommend.

I didn't get competitive prices for the jobs. John's prices seemed reasonable. Cheaper can mean more hassel. John is very professional, does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it, in a very professional manner. You don't get the impression he is having you spend more money than is necessary. He does business the way it should be done. No drama, no hiccups, no excuses. It's obvious he is very interested in maintaining an excellent reputation. The only thing I wished he would do is accept credit cards. Check or cash only. It's harder to keep track of expenses and receipts when you deal in cash and checks, but I can live with it. You can't go wrong if you call John.
Description of Work: I originally contacted John Anderson to have the glass in my patio door replaced. He was very accommodating to my schedule, came over, measured and went off to do his business. He brought the glass back on the date promised and installed it. Very professional. No fuss. I later called to tell him I also needed the glass in a window replaced and asked him to check the other windows. He not only replaced the glass, but screens, locks and other window mechanics as well.

They were punctual and hard-working. They came out right away to provide an estimate, and the installation was done in a very timely manner. The caulk work around the glass was very sloppy so I had them come back out to clean it up. When I first called back to talk to them about fixing the caulk work, the gentleman I first spoke with seemed shocked and a bit rude about the situation, but the installer (Adam) was happy to make it right. He came out the next morning and was very gracious. I would recommend this company, but I would still give them a B.

A Touch of Glass & Mirror provided excellent customer service and quality of workmanship at a fair price. We got an immediate call-back on our request for a quote for replacing a defective double-low e-gas insulated glass panel in a "dated" Anderson bay window unit. They promptly scheduled a convenient on-site visit to get the window location and measurements (I did not need to be present for the on-site spec'g step). Got a same-day call-back with the replacement cost and availability (about a week) for the "special-order" glass panel, and, subsequently, placed my order. A 2nd on-site appointment was scheduled for installation after the replacement glass panel was received. The old glass unit was removed and the new panel was installed on-site into the original window frame. The repaired unit was remounted into the existing bay window, thus, everything continued to match and align perfectly. Fyi, it was my experience that A Touch of Glass & Mirror, uniquely, supplied and provided the replacement service when several other "window and glass" installers I contacted would only respond IF they originally installed my Anderson windows.

They did a really nice job. It was a beautiful job, gorgeous. It really changed the whole look of the shower. I had three quotes and they were not the least expensive. I sent pictures out of what I had and they responded to the pictures the best of everybody. They sent me pictures of glass doors almost similar to what I had done and I like that. They gave me a quote and they were very competitive. So, they came up and measured it. It took about four weeks to get the glass and everything which what he told me it would do. They came out and installed it in about two-and-a-half-hours. They took out all the old stuff. There was no problem. They cleaned up and it was perfect. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We used a company to redo our shower with three-inch glass. The company is A Touch of Glass & Mirror. They pulled out my old shower enclosure which was chrome header and trim glass and put in a three-inch glass door and enclosure.

Needed to replace Pella window glass transom. Got the glass from Pella (under the 20 year warranty). Shopped around for installation company. Pella quotation was the highest. Others quoted for two technicians as well extra charges due to window being 10 feet high. Found this company on Angie List. Their quotation was the lowest. One technician showed up as planned. Completed the work. Very professional and courteous. I recommend this company.

I called to get a quote for replacement of two large glass patio doors. The owner spoke to me personally and he had someone come over and look at the doors the next day and called and gave me a quote that same day. The cost was reasonable compared to a job I had done several years earlier by another company. They ordered the glass and it came in within the time I was told. We arranged a day and a time that was convenient for me. The workers showed up on time and they were very personable. They were very careful and responsible with making sure nothing was broken or harmed in the process of replacing the glass. The glass looks great and I felt they did an excellent job. I would certainly recommend this company to friends and family.

There was absolutely no problem with this glass when the customer picked it up. We do not have any warranty on glass breakage. Once the glass leaves our shop, we are no longer responsible for any damage that may occur.

We had an inner window pane on a kitchen window shatter for no apparent reason. After calling numerous "glass companies", I found this company. They were the only ones I could find who do this kind of work anymore , all the other companies I contacted either flat out did not do window glass replacement, advised me to try some other outfit, or tried to sell me an entire new window. It took longer than promised before the glass came in that they ordered, but once they got it they came right out and took care of the window. All in all I was happy with their work and will hire again.

They came out to measure and quote the next day and gave me a price that was competitive vs other companies that I had spoken with. The sales rep let me know that the custom order would take several weeks due to the Thanksgiving holiday and came in as expected. Installation was excellent with ZERO mess or complications.

John, the owner, had the window opening measured and gave us a price on replacement. He ordered the glass and it was ready at his shop within a week or so. We arranged for installation. Two men arrived as scheduled. They were very professional and efficient. They even wore protective covers on their shoes when they had to work inside the house. They also put down tarps. The work was done expertly and quickly. Everything was explained to me and they answered all my questions. All in all, we are very impressed with A Touch of Glass and Mirror. They responded to our calls immediately and took care of our window emergency quickly. We are very happy with the replacement window. We will gladly call them again when we need window work.
Description of Work: The provider first put us in touch with a board up service when an approximately 55" x 55" picture window blew out during a severe wind and rain storm. It was an emergency for us. We found A Touch of Glass and Mirror in the yellow pages where it listed 24 hour emergency board up as one of its services. We appreciated that someone answered our call right away and took our name and number. A few minutes later, John, the owner, returned our call and gave us the direct number of his board up man who also answered immediately. Even while the storm was still raging, the board up man arrived shortly after we contacted him. The next day, the owner of A Touch of Glass and Mirror called to see how we were doing and at that time I requested that his company replace the window.

I broke one of the panes in a large insulated window. Their estimator came out the next day after I called. An estimate was given on the spot and I was told it would take 7-10 business days to have the glass made. This estimate was accurate. When the glass was ready, they called to make an appointment for installation. They showed up on time, completed the repair quickly and left no mess. What more can you ask for?
