Gilpin Glass Service was started in 1973, and is still owned and operated by Jerry himself. We have seven employees, most of them being family. We do both commercial and residential work all over Indianapolis and surrounding areas. One thing that sets us apart from our competition is that we have and will always give FREE estimates! Our pricing is very competitive and we take pride in customer satisfaction.
Rating Gilpin Glass Service FIVE STARS. I had them replace 2 insulated glass panes in a 25" X 25" vinyl sash that had gotten broken out. I took the sash to them. I had been quoted $200 and ten days by their competitors. I did not mention this to Gilpin. They did the repair/replacement of the 2 panes for $120.00 including tax and they did it in the exact 7 business days that was quoted. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them for your glass needs.

Excellent company to work with. Office staff was responsive and proactive. Their installer, Jim, had a great attitude and obviously cares about the quality of his work. I would highly recommend them and I plan on using them again when I have a need for their services.

Hi [Member Name Removed], We appreciate your business! We try to get our in house work turned around as quick as possible. It takes 7 to 10 business days to get the insulated glass fabricated and back to our shop. You should have been given an option of a "Rush" for your insulated glass which is a $45.00 charge but the turn around is cut to 3 days. I hope you use us in the future. Sincerely, Sherry Gilpin

Seal broken on picture window in a house we were selling. Gilpin's could get to us before some of the other companies we called. They were very business-like from the office ladies, the gentleman who came out and measured and the installers. Price was good, service was very good. Would definitely hire again. Very pleased.

Apparently they replaced my window with safety glass. I was never told they would be safety glass in the window frame. As a result, the frame is too big and will not fit into the window. They refuse to fix it unless I bring it back to them. They told me they told me they were putting safety glass into the frame. I was never told that. Ever. When the guy came to look at the window, he took the frame out. I asked if he could take it to the shop to fix and he said that he would take it and have the shop call me with the price. That was Thursday. I called and left a message on Saturday and on Monday I called them to get price. They finally called me back and said they were short staffed and that's why it took so long. She told me the price and I said that was fine. I offered to pick it up to save money. When I got home, I discovered the frame did not fit. When I called back the guy told me that I was told safety glass would be installed. I NEVER authorized that. I became upset and said that was a lie. He said if he came back out, he'd have to charge me for it. Terrible serivce. I paid $64.24 for a window that I can't even use. Now I have to call someone else to fix it. I found them on Angie's List.

Response from Gilpin Glass Service
Wow very surprised to find this on here. She called in for a "FREE" estimate to have her window looked at. The estimator taught her how to remove the sash from her windows so she could save money in the future. He was kind enough to bring her sash back to the shop to get fixed. I personally do the estimating and was out of the office on Friday, a vacation day well deserved. The estimates do not hit the office until the end of the day that they are measured so it hit our office about 5 on Thursday afternoon. (which we are officially already closed at this point) Miss [Member Name Removed] did leave a message on Saturday during closed business hours and called the office on Monday before anyone had a chance to call her back. We did give her a price to replace the glass in her sash and had it ready for her on Tuesday morning to pick up. That is good and quick service especially this time of year when the glass industry is very busy. I did not personally talk to her in regards to the pricing and the type of glass that needed to be installed but because it sets so close to the floor, by law, we have to replace it with safety glass. We did replace it with safety glass which has to be at least 1/8" thick. Not sure what the problem was that it would not lock properly because she told me that it fit into the sash it just would not latch. She did call the office and person she spoke with tried to explain to her that the safety glass is thicker and was willing to help her out but she demanded someone to come out "right this minute" which we could not provide. He asked her to hold because she was very upset with him and yelling. (no one deserves this, it sure was not the office person's fault). Regardless of all, I called her back and so did the owner of the company with no answer within 30 minutes of her call and complaint. She called me back later yesterday and I told her we would be out first thing in the morning to make sure this was taken care of. She was very nice and polite as I explained what the issue probably was regarding the thicker glass and what she had before. A service truck arrived at her house around 9 AM this morning and spent 45 minutes adjusting the sash so it would work properly in her window and still able to keep the safety glass that is required by law. First we gave a free estimate, saved her a trip from dropping her sash off at our shop and rushed it to be done so she could pick it up first thing Tuesday. She received a job worth $134.20 for $64.24 and does not realize what a deal she received. The installers have reported back today that the job is complete and her husband was happy with the free work performed. We had no clue at the shop that this was going to interfere with the locking of the sash. You would not know this until you try to install and operate the window. I am happy we took care of her regardless the fact it cost us money to serve her. You can't make everyone happy. I think she jumped on this a little too quickly to bash our name on Angie's List. We did not deserve this. Enough said. Sherry Doss, Gilpin Glass Service, INC.

It took them over a week to call back with a quote and over two weeks to come out and do the replacement. They cancelled on the day of the appointment twice and then did not come out near the end of the appointment window as requested. Did not offer a discount for the inconvenience.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I do know you were placed on the last install of the day and it was pushed to the next day twice. I thought I kept in good contact with you in regards to installation. We are, along with the entire glass industry in the peak of the busy season. I think because we give free estimates we have been booked solid and have struggled keeping up with the high demand of estimates and replacement. If the quality of work was not good I would like to know that so it can be taken care of because that is not how we do business. We strive for good quality work. I do hope you took advantage of the 5% Angie's List Discount. If not please call me and we will refund your discount to you. Sincerely, Sherry Doss

They moved a piece of plate glass. It was 116 inches long and about 48 inches wide. They moved it very skillfully and kept in one piece from one house to another. Movers won't move glass. I graded their pricing a "C" because it was only four miles from one house to the other.

Very professional. Good estimate, close to actual even though estimator did not have access to special glass cost. Different guys came out right on schedule to replace glass. I did not have to be away from work for more than 1 hour. One on exterior ladder, one on interior ladder, replaced the glass quickly and so quietly I could work at the computer 6 feet away while they did their business, with it cold and raining outside no less. They did not want payment right then, and sent a bill. Unfortunately the bill, although sent only a week after the work was completed, languished at the post office during the Christmas holidays. I paid it just today, the 3rd, so I hope that is timely enough for them. Would highly recommend them for any needed window glass repairs.

It couldn't have been easier. They came out to check out the problem (I didn't have to be home) and promptly called me with an estimate. It was lower than the other one I received and included some repairs that the other company had not mentioned. The man doing the work was prompt and efficient. It was done in no time and without leaving a mess. I also had good experiences with the office staff who made sure to accommodate my schedule. I will use them again.
