About a year ago I moved into a new home that had a screened porch with a beautiful view. I had left behind a traditional constructed porch that was enclosed and had casement windows. My white wicker furniture was waiting for a home, but hadn't been constructed to deal with rain and snow. I proceeded to get four estimates - two for a traditional porch structure and two for a sunroom structure. All came in amazing close in price. I decided on the Garrety Glass Betterliving sunroom option due to the openness of the view, the professionalism of their staff, the quality of their materials, and recommendations by former customers. I was extremely pleased with the entire process. The first thing I noticed was their concern for the stability and safety of the porch, which was on wood pillars, to be able to sustain the additional weight of their high quality and heavy glass. They were the only group to carefully assess the current posts and point out some major splits. They also were concerned that two posts may not meet building codes due to the distance between them. I was glad that remediation was addressed at the onset and included in their estimate, and that I could be comfortable with guests and grandkids being safe on the second story structure. The quality of the total structure, I felt, definitely exceeded that of their sunroom competition. The salesman worked with me on the details I wanted including the white framing to go with my wicker, the ceiling beadboard, reusing the current ceiling material to enclose the insulation under the porch, and putting damp resistant drywall as well as window/door casing to have the porch match the interior rooms in the house. Also included was a mini split HVAC system to make the room usable year round. Not only was I impressed with the company's materials, the two young men who did the construction were wonderfully collegial, organized (they gave me a daily list of what they would be doing for the two weeks of construction), flexible, attentive to detail, and excellent craftsmen. I would highly recommend them to anyone building a porch; the project was completed when scheduled and the cost was as agreed upon. I now have a beautiful room with an overall unobstructed view of the area along with breathtaking sunsets. I'm very happy with the finished porch and would highly recommend Garrety Glass Betterliving sunrooms as well as their team of salesmen and carpenters.

Sales rep and installers were punctual and very knowledgeable. Workmanship was excellent. We've only had the awning for a month but are looking forward to using our deck more now that we can have some shade.

Got a visit from the owner. Was supposed to get back to me about windows, they did not and I had another company install new windows. They were supposed to power wash the concrete, they did not.

Purchased a retractable awning. Garrety Glass personnel were professional and accommodating. Installation went without a hitch and the awning not only looks great, but gives the shade over my patio ... have used it a couple of times this spring. I have received many compliments on how nice it looks.

From the initial email, through installation of the two shower doors, we had nothing but excellent service and communication. Each step of the way was handled by professional friendly employees. The shower doors cost more than the big box store, but the quality far exceeds anything we have ever seen. We could not be more pleased with this project and Garrety Glass will be our first and last phone call if we ever have a job that requires experts with glass.
