I called Affordable Glass and they set up an appointment for an estimate within a day or so of my call. The technician showed up right on time and measured the two window with broken glass that needed to be replaced. Later that afternoon, the office called me with an estimate which I accepted. They ordered my glass - took about a week to get - and scheduled the installation the following week. Again the technician was right on time and he quickly fixed both windows. He was very professional, friendly and best of all, he loved my dogs and they him! Very good experience, I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They came out and looked at the broken window, measured it and gave an estimate. I accepted the estimate and they ordered the glass and installed it.

I selected three Angies List suppliers and got estimates to replace the glass in two large windows that had cracks. Affordable Glass arrived on time to take measurements and offered a competitive price. They delivered an emailed written estimate very quickly and professionally. (One other was verbal and the highest was handwritten on a scrap of paper.) I placed the order. It took a couple of days longer than expected to get the glass, but once it was in, we scheduled an appointment and they arrived on time to do the installation. They cleaned the window area and installed the glass and caulked the windows. They look great and the house and exterior were left clean. Everyone I spoke to, from the office staff to the estimator to the installers, was professional and friendly. I would use them again.

I have done business with Affordable Glass for almost twenty years however, they now have another owner. I contacted them about my ten year warranty on the glass which states that a $65 service charge will apply. The technician came and meaured the windows, a large single pane in the bedroom and a bay window with several panes. About two days later I received a estiimate for $550. They charge me for 11 "windows", one for the bedroom and ten for the ten panes in the bay window. They gave me a discount at $55 instead of the $65. Nothing in the waranty specifies "panes" only units or windows. I consider the bay window a single unit regardless of the number of panes." I talked to the representative but she was unable do to anything. The owner called me the next day and said that I was getting a good deal. I asked if he would honor the previous owner's warranty at $65 but he was non committal. We did not resolve the issue.
Description of Work: Measure two windows that failed for waranty replacment.

Unfortunately, the member’s project has several pieces that are out of the control of Affordable Glass and Mirror. Yet, we would like to resolve this for the member. Here are some circumstanced to consider. This order is over 9 years old. The original company Carolina Bevels/Affordable Glass and Mirror (and owner) that performed this work is no longer in business. We bought the assets of that company and started over. In addition, the manufacture (AFGD) whose windows have failed is no longer in business. Yet, given these facts, we have offered to help the member and our offer still stands. We feel our offer is a very fair offer and exceeds “typical industry warranties.” Typically industry warranties are 1 year on labor and 5 years on the Insulated Glass Units (IG). In this case, the IG warranty is over 10 years old. Furthermore, we anticipate “typical labor cost” to be 12 hours and $75 per hour for a cost of $900. Under typical warranties, the cost for these repairs are $900 and an IG manufacture would provide the IGs. Our understanding of the member’s warranty agreement is as follows. His warranty states that the IG’s will be replaced for $65 each for a total of $715. We understand that the member believes the one window with 10 IGs count as one window. And in general terms, it may be one window. Yet, we need to buy 10 IGs and pay for labor for 10 IGs to fix this “one” window. The work quoted is for 11 windows and not two. And our offer still stands; we will replace the 11 IGs for $550; which includes us purchasing new IGs.

I was satisfied with the experience; they did a nice job. Communication was not the best as I had to follow up after not hearing from the company in the estimated time. I gave them a few extra days, and the response when I told them what I was calling about was "uh oh" which led me to think they'd either lost the piece or had missed it and not worked on it. Turned out the table was ready, so I'm not sure what the comment was about. I paid for return delivery on the item ($45 for a less-than-two-mile delivery) which I thought was steep, but it was easier than asking someone to help me get it home. The delivery guys were punctual, polite and very careful with the piece. Bottom line: I got what I needed, and the people were pleasant. I would use them again.
Description of Work: Had a glass top made for a 33" round metal table.

My apologies, our shop got behind. The delivery charge does not cover the cost of delivering for us. Two guys and truck cost considerably more than the $45 especially with the overhead of the office staff to run a glass company.

I called to get them to measure for an estimate. They gave me a time frame and were here within that time. I received an estimate in a timely fashion and when I called back to schedule the service, they were able to take my deposit over the phone and schedule the exact design/measurements within a couple of days. I was told that it would take 7-10 days to get the glass and it was delivered on schedule. Everyone was very professional, helpful and punctual. The glass looks wonderful!
Description of Work: They installed frame less glass panels and door on our shower. First they came to take measurements, send me estimate, then install.

I contacted Affordable Glass to get a quote for 4 pieces of glass for a DIY shelving project (very small and simple order). I was provided a quote immediately (including the Angie's list coupon/discount). I checked several other vendors and Affordable glass had the best price (some were almost twice as much). I was told 4-5 days for the glass and paid over the phone. They called me 3 days later and I went by the store and picked up the glass with no waiting and friendly service. The glass was exactly the size I requested and is going to look great.

I ordered over the telephone, a piece of glass to cover a wood desk top. I gave the measurements and described the beveled edge I wanted. I worked with Colleen in their office and relied on her recommendation as to glass thickness. Her time estimate of when the glass would be ready was accurate. We had to go back and forth on the delivery time, and that worked out. The fellow who delivered it (don't recall his name) was professional and careful with the installation. The measurements and bevel are perfect. I was uncertain about doing this over the tele, but it worked!

I first found this business when I wanted to convert an ottoman into a side table and needed a glass top for it. Then had ordered some online shelves that came broken twice before being usable. I took the larger pieces from the broken shipments and they finished them off so that I could use them, too. FInally, a decorative mirror fell off of the wall in my office over the weekend and part of the glass framing had broken off. They were able to repaint the background and fix the broken areas. While it was not an exact match, you have to look very hard to tell where the repair was made. I have never been disapointed with the work and options in this family-owned business. I highly recommend them to any one.
Description of Work: I have used this company many times since finding them about one year ago. They are truly pros in what they do. I have had broken mirrors fixed, glass tops for tables made, glass shelving reworked. All prices have been very reasonable and they have provided the service within a week or so. They call if problems and call to let you know to pick up the finished work. A little hard to find as the shop is not right on So.Blvd but set back down the driveway. The sign is very visible from the road. Well worth the trip and for anything related to glass, mirrors, shower doors, etc. You will be happy with the serivce that they provide.

Unfortunately, this report is 6 months after the project and we can't respond to discrepancy on pricing or tardiness. Please accept our apologies, but we average 30 jobs per week and it is difficult to remember all the jobs. Especially, jobs that happened 6 months ago. Regardless, we are glad that we were able to satisfy you in the end. By the way, if our guys are running late, which does happen once in a while, they are instructed to call and let you know that they are running late. We hoped this happened.

Every aspect of the experience was excellent, from the first phone call to the completion of the job. The people are professional and definitely know what they're doing. They came out and went over the windows with me, and provided an estimate which was exactly what they ended up charging. When they came back, they were again very professional and did an excellent job. We used Affordable Glass once in the past, and were equally happy with that job.
Description of Work: Our 17 year old house has wood windows that slide in plastic tracks. On several windows, the tracks had deformed so they curved outwards at the bottom, so the windows did not seal tightly and outside air could blow through the gaps. In addition, the pins that come out of the sides of the windows to hook into the spring mechanisms in the tracks were bent. Affordable Glass repaired both of these problems.

VERY PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. I WAS REFERRED TO THEM BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR OF OUR BATHROOM PROJECT. THEY WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND EASY TO WORK WITH FROM MY FIRST PHONE CALL TO THE PLACING OF THE ITEM IN THE CAR FOR ME WHEN I CAME TO PICK IT UP. I WAS THANKFUL THAT ANNIE SUGGESTED ORDERING A LARGER BEVEL THAN I HAD ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR AS I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BEEN UNHAPPY IF THE TRIM HAD COVERED UP THE BEVEL. I FOUND THEM TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE, PUNCTUAL, COURTEOUS, HELPFUL AND RELIABLE. I'M A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER. THEY SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY, AND THE MIRROR IS BEAUTIFUL.
