I was pleased with Brite Glass for car windows, so went there for windows and a shower surround 2 months before listing our home for sale. Owner Rob Hardy helped me, said to email window photos and sizes, which I did. He sent my email to Robert Wilson our “manager who quotes and schedules.” It took 1½ weeks to get a call and 2 more weeks to get the measurements for quotes. Then it was 1 quote for windows and shower surround, not split as requested. We had to pay half up front. After 2 more weeks, at install 2 windows were broken (1 not planned to be replaced), so we had 1 badly fogged and 1 broken window, broken glass on our patio, and no shower surround as it was the wrong size. It took Robert 1 week to place a reorder, and 3 more weeks to reschedule an install, at which 1 window and shower surround were the wrong size. After another reorder and 2 more weeks, shower surround and window were installed, but with a sizeable gap in the window frame and torn screen. I got a call to pay the balance, but the job was not done and I wanted to speak to a manager. Hardy called, had our file, was aware of the problems, was “sorry” and just wanted to know when was I going to pay. It was 3 months after we met, our home had been on the market over a month with defects, and the job was not done. Hardy threatened that if I did not pay, he would put a lien on our home which would make it harder to sell. Repairs to the window and screen were not finished until late October and the installer was directed by Hardy to get a check for the balance even though he knew I was paying by credit card. I got 2 calls late that Friday afternoon before Nevada Day weekend that Hardy said I had to pay that day or a lien would be put on our home. So, it was 3½ weeks to get a quote, and 10 more weeks to do the job, with measurement errors, installer damage, repeated delays in reorders which were not expedited, repeated failure to let me know the status, no priority in scheduling after all the delays and, to top it off, Hardy’s appalling attitude of threatening a lien, not offering any accommodation.

Did not try to sell me a more expensive product but instead informed me of what I was receiving and I felt that was exactly the information needed to feel that the best choice had been made. Courtesy and good overall customer service. Much appreciated.

I have 3 sliding glass doors, all of which are original to a 48 year old house. Brite Glass serviced all three doors and the screen doors with them (new rollers, stainless snap tracks, clean, lube and tune up), put new screen on 2 of the screen doors and replaced the glass on one door. They also built me a pet door in a window screen out of some sort of plexiglass and using a commercial pet door. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the men sent to do the job, and the quality of the work. I have never seen my doors run so smoothly. The workers showed up on time, got right to work and about halfway through a third person showed up and helped. They were finished much more quickly than I expected, showed me how to care for my sliders in the future and then they measured for my pet door and were finished by noon. Apparently my pet door proved an unexpected challenge, and they had to try several times finally using a different material for the door than originally planned. Even though the pet door ended up being more work than anticipated, I was still charged the original price. I originally went to Brite Glass because several different people in the building industry told me they were the place to go. I now see why. They did an excellent job and yes I would use them again.

We had them come out to estimate repair or replacement of some leaking double pane windows. Two men came out on a Friday, took measurements, discussed options and said the company would email us an estimate the beginning of the next week. After 10 days we had heard nothing. We emailed a request for the quote and have had no response. We are forced to use a different company.

There were about three small cracks close together in my windshield. I saw their advertisement on TV for $39.95 so I dropped in to see what could be done. They told me that they could only fill in one of the cracks but not the other two so I told them to go ahead. The other two cracks were not repairable, they said so they only fixed one. They didn't do a very good job on the one so I've just got to live with it. I wouldn't recommend Brite Glass to people because after living with it for awhile now I really think a better job could have been done.

Response from Brite Glass Inc
We're very sorry to hear you're unhappy with the way your chip repair turned out. Normally we like to explain that chip repairs remove between 40% and 60% of the visibility in the break area. Some repairs do turn out better than others, but chip repairs are a preventative fix not a cosmetic fix. The repair itself is guaranteed for the life of the windshield, should the repair ever split or break further we will gladly discount the replacement windshield by $40 to cover the cost of the repair. Again we're very sorry that you're unhappy with the repair, please feel free to bring the vehicle by and let us take a look at it to see if there is anything that can be done to make the repair more visibly appealing. If you're still not happy we will refund your $40.00 in full, no problem. Please call R.W. Or Rob at 775-827-6767 to let us re-inspect this repair.

Service was fantastic. Provider explained the different glass options and how they compared to factory original. Work was prompt, and clean up was impeccable. No little shards or bits of fine glass, dust, or sealant anywhere on the dash, floor, seats, or cracks. Provider reminded me not to wash car for a couple of days and to leave windows cracked about a 1/4 for same time. Wonderful service; would definitely recommend. Also, I have driven the vehicle in town, on highway and off road, no windshield noise at all. Great job.

The repairman arrived promptly. He was very pleasant and personable. He worked quickly. While he was outside I heard a big crash (glass shattered). When he came back in I asked if he was ok. He said he was fine just dropped the old window. I checked the replacements from inside and they looked fine. I paid him and that was that. Later I went outside and discovered broken glass covered part of my drive way. And the window screen from one of the windows was sitting on the ground. I was very disappointed and annoyed to have to clean up the mess.

On July 31st, 2014 we successfully completed 2 windshield repairs for Mr. [member name removed] and saved his windshield from cracking out. Before starting these repairs we advised him that these repairs are still visible after they are repaired, but he would have a lifetime warranty on his windshield from cracking out where we did the repairs. We were actually happy how these repairs came out, however we will credit any customer back for any repair they are not happy with towards a replacement windshield. Just let us know-we want our customers to always be happy with our work.

All of the people that I dealt with were professional and personable. Anthony was especially helpful in determining a solution to my discomfort with a window that was installed in a shower. They did not look for items to overbid the project, but pointed out obvious items that needed repair. Dan was very understanding of my indecision on the project and helped guide me through it. There was a miscommunication on the order, that I noticed after the very nice installer left and it was fixed right away. As budget allows I will be calling Brite Glass for more work that I need done.
