VERY disappointed with them. Scott came to a higher-end vacant home that was about to be tenanted to give us an estimate. He was in a rather bad mood on arrival. He set up his ladder right inside the front door and climbed to the 2nd story atrium window to measure for a new glass window as the seal had worn away. Took his ladder down and out to his truck. I was outside in the garage when he exited the house and we discussed his findings outside. When he left, I went inside the house and was surprised to find a dented/scratch on the bottom interior of the front door that had just been restained 48 hours before his arrival. I immediately texted pictures to Karen and he wanted to come back. However, I had a new tenant arriving within minutes for his Move-in Walk-through and then I was leaving to catch a flight so I had no extra time at that point. I tried to call/text Karen several times and when I talked with her initially she was abrupt and unprofessional. Scott came back to look at it a week later and claimed he did not do it. The house was in pristine condition and ready for the new tenants. Scott was the only one in the house - bringing a ladder in the front door and setting it up right inside the front door to measure the window above the front door and took his ladder down and out through the front door. Scott was the only person in the house. A dented/scratch is what he left. They are absolving themselves from any responsibility, adamant they did not do it even though I sent pictures immediately after showing the damage.

Response from Glass Doctor of Austin
There are a couple items we would like to address. First, we take issue with attitude comment as it is unclear how it was determined Scott was in a bad mood, Ms. [Member Name Removed] was in the process of parting with another visiting service provider when Scott arrived, then after he introduced himself, Ms. [Member Name Removed] briefly explained where and what we needed to measure and then went to get on a call leaving him alone. Our schedule visit was based on Ms. [Member Name Removed] request to look into replacing a fogged window with arrival between 8:30-9:30 with Scott arriving at 8:36AM (GPS confirmed). Well, after measurements were taken Scott advised Ms. [Member Name Removed] that a quote would follow from the office, packed up ladder/tools and left 25 minutes later. We were notified immediately upon his leaving of this scratched door issue. We volunteered to return immediately to look at with Ms. [Member Name Removed] (Scott literally less than 5 minutes away) but we were turned down. So we asked for another appt to get a look fully expecting Ms. [Member Name Removed] to be there to look with us. Well, we got there and were told by Ms. [Member Name Removed] to work with the new tenants who were moving in at the same time to look at the door. So Scott was allowed in to look and did review exactly where he set his ladder (which has bumper guards along the legs) and determined there was no way he could have caused this scratch. Ms. [Member Name Removed] never claimed to have seen us do this, just that it was there after we left. We are proud of our service, our track record with customers based on previous reviews and we will always resolve all issues we acknowledge to have caused, but this is not one of them and we stand firmly behind our decision.

The initial interactions went smoothly. Prompt response to my initial inquiry, prompt scheduling, and then a professional and helpful tech came out to discuss the problem. He told me I'd hear back from them in a few days. That was nearly three weeks ago. My follow-up email has been ignored.

Very sorry for the lack of response. Looking back there was a question about the style of the unit and if the glass could even have been replaced, but there is no excuse for lack of returned call. As part of improvement plan, we will further review to make sure situations like this do not happen again.

they told me up front, on the phone, prior to scheduling that there is a $75 quote fee which will be credited if you choose to hire them. No way to gauge their prices without investing money. This tells me that they probably were giving lots of quotes, and not getting the business, so they decided to charge for quotes. Or they are trying to improve their bottom line. Floyd's came out, measured and gave me a quote for free. I have used them before - a couple of times - over the past 15 years. I contacted Glass Doctor to see what their quote would be, but I am not paying for a quote.

We respect our customers opinions and understand that there are others who do not require this fee. But we ask for this service fee only for requests for large number of fogged windows (never requests for issues regarding broken glass). We are very competitive with our quotes and as identified as a multiple winner of Angie's List Super Service Award, we have proven that we offer excellent service. This fee has nothing to do with our bottom line, but covering the additional time required to measure accurately the number of windows such as requested here.

Price was good. Glass was as expected. Installation went well. Only issue was it took a little longer than expected to get glass available for installation. Was anticipating two weeks and took three before glass and installation took place. Wait was worth it because I got a good price $200 cheaper than competitor.

It was fine. Very professional workers. In and out with estimate and repair work. Only reason that I didn't rate the quality as excellent is that the weatherstripping on the window was not seated well and looked a little messy. I didn't notice that until the workers left, though.

Called Glass Doctor and they were able to schedule a house call for the following afternoon between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. Technician arrived on time proceeded by a courtesy call informing me he was on the way. He had the molding replaced in about 45 minutes. He was professional, explained exactly what he was going to do and then he did it. Could not be more pleased. Would use Glass Doctor again in a heart beat!

Description of Work: Glass Doctor sent 2 estimators out to get measurements. they Came as scheduled. when they left on friday they said someone from glass doctor would contact me no later than Tuesday. No contact as of 5pm ,This is Thursday. 7 says since last Friday contact. Have sought and received an estimate from another co who has been prompt. I had my own business for 30 years and never made a customer wait longer than 24 hours for an estimate I have learned that.If a company is sloopy in initial contact and follow-up their work will also be sloppy. I will be going with another Angies list Glass company that has more reviews and better reviews.

I am certainly sorry for the situation leading to her being disappointed, but after 3 months, I am have a difficult time constructing exactly what happened in order to offer a corrective action to put in place.

Called and arranged for them to measure the window. They were able to do this without me. Arranged a time for them to install the new window. They arrived on time. The window they had prepared lacked some matching aesthetic features. They installed the window they brought and indicated that they would come back with a corrected window. Arranged a time for them to install the new window. They arrived on time and installed. To date, the window has functioned properly.

We called the day before the glass was supposed to be ready and were told that while they had a record of the measurement having been taken, they had no record of an estimate being given or approved and that the glass had not been ordered. They said that they would contact the gentleman who took the measurements and get back with us. A couple of hours later I called back and was told that they were still looking for the paperwork. At that point I called another company. The next afternoon Glass Doctor called us back to say that they still had not found the paperwork. By the time they called us back, the other company had already been out to our house, taken the measurement, provided the estimate, and ordered the glass. The second company charged a lot more, but their price made more sense anyway. I suspect that the order may have been lost on purpose rather than admit that the price they had quoted us on the phone was way too low. I was not impressed that I had to point out that a measurement should be taken before placing the order and, of course, this seriously slowed down our renovation project for no good reason. While they apologized profusely, I would not do business with a company that is apparently as disorganized as this with staff as poorly trained as it seems they are.
Description of Work: I contacted Glass Doctor about replacing a shower wall that was the wrong size for a renovation project. They said it would cost $270 to replace it without installation. I suggested that perhaps they should send someone to take a measurement since it would need to work with the other pieces. They sent someone over and said that it would be ready in a week.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the price they gave me compared with some competitors. I kept thinking that the height of my glass or the desire for the oil-rubbed bronze fixtures would increase the cost but it didn't. They let me know from the beginning that after final measurements were made it would take about 5-7 business days to manufacture the glass. It took 5. I was called with a time when they would arrive to install and they were on time. They brought in all the glass pieces at once and Alex and a helper put it all together. Days later on a Friday afternoon I discovered a small leak under 2 clips and they sent someone out first thing Monday morning to fix it. Love the quality of the glass and the hardware. The price was the very best.
Description of Work: Installed a frameless glass shower (80 inches high) that included oil-rubbed bronze hinges and clips and door handles for a single 28" door. Included sweep at bottom and side of door. 3/8" thick glass.

Beautifully! The gardener's lawn mower threw a rock that broke a huge window in the front door. It was a piece of art glass that matched the other door. Glass Doctor showed up within hours and put in a piece of temporary glass so we didn't have cardboard (which makes you feel very vulnerable) A week later they were able to replace it with the perfect match of art glass. All of the workmen were super nice, professional and efficient!! I would use them again in a heartbeat.
