A perfect fit! From customer service to final product, can't say enough on how great everything turned out. We had four pieces of glass cut for our dinning room table, with leafs, and kitchen table. Highly recommend Advance Glass and looking forward o using them on our next project.

Wow, what can I say? This is my second time utilizing Advance Glass for a Shower door, Justin was incredible, coming into my home promptly, and listened to my needs (I have a 2 year old) so needed some recommendations. In addition Mike and Matt who came to install it went the extra mile and were neat. They left the area as clean as they found it, and provided me some great directions, and just conversation, asking me about working from home as a teacher etc.
This company's customer service, price and employees come second to none. They do incredible work at the best price, get the clear shield that goes over the glass, it's well worth the extra $130 (on my style) and helps keep the glass clean. From start to finish, incredible.

I will keep it short. Had a very good experience, very knowledgeable staff, I did not have any expectations as we did not discuss the scope of there work they were to perform on my storm windows. Got the windows back in a short period of time 2 days, the price was what was to be expected. I will use them again for sure.
