Bad attitude and extremely expensive. I requested pricing on a few small pieces of 1/8 glass to replace cracked window. From the first interaction the woman that I spoke with had an unwelcoming tone, and the quote ended up being $50+ for each piece. I asked about the price and the response was take it or leave it. Ended up going to Mayer's hardware and the cost $12 for the exact same piece.

For replacing two pieces of glass in my broken windows it cost me $54.00. I sure miss our neighborhood hardware stores! The service was wonderful and prices was fair.

Needed 2 small pieces (maybe 6 x 18 inches each) of standard thickness mirror for a retro style medicine cabinet. Called a week ahead and was told to stop in. Made a special trip only to be quoted with a price of about $365! Was told the price was higher because they didn't have it in stock. Decided to comparison shop and stopped by Genesee Glass & Mirror, who quoted me $63 for the same product. Moral of the story, don't waste your time going to Flower City Glass, especially for small residential projects, they clearly don't want that type of business.

Dropped by to get a large piece of glass for a fancy table shortened after an unfortunate accident. It was a drop in and they had it all resolved in less than 20 minutes and as good as new, albeit shortened. Great and friendly service.
