I had a custom glass cut request regarding a glass table top and I am extremely pleased at the customer service and the courtesy that was shown by the staff at Baer Glass. They are very kind, timely, and their prices are unbelievable! I had a wonderful experience - it was well worth the visit!

I have a 100 year old craftsman bungalow. A few years ago we did a full kitchen remodel which included custom built quarter sawn white oak cabinets that I built. We wanted to tie the cabinets into the house by matching glass already in use in other doors. After sending a pic of the 100 year old glass to the owner, he quickly replied that it was Wissmach Florentine glass, and that he had some of it in stock. It's great that quality brick and mortar businesses like Baer Glass still exist. The cabinets turned out beautiful with the historic glass installed.

Had two of the nicest guys come from Baer Glass, .first one was Skippy and he checked out what i needed then Kevin came and installed the plastic (glass like ) covering for my door. They came within a half hour of my calling. Not only were they professional but they were so nice and understanding. I highly recommend using Baer Glass.

I have had my. Glass on layaway for over 3 years now. Put $50 down and havent paid for it yet. Have had a lot of bills and havent been able to pay for this glass. The owner still has my glass on hold with my name on it. One if nicest people I ever met. Im about to call him next week to put my glass up. Best company ever! Never met anyone like him.
