I would definitely use Glass Guru again if something like this happens.

I like that we were able to schedule a virtual consultation during COVID. I sent Hirshfield's photos and measurements before the consultation. The customer service rep, Beth was pleasant and informative on the call. She told me she'd draft up a quote based on our living room's details/measurements. However, when I received the quote, there was a miscalculation on how many windows we had. Also, the price was quite outrageous! I emailed her back asking her to revise the quote and make some other adjustments to lower the price, but I received NO response. I thought that was kind of rude. Overall, I won't be going with Hirshfield's because it felt like they aren't considerate of their customer's needs or budget.

I contacted Hopkins Glass and Glazing about re-glazing several windows in a house we recently…read morepurchased. They paid a site visit to assess the job and to my amazement they informed me that the windows were sound and that the only thing we needed to do to get the condensation out was to make sure the panes were in their correct slots and to clean the glass. They didn't charge us a penny. This is exemplary professional and honest business practice, and I won't hesitate to call them if any window or other glass need arises. Bravo.

They are vintage amber colored pieces of glass. We have a friend who blows glass who told us we were screwed and that no one would be able to match the color or replicate what we have (note to self never listen to them again lol). After inquiring with hopkins glass and shower they said they'd be happy to help. We made the measurements and sent them over, they then said we could also bring in the broken pieces so they could make sure they got the right color and thickness/edge shape as well as dispose of the broken pieces for us. It was a two week turn around time and the price was extremely reasonable, much lower than we expected. The piece looks amazing and matches our table PERFECTLY!! We are so happy and highly recommend. We will be using them for future projects.

There are three things an adult man needs in today's society:…read more-A barber. No, a hair stylist does not count. We can't wear makeup, but we can be sure that one thing is correct. -A tailor. Buy clothes that come closest to fitting, then make them. You look and feel better. Shocker. -A serious business framer. If you go to Michael's Craft stores with your coupon in hand, I will strike you on the mouth for even considering that crap before you enter your car. Dan is my framer and he's a one-man operation that just moved to Nordeast Minneapolis. He does everything by a quick email/phone call, but has normal hours that you can stop by for. His prices are inexpensive, which is normally impossible in actual framing for high quality wood and glass that's worth putting in a house or really any non-dorm room. When you're spending $30-50 at Ikea for plastic with plexi or $100-150 with food and glass, the choice isn't that difficult. He makes a variety of other products too if you need a coat rack to iPhone holder to a variety of driftwood objects. He's a bit of a wizard craftsman, harking from an earlier day of commerce. I find him comically cheap and have no idea how he stays in business, but when you make a solid product, it's odd but people want to come back to you and refer you to friends. Definitely check him out if you're framing your friend's hipster artwork or grandmother's portrait. He's worth the google search.

I have reached out to the salesman about this and he agreed that the caulking looked bad, but then he stopped responding to me and then said this is not covered under warranty.
