My daughter broke the glass on our large coffee table and we were at a loss where to find a replica. The table was over 10 years old and we were not sure where it was originally bought or what brand it was. We went to a local glass shop in San Leandro, (Barnes Glass & Co.) and they informed us that due to the designs cut into the glass it was considered artisan and that we needed to find a specialist. They contacted someone who knew of an artisan that replicated glass, Mr. Andres Lehmann of Lehmann Glass. I looked at his website and was in awe of his work. I called him to no avail so i decided to email him instead with my phone number enclosed as well as a picture of a portion of the broken glass. Less than an hour later he calls me back after seeing the picture and says that he can easily duplicate it. He asked whether i could bring in the table so that he could take an exact measurement but instead he suggested that he came over to measure it himself. I was so elated because the table is over 4 ft long and 2 ft high, not something that would easily fit into my sedan.
The next day he came over and inspected the table. He also took the leftover glass that we kept that was lying around outisde near the trash which he said he would use as a sort of template. He asked for 50% down payment and the rest when he dropped off the finished glass piece a week later. He did an AMAZING job recreating it and it looks better, if I do say so myself, than the original. Definitely a life saver!
Evidentally, he is a specialist and not some regular glass guy because of the detail he can produce in a piece of glass so of course it expected it to be a little pricier. Just looking at his website: www.LehmannGlass.com I knew he could handle it. Highly recommend him. Great service all around!
NOTE: if you don't reach him via phone he might be on the other line which will produce the busy tone. So try calling him again. or email him. :) read more
