We have used Timmy / Solo Glass multiple times. We always are glad we did. This time he replaced some larger windows. He had professional nice guys working with him. It was potentially a very difficult job but they made it look easy and the day was without any drama. I recommend them highly. read more

Tim replaced the temperature-sensitive glass pane in one of the "tilt out" windows in my sister's den earlier today. (I was present for all of this work, including working with Tim. My sister is out of town today.) Tim is a craftsman in an area that frustrates many homeowners and tenants: window replacement, screen repair, etc. He's been working in this space since 1985 and is a consummate professional. My sister and Tim established a price for this work after Tim inspected her window a few weeks ago. Tim arrived on time and explained each step of his plan before commencing work. Tim set up a portable work table outside adjacent to his truck (so there's nothing to clean up in the house). Replacing this glass required disassembling some of the "moving parts" that allowed the window to open and tilt out. Tim explained what he was doing and carefully removed enough of the mechanism to safely remove the old pane and replace it with a new one. Tim is a pleasure to work. There's no debris to clean up (in the house or adjacent to his truck.) My sister and I are already thinking of additional work we need to do that is within Tim's portfolio of services. Highly Recommended! read more

After reading many great reviews plus getting a few quotes for my small job, I decided to go with Tim of Solo Glass. 1) He is very professional and polite as everyone mentioned. 2) Very knowledgeable and charges a reasonable price, and he does clean up after. He has been in the business for a long time. 3) He had a fast response --one place I asked for quote needed 2 weeks. We have a few glass windows (single pane) surrounding the outside front door of the apartment. But there are minor cracks on a few others. In the end we got a very reasonable price, done within the week (he did the job in 2 days). Kindly windexed all the other windows and they looked wonderful. I totally and highly recommend Tim, very professional and a great guy who does excellent work at a reasonable and fair price. Truly enjoyed working with him. No job is too small. read more

Tim repaired 3 windows and 4 oversized screens for us at a recent visit to our home. He communicates effectively, arrives on time, and gets the job done with years of skill and professionalism shining through. It was great to have someone with such precise knowledge about windows and screens to help us with these projects. Thanks Tim we'll be in touch for future repairs. read more

Tim was very responsive and did a great job fixing 5 of my windows. As soon as the parts came in, he called to install the balances within a few days. read more

I hired Tim to fix 3 windows at my home and completed the job within 3 hours. He cleaned up afterwards and was extremely professional. This is the second time I've hired him and this review is well over due. Abso read more

Timmy was by far the most polite person I've worked with in years. At no time did he make me feel rushed to make a decision. He custom fabricated what we needed on-site which I thought was impressive. He provided good details throughout the process including that the new spring loaded window screens he created will mitigate our issue with screens popping out from the wind and/or a previous poor design. read more

Tim answered my initial phone call and arranged a time to come to my house less than one week later. He replaced 20 panes if glass, cleaned the areas when finished, and is very reasonably priced. He is a pleasant man to deal with and communicates well. I would strongly recommend using SoLo Windows when looking for glass replacement. I have steel framed windows and it is difficult to find people to work on these. Great work! Thank you, Tim and Sean. read more

Tim at Solo Glass is excellent! He is very precise, knowledgeable and super friendly! He gets the job done! The windows came out beautiful. Some of them were replaced and some fixed. Our condo is old and have specific type of windows. Tim knew what needs to be done and he did it in total perfection. We would highly recommend Tim to anyone who is looking for a professional and great quality product with excellent touch. Thank you Tim!!!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Tim at Solo Glass and Mirror is fantastic. We've done many renovations over the years and pretty quickly can figure out how a vendor is going to work out. Tim ranks at the top of the list. Tim took my call. He asked me to text him my information and quite quickly came to quote replacing all the double pane glass in our circa 1970s aluminum windows and doors Brookline/Brighton area. Estimate arrived with in 24 hours and was fair for work that can only be done by someone who knows what they're doing. Sooner than promised the new glass is in and has changed the entire living experience of our new home. Tim also put new screen material in the frames and it's lovely. Don't wait to sell your home to fix your windows! Fix them and enjoy them! Easy to do now that you can call Tim!!! read more

Tim is the greatest. Fixed 4 window (some cracked, some the ropes broke) in an afternoon for a great price. Honest and hardworking. He also had his pugs with him which was so fun! Highly recommend read more

I needed a small replacement of a French door pane and was quoted 200$. we agreed A week later I asked when they would show up and was told it would cost 300$ Thieves. I think they posted the note below. read more

As a physically-challenged senior citizen I had to make my way to Brighton to Solo glass to bring both a wood-framed tray which required glass replacement and a lucite cane which required shortening. Tim charged me $25.00 for a 2-minute labor with his saw to cut off 3" of the cane. He rationalised that I was paying for his time when I questioned the outrageous charge. He told me that the price for installing a piece of glass in the wood frame would be $45.00, much more labor-intensive. I agreed. I asked him to phone me when it was ready. He did not. When 2 weeks had passed and he had not deposited the check for the cane I phoned him and asked that he kindly deposit the check and the end of the month was near. He did not. 6 days later I had to phone him again to remind him, whereupon he said he had just deposited the check. I said "I hope the check will clear as it is already the 27th of the month" Having not heard from him, I was going to cancel the tray work. He said he had already done the work. I said "You were going to phone me when it was ready" . He had no answer. I would not recommend this unreliable, unresponsive person, ever. read more

Windows in our apartment weren't working in the upstairs. Was getting brutally hot and stale up there. Tim came but, got the parts ordered, fixed up the windows. He even took the time to explain how to prevent the same issue from happening again. Awesome service, awesome company read more

Tim has been making window screens for me for over 20 years. His work is first-rate and his prices fair. He's pleasant, courteous, and responsive. I recently had him install new fabric in my aluminum screens. He worked curbside and completed five screens in a about 1.25 hours--how often do you get instant gratification like that? I'm a trustee of our 50-unit condo association and have just had him added to our preferred vendor list. read more

I reached out to multiple glass business in the area for guidance on repairing my sliding glass door out to my deck. It was scratched with sand paper and is minor. The businesses that did call me back simply said they don't do that type of work, which is fair because it's a small job. When Tim called me back however, he first gave me alternatives to repairing the damage myself with specific details. I find it rare these days when a professional gives you free advice before offering the solution that costs you money. Anyways I thought if other people are looking for glass replacement, repair, or other projects in that space should know this company is thoughtful how they treat their clients. I find that usually reflects in the work too. I'll be keeping them in mind for other projects if the need comes up. read more

We had a broken glass in the storage. Previously asked for a quote from HomeDepot and the suggestion was to replace the whole window for ~1k. We were so glad we tried Solo Glass. Tim showed up and fixed the window in less than an hour and the pricing was much more reasonable. I would highly recommend Solo Glass! read more

He never showed up. Never. In 4 months, he said he would come. we scheduled 5 times and he either canceled or forgot what it was about and never put it on his agenda, has always a more important job to do. The last time, He made me wait a entire day. I am so unhappy with this way of working and respecting people's time and peuple. How disrespectful ! read more

Courteous in manners, came with mask on. Fixed broken window, cleaned up afterwards. quick and neatly work done.

Tim came within a day and did a fantastic job. Was able to replace the window in my door seamlessly. Highly recommend for all your window work. read more

Timmy is awesome! My wife contacted Timmy yesterday for an estimate on a glass table. He was thorough and energetic on the phone and gave her a great price. Today I dropped off the table and within 30 minutes he completed the custom fitting for the glass table top. I would recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

If Yelp allowed, I would give Timmy 10 stars. He not only did a wonderful job of replacing the window and screen in my bedroom which had cracked right before the holidays, he was also a super kind and friendly person to get to know. He was so professional and accommodating throughout the whole process. I would never hesitate to use his services again, and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

Timmy is the most wonderful, quickest, and best carpenter I've ever dealt with! After breaking my window due to an unfortunate incident of getting locked out with no cell phone or keys, Timmy came to rescue the very next day! I called him at around 9:00 in the morning to see his availability. He said that if he was free later in the day he would come by, and that's exactly what happened! He installed the new glass pane quickly, easily, and perfectly! Five stars all around! read more

I can't say enough about Timmy and the quality of his work. I had an out-of-the-ordinary project and he did a great job. Him and his pugs came by and created a special custom hole in a plexiglass window so I could vent my portable air conditioner out through my casement window. He did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. He's done work at my dad's house in the past and my dad had good things to say about him as well. Highly recommended. I could tell he's been doing this for a long time. He was able to set up shop in my driveway where he did all of the cutting on a workbench. And the dogs are awesome. read more

Im in disbelief how Tim from Solo Glass has received all these positive reviews?! He never showed up after he was scheduled to take a look at my windows to be replaced. I even confirmed this appointment via text (with name/address) and called the previous day to make sure he would be coming. I even had taken the whole day off from work. After an hour of waiting, I called and he responded with puzzlement as if he didn't know that he had an appointment with me; and he informed me that he was with another customer, and casually said he would come by later in the afternoon. Nope didn't happen..He was a no call no show! read more

Timmy is great when he comes. I had to give him the measurements of my several times over the phone, because he never seemed to write it down (I understand he's busy working on jobs, but if he can't write it down he should ask me to call later). When he did come, he was able to fix two of my windows but not the third, because he hadn't written down the measurements and the piece of glass he brought was two small. I called and texted him for months to get him to come back and do the third window. Several times he said he was driving there now, or would come the following day, and just didn't show up. He did finally come back in February, after starting the job in November. read more

Timmy is a wonderful person. Very accomodating, friendly, and he really delivers a great final product at a good price. I just needed a glass tabletop. Dimensions were good and edges super smooth. I highly recommend Solo glass read more

Tim was amazing. He came the day after we called and fixed everything in several hours when every other company said it was going to be for double the price and take almost a month. He was super accommodating and helpful with everything. He removed the broken glass, fixed the window and reinstalled the glass all by himself. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Tim. You saved me so much time and money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. If I ever need another repair he will be my first call. Thank you! read more

Prompt reliable service is second to nothing in my book. If you offer a quality product but fail to give poor and unnecessarily slow service, it's worse than if you have a friendly prompt staff selling second rate merchandise and products. *this* is the reason for the single star. Solo was hired to cut two pieces of rectangular glass for us. Both pieces well average size, so it's not like they were going to have find some crazy distributor for large panes. Nope, about 18" x 12" ish. It took weeks and weeks. The order was lost, forgotten, put off, and neglected until we had to repeatedly call and yell at them. and then. . . when they finally promised to deliver it the next day after so much embarrassment, they never showed up. Finally got it the following day after having to call *again* and ask what happened. Quality product cut to spec, but inexcusable customer service. read more

Timmy at Solo Glass did an impeccable job replacing a window for me. He's honest, no BS, punctual and hard working. I loved it that when he did the quote for me he called the company to get the cost of the window (no shady backroom deals) I knew exactly what he was paying for the window, exactly how much his service rate would be and was happy with the fair price. As soon as the window came in he called me, removed the old shattered one, placed the new one and even wanted to clean it up for me. Timmy even took the time to go out back to make sure any pieces that fell into the parking area was removed. Folks of his caliber are rare and when it comes to plumbers, electricians, handymen, etc. honesty is the utmost important quality to look for. I know his business works predominantly through word of mouth so I had to write a review! I will keep him in mind and definitely use him again should I need his services. Five Stars all the way! read more

Timmy came right away and fixed our broken window on the spot. He was very fast and professional, saves us from having to take more time off work! read more

I recently picked up a second hand hutch that was missing all of it's shelves so I called up Solo Glass to get new ones. I was quoted $11 each for their size and thickness. I asked if I could pick them up the next day, "sure no problem. I'll call you." well the day passes and no call. I call them the follow day (Sat) and there is no record of my call on Thursday. After a bit of repeating the initial conversation and sounding annoyed the guy cut my shelves in 30 minutes. When I arrived he had my shelves ready and they looked great. I think they really know what they are doing since their store is a mirrored mosaic of work. They had a few large pieces too so they can do all different sizes and complexities. While they do great work they are scattered so they lost my first invoice. In the end I got what I needed quickly so it was a successful transaction. read more

NOTE - THIS BUSINESS HAS MOVED - CALL FIRST Solo Glass has moved - but it's well worth finding! I initially checked out Solo Glass from Yelp reviews. After calling Timmy to get the new location, I took a broken storm window to his workshop. He fixed it within a few hours, called me to tell me it was ready, and gave me the price up front. Great servlce and a quality job! Would definitely use Solo Glass again for glass needs. read more

Timmy is incredible! Came home to a broken bedroom window from falling ice and had no idea how to repair/replace/fix. Called Home Depot and they were not helpful--they don't repair broken glass and can only replace windows with a 2-week lead time. I found Timmy/Solo Glass on Yelp and gave him a call at 9am. He told me to come on over to his shop before he was heading out for the day to do another job. He was waiting for me with a smile on his face with his three adorable Pugs! Took my broken window, took my information, gave me a quote and told me he would have it done today. He saw I live in Charlestown and offered to deliver it to me because he was going to be in the neighborhood. (Seriously, who provides service like this?!?!). He just dropped it off a few minutes ago. Same great smile, same great attitude, and amazing service. I will be using TImmy going forward for any and all handyman needs. So hard to find reliable, dependable, quality service at the right price in this town! Thank you Timmy! read more

We needed a one pane of a sliding glass door replaced and called Timmy. We were going to be out of town and so he ordered the replacement glass and held it until we were back in town and ready to install it. He and his cousin did an excellent job with the install, including helping us clean up the mess that tempered glass leaves when shattered. Thank you, Solo Glass! read more

I found Timmy through Yelp. The reviews were so positive that I decided to call him right away to replace two broken glass panes in a French door. He asked me if he could come that very same afternoon to check the panes he needed to replace, and he did come. A few days later he came back with the replacements, and our door is all fixed. I was so pleased with his work I asked him to replace the mirrors in our bathroom. He did such an outstanding job by making sure the mirrors fit into the cabinets and doing a thorough cleaning after he was done. I will hire again without thinking twice. Thanks, Timmy! read more

I noticed a broken basement window last night just as we were getting ready to seal up the house for rodents for the winter. I called SoloGlass and Timmy called me that night. I sent him photos of the window with measurements and he gave me a quote. He squeezed us in the next day and got the work done before it got dark. Very good work, quick, quick reply, clear and fair pricing. I would highly recommend him. read more

Worked with these guys a while ago and their service still has a lasting memory with me. Nothing out of the ordinary special, just a great group of guys who do great, quality work. I had to get a new sliding glass door for an entertainment center after movers broke one of the two. I brought in the good door for them to work with. Only took a couple days and about $20. Their work was so stellar I am actually planning on getting them to replace the other original door for me because theirs fits so much better in the track than the originals ever did! Thanks guys! read more
