Great customer service. They put a new windshield in my truck and new wipers on. Could not ask for better service!

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality Ordered 2 pieces of glass for our curio cabinet and was told it'd be ready for pick up on Friday. Called Saturday many times, no answer! They closed with no notification or msg or post. Bad business practice. Went out in a foot of Snow just to get it! And they're closed 45 min before closing time! Please post if closing early

If I could give 0 stars I would. They took my screen door to replace the glass in it. Told me it would take 2-3 weeks. They had it almost a month and a half with no contact whatsoever to explain the delay. Then when it was finally done they had the audacity to charge a $75 service fee to put the door back on that THEY TOOK and then tried to accuse me of having parts to the door that they left at the shop. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else.

What I like about this business is: 1. Locally owned. 2. I met the owner. 3. Honest on what they can and can't do. 4. Terri is on top of call backs, set-up, and knows what's going on. It's good to have just such a place that you can trust. No bull.

Hamilton Glass was able to find a tempered, decorative, specialty glass for a steel door in my historic 1950 all-steel Lustron home, when a glass company in my hometown said they couldn't get it. Hamilton did a great job with an unusual project, and cleaned up the work area in my garage afterwards. I highly recommend them.

Top notch high quality above and beyond service, every single time. I've traveled 45 miles for Hamilton service and would/will do it again! Compassionate and respectful service with a genuine concern for customer satisfaction is Hamilton's #1 competitive advantage! Highly recommend!
