Lied to again and again 3/31/2010

I had first decided to use them after reading the 2 most recent reviews and someone suggested they are only a few blocks away. I figure it can't go wrong, but was I wrong. I guess anyone can post a review and I wonder if they didn't post it themselves or have a friend do it but whatever the case, I wouldn't trust these guys with anything and I dealt with them first hand. Don't say I didn't warn you. On 3/25/10, Thursday morning. I called to ask for an estimate on 2 glass panels for a door. Tim says he will go and measure it that afternoon and call me back with a quote. Late afternoon I can't find Tim but reached Vern. Vern says he didn't know about the order but will measure it out and get a quote to me early next morning. The next morning I called about the quote but Vern didn't get a chance to measure it yet so he said he will get to it right away. Friday afternoon I got a quote from Vern and was told it was of standard size and it was in stock. They get deliveries Mondays and Wednesdays and Vern said that I will have it Monday morning installed if I give them a deposit. I give them my credit card info with a 50% deposit and asked Vern to order it right away, I need this installed ASAP. I called Monday morning Tim gets on the phone and tells me that it is a special order size and it takes 5-7 days because of the tempering. I said Vern told me he had called the factory on Friday, it was of standard size and it was in stock if I wanted regular glass instead of tempered, and that they can get delivery on Monday. Then Tim said he will call the factory right away to see when they can have it and will give me a courtesy call back. I waited but no answer. I called him back in the afternoon and he said they will have it definitely by Wednesday morning. I said fine but please make sure you get it. He reassured me that once it comes in they will have it installed. I called Tim back on Tuesday just to confirm that we are still scheduled for Wednesday and asked him to confirm it with the factory. He will, again, give me a courtesy call and I said please do that. After a couple of hours I didn't hear from Tim so I called him back and he said yes, it is definitely schedule for Wednesday morning. They get there deliveries in by 8:30 - 9:00 am so he will give me another courtesy call once it's in. I said please call me back in the morning by 9:30 am whether it's in or not. Wednesday morning rolls around and I called the office at 10:00 am and no one answers. I called the other number and no one answers. I kept calling until almost noon and then had someone swing by their shop to see what's going on. The shop was closed and a signed said they will be back soon. This was 11:50 am. I tried to call again but they won't answer my calls. Then I had someone else call them from a different number and they answered right away. We asked weren't they suppose to be installing the glass for me that morning and Tim tell me that Vern is at the factory picking up the unit. What happened to the delivery for that morning??? After that, I never heard from them again. They shut off their cell phone and switched the answering machine in the office to pick up on one ring. These guys are a cheat and a liar. I can't imagine what kind of an operation they are running but with guys like them I regretted giving them my credit card info. I recommend you shouldn't even waste your time on them. I called my credit card company and requested a new card, I don't know what Tim might do with my info. Totally avoid them, don't say I didn't warn you. PS - I tried to publish this without any stars but they won't let me so bear in mind I give them no stars, if anything I would take away their stars if I could. Pros: Lies through their teeth while sounding sincere and cheerful Cons: Don't waste your time with them. BTW, there are no pros. more

Good Looking Glass Shower Wall 2/17/2010

I initially wanted to get a glass shower wall. It came out so good (I wish I could upload a pic) that I had Solo Glass do two other glass works for me. One was an 8 ft piece of glass and the other was to replace a glass in an old internal window with safety glass. I spoke with Tim and Vernon both to make the appointment. Tim stopped by to take his own measurements before ordering the glass shower wall, took a deposit, and had the glass delivered to his shop. Tim gave me a courtesy call when the piece was ready, brought it over and installed it in about an hour. Solo Glass is a family owned business and based on my experience is taking the turn for the better based on my recent experience. I am glad I had not read these earlier reviews. I hope this is a start of a successful business for them since they work pretty hard at what they do. Good Luck. Pros: Professional work more

Waste of Time 1/9/2010

I had the week after Christmas off from work and decided to get somebody in to fix the sash cords on my windows. I called Solo Glass and made an appointment 10 days ahead with Tim to come on Thursday. As Thursday rolled around and nobody showed up by 11 am, I placed a call to find out what was going on. I spoke with Verne. He didn't know where Tim was and took my phone message. I get a call on Saturday around 7pm from Tim claiming that he had to go to the hospital on Thursday for the flu. I asked him why he didn't call to alert me on Thursday. He states that he thought Verne would call. He didn't know that Verne and I spoke and was trying to cover his butt. He then says how bout if he comes on Monday. Monday's a work day for me. Not trusting him with my time any more I told him I'd like to speak to Verne about having him come. I believe Verne is his brother. Tim calls me back 10 minutes later with Verne's cell phone. I've left Verne 2 messages and have had no call back. In my opinion, these guys are a waste of time. No repect whatsoever for my time.\r \r Cons: Don't show up for appointments more

I was lied about my order a number of times 10/17/2009

I was charged $200 deposit to have glass on three windows replaced on August 13 2009.\r \r Today is October 17, 2009\r Two appointments were made to have it installed. Both times nobody showed up. I finally contacted my credit card company. Later, I'll complain to the Better Business Bureau Cons: Lies more
