Lots of helpful people here! Really good barbecue section. Not much in the way of wood, except for dowel rods, but that may be true of Ace in general.
Consistent, friendly service. Accurate cuts. Lots of options from basic and inexpensive to as fancy as youd like. Reasonable turnaround times and they almost always beat their completion estimate with my orders.The only complaint is the relatively small area for customers - gets crowded with more than one customer at a time, esp if they have their mirror/window/item with them. Other than that, dont know what else I could ask for - Id never think of going anywhere else. A+
I have been here numerous times over the past 30 years, and the Carlson Family has done a great job. I have had storm windows, screens, a large patio glass door, wood sash windows, all fixed expertly. They are the total package in a business. Good Local Family Business.
I have been a customer for 20 years .old fashioned, good service.they cut my glass while i waited . thanks
To put it simply, we use Carlson glass because they do good work, they’re honest, and they’re pleasant to work with. They have repaired broken windows for us and installed a shower enclosure. And we have been happy with their workmanship and professionalism. The windows were done right, and the shower enclosure was neatly done and very solid.We plan to continue to use Carlson for all of our future glass projects and recommend them to friends and family without any hesitation.
Have had custom mirrors, glass shelving and table tops made by Carlson over the years. Always top quality, price and service. Highly Recommended
Call them first. There is no need to call anyone else as they are the best. Friendly, professional, fair price, reputable, long time business people in the community. Care about their customers.
Every time I go here to try to accomplish a fix of a home item, they fail to be able to make the glass piece that is needed. I always spend a good 15 minutes looking through their samples only to be told that they cant make something. Latest example: spent 15 minutes looking thru glass samples to select one to get 4 small replacement pieces for an exterior light fixture. Not the sweetest people, either; I asked for advice and she told me, Youre paying for it, you pick it out. After a work ticket was all filled out they then told me they couldnt make it because it was single-strength glass...as if I knew what that meant. This is my 4th and final try with this place.
5 stars all day!! Great people, anything you need glass! 100 years says something!! Dynamo
Cracked window was replaced in my townhouse. I contacted Carlson’s who came out first for evaluation and then provided me with an estimate. I had already been in touch with the manufacturer but decided having a local company I trusted take care of the job I chose Carlson’s glass. The installer was prompt and the job was done in a very timely manner. He made sure it worked properly inside and out. I would highly recommend Carlson’s for any window/glass installation or repair.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! First they gave me the wrong size glass, then the guy grabbed my window while I was holding it and started pushing me around violently. The police are here and Im pressing charges.
Very pleased with the prompt, professional work done to replace a thermopane window unit in the existing frame in our 106-year-old building. The old glass was out and the new glass was in efficiently, with no mess left behind, and no need to even touch up the paint. The new window looks perfect! A smooth transaction from start to finish.
Excellent service from start to finish. I got the new door and upgrades I needed. They did some repairs others would not. They worked easily with my condo association. And came highly recommended by word of mouth. And, the extra plus! They understood that i needed a super sturdy handle so my Scotties can look outside in eagerness....but wont let themselves out. A 10+ st least.
I had Carlson come out on July 1 to give me an estimate to replace broken glass on a large Pella window. 2 weeks later I had yet to hear from them so I called to ask the status of the estimate. The receptionist indicated that they needed to check with the estimator and theyd call me back. I called again today 7/28 and asked again about my estimate. This time they told me that they could not do the glass replacement. Four weeks to get a no cant do? Ridiculous!!!!
The folks at Carlson Glass did a remarkable job replacing a very largewindow at our home. The installation required precise measurements and extensive planning. Their work was first rate and completed as agreed.We could not be happier.
Prompt, Friendly, Quick and efficient quality work that was affordable. Cleaned up after the job was done. Would definitely recommend and will use again for any future glass needs. Thank you!
We ordered our shower doors from Carlson Glass. we were very impressed with how professional and knowledgeable the installers were. They had noticed we had placed the grab bar where it was going to interfere with the inner handle of the shower door. Right away we thought tiles were going to have to be removed and major work would have to be done. But right away they said we will find a different handle that will not interfere with it. And they did, we were so pleased with their work I would recommend all of my friends to check them out first if in need of any type of glass.
Knowledgeable installers and a quality installation. We had a single window repaired that was broken by a rock thrown by a snowblower, and even though it was a small job, they treated our home with respect, took their time, and completed the work to our satisfaction. Highly recommended!
We had 3 large double hung windows that had become very cloudy after 30 years. Carlson’s came and measured and then a few weeks later returned with new thermopane double glass and efficiently replaced the window glass. Wow clean glass that one can see through! Wish I had done this years ago.
I run an automotive shop and we have large overhead doors. Unfortunately I’ve had some issues with the windows on these doors breaking or becoming cracked. When I first started dealing with Carlson glass I was looking into different vendors that could help in my situation because the supplier I was dealing with was suspect of overcharging. I needed a replacement for one of my doors and was recommended to Carlson from someone who has used them since the 80’s. I decided to call and see what they had to say. I was very impressed with their knowledge and also their understanding in how I needed it done quickly. Not only did they beat the price of the supplier I was dealing with, but it was done in half the time which helped out a ton. Good to know there is still a company out there who values customer service. Great people, great service, and family owned. No wonder they have been in business for over 100 years.
I was pleased with the quality of work that was done for us. We would recommend Carlson Glass if asked about the work we had done. We would come to you again if we needed glass work again.
Great experience start to finish. Made an appointment on the phone, estimator arrived on time and took measurements, received the quote via email, sent the deposit, got a call to schedule installation, installers came out and did a perfect job. Everyone was clean, courteous, and knowledgeable. Carlson’s has done other work for us - always exactly as promised. Can’t ask for more.
Was happy with the start of the process, they even called to see if they could do the measurements early because they were in the area.Once deposit was made the story changed.I was told scheduled install would be at 1:00p. I left work early to accommodate this. I waited and eventually called them at 1:30p and was told they were too busy with another install and wouldnt be able to make it today. The person I spoke to said my appointment was between 1:00-3:00p which is not what I was told.Rescheduled for 0830-0900a the next day. I had to reschedule another appointment to accommodate this. No one showed up as I waited until 9:00a. I called them and was told that the person was in traffic and wouldnt be there until after 930a. Considering they are located less than 30mins from where the work was being performed.Overall all staff has been very rude and making it seem that Im an inconvenience.Update. Tech arrived at 0944. I was late to the appointment that I had already rescheduled for them. Was told that a manager will reach out to me regarding the service issues.
Great experience! Had them remove 1980’s wall mirrors and they were quick and professional. Didn’t leave a mess.
Carlson’s Glass is a refreshing throwback combiningOld line customer service and quality work.They replaced a Double Pane door Glass nobody else would touch.Josh did great work. 6 Stars out of a possible 5 Stars. Perfect work at a great price.....
Carlsons replaced a glass side lite in my front door. Their installer, Jerry, was very polite and I was pleased with his work.Carlsons is a trusted company.
They installed a new Bay window last winter, which looks great, It was a big job. The new glass is very energy efficient, I was amazed at the difference. In winter you could feel the dramatic difference of the new windows holding the heat in the house and insulating the room from the cold air outside.
Professional from start to finish. They replaced a window pane for my house. I would definitely work with again and never be hesitant to refer them to friends, family and neighbors.
Carlson Glass and Mirror made replacing our bay window a super easy process. From estimate, to scheduling, to installation, the friendly and helpful company associates were efficient, gracious, and professional.The price was reasonable, and the outcome outstanding.Thank you! A fabulous company.
Excellent service! Carlson always does what they promise, on time, and professionally. In nearly 40 years I have never been disappointed, and I am happy to recommend them.Thanks Keith
We had two direct set windows replaced. They were quarter round and fairly complex to duplicate. Carlsons crew measured them perfectly and when they came to install they fit as expected. Importantly, I had expected to have to repair damage to the window trim but they did such a good job installing that I just needed a dab of paint in a few spots. They look good as new. Great job!
Very hit or miss type of place. If youre not in a hurry and have lots of time (and money), this is your place. If youre in a pinch and expect a glass company to go the extra mile and help out a customer, forget it. Nothing can get done in a hurry, or in their own workshop, which is strange for an artisan business like glass. Theyre happy to point you to other glass places....?! Carlsons should start to understand that were in the 21st Century with different demands and different ways of doing business. IMHO..
They are amazing - true professionals and thorough communication of details. The workmen did the work very efficiently and cleanly and the cost was great. This is why this local business deserves our patronage they outperform in customer service every time!
The technician from Carlson Glass & Mirror was courteous, friendly, and did a superb job. It was just a garage window, but now its a beautiful garage window. I would not hesitate to use Carlson Glass in the future.
Great job on replacing our large picture window. Very pleased.
I have used Carlson Glass for all my glass needs for years. My questions are always answered, service is great. I have never has issues with anything they have done for me. I will keep using them.
I had been looking for someone to fix a window in my house for almost 7 months - turned down because companies wouldnt do a house call. I emailed Carson, got an email in return promptly, called them back (was greeted by one of the kindest and happiest voices Ive ever spoken to!).They came out to do an estimate, once it was made they came out within the week and fixed it. No funny business. No hidden charges. Kindest folks youll ever have come work on your home!Cant recommend them enough.
The people at Carlson’s are always as helpful as they can be, plus they show up on time, are quick, and have great workmanship. We used them to install glass sides on our remodeled shower, and also to do several different window and screen repairs. We would recommend them unequivocally.
Very prompt efficient service at a very reasonable price - great customer interaction
They did an amazing job replacing the glass on my matted Alabama frame that I broke when moving up to Chicago. It was completed the same day and I was able to pick it up the same day. Very professional and courteous. Thanks for the great experience.
Very professional from the start. Office personnel friendly and helpful with picking out the glass shower and excessories . Installers professional and did a great installation. I would recommend Carlson to everyone
The gentlemen were quick, professional, and Pleasant. They did a good job and left everything clean when they were finished. I would recommend Carlson Glass.
I have been coming here for replacements glass for years. they take good care of me in the most cordial way. My windows are always done on time, the right way, and never had a problem.
Old-fashioned hometown business - extraordinary customer care, communication and follow-through. Fast & flawless!
FABULOUS, FAST, AMAZING, Inexpensive for the work they preformed and just BEAUTIFUL!! I will ALWAYS recommend Carlson Glass and Mirror. It was a wonderful find!! :)
Professional and fast. Did a great job!
Everyone was great from answering the phone to scheduling the appointment and then having the repairman show up on time. I hope I dont need a repairman again for a broken window but if I do I will call Carlson Glass & Mirror.Grant Eckhoff
Great service and very reliable. Will definitely use again
My wife and I have worked with Carlson Glass on two total house remodels and have found their products nothing short than perfect plus their staff courteous, knowledgeable and well mannered. I would never hesitate recommending them to anyone.
Thanks to Carlson, I have beautiful, clear, new double-paned glass in my windows. The men who installed them were as tidy as they were professional.
Arrived on time. Professional workmen. Great results. We always use Carlson Glass.
Although replacing glass can be a very costly undertaking, working with Carlson Glass made it simple and easy. The men were polite and efficient . We are thinking about selling our house soon and now our windows look great. They even were able to fix our very stiff sliding doors by replacing the worn out rollers.I would definatley reccomend Carlson Glass.
We are very pleased with the service and replacement window for our French door. It looks beautiful and saved us the cost of replacing the entire door.
Bad service. i had ordered a table glass top and they said it would be ready in 2 weeks. i called right on the last day of 2 weeks as i had heard nothing. And the reply was.. we sent it out as it was a custom piece and we will let u know when it comes back!!!.. i said but 2 weeks are up and i need it and the gentleman on the other end was least bothered. he said well .. we will let u know.. when we hear about it.. no due date, no promise, no apology for the due date being past... nothing. i thought that was terrible approach to customer service and commitment!
Price was higher than quoted on phone. Employees somewhat abrupt, not overly friendly.
Courtesy shown at the front door; did the job efficiently; answered questions of concern with a professional attitude. Good job!
Service was great windows are great. Very enjoyable company to do business with.
Excellent help from these guys over the years! Super helpful and they know their stuff.
Very knowledgeable about glass. Customer service is awesome
Excellent customer service! Price was very fair.
Great customer service! I would highly recommend Carlson glass for any glass/window needs.
The Carlson family has been a great local provider of glass, mirrors and shower doors among other items they sell in their stores. They are one of the few local shops who sell and install custom glass for tables and picture frames and such and have always been a go to place for clients wishing to replace regular window glass as well as insulated glass panels. Price is competitive with other glass shops and Its always good to shop local.Pete Ladesic - Ladesic & Scott Builders
Very nice job, thanks to all. Delivery a bit pricey.
The craftsman arrived on time. He installed two new windows in an hour and a half. Great service.
Called two companies and asked for quote for windows with broken seals. After crew came to measure-did not hear from Carlson but did (the same day) from another company with quote. Called Carlson after a few days and they said they were busy because of hail damage in area. Carlson called after two weeks with quote. By then the glass was already ordered from another company and installed shortly after.
Replaced glass shower door. Well done!
So I called this place asking for a custom frame. The lady in the custom frame department kept saying you have to come in which I said I understand and I also understand that depending on the fabric I need to frame the price will very but she would not even give me rough estimate of what a certain glass frame when I gave her the exact dimensions would cost. her answer was NO to everything!!! I will be taking by business somewhere else.
Would recommend higher than 5 stars. Great work, professional staff.
Carlsons Glass and Mirror is knowledgeable, experienced and always kind. Patience and honesty is priceless.
Carlson Glass met all my expectations with the most reasonable price around. I highly recommend them if you need glass replacements in your windows.
First class service and workmanship
Good service, got what I ordered in the time promised. Guy that took order made suggestions that I had had not thought of.
Carlson replaced the window glass in multiple casement windows. They were quick, courteous and knowledgeable.
Had a very bad experience with Carlson glass. Dont use them to get door windows fix. They quoted me a price then when I got my final bill it was more than their quote.I ask them when I received my quote over the phone is that for everything and they said yes. Also took them more than 2 months to get the door fix. Always had excuse.Callled them about the invoice and they told me there was nothing they can do. I told them that you fixed something that really didnt need fixing and charge me for it. They may be great for other stuff but door windows fixing is not one of them. Defintely would tell people not to use them. I should have went with Rite Way Glass & Mirror in Woodrdige like other people told me but I decided to try Carlson Glass. Never Again...Will pay the invoice but defintely will never use them again. People stay away from them I hate to see you get burn by them.
On time, polite, courteous and friendlyGreat job
Great job and good communication!
They know glass.
Called to get custom glass made and installed,and when I said I live in sugar Grove,she said we dont go that far. I said its 25 mins away how can you not to install. Then she hung up on me without any explanation. Rude.
Every went perfect
Wonderful to work with!
Not the best advertising for your company.
Professional & friendly
