Toscanini's Ice Cream has a glass all shattered. Wallex was amazing. They had the best and lowest bid. They replace the wall within a few weeks and installed it quickly as well. I would recommend these guys over anybody else. More windows to come.

Working with Wallex Glass was the easiest part of our bathroom renovation. Chris quickly drafted a drawing of shower glass options for our oversized shower. Not only did he give us great advice on how to ensure our framing was prepared properly for a seamless installation, but he also advised us on how to properly tile the shower to avoid extra notches in the glass which saved us money in the long-run. They are super professional, very easy to communicate with, scheduled measuring and installation promptly and the end result is a gorgeous shower that is exactly what I had envisioned and hoped for.

These guys are fantastic. I had a new glass shower door installed which required some finessing. They were responsive and communicated quite well. After the install I noticed that the door needed some tweaking. They were quick to respond and resolve the minor issue. I'm very happy we selected Wallex Glass Co. Thank you.

Chris was very helpful making sure we picked out the right product and arranged for a potentially tricky installation for a big piece of glass. They were patient while we completed some other work & then very quick when we were ready to go. The installers were also quite thorough, professional & clean. It was a great experience from start to finish.
