Solo Glass

I broke a large glass window at my parents’ house the day after Thanksgiving. It was cold and rainy, so we needed a fix as soon as possible. My mom spent a while calling a number of different places, most of which didn’t answer. One did, but they were prohibitively expensive and charging even more because of the emergency repair. Finally, we came across Timmy at Solo Glass.
Timmy was prompt in his response, very polite, and offered to be out at our house first thing on Saturday morning after Thanksgiving. He did excellent work. He came with a table to cut the glass on-​site and finished his work in less than an hour. He then spent a several hours helping us install some tricky storm windows, and get some other windows that had been painted shut unstuck.
Timmy’s work was excellent, his prices very fair, the quality of his work supreme, and we would recommend him to anyone who needs help with some glass.

Excellent service. We ordered a piece of glass for our dining table. The glass is perfect fit and service is excellent. He really goes beyond and very friendly. Absolutely recommend him!!!

I needed to get a piece of glass cut — called and texted Tim a multiple times over the course of two weeks — every time he would promise to get the job done, but would not actually do it. He even set up an appointment for me to pick it up at the shop, but the glass was not ready and he was not there. Very unprofessional — stay away from this place. I ended up going to a different place — paid slightly more, but all it took was one phone call, and the job was done exactly when they said it would.

Tim replaced the glass on 2 broken windows and 3 storm windows at our house in Newton. He was efficient, friendly and did clean professional work. He finished the whole job in one day. Great service!

Timmy handled my bedrooms’s window replacement. He set up an appointment with me the night before for an estimate, and unlike most contractor and home repair services folks I’ve worked with, he showed up on time and gave prompt status updates. The entire repair took less than one business day.
He also has the cutest pugs ever!!! Seriously.

had scheduled a meeting w/​Solo Glass at my office for 8am on Monday. i came in an hour early to meet w/​the rep and they never showed up or called.

I used Tim to cut and install glass top for my oval shaped dining table. He also replaced two broken glasses in house.
He did excellent job — He is punctual, easy to communicate with, and very polite.
Look no further.

The mover shattered the glass top of our daughter’s coffee table and we were searching for a replacement in the Boston area. We found Solo Glass through the usual Google search, Timmy was very courteous on the phone and got the glass top ready within the same day. Timmy delivered it even it was night, we really could not ask for a better service than that. I strongly recommend Solo Glass for your glass repair/​work, it’s hard to find someone you can trust these days. Solo Glass made the product with very reasonable price and provided superb services.

I have been to Timmy at Solo Glass on three separate occasions, and will not go elsewhere! He is honest, precise, timely and reasonable.
Look no Further!

Solo Glass rocks! Only 2 days after I phoned, Timmy was able to come to the house to replace broken glass panes in a couple of French doors. He worked quickly, did a fabulous job, and cleaned up thoroughly, and for a very fair price. While replacing one of the panes, he noticed a place where the molding was missing and took the time to apply some putty to make it look better – without charging!

100% recommend Timmy, the owner at Solo Glass. In a pinch he was able to fix a broken folding closet mirror for me in a time crunch, and even when we had less time than anticipated he dropped everything to make it work. Timmy is personable, trustworthy and very good at what he does. His prices are very reasonable and the work is excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend Timmy, as you can see from all the positive reviews he is the BEST!

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!

Very good experience with Solo Glass. Timmy is very customer oriented and works hard to make sure that everything is as it should be. I ordered glass shelving for some cabinets in my home. The shelves come out great. We would definitely use him again.

Timmy is just the best! I needed to replace a glass shelf and called Solo Glass in the morning. Timmy was courteous over the phone and very prompt at getting me a quote. I asked if I could pick up the glass later that afternoon, thinking that it would impossible but Timmy got it ready in hours! I could not be happier with Solo Glass and only wish that I had used Timmy when I renovated my bathrooms.

It’s very refreshing to be able to say «I received, prompt, polite and professional service.» Thank you Timmy you did a great job replacing glass for my front porch door. He even added putty on the frame in areas I forgot to ask for. The price was very reasonable as well. I’d recommend Solo Glass and Timmy for you glass needs. Great job.

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.

if i could give this jerk zero stars i would. I went to Timmy @ Solo Glass to cut a piece of frosted ¾″ kidney shaped glass that split in half. I gave him the two pieces, he said no problem it would take a couple weeks. Three weeks later no word from Timmy.
I call, no answer. I go to the shop and Timmy tells me he’s having some issues with one of his employees and they misplaced my one of a kind broken piece of glass that can’t be replaced but he thinks the assistant has it in his truck and he will track it down. After multiple call and back and forth, going to other glass cutters that Tim says his assistant might have left the glass at, he drops off the face of the earth. I drive to his shop to see it’s been locked up by the IRS and i need to call them to get my stuff. Finally the feds get this idiot to call me back and meet me at the shop just so he can tell me he doesn’t have it but his glass guy that turns out to be his partner, that turns out to be the deceased business owners son has my glass. He gives me that kids name and i chase him down, find his home address and show up at is house in Roxbury to finally get the original broken piece back from him. Tim made me chase down all leads other companies employees etc. myself. It took over five months from the time i dropped off my glass to when i got it back. Tim basically told me too bad and he was having problems of his own. Avoid this guy like the plague! Buyer Beware!!!

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 Unilocal 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!

NOTE — THIS BUSINESS HAS MOVED — CALL FIRST
Solo Glass has moved — but it’s well worth finding!
I initially checked out Solo Glass from Unilocal 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.

I’ve been a Unilocal mooch most of my adult life. Thousands of reviews read, none really delivered. Today I write my first review after a warming experience with a professional. Honest, high-​quality work is all I ask for and Timmy truly delivered.
I gave Timmy a call on the Saturday after Thanksgiving after searching Unilocal for local glass experts. I was on my way to his workshop with a vinyl thermally insulated window with a cracked pane. I described the issue to Timmy on the phone and told him I was just around the corner. He agreed to take a look as the issue was right up his alley with his experience.
Timmy gave me a quote on the spot and 1.5 hr estimated TTD. He was spot on with the estimate and gave me a «courtesy call» when he was finished. Timmy was very pleasant to work with and I was surprised by how quickly he turned the project around.
