BEWARE of this shop. They rip you off. I am refurbishing a nice frame that I found at a garage sale. The previous owner painted the frame w/glass on it, and it was all stuck together. I took it to Lowe's for new glass as the pane broke in the commute (jagged pieces around corners). They measured/cut the glass, but didn't fit it into the frame as neither of us had gloves to remove the broken glass. Last night, I removed the old glass, painted the frame, and went to put in the glass from Lowe's. It was 1/4"" too big. As I was frustrated with Lowe's, I went to t he nearest glass shop, Ace Glass on Spicewood Springs road. I took in my $6.90 Lowe's glass and asked if they could take off just 1/4"". Sure, no problem. It will take 5min. I waited 15min in the waiting room and went to see if it was ready. Three office guys (including the one that took my glass) were sitting in the office laughing. I asked if my order was ready: ""Yeah, we'll get to it in a minute."" 10min later, I go into the lobby to get the my trimmed down by 1/4"" piece. ""That will be $20, ma'am."" WHAT?!!! For a piece of glass that I BROUGHT TO YOU? It cost me $6.90! No negotiating. I obviously had SUPER SUCKER on my face. Please beware of this business for your glass cutting needs. I've heard that Alamo glass on Lamar won't treat people like this.I wish I had gone there instead.
