"Could not fault the service from O’Brien Glass today. From the first phone call letting us know an ETA from the glazer replacing the busted window & keeping us in the loop regarding his expected time. The work from John was first class. Removed the glass shards quickly & efficiently. Fantastic clean up as well. Highly recommend. "
