Manuel’s Glass

I purchased and rehabbed a bank owned condo in downtown Long Beach and wanted a more custom shower than what’s available at mass home improvement centers. I also prefer to support small local businesses. Manuel’s Glass was referred to me by my contractor. And his pricing with installation was excellent. You have the assurance that the product will be installed properly. I spoke to Manuel and he came the following day to take measurements. Today, his friendly and professional crew, Javier and Mario installed it. They took the utmost care when installing the doors. I couldn’t be happier with the service and finished product. I love that the door open both ways.

Best prices!!! Super nice! I will go back! They get the job done quick! Friendly place!

OK, so everyone deserves a second chance I suppose. It was eating at me the failed attempts as stated in my previous Unilocal review for Manuel’s Glass and I just couldn’t take it any longer. This was so unlike him, so we drove over to Manuel’s Glass instead of trying to do this over the phone. Manuel was actually there and agreed to follow us immediately over to our house to check out the glass we needed replaced! Once that was done, he ordered the glass and said he’d call us the next week when it came in. That required a follow-​up phone call on our part, but at this point, we were ahead of the game as we actually had talked with him this time! We followed up, the glass came in and «Jose» came over to install it. He was actually the same guy six years ago that came over to replace one of our other panes of glass and remembered everything about the glass (even the color!). It appears that when Manuel gets VERY busy, appointments and phone calls may fall through the cracks for his customers, but if you have patience and follow-​up by driving over there, you won’t be disappointed in the long run. Thank God, our faith in Manuel’s Glass has been restored and we are back to recommending him once again. Thank you Manuel, Jose and staff!

Jose, a 6’2″ tall man came this morning to install two new windows in my studio apartment. I assumed he would do the job right, but he did a substandard job.
After installing the windows, he left a huge mess both outside and inside the studio. When I inspected the windows, there were big cracks that he did not fill or fix in any manner. The window frame had holes from the old window, and it needed to be painted. The outside of the window frames had huge cracks and gaps.
To top off his amateur workmanship, the man has an attitude problem. After I brought the gaps and cracks to his attention, he got offended and said, «I’m not finished! I still have to finish the other window.» Unfortunately, he never got the job done. My windows look like they belong to an abandoned house!
I will never hire these lazy idiots again, and recommend everyone who is searching for window repairs near Long Beach to take their hard earned money elsewhere… that definitely includes all the property managers who have hired this rude slob.
ALSO, I ASKED HIM IF HE CLEANS HIS MESS AFTER EACH JOB, AND HE SAID THAT HE NEVER DOES.
DON’T HIRE THESE MEN, EVEN IF THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN ANYONE ELSE. IN THE LONG RUN, IT WILL COST YOU MORE JUST AS IT DID FOR ME.

Sometimes I wonder if companies pay people for good reviews because I have used Manuals glass maybe five times over the last twelve years and more often than not I end up having to call him over and over to follow up. Most recently, I called him out to fix a broken window in an apartment building I manage. When I went back to inspect the job I found it hadn’t been done! When I called to follow-​up he promised it would get done that day and four days later the window is still broken and he doesn’t answer the phone! I know. fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I WILL NEVER CALL MANUEL’S GLASS AGAIN!

FIVE STAR SERVICE, Best Prices in Town and Super Friendly Honest Staff!

Great and quick service. Reasonable price.

Just got back from picking up a glass table top for a coffee table. Manuel’s Glass did an amazing job. It was affordable and done in less than 24 hours. He offered to finish the job that same day, but it wasn’t a rush job.

I LOVE this place!
They are always so nice and helpful…
I’ve come in here a few times and they are always very quick even though I’m a «walk-​in»

A few months ago, I broke my bedroom window. Being that I am that the kind of girl that I am (a cheap procrastinator, at times) I waited until it was raining and FREEZING to get the window fixed.
I had gotten some estimates and everyone that heard that this window was from an older apartment saw dollar signs and quoted me anywhere between $ 175 to $ 300 for glass and installation. This was insane for several reasons. 1. I already stated that I am cheap 2. I didn’t want to clean my room 3. That Sh*t is RIDICULOUS, what do I look like paying that much money to fix a window .
After my husband freezing his butt off last night (hahaha, I used a heating pad) I finally decided to take the window out and take it to Manuel’s.
This place is not for most of you Unilocal types. There is no valet, and there is no one there to kiss your butt and make you feel superior to any and everyone. This is a whole in a wall place that is behind and joined to a liquor store. It’s cheap, its fast and it gets the job done.
I went in with my son, handed him the window sans glass and was told that it would take 15 to 20 minutes to get the job done. While standing there waiting, I looked and say that it had the glass slats that my very old apartment has for the bathroom window. I asked how much they were and was shocked to hear that it was on $ 3. Upon hearing that, I went and packed my kid in the car and drove home to get one to match it to. When I came back, (All within 7 minutes because I literally live around the corner). the guy helping me told me that he wasn’t sure that he had one that was the same length and that he would have to look.
He finished my window while I watched, and then found the glass piece that I needed for my bathroom. The grand total $ 26!
I handed the owner my credit card and walked over to put the window, glass pieces and my child in the car. I got everything in and looked up and he had walked over to my car to give me my card back. I thanked him profusely and gathered several cards to distribute to my friends. Hopefully, no more windows get broken, but if they do, I will be back!

Wow. 2^nd time I went to Manuel… amazing…I told him i needed the glass today, and he had it installed an hour later!
