Before you call anyone, know these five things:
1. Do they do residential and commercial?
Some shops specialize. A company that only does storefronts may not have the templating equipment for curved shower glass. Ask directly.
2. Do they measure on-site — free?
Any legitimate glass shop will measure your space before cutting. If someone quotes you over the phone without seeing the space, walk away.
3. What's their turnaround?
Standard flat glass: 2–5 days. Custom frameless shower: 5–10 days. Tempered safety glass: add 3–5 days for the tempering process. Get the timeline in writing.
4. Are they insured?
Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance. Glass work involves heavy material in your home. Accidents happen.
5. Do they handle the permit for commercial work?
Storefront glass replacement in Newark often requires a building permit. Ask who pulls it — you or them. Legitimate commercial glaziers handle this.
