Bad attitude and extremely expensive. I requested pricing on a few small pieces of 1/8 glass to replace cracked window. From the first interaction the woman that I spoke with had an unwelcoming tone, and the quote ended up being $50+ for each piece. I asked about the price and the response was take it or leave it. Ended up going to Mayers hardware and the cost $12 for the exact same piece.

For replacing two pieces of glass in my broken windows it cost me $54.00. I sure miss our neighborhood hardware stores!! The service was wonderful and prices was fair.

Needed 2 small pieces (maybe 6 x 18 inches each) of standard thickness mirror for a retro style medicine cabinet. Called a week ahead and was told to stop in. Made a special trip only to be quoted with a price of about $365!!! Was told the price was higher because they didnt have it in stock. Decided to comparison shop and stopped by Genesee Glass & Mirror, who quoted me $63 for the same product. Moral of the story, dont waste your time going to Flower City Glass, especially for small residential projects, they clearly dont want that type of business.

Dropped by to get a large piece of glass for a fancy table shortened after an unfortunate accident. It was a drop in and they had it all resolved in less than 20 minutes and as good as new, albeit shortened. Great and friendly service.

Went there for a price for a replacement piece of glass and price was $180. Called Mr. Glass... $100 for same window. Guess where I went? Both businesses had same order timing, 7-10 business days. Friendly staff that's knowledgeable, nice showroom, lots of parking.

Just priced a 9" X 16" vanity mirror replacement with Flower City and almost spit my breakfast up when they said $88...Figured maybe they didn't hear the specs right or maybe I gave specs wrong. Reconfirmed with them and they said rounded corners meant automatic $55 upcharge. So, I got bids from Rose Glass and Sands Glass, both of whom quoted $15, rounded corners and all. Yikes! Folks there have always been great to deal with, but maybe they're sending a message they don't want the small stuff. I got the message.
