Bernies Glass, 1554 Fulton St, B
Just want to get a really great resource out.
Bernie's Glass is an old school glazier who has been around since the 60's. Bernnie took the business over from his Dad and is still going strong. They do everything from store fronts to glass for tables.
We use them for our house and clients as well. I have gotten glass top for my custom installed desks, as well as mirrors and many more items.
Bernie is a Brooklyn boy, quirky, outspoken (in a homegrown way), reliable, very nice and has very fair prices.
No I am not getting a kickback for this...LOL. Just trying to repay the Brownstoner family for passing on some great resources to me.

My two cents:
Outspoken and quirky he is... in fact, when he visited my house to look at the job he wasnt at all interested in what I had to say or questions that I had. He new exactly the product he wanted to sell me and insisted he knew best. When I inquired what brand of windows he used, he repeatedly declined to share this info, saying I should "trust him" - all other vendors are more than happy to disclose the window brands they are quoting you. How else is one able to comparison shop? He actually suggested removing my windows and boarding them up with wood (!!) for the period that he would be constructing the new windows in his shop. No thank you.
Each to their own. Glad he worked out for you. For the reasons above, I would not recommend.

Queenie. I had the exact same experience when getting an estimate from Bernie. Didn't listen...insisted he knew what i wanted...kept interrupting me as i explained what i was look for...generally, an "i'm much too busy for this" attitude all the way around.
when i set an appt with him, he said, "i will call you when i am on my way. if i get voice mail, i don't come." can you believe he had the nerve to be late and then call to say he couldn't make it. I said i'd call back to re-schedule. he's still waiting for that call.
i work hard for my money and never have to give it away to anybody. he may do great work, but with all that attitude, he'll never do any in my house.
