All the staff here have been really friendly and the store is clean and well-organized. Prices are a bit higher than what you'd pay at a big box store, but I love being able to just run in mid-day without worrying about driving anywhere, and it's better to support local anyway!

When I needed to replace a 14x18" piece of glass for a picture frame, I foolishly called around to craft stores, big box stores, and frame shops. One crafter supply store put me on hold for 12 minutes; the frame department never answered. A custom framer said her husband could do the job for $22. Then I thought of Howell's, a store I often used when I worked in the city. The clerk answered the phone on the first ring. He quickly gave me a price: $5.37. When I arrived, he cut the piece, wrapped it paper, and I left a happy customer. Quick, efficient, professional. As many have said, it's a great

This could have been a 4 star experience if pick up went a little easier. The backstory was I needed glass for a dresser top. It needed to have polished edges. I called several different glass companies to get estimates and lead times. Only two answered, one quoting a price of $60. Howell's gave me a price of $35, while all the others never returned my messages. It was a no brainer to place my order with Howells, although I did have some pick up concerns. I was told it would take a week. I placed the order on a Thursday around lunchtime.

Howells shares space and/or has some sort of

Outside pane of my large double pane window broke, Howell's gave a replacement estimate which I accepted. They fixed it to perfection and lowered the price because it didn't take as long as they anticipated. Honesty in this day and age...amazing! If you need glass, call Howell's. These folks know what they are doing and are honest too. I won't need to play around if I need anything glass in the future, it's Howell's for me.

Once again, Pedro and Julie came through with quality work and excellent customer service. I had glass replaced in 5 sashes. For anyone familiar with the process, it is not an easy task. After determining the proper size and helping with identifying the glazing components the sashes were repaired The quality of work is excellent and they were completed in a day as promised. I would easily recommend Howells to friends and family.

Needed a sheet of plexiglass to use to hook up our standing air conditioner exhaust due to casement windows. Called Howell's and Julie was incredibly friendly and helpful with a quote on estimated measurements. Went in the next morning to place the order and drop off the exhaust I needed to connect. Didn't expect the exhaust vent to snap into place on the sheet of plexiglass but they beat my expectations. It took them 3 hours before they called me to tell me it was ready and tonight I got it into place and it fits perfectly and the exhaust snaps into place. Couldn't ask for a better fit or service

My husband order a piece of glass from them, almost 6 months ago. The gentleman that waited on me searched the store as well as a second building. Even thou there's a sign stating anything after 60 days will be cleaned out! I didn't think they still had it but I was wrong! He comes walking back to the store, holding the piece of glass.
I would highly recommend this Hardware Store for their, kindness, dedication, caring about they're customers and very helpful! Thank you

Ask for a quote for a window. After about a week, I call in to inquire. Was told that the two people that did the quotes were both out the whole week. Ok, then talked to Bob and he told me he would get something to me. After about a week, I heard nothing. In the meantime, went to Lowe’s, got someone to come out, gave me a quote that day, and scheduled it for December. The installer came for the second quote the same day and moved the install date to November 12th
Really disappointed that Howells glass didn’t follow through after two promises?

Staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about products and items sold here. They carry a large variety of items from tools, paint, hardware and cleaning products, to help you with home improvement or even a diy project. They also custom cut glass, mirror and plexiglass to your specifications for whatever your needs.

They might be great at glass, but they are terrible at driving. A van with license plate ending in 8147 was driving over 80 miles per hour on 283 this morning and riding people's bumpers. Not a great idea with your business name on the van.
