Quality glass work in Richmond since 1987.
Budget Glass Company
In the late 1980s, brothers David and Butch Meadows founded Budget Glass Company with the goal of delivering a community-focused glass service grounded in honest labor, fair pricing, and strong client relationships. Starting as a small, hands-on enterprise, the business expanded gradually as satisfied customers shared their experiences through word-of-mouth recommendations. Our approach emphasized clear communication, practical solutions, and consistent workmanship on every assignment. These early efforts helped us gain the confidence of the Richmond community and build a dependable reputation.

We established a reputation across Richmond by consistently prioritizing craftsmanship and prompt, efficient service. As our client base grew, we expanded our services to include both residential and commercial glass work, supporting homeowners, builders, property managers, and local businesses. From the beginning, we have adhered to core principles that emphasize doing the job correctly, respecting every customer, and maintaining fair and transparent pricing without sacrificing quality. Today, we continue to build on that foundation, providing dependable glass solutions backed by extensive experience, a dedicated team, and a commitment to consistent, high-quality results.

Budget glass is just amazing. I had a broken window in my home. I took the sash in at 9:00 and it was completed by 11:00. The service was friendly and what an operation they have. I wish all businesses were run this well.

Cant say enough about my experience with Budget Glass Company. I live in Charlottesville (about 1.5 hours away), but I elected to go with Budget Glass Company on the recommendation of a couple of friends and Im so glad that I did. I needed to have two window sashes repaired and wasnt sure if I would be able to remove them and bring them in. I made a quick call and one of their technicians told me how to easily remove the windows (took less than 2 minutes). I brought them to Budget Glass Company and they were able to repair the windows the same day. My experience with everyone on their team was top notchfrom intake through picking up the windows, the entire team was friendly, patient, honest about my options, and answered all of my questions. After a quick reinstall, everything looked amazing and I was able to save over $1500 from an estimate that a local company had given us to come to our house to repair the windows. Couldnt be happier with my experience with Budget Glass Company!

We remodeled our bathroom and had glass panels and a glass door installed. It looks fantastic! Every team member we have dealt with here has treated us with genuine care and professionalism. From the two gentlemen who installed it (I wish I knew their names), to Elaina answering the calls, Jeremy organizing the schedule, and Chris making sure the glass was in tip top shape, EXCELLENT job all around to everyone! We are very pleased and will 100% recommend you to others. Thank you!

The folks at budget glass are very friendly and easy to work with. Their prices (less than half of the price of a new window) are fair and the quality of work is top notch. The speed (hours!) at which they complete this work is unmatched. Most places want to come by your house or have you bring the window to them or charge for a visit, measure your window, and then tell you they are ordering the glass (3 week lead time usually) to install the replacement at a later date. Budget Glass does all the work in their shop right here in Richmond VA. Hard working folks holding the torch for a dying art.

We had a great experience getting an upper sash replaced in a child's bedroom. The team at Budget Glass (Jackie and Tony) were thorough, professional, and fast. They probably would have completed the job even faster if our schedule accomodated for it. Highly recommended.

A limb fell and broke the glass in two of our basement windows. These wonderful folks were able to replace the glass in just a few hours, the fee was absolutely reasonable, and our home is whole again. While I hope that my interactions with glass repair professionals are few and far between, my mind is easy knowing that these kind and efficient professionals are here for me. I could not be more pleased or grateful. Thank y'all so much!

This is the place you want to go to!!!
Dropped my window off in the morning before work and it was done before I got off work.

As for the cost, I was expecting to pay 2 times what I paid for the repair. It's more than affordable, it's cheap!

Quality was beyond what I expected too. My window looks better than when I first bought it.

Nothing negative to say about this place. Highly recommend, highly!

Thank you guys, you saved the day!!!
