Bostonian Glass Company

Bostonian Glass Company works out of 277 Dorchester Street in South Boston, and the calls that define it are the ones nobody plans for — a shattered door pane, a broken shower panel, a pane cracked by a stray landscaping accident. The company's own site describes a residential and commercial glass shop built around frameless shower doors, storefront glass, and 24-hour emergency service, and the reviews back that reputation up: Gene, who runs the day-to-day work, is the name attached to nearly every account. The last six months tell a clean story: nine Google reviews, every one five stars, and the specifics line up with what the shop says about itself. One customer's door glass was shattered by a landscaper's stray weedwhacker pebble, and Gene had it replaced with safety glass that same morning. Another needed six shower doors installed across a four-unit building and called it an easy, in-and-out job. One reviewer says Gene looked at a window repair he wasn't set up to handle, pointed them to someone who was, and skipped the visit charge — a small detail, but the kind that shows up when a shop is being straight with people. That pattern isn't new: the business has been reviewed since 2019 across five different sites — Google, Angi, and a handful of web directories — 34 reviews in all, and the tone holds positive even allowing for the occasional rough one along the way. Google puts the average at 4.3 from 44 ratings; Angi shows 4.8, though from a much thinner sample of three. Worth clearing up before booking: a couple of older directory listings, including govcb.com, show a different address — 492 Tremont Street — under the same phone number as the Dorchester Street shop, so it's worth confirming which location is current. Two other aggregator sites, ecohome.co and bdir.in, also show a softer 3.7–3.8 average from roughly 19–20 reviews each, noticeably lower than Google's own number, so it's worth reading a few recent reviews directly rather than trusting any single site's score. This looks like a solid call for shower doors, storefront glass, and the kind of glass emergency that can't wait — confirm the current address and ask about turnaround time for your specific job before booking.
