Demers Plate Glass is a walk-in glass shop on River Street in Haverhill, the kind of place you carry a sash into rather than schedule a crew from. The company says it has been in the glass trade since 1935; the BBB, which grades it A+ without accreditation, dates the corporation to 1944 and lists 81 years in business. Either way, it has been cutting glass in that building longer than most of its customers have been alive. The work spans two very different sides. Commercially it does storefronts, curtain walls, mirror walls, fire-rated and ballistic glass; residentially it is shower enclosures, insulated units, screens, tabletops and replacement glass for windows and doors — often cut to order while you wait. The company also lists OSHA 10 and 30, hot-work and scissor-lift certifications, and manufacturer warranties through SIGCO and Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, and offers a one-year labor warranty of its own. The thing to weigh most carefully is the most recent account on file. In March, a customer who had dropped off several sashes the previous October — including a large picture window — posted photographs of the window as it came back and described the black sealer left across it as the reason for a one-star rating. That is the newest voice here, and it is the sharpest complaint. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is expired. For counter work and glass fabrication that may never come up, but if you are hiring the shop to install at your house, ask directly about registration status and insurance before work starts. Where the older reviews are warm, the warmth is about the counter: people name the staff who took their measurements, explained the process, and called when the glass was ready. If you need an odd-sized piece cut without waiting on shipping, this is a fair place to start. If the job is an install at your home, get the timeline, the finish quality and the registration question settled in writing first.

    If you don't want to read the whole review, just look at the photos - this is my window AFTER they "repaired" it. I dropped off a few windows at Demers in late October 2025, including one large picture window. It seemed to take a long time, but I figured they were busy. I've worked a lot in the service industry, so I am pretty patient, understanding and polite in these situations. In December, I got a call that they were ready for pick up. The shop guy helped my boyfriend load the large window in the truck and said we were all set. BUT when we got home, the black sealer they had used on the large window had shifted. So now there was black sealer all over the window and the window was no longer sealed in the frame. I sent Demers pictures and they told me to wash it off but not to use soap or even paper towels because it would scratch the pane (it was actually a type of plastic instead of glass). I told them that it wasn't working, but they stopped responding to me. So I brought the window into their shop again. They sent me quotes to fix the window AGAIN, but I was kind of upset. They had called and told me the window was READY FOR PICK UP, but clearly it was still wet and shouldn't have been moved. They even helped us load it into the truck! I emailed them to express my disappointment and requested they fix it without charge since the damage occurred as a result of them telling me it was ready when clearly it wasn't. OVER TWO MONTHS LATER they emailed me back saying that they refused to fix it because the damage was not their fault! Did I put black sealer on the window? Did I show up randomly to pick it up when it wasn't ready? Was I pushy and rushed them to finish? Nope. So what is stopping them from doing shoddy work that breaks immediately and then charging you to repair something again? Nothing I guess.

    I had Demers Plate glass supply and install a replacement window in my basement knee wall. Great customer service per usual.

    I have an expensive mahogany stained oak table set. With clear stained glass and protective glass above. I went to them because of my history in my house and relative relationship with the demers family. I needed 4 pieces of plate glass. 16.5x 11x3/32. They sold me 4 for under 35 dollars. 1st class results even with an impatient man.

    First time here, recommended by Georgetown Door and Window for replacement glass of two sashes. Barbara was exactly what a customer service representative should be, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, communicative. I called to see if I needed an appointment and she told me to come whenever. When I arrived she explained the entire process, took the measurements while I waited and explained that she would call me when the glass arrived. Barbara called when it arrived and said I could drop the sashes off in the morning and pick them up the same day. She called when they were finished, unfortunately I couldn’t make it back by the time they closed but she was willing to make it so I could grab them after hours. Took my CC over the phone and emailed me my invoice right away. When I did pick up the sashes, you couldn’t even tell the glass had been replaced. Highly recommend glass shop.

    I had several windows that needed new glass due to cracks or the seal being broken. From measurement to install, Demers was on time, professional, and did solid work. I highly recommend them for all your glass needs.
