Portland Glass of Methuen

Portland Glass of Methuen is, first and foremost, an auto-glass shop — most of its large review volume (4.9 stars across 201 Google ratings) describes windshield replacements and repairs — but the same crew also handles broken glass in home windows and doors. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 110091, is on record with the state as expired. The pattern across the reviews is speed and communication: cars picked up and returned the same day, windshields calibrated, glass matched, insurance paperwork handled on the customer's behalf. On the home side the record is thinner but genuine — one recent review described a broken front door's glass measured, quoted, and installed within a few weeks; in a 2025 review, a home window repair was completed quickly by a technician named Chet; and in a 2024 review, a broken window was quoted right away and replaced three weeks later "with no fuss." One 2024 review even described custom-cutting plate glass for an antique light fixture restoration, calling the pieces accurately cut and a perfect fit. One 2025 review flagged a scheduling mix-up — quoted 2.5 hours for a drop-off appointment, then told on arrival it would take half a day with no option to wait on-site. And that expired home improvement registration is worth asking about directly if the work in question is a home window or door rather than a windshield. For an auto windshield, this is a well-reviewed, high-volume shop; for a broken home window or door pane, the evidence is thinner but positive — confirm current licensing for residential work before booking.
