Budget Glass Company was established in the late 1980s by brothers David and Butch Meadows, with a clear intention to create a locally grounded glass service built on fair pricing, integrity in workmanship, and lasting customer relationships. What began as a modest, hands-on operation expanded steadily through word-of-mouth referrals, as clients recognized the consistency of our skill, dependability, and transparent approach to every project. We focused early on delivering straightforward solutions without unnecessary complexity, ensuring each customer received honest guidance and dependable results. This foundation allowed us to earn trust within the Richmond community and establish a reputation for reliable service.
With a dedication to quality craftsmanship and efficient service delivery, we built a strong standing throughout the Richmond area. As demand expanded, Budget Glass Company became a dependable provider for both residential and commercial glass services, working with homeowners, builders, property managers, and local businesses alike. Our guiding principles have remained consistent from the outset: perform each task correctly, treat every customer with respect, and maintain fair pricing without compromising quality. Today, we continue to uphold this legacy, offering reliable glass solutions supported by decades of experience, a committed team, and workmanship that is evident in every completed project.

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!

I dropped off a piece of glass for a customer pretty close to close and came in the morning to pick up the new window right before their holiday party. The window wasn't ready and the owner asked me to time how quickly they could get me out the door. About 8 minutes later, my glass was done and I was on my way. We got it delivered and installed to the customer on time and budget. A+ service you guys. Thanks for everything! Hope yall had a great party! We'll be back! Steffanie From HomeMasons

My experience was great! I arrived from out of town with a window expecting I may need to pick up later in the afternoon but they were able to repair my window right away, they had me in and out within 30min max.. I don't want others to assume that they will always get immediate service, but they definitely made it work for me today and earned a 5 star

I highly recommend Budget Glass. One of my windows was collecting condensation inside due to a broken seal, and they were able to fix it same day for a great price. They also have a very helpful video on their website that shows you how to remove your window sash so that you can bring it in. Everyone was super friendly and the whole process couldnt be easier.

Weve worked with Budget Glass on a bunch of projects, and they always do solid work. Their team is professional, reliable, and easy to work with. They communicate well, show up on time, and get the job done right. Its hard to find good trades that you can count on, but these guys have been great every time. Highly recommend!

I was referred by another glass company... Terrific experience all round for a small sliding glass door replacement project. Office staff courteous and efficient, and technician Tony and his Helper called ahead, arrived when they said they would, worked efficiently, cleaned up and provided billing/payment choices on site. Budget Glass Company provided good value for money.

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!!!

This was our first bathroom remodel where we changed a bath tub to a walk in shower. We hired someone else to do the tile work and needless to say, we should have done it ourselves. Budget Glass came in and was great from the get go. They were able to fit the glass(even with the off tile) and it is beautiful. They have had to come out and adjust the door but never acted like it was a problem and they all were very professional. Will always work with Budget Glass

Lower window sash got broken in our house. Everyone else we talked to either couldnt get us an estimate or was considerably more money and also wanted 3-4 weeks. Budget glass was very affordable and was able to fix our window the same day we dropped off. Excellent customer service and very satisfied with work!
