“PRL Glass has done outstanding work on all of our orders over the last several years. I have not have one order related issue which is very, very rare. Hats off to Neri, Lydia & Sergio my reps. I highly recommend PRL. PRL also saved a large Commercial job for us a few years back when another large Glass Wholesaler who will remain unnamed could not preform to needed specifications. “
