My home has a 20x20 greenhouse/atrium room that was added by the
former owner. We use it as a sunroom, but the panes are definately
like a greenhouse. Four of the glass panes are cracked and need to be
replaced. Since the room is 25 years old, I cannot find anyone to
replace the glass. I live ten miles from Atlantic City in NJ. All I
want is a few panes of glass--simple. Any help is appreciated. Thank
you in advance.

Request for Question Clarification by websearcher-ga on 16 Mar 2005 08:25 PST

Hello sarleo:

Thanks for the interesting question. It is hard to know exactly how to
help you without knowing which companies you've already tried. If you
can provide me with more information, that would be a great help.

However, without knowing that, the first thing I would do is use
Google's new Google Local tool to loacte replacement glass companies
in your area.

The first search I did was for "replacement glass" and "atlantic city, NJ":

http://local.google.com/local?hl=en&lr=&q=replacement+glass&near=atlantic+city%2C+NJ&btnG=Search&sc=1&rl=1

Of those companies listed, the following seem most promising:

All Glass & Mirror Company
(609) 391-1818
1142 Simpson Ave
Ocean City, NJ 08226

Wildwood Glass
(609) 522-2151
2505 New Jersey Ave
Wildwood, NJ 08260

Toms River Glass Co
(732) 349-4662
State Highway 37 NE
Toms River, NJ 08753

I then did a similar search for "greenhouse glass" and "atlantic city, NJ":

http://local.google.com/local?hl=en&lr=&q=greenhouse+glass&near=atlantic+city%2C+NJ&btnG=Search&sc=1&rl=1

The most promising lead there was:

Mainland Plate Glass Co
(609) 641-6553
53 E West Jersey Ave
Pleasantville, NJ 08232

because they actually have a website where they say they sell replacement glass:

Mainland Plate Glass Co : Products & Services 
URL: http://www.mainlandplateglass.com/productsservices/

Another possible lead is:

All Glass & Mirror Company
(609) 391-1818
1142 Simpson Ave
Ocean City, NJ 08226

Please let me know whether you've tried any/all of these, and what
else you've done already.

If this information allows you to get what you need, please let me
know in a Clarification, and I can post it as an official answer and
collect the fee.

Search Strategy: use Google Local as detailed above. 

Thanks.

Dear Websearcher:

WOW! I can't believe that I have been searching for nearly a year and
you provided me with exactly what I need in less than a half hour. In
my search I never included "replacement glass". I spoke with the Ocean
City company and I have an appointment. They do exactly what I need.
Please write it up as an answer. Thank you so very much.
Regads,
Sarah Ann
