The rewards are in the pleasure or inspiration that my work can provide long after I am gone.I love working in The Dallas Metroplex because People who require my services understand that there is a reasonable price to be paid for quality workmanship. We compete to see how well we can do a project and not how cheaply..We started in this industry in 1977.We describe our business as Rooted in the community

Review by Jim P.in Dallas, TX Project: Repair Existing Stained or Specialty Glass
Mr. Trimble stopped what he was doing and worked on the project I took to his studio.
It took him approximately 1 hour to finish my project and he only charged me a minimum fee.
I highly recommend Trimble Studios to anyone needing their services.

Review by Andy N.in Irving, TX Project: Create, Install, or Replace Stained or Specialty Glass
I was very disappointed in the quality or work and craftsmanship. The replacement glass was scratched and it also had some additional flaws in it. He damaged the window frame on my door when trying to force the repaired lead-glass window into the opening. The job took several weeks longer than what was agreed upon. The repairmen's customer service demeanor was abrupt, argumentative and hostile. To add further insult to injury, he admitted that the glass was defective and offered me only $50 dollars in an attempt to buy me off for the bad work. I would have rather had him refund the entire cost. I would not recommend this company.
Comment from Trimble Studios
Yes, there was a scratch on the outside glass and I offered to compensate him for the scratch. To remove the window from the door would have caused additional damage to the door. Rather than discussing the problem with me and giving me a chance to resolve the problem, he called Service Magic demanding a full refund. After getting the full refund from Service Magic, he feigned accepting my offer as if he had not gotten a refund from Service Magic.
Look at my overall ratings and make up your mind. This man wasn't going to be satisfied no matter the outcome. It is simply impossible to please everyone even though I try my best.

Review by Janice L.in Plano, TX Project: Create, Install, or Replace Stained or Specialty Glass
Carl was very proffessional,made suggestions to strenght the glass beyond the actual repair. He was the only one who made that reommendation. He came when he said he would and was very timely in his response to us. I would strongly reommend him.

Review by a customerin Dallas, TX Project: Create, Install, or Replace Stained or Specialty Glass
I had a Window installed in 2006. I started having issues with the window and am having problems getting him back out to fix the issue of installing the window incorrectly
Comment from Trimble Studios
Please compare this rating with all the others. Her first rating when I did the job was a 5-Star. After several years, some "handyman" tells her I did it wrong. The late 1920's/early 30's home had major issues that weren't going to be fixed because of finances. I did the very best with what I had to work with and stand by the installation of the new window in her home.
