Project Glass

Where do my RDU area friends find reasonably priced custom cut glass for their projects, such as picture frames?

I've used these folks before...pretty helpful and I thought affordable

Burke Brothers on Hillsborough St in Raleigh, near NC State Fairgrounds, cuts it to order.
I believe Capitol City Lumber also does - but shorter hours there - location a few blocks away from BB Hdwr. I live near these and have always been able to get what I need at either of these places.
I just had GlassDepots (off of Poole Rd, east Raleigh) make some pieces for me to inset into interior doors at church, Tempered glass. As cheap as the 2 or 3 other places I called - but this outfit probably overkill for a few pieces of picture frame glass though.
Even AC Moore or Micheal's might do this, but likely more $$.

Where strength doesn't matter, like picture frames, you can't really beat Lowe's. They'll cut it to size as well.

Thanks for the sources! I didn’t know Lowe’s went back to selling glass, the store I used to work at had stopped selling glass and only sold plexiglass due to safety concerns.

Used them once and they were very good to work with. I needed a triangle for a flag case and they made it exactly as I asked

Just a hint - get 'non-glare' glass for picture frames. Much better outcome without the potential glare messing up viewing the picture.

Ace Hardware will also cut glass, I built a couple of challenge coin displays a few years ago and had them cut the glass.
