We opened in 1961 on Cedar Cross Road, and we're still there. Three generations of Dubuque-rooted glaziers, a templating crew that's collectively seen six decades of bathrooms and storefronts, and a shop that would rather cut it twice than send you the wrong piece once.
It's on every invoice we've written since the Kennedy administration, and it's still how we run the shop. Every job is templated in person, fabricated in our Dubuque shop, and installed by our own crew. No subcontractors, no middlemen, no surprises.
From a two-truck residential glass shop to a full-service glazier serving the tri-state's homes, businesses, and institutions.
Founded on Cedar Cross Road. Two trucks, one templating table, and a handshake agreement with half the GCs in the tri-state.
We stop being "just a residential glass shop" and start glazing commercial storefronts across Dubuque's downtown revitalization.
Our specialty division for the pieces the national suppliers won't cut. Tabletops, signage, stairwell panels, and the one-offs that keep things interesting.
Frameless 3/8″ enclosures become a standing appointment in half the new residential builds we touch.
Overnight, every medical, financial, and retail counter in the tri-state needed a barrier. We cut, polished, and installed a few thousand of them.
Same address. Same phone number. Same handshake. Now with a third generation on the crew.
