We are a locally owned and operated glazing contractor that has been serving the Florence area for 59 years. We specialize in commercial and residential glass, storefronts, shower enclosures, mirrors and related glazing work.

• Review plans, specifications and job requirements
• Visit jobsites and field-measure projects
• Prepare material and labor estimates
• Prepare and submit bids and proposals
• Communicate with general contractors, customers and suppliers
