Chance Hardy

Owner

I was born in to the window business. My father had been a glazier since his early 20’s and I remember many days of helping him out before I was even 10 years old. I began my glaziers apprenticeship when I was 19 and was a Journeyman glazier by the age of 24. I worked for Giroux Glass in Los Angeles for 9 years.

I hope you enjoy the professionalism and eagerness of my staff to help you through your residential or commercial projects.
