We are a young and motivated newly established Franchise territory serving Maine and New Hampshire. The business began Years ago with the idea that buying Replacement windows can be easy and stress free. The concept is simple. We provide high quality windows,service,and installation for a fair price. We are backed by a manufacturer (Soft-Lite) with over 80 years in business and a franchise network over 30 strong to date. We think of ourselves as giving small business attention and service with the support and power of our national network.
After working for a local glass company until 1996, I decided to go out on my own , installing replacement windows and doors throughout southern Maine.
Owners Holly and Dan Libby founded Hour Glass Company in 2010. We recognized the need for an alternative to the chain glass shops masquerading as "local" businesses. We do all types of glass, mirror, and shower door work. We are reasonably priced, fast and friendly, and take a personal interest in your project from start to finish. Dan has been in the glass and glazing business since 1978, Holly since 2010.
