Keith began working with stained glass in the late 80’s as a hobby. Then in 2017, a co-worker asked if he could restore an old storefront transom made of four-inch glass tiles. That request led Keith to research this old “technology” and then to start a business that restores these wonderful old storefronts.

Our process starts with removing the glass tiles from the weak and brittle hundred-year-old zinc. The loose tiles are then soaked in a chemical bath for several days, then individually hand-washed and checked for damage. The transom is then rebuilt using new zinc.

We reside in Raleigh, North Carolina. While many of our restorations have been in North Carolina, we have also completed restorations in OH, NY, and GA. We have salvaged tiles from TN, OH, PA, CA, and MT.
