A Legacy of Craftsmanship, Community, and Coastal Resilience
The Lemon Bay Glass 40th Anniversary marks a proud milestone for the Englewood community, celebrating four decades of craftsmanship, service, and innovation. Since opening its doors in 1985, Lemon Bay Glass has stood as a cornerstone of Englewood, Florida, delivering trusted glass and mirror solutions for homeowners, builders, and businesses throughout Charlotte and Sarasota Counties.
What began as a small family-operated workshop has evolved into a full-service glass contractor known for precision installation, hurricane-impact protection, and exceptional customer service. Now celebrating 40 Years of Excellence, Lemon Bay Glass continues to build its legacy on craftsmanship, integrity, and innovation that meet the unique demands of coastal living.
Lemon Bay Glass 40th Anniversary, Local Roots and a Strong Foundation
Lemon Bay Glass began its journey in a 3,600-sq.-ft. facility and quickly expanded in 1990 to a 5,000-sq.-ft. building at 2840 Avenue of the Americas to meet the growing needs of customers.
Even early on, the company prioritized creating efficient systems for glass handling, fabrication, and delivery, designed to support Florida’s architectural demands and weather challenges.
Community Involvement Includes:
- Membership in the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce, and Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association
- Active participation in the Englewood Lemon Bay Sunrise Rotary
- Sponsorship of youth programs, school athletics, and charitable causes across the Suncoast
Rising Through Challenges
In 2006, Lemon Bay Glass faced a devastating setback when a truck fire inside the warehouse caused extensive damage. Despite an 80% interior loss, the company pulled together and emerged stronger.
This chapter of our history reflects the resilience and teamwork that continue to define Lemon Bay Glass today. The same determination that rebuilt the facility continues to guide how our team serves customers—with precision, care, and commitment.
