Our Website

If you are reading this, you already know that we have made a few changes to our website.

Our goal was to make it more inviting and interactive and at the same time showcase the products that we can provide to our customers.

Did you know?

That Roberts Glass does more than just glass replacement. We have two divisions that make up our company. The first is our commercial division. Specializing in commercial storefronts and virtually an unlimited source of applications for commercial glass. From glass & glazing for high rise buildings to glass shelving.

Then we have our residential division. Residential blankets the residential market by being able to cater to the new home builder, contractors and remodelers as well as the individual home owners needs. Providing an array of New Construction and replacement products.

A Little Bit of History

This may be repeating ourselves but it is worth repeating. Dale Roberts has been in the window and glass business for over 50 years, and continues to play a vary active roll in the day to day operations as the companies C.E.O. Ted Roberts continuing in his fathers foot steps, is the company’s President. Together this father-son team, knowledgeable sales and management teams with over 100 years experience dealing in commercial and residential glass, windows, doors and storefront replacements has built the company’s reputation to one of the most respected distributors of windows and glass products in the industry.

Employees in the News

We recently learned that John Gambrel has chosen to return to the automatic door industry. He has accepted a position with Automatic Doors and Access as their District Sales Manager. John has been with Roberts Glass for five plus years as part of our residential sales team. While we will miss John we understand that this is a good move for him professionally and we wish him luck and success in his new position. Congratulations John!

Seth Fickett is our Commercial Safety Director, he also installs commercial glass. Seth was recently recognized in The Spencer Evening World for carrying on a nearly century old family tradition in a little sugar shack just outside of Gosport, Indiana. What is it you ask? Seth is processing and selling Maple Syrup. A small operation selling about 15 gallons a year its not about the money. It’s all about tradition passed down through generation to generation. This is a hobby that Seth truly enjoys, one that the whole family can join in on. Keep the sap flowing Seth.
