Glassboro takes its name seriously — the borough was a glass-manufacturing center for over a century, and the Heritage Glass Museum on High Street is a working tribute to that. Today the town is dominated by Rowan University (formerly Glassboro State College), which has expanded aggressively over the past two decades and brought a wave of student-housing construction along with it.
Our Glassboro work is split between Rowan-adjacent multifamily and student-housing work (replacement IGUs, board-up after end-of-semester damage, storefront glass on Rowan Boulevard retail), and steady residential replacement in the surrounding 1950s-1970s housing stock that surrounds the campus.
What We Work On in Glassboro
