Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, we absolutely offer free estimates for all our glass services! Whether you need residential, commercial, or auto glass work, our experienced team will assess your needs and provide a detailed quote at no charge. For standard projects, we can often provide estimates over the phone or via email after you fill out one of our online quote forms.
For more complex projects like custom shower enclosures, storefront installations, or specialized commercial work, we're happy to visit your location to ensure accurate measurements and recommendations. You can also visit our showroom at 304 Main Street in downtown Cañon City to discuss your project in person with our knowledgeable staff.
What are your hours of operation?
Our regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. For walk-in windshield chip repairs, we accept customers Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM to ensure we can complete your service before closing time.
While these are our standard hours, we understand that glass emergencies don't always happen during business hours. For urgent commercial situations like break-ins or vandalism requiring immediate board-up services, please call our main number and follow the prompts for emergency assistance.
Where are you located?
McCasland Glass is conveniently located at 304 Main Street in downtown Cañon City, Colorado, right by the clock tower. Our central downtown location has been serving the community since 1958 and makes us easily accessible from anywhere in Fremont County.
Being in the heart of downtown offers a unique advantage for our customers - while you wait for services like windshield repair (which typically takes 35-45 minutes), you can enjoy the many restaurants, shops, and attractions within walking distance of our shop. We have ample parking available for your convenience.
What areas do you serve?
McCasland Glass proudly serves all of Fremont County and surrounding areas from our Cañon City location. Our primary service area includes Cañon City (81212), Penrose (81240), Florence (81226), Cotopaxi (81223), Westcliffe (81252), Salida (81201), and Howard (81233).
While we prefer to perform auto glass work in our controlled shop environment for the highest quality results, we do travel throughout this service region for residential and commercial glass installations and repairs.
Our central location in downtown Cañon City makes us easily accessible to customers throughout this area, and we're committed to providing the same exceptional service regardless of which community you're in.
How long have you been in business?
McCasland Glass has been serving Cañon City and Fremont County since 1958, making us the oldest and most experienced glass service provider in the area. We're proud to be a multi-generational family business that has grown alongside our community for over six decades.
Our longevity means we've built lasting relationships with customers whose families we've served for generations. This experience translates into unmatched expertise - from vintage window restorations to the latest ADAS calibration technology, we've seen and successfully handled virtually every type of glass project imaginable.
Do you offer emergency services?
Yes, we provide emergency glass services, particularly for commercial customers who need immediate assistance after vandalism, break-ins, or accidental damage. We understand that a broken storefront or entry door poses security risks and can disrupt your business operations, so we prioritize rapid response for these urgent situations.
For emergency board-up services or urgent repairs during business hours, call us immediately at our main number.
For after-hours commercial emergencies, call and follow the prompts for emergency assistance. While we don't offer 24/7 mobile auto glass service, we do accommodate urgent auto glass needs with same-day appointments when possible during regular business hours.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes, we work with all major insurance companies for both auto glass and property claims. Our experienced staff handles the paperwork and billing directly with your insurance company, making the process as smooth as possible for you. We're familiar with various insurance requirements and can help ensure your claim is processed correctly.
For auto glass claims, we can often bill your insurance company directly, and you'll only be responsible for any deductible. For commercial and residential property claims, we provide detailed documentation and invoices that insurance companies require. We're also happy to work with fleet maintenance programs and commercial insurance policies.
What forms of payment do you accept?
McCasland Glass accepts multiple payment methods for your convenience, including cash, checks, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). We also work with insurance companies for direct billing when applicable, and accommodate fleet accounts for commercial customers.
Please note that we do charge a small processing fee for credit card transactions. This fee will be clearly disclosed before you complete your transaction. For large commercial projects, we can discuss payment terms and options that work best for your business needs.
Are there additional fees for credit card payments?
Yes, we do charge a processing fee for credit card payments to help offset the costs charged by credit card companies. This fee is clearly disclosed at the time of payment, before you complete your transaction, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
We understand that transparency in pricing is important to our customers, which is why we always inform you of any additional fees upfront. If you prefer to avoid the processing fee, we gladly accept cash and checks as alternative payment methods. For insurance claims, this fee typically doesn't apply as we bill the insurance company directly.
Can you match competitor quotes?
While we don't engage in a formal price-matching program, we're confident that our combination of quality materials, expert installation, and decades of experience provides exceptional value. We use only OE-quality auto glass and premium materials for all our services, which may result in slightly higher prices than shops using inferior products.
We encourage you to compare not just price, but also the quality of materials, warranty coverage, and the expertise of the installers. Our free estimates allow you to make an informed decision, and we're always happy to explain the value and benefits of choosing McCasland Glass for your project.
Do you offer mobile auto glass services?
McCasland Glass does not offer mobile auto glass services, and there's a good reason for this decision. By performing all auto glass work in our controlled shop environment, we ensure the highest quality installation possible. Our shop provides the ideal conditions for proper adhesive curing, protection from wind and weather during installation, and access to all necessary tools and materials.
Additionally, our shop location is essential for vehicles requiring ADAS calibration after windshield replacement - a service that cannot be properly performed in a mobile setting. While we understand the appeal of mobile service, we believe the superior quality and safety of shop-based installation is worth the trip to our convenient downtown location at 304 Main Street.
How far in advance do I need to schedule an appointment?
For most services, we can accommodate appointments within a few days, and sometimes even same-day for urgent needs. Auto glass repairs and replacements typically have the quickest availability, often with next-day service. We also accept walk-ins for windshield chip repairs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Custom projects like shower enclosures or large commercial installations may require more advance scheduling to ensure we have materials ordered and adequate time blocked for your project. We recommend calling as soon as you know you need service - we'll work with your schedule to find a convenient appointment time.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes, McCasland Glass stands behind our workmanship with comprehensive warranties on our installations. The specific warranty terms vary depending on the type of service - auto glass installations typically include warranty coverage against leaks and defects, while residential and commercial installations carry warranties appropriate to the scope of work.
Beyond our installation warranties, many of the products we use come with manufacturer warranties as well. For example, our OE-quality auto glass and shower door hardware often include their own warranty coverage. We'll explain all applicable warranties at the time of service and provide any necessary documentation for your records.
Can you work with my contractor on new construction projects?
Absolutely! McCasland Glass has extensive experience partnering with contractors on both residential and commercial new construction projects throughout Fremont County. We understand construction timelines and the importance of coordinating our work with other trades to keep your project on schedule.
Our services for new construction include everything from residential windows and custom shower enclosures to commercial storefronts and curtain wall systems. We're happy to work directly with your contractor, provide detailed quotes for bidding purposes, and ensure all glass installations meet local building codes. Many area contractors rely exclusively on us because they know our work is done right the first time.
What's the difference between OE and aftermarket auto glass?
OE (Original Equipment) auto glass is manufactured by the same companies that supply glass to vehicle manufacturers for new cars. This glass meets exact factory specifications for fit, clarity, thickness, and safety features.
At McCasland Glass, we exclusively use OE-quality glass because it ensures proper fit, maintains your vehicle's structural integrity, and works correctly with advanced features like rain sensors and heads-up displays.
Aftermarket glass, while less expensive, often varies in quality and may not meet original specifications. It can have distortions, improper tinting, or fit issues that lead to wind noise and leaks. Some aftermarket glass may also interfere with ADAS systems or fail to properly support airbag deployment. We believe the small additional cost of OE glass is worth the safety, quality, and peace of mind it provides.
What is ADAS calibration and do I need it?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is a critical process required after windshield replacement on many newer vehicles. These systems use cameras and sensors mounted near your windshield to power safety features like lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. When a windshield is replaced, these systems must be recalibrated to ensure they function properly.
If your vehicle has these safety features (common in most cars from 2018 onward), calibration is not optional - it's essential for your safety. McCasland Glass has invested in the latest diagnostic equipment and training to perform both static and dynamic ADAS calibrations. This specialized service is one reason we don't offer mobile installation - proper calibration requires our shop's controlled environment and specialized equipment.
Can you replace glass in antique or vintage items?
Yes, McCasland Glass has extensive experience working with antique and vintage glass replacement. Our decades of experience mean we've encountered nearly every type of vintage window, door, and decorative glass piece. We understand the importance of maintaining historical accuracy while ensuring modern functionality and safety.
Whether you're restoring a Victorian home's original windows, replacing glass in an antique cabinet, or need custom-cut glass for a vintage car, we approach each project with the care it deserves. We can often source specialty glass types to match original materials, or recommend appropriate modern alternatives when exact matches aren't available. Our craftsmen take pride in preserving the character of vintage pieces while ensuring they're safe and functional.
Do you cut glass to custom sizes?
Yes, custom glass cutting is one of our core services at McCasland Glass. We precision-cut glass, mirrors, plexiglass, and other materials to your exact specifications for virtually any project. Whether you need a specific size for a picture frame, a tabletop, a replacement window pane, or a DIY project, our experienced staff can help.
Simply bring your measurements or a template to our shop at 304 Main Street, and we'll cut your glass while you wait (for simple cuts) or by appointment for larger projects. We stock various glass types and thicknesses, including regular plate glass, tempered safety glass, plexiglass, and specialty options like non-reflective glass. Our precision cutting equipment ensures clean, accurate edges every time.
What types of shower door options do you offer?
McCasland Glass specializes in custom shower door solutions to fit any bathroom design and budget. Our most popular option is frameless glass enclosures, which create a modern, spa-like atmosphere while making your bathroom appear larger. We also install semi-frameless designs that offer a sleek look with minimal framing, and traditional framed enclosures that provide excellent functionality at an economical price point.
Beyond the framing options, we offer various glass choices including clear, frosted, textured, and patterned glass for your desired level of privacy. Our installations include high-quality hardware in multiple finishes to match your bathroom fixtures, and we expertly handle challenging configurations like neo-angle showers, steam enclosures, and tub-shower combinations. Every installation is custom-measured and fabricated to ensure a perfect fit and proper water containment.
