About Tri City Glass
He acquired his contractor's license and decided to start his own business. He became known as Home and Auto Glass and worked out of his garage at 2031 Fairfield Avenue in Fairfield, California. His work was performed out of the back of his pick up truck and he did jobs consisting primarily of auto glass replacement, small repairs, and installation of storm windows. Then in 1984 he opened his first 100 square foot storefront at 415 Main Street in Suisun and hired one person to answer the phones. As his business grew and space was tight in his current storefront, he moved in 1985 to a 2,000 square foot building at 211 Main Street and then into a 3,000 square foot location at 209 Main Street in 1986. Because the name didn't truly define all that his business had to offer, Vince changed the company name to Tri-City Glass & Mirror. His wife, Linda, who today heads the sales of residential windows, joined him in 1987 after leaving her job of many years with Bank of America. In 1993 the city of Suisun went through massive redevelopment in the downtown waterfront area and Tri-City Glass & Mirror was forced to move out of their location at 209 Main Street and into a new location at 108 Railroad Avenue in Suisun. They remained at this location for 4 years. In 1997, after much growth in sales and service, Vince and Linda Guisande bought the building at 515 Main Street in downtown Suisun across from the waterfront. Due to building occupation delays, they didn't make their move into their new 10,000 square foot building until July of 1999. They reside at this location today along with 16 employees and a fleet of 7 vehicles and have experienced a large growth in the last 3 years and are continuing to grow every day. In April 2003 they will celebrate 20 years in business. They now offer complete residential & commercial glass services including tub and shower enclosures, custom mirrors, repair work, sales & installation of retrofit & new construction windows, and commercial contract work. The only thing they no longer do is automotive glass. Vince & Linda share a belief that it's their people who make a difference & set them apart from the others and who have made them who they are today. They also share a belief that they should give back to the community that allows their business to exist. They do this by donations and sponsorships to various groups within our community. Give Tri-City Glass & Mirror a call for all your glass needs. You'll be glad you did.
