Safety Is ALWAYS A Top Concern With Glass Services

We’re Auto Glass Safety Council Certified

We Take Safety And Accommodating Your
Needs Seriously Across The Board


When you need to have your automotive glass serviced in Delmarva, you likely don’t think too much about your safety. You won’t be in the areas where the work is done, and certainly not while it’s happening.

The same goes for your home. You’re probably not really worried about safety or little considerations while your new shower door is being installed.

And it shouldn’t be your top concern.

Your installer should be looking out for you. And although you may not always see it, GoGlass takes necessary safety precautions when installing your glass.

At GoGlass, we do this. We’re a glass company in the Delmarva Peninsula offering exceptional glass services, including residential, commercial, and automotive, prioritizing safety and exceeding your expectations.

Our Auto Glass Safety Council Certification

Currently, GoGlass is the only company in our service area that is Auto Glass Safety Council certified.

As mentioned earlier, you won’t be there while your new windshield is installed. However, that’s not why and when it matters. How we install your automotive glass has ramifications that affect your safety long after you drive away from our shop.

Everything from the seal of your windshield to its calibration can be affected by what’s done during the installation. And while glass is a niche industry, we’re continuously improving our craft.

Specific standards must be met for the installation per the certification safety guidelines.

What that means for you is that we will go the extra mile to ensure that our installations reach the high standard we set for our work.

Training

All of our automotive technicians have Auto Glass Safety Council certification, which we require. It’s an extra step, but it matters.

They’re trained on extra safety standards and skills that improve their installations and deliver better results for you.

Shop Standards

We also have to submit our shop for inspection for this safety certification. It must meet certain specifications.

One of those specifications is having a climate-controlled shop. This is necessary for windshield calibration, an essential part of windshield installation. Without a climate-controlled shop, accuracy could be lower, negatively affecting performance and safety.

The next time you’re tempted to have a company come to you for a windshield, remember what’s necessary for proper windshield installation and calibration.

It’s a crucial component and a standard by which we operate.

Another important standard is the size of the shop itself. It has to be large enough to accommodate larger vehicles and provide space for work.

These shop requirements are also pivotal to your vehicle being serviced at the level it should be.


Accommodations With Other Glass Services

The automotive side of glass services isn’t the only place where safety matters. We make accommodations for all of our clients. We do so with window replacements, shower door installations, and everything in between.

We handle all of the disposal of the old glass. It’s something any glass company should do, but you never know. We, however, don’t want you to deal with it, so we will take care of it for you.

And safety extends to our technicians as well.

They wear gloves and have all the necessary safety gear to carry and care for glass. The last thing we want is a preventable injury happening in your home.

We aim to deliver excellent glass services safely, so we always take the appropriate steps.

Other minor accommodations and considerations we make include our technicians wearing shoe covers when it rains so they don’t traffic mud or water into your home.

We also focus on being courteous, friendly, and communicative. And we try to be as accommodating as possible with scheduling. We live to provide outstanding results and an excellent customer experience.

So, if you need a windshield replacement or other glass services in the Delmarva Peninsula and want a glass company that takes safety (and you) seriously, contact GoGlass to schedule an estimate.

FAQ - Year-Round Window and Door Care

Why is seasonal home glass care important?

Seasonal home glass care helps protect windows and doors from temperature changes, moisture, and everyday wear. Regular inspections and maintenance help stop seal failure, drafts, and condensation. They also prevent costly repairs. This work improves energy efficiency and comfort all year long.

How often should windows and doors be inspected?

Windows and doors should be inspected at least twice a year, ideally in spring and fall. Seasonal inspections allow homeowners to identify cracked glass, failing seals, damaged weatherstripping, and operational issues before extreme weather causes further damage.

What are signs that window glass needs repair or replacement?

Common signs include fogging between panes, visible cracks or chips, drafts, increased energy bills, and difficulty opening or closing windows or doors. These issues often indicate seal failure or structural damage that requires professional window glass repair or replacement.

How do energy-efficient windows help during summer and winter?

Energy-efficient windows and doors regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer. In summer, they block UV rays and heat gain; in winter, they help retain warmth. This improves comfort, protects interiors, and lowers heating and cooling costs year-round.

When should I call a professional glass company instead of DIY fixes?

Professional service is recommended when dealing with cracked glass, fogged insulated units, misaligned doors, storm damage, or persistent drafts. Experts ensure proper measurements, safe installation, and long-lasting performance that DIY repairs can’t guarantee.
