Modern Glass, Paint & Tile Company

What Modern Glass, Paint & Tile Company does

Modern Glass, Paint & Tile Company is a locally owned and operated home improvement retailer and installation services provider founded in 1951 and headquartered at 933 Linden Avenue, Zanesville, Ohio. The company operates a single brick-and-mortar storefront serving Muskingum County and surrounding areas in Southeastern Ohio. It functions as a multi-department retail operation across twelve product categories: flooring, windows & doors, wall coverings, custom framing, residential & commercial glass, gift & home décor, area rugs, shower door enclosures, window treatments & blinds, countertops, paint & paint supplies, and interior design services. Sourcing relationships with national brands such as Shaw Floors, Mohawk, Pella, Benjamin Moore, Pittsburgh Paints, Cambria, Caesarstone, and Hunter Douglas underpin the product assortment, and the company also operates a Cambria Design Gallery showroom.

The business model combines transactional product sales with attached professional installation services and interior design consulting. Customers visit the physical store to browse products, consult with expert staff, and purchase materials; the company's own skilled installation team delivers on-site installation for flooring, windows, doors, shower door enclosures, and commercial glass projects. A 24-hour emergency glass repair line is maintained. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; no e-commerce or online ordering channel exists. Revenue streams include product sales (one-time purchase) and professional services (installation and interior design consulting on a project basis).

The customer base spans DIY homeowners undertaking residential remodeling, contractors and trade professionals sourcing materials and installation for client projects, and a smaller commercial segment requiring storefront glass, commercial flooring, and interior finish upgrades. Marketing is conducted through organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), the company website, Zanesville Muskingum Chamber of Commerce membership, and the Cambria Design Gallery partnership. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no institutional investment, no public listing, and no observed M&A or fundraising activity.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Home Depot: The largest U.S. home improvement retailer. Competes with Modern Glass across flooring, paint, windows, doors, countertops, and installation — but as a broad-line big-box rather than a local expert-led store. Overlaps on product categories but not on service model or local presence.
• Lowe's: Second-largest U.S. home improvement big-box. Directly competes with Modern Glass on flooring, paint, windows, doors, and installation services in markets where Lowe's has a nearby store (including rural Ohio markets). Wider assortment and pricing power; less personalized service.
• Menards: Midwest-focused home improvement big-box with strong presence in Ohio. Comparable product breadth (flooring, paint, windows, doors, cabinets) and competes head-to-head for DIY homeowners and contractors in the same regional footprint as Modern Glass.
• Pella Corporation: National window and door manufacturer with company-owned and franchised retail showrooms. Pella is both a vendor and a competitor to Modern Glass's Windows & Doors department — homeowners can visit a Pella showroom or work with Modern Glass for comparable replacement window projects.

Direct peers

• Sherwin-Williams: National paint retailer with company-owned stores and expert color staff. Directly competes with Modern Glass's Paint & Paint Supplies department on a primary category with a similar service-led model (color consultation, contractor accounts). Both compete for the same DIY homeowner and professional painter segments.
• LL Flooring: National specialty flooring retailer (formerly Lumber Liquidators). Directly competes with Modern Glass's Flooring Department on hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile with installation services. Similar target customer (homeowners replacing flooring) but with national scale vs. local expertise.
• Ace Hardware: Cooperative of independently owned local hardware stores with multi-category home improvement assortments. Most directly comparable to Modern Glass in store format, ownership model (local owner-operators), and customer experience (personalized service vs. big-box). Often the leading alternative for small-town home improvement shoppers.

Regional players

• 84 Lumber: Regional building materials supplier with locations across the Midwest and Eastern U.S. Competes with Modern Glass for contractor business on framing, windows, doors, and flooring, but primarily serves professional builders rather than retail DIY customers.
• Carter Lumber: Regional building materials retailer with strong Ohio and Mid-Atlantic presence. Competes for contractor accounts and remodeling customers on lumber, windows, doors, and interior products, but its footprint is concentrated in larger markets rather than small Southeastern Ohio towns.

Emerging players

• Build with Ferguson (formerly Build.com): Large online retailer specializing in home improvement products (faucets, lighting, appliances, vanities, flooring) with growing installation marketplaces. Represents the digital-first competitive threat to single-location independents like Modern Glass that have no e-commerce presence.
