Accurate Glass

What Accurate Glass does

Accurate Glass is a commercial glazing contractor founded in 1989 and headquartered at 814 Kay St Unit C in Addison, Illinois. The firm specializes in the glazing of commercial doors, curtain walls, storefronts, and windows, and presents itself as serving the Chicagoland metropolitan area for over 25 years. Its customer base comprises general contractors, property developers, and commercial building owners that require glazing scopes for tenant build-outs, new commercial construction, and design-build engagements. The team is small (1-10 employees), with four named key personnel: President Dan Nickels, Vice President Regan Lacher, Project Manager Joe Webb, and Office Manager Lilly Gicla.

The company operates three integrated service lines: Tenant Finish-out (fit-out projects requiring tight schedule execution), Commercial Curtain Wall and Storefront Systems (installation of window systems, curtain walls, and storefronts), and Design Build (custom window system development against project-specific performance specifications). All three are delivered as installation services — not as a software platform, framework, or licensed technology product — using conventional commercial glazing techniques. The offering is bookable via the firm website (accurateglassinc.com), phone, and email.

Accurate Glass runs a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with services scoped per engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting commercial construction prospects in the Chicagoland area, supplemented by a basic Squarespace-hosted web presence. There is no evidence of outside investment, M&A activity, public listings, partnerships, proprietary technology, or app/API/SDK offerings. The firm is privately held and is led by the founder, Dan Nickels.
