O&P Glass

What O&P Glass does

O&P Glass (legal name: Oakes and Parkhurst Glass) is a family-owned, private glazing company headquartered at 140 Capitol St., Augusta, Maine, founded in 1978 by Alan Oakes and Richard Parkhurst in Winslow, Maine. The company manufactures, sells, and installs glass products across six service categories: auto glass (windshield replacement and repair, side mirrors, and ADAS calibration), commercial glass (curtainwall systems, storefronts, entrance packages, glass railings, fire-rated and security glazing, skylights), residential products (new construction and replacement windows, double-pane insulated glass, entry doors, screen and storm doors), custom shower enclosures (with an online step-by-step Custom Shower Builder tool), custom mirrors, and plastics (polycarbonate/Lexan and acrylic). It offers two proprietary protective coatings — ShowerGuard™ (permanent bonded surface with Limited Lifetime Warranty) and Diamon-Fusion® (hydrophobic molecular barrier with lifetime warranty) — as add-on treatments for shower glass.

The business operates on a quote-based, project-by-project transactional revenue model. Auto glass services are concentrated at the Augusta facility (customers bring vehicles to the shop, with no mobile auto service). Custom shower quoting is available within a 120-mile radius of Augusta. Commercial work is sourced through direct project bidding across Maine. GTM motion is sales-led: direct phone, email, and walk-in contact, supported by a company website, a Facebook page, and a public project portfolio. Customers span individual vehicle owners, residential homeowners, builders and contractors, commercial property managers, hospitality operators, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and government/military entities. Ownership transferred in 2023 to Joe Bedard (Vice President) and Soo Parkhurst (President), ending the founder-family controlling interest. The company employs 11–50 staff and serves Maine as its primary operating geography, with no disclosed revenue or external funding.

Direct peers

• Glass Doctor: Franchised full-service glass company providing residential, auto, and commercial glass repair and replacement. Closely mirrors O&P's multi-segment service model and competes head-to-head in regional markets across Maine and New England.
• Novus Glass: Franchised windshield repair and replacement network with mobile service capability. Directly competes with O&P's auto glass business and, like Safelite, offers on-site convenience O&P does not.
• Safelite Group: Largest U.S. auto glass replacement company, offering mobile windshield repair, ADAS calibration, and direct insurance billing nationwide. Directly competes with O&P's Auto Glass service line and benefits from insurance-carrier steering that O&P's shop-only model cannot match.

Broad incumbents

• Apogee Enterprises: Public company whose subsidiaries (Viracon, Harmon, EFCO, Tubelite) deliver architectural glass, curtainwall, and commercial glazing systems across North America. A broad incumbent in the same commercial glazing space O&P serves, with significantly larger scale.
• Cardinal Glass Industries: One of North America's largest manufacturers of architectural and residential glass, including low-E coated and insulated glass units. Comparable to O&P as a fabricator/installer of glass products, though at vastly greater scale as an upstream supplier.
• Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solutions: Fabricator and distributor of architectural aluminum and glass products serving commercial and residential markets. Overlaps with O&P on insulated glass units, storefront systems, and architectural glazing.
• Vitro Architectural Glass: Major North American architectural glass manufacturer producing flat, coated, and specialty glass for commercial facades. Adjacent comparison to O&P on the materials side of the commercial glazing value chain.
• PGT Innovations: Manufacturer and installer of impact-resistant windows, doors, and architectural glass systems. Overlaps with O&P's residential window/door and commercial entrance business, particularly in coastal markets.
• Belron: Global parent of Safelite and LYNX Services, operating the world's largest vehicle glass repair network. A broad incumbent whose U.S. operations directly overlap O&P's auto glass segment through insurance-channel relationships.

Regional players

• Maine Glass & Mirror: Regional Maine-based glass and mirror company offering custom shower enclosures, mirrors, and residential/commercial glass. Closest geographic peer to O&P and likely head-to-head competitor in central and southern Maine.
