This Is My Community
I'm Cole Watson, a 4th generation Idaho native and 3rd generation glazier. This isn't just a business to me—it's my craft, my heritage, and my way of serving the community where my family has deep roots.
I've been around glass my entire life. I have photos of myself at 5 years old on job sites with my dad, setting glass in commercial buildings downtown Boise. At 14, I installed my first window in a remodel with him. At 40, I've got 26 years of hands-on experience and knowledge passed down through three generations.
Learning From the Best
My grandfather and father were both union-trained journeymen glaziers. Back when Idaho had a glaziers union, they spent years as apprentices, learning the craft the right way—following proper standards, understanding building science, and mastering techniques that most contractors today don't even know exist.
That training doesn't happen anymore. The union is gone. Idaho's deregulation means anyone with an LLC can call themselves a window installer. But I was raised by men who knew their craft inside and out, and that knowledge is irreplaceable.
Why I Do This
I love the instant gratification of a job well done. Walking away from a customer's home and hearing them say, "Wow, it just looks so good"—that never gets old. Whether it's replacing old aluminum windows and dramatically improving a home's curb appeal, or responding to an emergency at 2 AM in negative-degree weather, I'm here to help.
But it's deeper than that. I want to see the people in my community get quality products with proper installation at fair prices. I've seen too many homeowners get burned by cheap installations that cause catastrophic water damage years later. Your home deserves better than that.
