With one truck, they sold and installed the work even doing board ups in the middle of the night. Working long hours at night while raising a young family, the Burkharts survived the recession of the early 1990s and began to build their business by providing specialized glass customization, fabricated glass systems, and installation services to a handful of loyal general contractors in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. They still serve many of those contractors today. Did you know the Key Glass phone number is their old home phone number?
