Nicolet Glass Center: Celebrating 50 Years of Trusted Glass Expertise in Redding, California

In 2026, Nicolet Glass Center proudly celebrates 50 years of serving Redding and the greater Northern California community. Five decades in business isn’t an accident. It’s earned — one windshield, one customer, one job done the right way at a time.

Since opening its doors in 1976, Nicolet Glass has grown alongside Redding itself. Through changing vehicles, evolving building styles, new safety standards, and decades of technological advancement, one thing has remained constant: a commitment to doing glass work the right way — never the easy way.

Today, Nicolet Glass Center stands as one of the most experienced, trusted, and technically advanced glass companies in the region. From windshield replacement and auto glass repair to RV glass, commercial storefronts, residential windows, and custom glass showers, Nicolet Glass is the clear choice when quality, safety, and long-term performance matter.

50 Years in Redding: Built on Trust, Not Shortcuts

Redding has changed dramatically over the last 50 years — but Nicolet Glass has remained a constant. Family vehicles, work trucks, RVs, commercial buildings, and homes throughout the area all carry a quiet signature of Nicolet’s craftsmanship.

That longevity matters.

Anyone can advertise glass replacement. Very few businesses can point to five decades of continuous service, thousands of completed installations, and generations of returning customers. Nicolet Glass didn’t just survive for 50 years — it earned its place as a trusted local authority by doing what others wouldn’t: putting safety, precision, and integrity first.

Windshield Replacement Done the Right Way (Because Safety Isn’t Optional)

Windshield replacement is not cosmetic. It is structural and safety-critical.

Modern windshields are a vital part of a vehicle’s safety system. They support airbag deployment, roof strength in rollovers, and occupant protection during collisions. When a windshield isn’t installed correctly, the consequences can be serious — even fatal.

The Nicolet Glass Difference: Premium Adhesive, Proper Cure, Zero Compromise

One of the most important — and most overlooked — aspects of windshield replacement is the adhesive.

Many auto glass shops use lower-grade urethane adhesives that require 12–24 hours of cure time. Customers are often allowed to drive away before the windshield is fully bonded. That’s why you’ll see blue painter’s tape across windshields — a visible sign the adhesive is still curing.

Nicolet Glass does not operate that way.

Nicolet Glass uses the highest-grade windshield adhesive available, engineered for:

• Immediate structural bonding
• OEM-level safety performance
• Proper airbag deployment support
• Long-term durability in heat, cold, and vibration

When you pick up your vehicle from Nicolet Glass, the adhesive is already cured.
No blue tape.
No waiting.
No driving around with a windshield that isn’t fully bonded.

This isn’t about speed — it’s about doing the job correctly.

When It ABSOLUTELY Has to Be Done Right

Anyone can replace glass. Not everyone understands safety engineering.

Nicolet Glass technicians are trained to:

• Prepare bonding surfaces properly
• Use correct primers and application techniques
• Maintain factory specifications
• Ensure safe drive-away time is met — not guessed

If you’re transporting family, driving for work, or simply refuse to gamble with safety, Nicolet Glass is the professional solution.

Auto Glass Services Beyond Windshields

While windshield replacement is a cornerstone service, Nicolet Glass provides complete auto glass solutions, including:

• Door glass replacement
• Back glass and rear window replacement
• Quarter glass

Every service is performed with the same philosophy: no shortcuts, no compromises.

RV Glass Repair & Replacement: Experience That Matters

RV glass is a specialized field. Large windshields, curved glass, specialty seals, and structural considerations demand experience and precision.

Nicolet Glass has decades of experience working with:

• Motorhomes
• Travel trailers
• Fifth wheels
• Fleet and recreational vehicles

Improper RV glass installation can lead to:

• Water intrusion
• Wind noise
• Structural stress cracks
• Expensive repeat repairs

With Nicolet Glass, RV owners know the job will be done correctly the first time.

Commercial Glass: Protecting Businesses Across Redding

From small storefronts to larger commercial facilities, Nicolet Glass has been helping Redding businesses stay functional, professional, and secure for decades.

Commercial services include:

• Storefront glass
• Entry doors
• Office partitions
• Safety glass
• Emergency glass replacement

Business owners trust Nicolet Glass because downtime is costly — and mistakes cost more.

Residential Glass: Function, Beauty, and Precision

Homes throughout Redding reflect Nicolet Glass craftsmanship in subtle but important ways:

• Windows
• Sliding glass doors
• Mirrors
• Custom residential glass solutions

Every installation is measured precisely, installed cleanly, and built to last.

Custom Glass Showers: Where Craftsmanship Truly Shows

Few things elevate a bathroom like a custom glass shower enclosure — and this is where Nicolet Glass truly shines.

Custom shower glass requires:

• Perfect measurements
• Clean edges
• Proper hardware alignment
• Flawless installation

Nicolet Glass designs and installs stunning custom glass showers that combine beauty with durability. Frameless, semi-frameless, modern, or classic — each project is tailored to the space and the homeowner’s vision.

This isn’t mass-produced glass. It’s craftsmanship.

Why Nicolet Glass Is the Obvious Choice in Redding

After 50 years, the answer is simple:

• Proven experience
• Local roots
• Uncompromising safety standards
• Premium materials
• Skilled technicians
• Long-term accountability

Nicolet Glass isn’t trying to be the cheapest option. It’s focused on being the right option — especially when safety, longevity, and quality matter.

Looking Ahead: The Next 50 Years

As Nicolet Glass celebrates its 50th anniversary, the mission remains unchanged:

Do the work right. Protect customers. Deliver quality that lasts.

Technology will continue to evolve. Vehicles will change. Buildings will change. But Nicolet Glass will continue doing what it has done since 1976 — serving Redding with integrity, precision, and pride.
