THE ROCK Glass & Mirror Co.
is an independent glass shop in located in Flagstaff, Arizona. Owner and certified glazier, Damon Cundiff began his career in the glass business over twenty-eight years ago.
His humble beginning in the glass business started with washing glass trucks, repairing screens, and delivering windows. The next nine years were dedicated to training to become a residential and commercial certified glazier.
Eventually, Damon began working for the largest window manufacturer on the west coast, where he trained others to become certified glaziers.
It is important to hire a certified glazier for your glass work to ensure a quality job. It takes about four years for a apprentice to complete on-the-job training and schooling to advance to a journeyman. It then takes about two more years for a journeyman to become qualified to apply for glazier certification.
In 1998, Damon started THE ROCK Glass & Mirror Company. The name stems from his value in integrity, and his intention to run a company with that same notion. You may have heard the phrases, “solid as a rock”. The figurative definition of ROCK is solid, sound, reliable, a good person, someone who is good to others, able to count on, dependable, of integrity.
During Damon’s years of installing glass on construction sites, he recalls hearing common
industry sayings exemplifying inferior work, such as “caulk and paint for what we aint” or “looks good from my house!”. As he heard these sayings uttered, he always thought to himself, “Would it be alright if your customer heard you say that?” Obviously, NO! Ultimately, this prompted Damon to operate THE ROCK Glass & Mirror Company
with a much different motto:
"Good enough,
isn’t even close."
