HISTORY & OWNER

Glass Doctor^® of Dallas Metroplex can trace its humble roots back to May 2003, when Larry Patterson, President and majority shareholder, set out to create the best glass service company in the world.

Patterson was born in Dallas, TX and attended Lee High School in Houston, TX. He graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1993 and worked in the commercial construction part of the glass industry for ten years before he decided to start Glass Doctor of Dallas Metroplex. When asked why he decided to start his own company, Patterson said it was because he “was not happy with the quality of service in the glass service industry.” While many builders often try to lower costs by cutting corners, Glass Doctor of Dallas Metroplex strives to give customers the best value for the price without downgrading the quality of service or product.
