Tinker Glass Contractors, Inc. was proud to collaborate with W.L. Butler on the stunning new Vallarta Supermarket in Rancho Cucamonga.
This vibrant new space blends upscale design, bold color, and craftsmanship to create an unforgettable customer experience. Our team provided and installed the interior glass elements that help bring the vision to life.
Our scope included reeded glass, courtesy of Glasswerks, featured in the canopies and signage above the puestos and meat department. Ideal Glass Tinting, Inc. applied the custom film finishes that transformed the glass with rich colors and striking patterns throughout the store.
We also installed the bullet-resistant glass for the bank booth at the front of the store, provided by Total Security Solutions.
From concept to completion, this project is a true showcase of collaboration, creativity, and quality craftsmanship. The interior is nothing short of a work of art — and we’re honored to have been part of it.
If you’re in the area, stop by and experience it for yourself!

Project Completed: Jersey Industrial Complex, Rancho Cucamonga.
150,000 SF. New Construction Tilt-up

Tinker Glass Contractors, Inc. delivered the glazing scope in partnership with Arcadia (storefront systems) and GLASSWERKS (vision glass + spandrel). Thank you to Gagnier Construction Co. for trusting us with this project.

But the real impact goes beyond the glass.

During construction, one of our glaziers stepped up—earning his role as leadman. Troubleshooting in the field, driving quality, coordinating with project managers, and owning results.

That’s the standard.

At Tinker Glass Contractors, Inc., we build projects—and we build people. Growth isn’t optional. It’s the expectation.

We’re excited to share another completed project at Victoria Gardens! 🥪✨

Tinker Glass Contractors recently finished the tenant improvement for the new Mendocino Farms location. Our scope included modifying an existing curtainwall opening to install new entry doors.

The most rewarding challenge was reconciling the different interior and exterior floor elevations to create an ADA-compliant entry that is both functional and welcoming.

Proud to help bring this fresh new dining spot to life!

When we sit down with glaziers, we love to ask: “What got you into glazing?”
Almost every time, the answer is the same: family.

For us, that story begins nearly a century ago.
In the 1920s, John S. Tinker took a job with Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company—what we know today as PPG. He started as a salesman and later became a plant manager. At the time, PPG was a leader in plate glass manufacturing before eventually selling its glass division to Vitro.

John’s son, Syl, chose to follow a different path with glass. He became a glazier and moved west to California, where he built a life and a trade. He passed on a simple piece of advice to his own son, Joe: “Learn a trade. Have something to fall back on.”

Joe took that advice to heart. What started as a fallback became a lifelong calling. Forty-five years later, he’s still in the trade—and still honoring the family tradition.

In 2004, Tinker Glass Contractors, Inc. was born. And every day, we like to think John and Syl would be proud of what their legacy has grown into.

So now we’ll ask you: What’s your story? How did you find your way into this trade?
