Glass Company & Glass Repair in Littleton, Colorado
Glass for Littleton's historic downtown, established neighborhoods, and Highlands Ranch-adjacent builds.
Abricos Glass is based in Littleton and works here every week: glass repair and replacement in existing frames, window glass replacement including fogged and failed insulated units, commercial storefront glass on Main Street and Broadway frontage, frameless shower enclosures, and glass stair, deck and balcony railings. Every scope is field-measured before glass is ordered, and the written price follows the measurement rather than preceding it.
Littleton pairs a walkable historic downtown along Main Street with established neighborhoods in Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley, and Bow Mar, and newer attached and detached product along the Highlands Ranch and Roxborough edges. Abricos Glass installs across all of it — frameless shower enclosures, glass stair and balcony railings, wine-room enclosures, interior partitions, mirrors, and storefront glass in downtown Littleton retail bays.
Our office is in Littleton, so this is the shortest drive on our map, which generally helps scheduling and site visits. Street-facing storefront changes in the historic Main Street district fall under local design review; the applicable requirements are confirmed with the City of Littleton for the specific address. On the residential side, Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley, and Bow Mar all carry active HOAs, and elevation drawings and product cut sheets can be prepared for the architectural review those associations require.
South-metro remodel work often involves 1970s and 1980s homes with bathrooms opening up for the first time — walls coming down, curbs replaced with linear drains, and 10-mm frameless enclosures replacing 3-panel framed sliders. We measure, hardware-spec, and install those enclosures to the standard the rest of the remodel deserves.
Why Littleton homeowners choose Abricos Glass
Littleton homeowners choose Abricos Glass because we're local — the shop is in Littleton — and because we treat a frameless shower enclosure or a glass stair rail as finish carpentry, not a warehouse product. We install across Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, Southbridge, Roxborough, and the older neighborhoods around Main Street. Field measurement, precise fit, hardware you'll still like in ten years.
What Abricos Glass brings to Littleton projects
Downtown Littleton retail, medical-office along Broadway, and light commercial along Santa Fe are typical of the commercial work we quote here: storefront replacement, interior office glazing, retail glass partitions, and glass railings on multifamily. Historic Main Street storefronts may be subject to local design review, which is confirmed with the city before the scope is finalized.
Local considerations we design around.
Elevation 5,351 ft. Site conditions in Littleton are reviewed before glass and hardware are specified.
Historic Main Street storefronts
Downtown Littleton's historic district applies design review to street-facing storefront replacements. We coordinate with the review process on visible frontage work.
HOA architectural review
Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley, and Bow Mar carry active HOAs. We provide the elevation drawings and cut sheets homeowners need for exterior-modification submittal.
1970s/1980s remodel tolerances
Many Littleton showers being reworked today were built with 1970s framing and 1980s tile. Field measurement to actual substrate is essential.

Glass repair and replacement in Littleton
Most Littleton repair calls come down to one of three conditions: a cracked or broken pane in an existing frame, a fogged insulated unit that has lost its seal, or a door or window that no longer operates as it should. A broken lite in a sound frame is usually replaced without replacing the frame, once the glazing pocket, existing glass thickness, edgework and any safety-glazing requirement are confirmed on site. Photographs of the full opening plus approximate dimensions are enough for us to identify the likely scope before a visit.
Window glass replacement, including failed insulated units
A fogged window is a failed seal, and the insulated unit is replaced rather than repaired. Whether the existing frame is retained depends on frame condition, unit thickness, spacer type and glazing pocket, all of which are measured before the replacement unit is ordered. At Littleton's elevation of roughly 5,350 ft, replacement units are specified with altitude in mind so the new glass behaves the way the original was intended to. Where several openings on the same elevation are involved, they are usually worth reviewing together rather than one at a time.
Commercial glass repair and storefront work
Downtown Main Street retail, medical office along Broadway and light commercial along Santa Fe make up most of our Littleton commercial scope: broken and failed storefront lites, upgraded aluminum storefront systems, entrance doors with sidelites and transoms, and interior office glazing. Street-facing changes in the historic Main Street district may be subject to local design review, which is confirmed with the City of Littleton for the specific address and scope before fabrication.
Frameless shower glass
South-metro remodels regularly open up 1970s and 1980s bathrooms for the first time — curbs replaced with linear drains, walls moved, and 10 mm frameless enclosures replacing framed sliders. The enclosure is measured after tile is set and the opening is final, because a frameless panel is cut to the built condition and not to the drawing. Backing behind the tile for hinges and header hardware needs to be planned before the walls close up.
Glass railings and guards
Interior stair and loft guards, deck guards and balcony guards are installed across Ken Caryl, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar and the newer product on the Highlands Ranch edge. The mounting system — post, standoff or base-shoe — is selected after reviewing what the glass anchors into, since guard loading is carried by the structure rather than the glass.
Service fit, limitations and what we need to quote
We are a glazing contractor: we measure, specify, coordinate supply through manufacturers and fabricators, and install. We do not fabricate, temper or laminate glass in house, and we do not produce engineering — where project-specific calculations or stamped documents are required, that requirement and its owner are named in the written proposal. Structural repairs to a deck, wall or frame that cannot carry the intended assembly are a separate scope by others. To quote Littleton work we need the address, photographs of the opening or existing condition, approximate dimensions, and for commercial projects any plans or specification section covering glass and glazing.
