Franklin Glass Company: Over 50 Years of Doing It Right<br />
By Marjorie Turner Hollman<br />
Franklin Glass Company, at<br />
273 Beaver Street in Franklin,<br />
has focused on their core business—glass—for<br />
over fifty years,<br />
doing business here in town. A<br />
lifelong Franklin resident, owner<br />
Dave Nasuti, along with his<br />
daughter and son-in-law, Beth<br />
and Michael Razzano, all work<br />
at the company Nasuti founded<br />
in 1963. They still care deeply<br />
not only for the services the<br />
company provides to the community—they<br />
care about the<br />
people who work at Franklin<br />
Glass Company as well, many<br />
of whom can be found out back<br />
in the shop, directly behind the<br />
showroom and front office at the<br />
front of the store.<br />
Nasuti had to learn fast when<br />
the businessman he bought the<br />
company from, rather than<br />
teaching him the business, found<br />
another job and left him on his<br />
own after only two weeks. He<br />
married and became a father<br />
that same year as well. But rather<br />
than give up on the business, Nasuti<br />
kept his eyes open, worked<br />
hard and was ready to diversify<br />
when he found opportunities that<br />
worked with his business model.<br />
Auto glass, windows, and screens<br />
were the primary business when<br />
Nasuti started. “It’s always been<br />
a good business,” he said. They<br />
recently ceased their auto glass<br />
operations, but have expanded<br />
in many other related areas.<br />
When a company has been<br />
in business for over fifty years,<br />
and its employees have stayed<br />
around, several for the past thirty<br />
years, you know the business is<br />
doing something right. Enter<br />
their showroom, and you’ll begin<br />
to realize the possibilities of what<br />
Franklin Glass has to offer beyond<br />
repairs for broken windows<br />
and torn screens. You’ll find quality<br />
glass shower doors in many<br />
styles, for bathroom remodeling<br />
projects. The choices are varied,<br />
and it’s easy to visualize what<br />
your new bathroom will look<br />
like as you wander the tastefully<br />
displayed shower door options<br />
set up throughout their brightly<br />
lit show room. Mirrors of different<br />
styles are also displayed,<br />
helping provide a better idea of<br />
what your home will look like,<br />
especially helpful for those of us<br />
who have difficulty picturing the<br />
finished project. Be sure to visit<br />

While their shop is set up to<br />
quickly repair broken glass or<br />
screen windows and doors, they<br />
are also ready to help replace insulated,<br />
double-paned glass windows<br />
with broken seals that cloud<br />
up. That cloudiness is moisture,<br />
which not only affects how windows<br />
look, but also allows heat to<br />
escape from these compromised<br />
windows. “Drop off a cloudy replacement<br />
window in the morning,<br />
and in many cases, we can<br />
have the window repaired by the<br />
end of the day,” Nasuti noted.<br />
“Repairing these insulated windows<br />
has become an important<br />
part of our business.”<br />
Franklin Glass Company<br />
works with larger organizations<br />
in the area as well, providing replacement<br />
glass for broken windows<br />
in Franklin public school<br />
buildings, and other area schools.<br />
They also contract with Dean<br />
and other area colleges. Contractors<br />
use Franklin Glass Company<br />
for new construction, too.<br />
But the company has never<br />
forgotten the people who come<br />
to them for simple things—they<br />
have special screen material<br />
that will resist pets who insist on<br />
clawing through screen doors<br />
and window screens. They offer<br />
a window cleaner that all their<br />
employees use, and many of<br />
their customers return every<br />
few months simply to stock up<br />
on their special glass window<br />
cleaner. “We all use it!” Debbie<br />
Lunn, who works in the front office,<br />
noted, handing me a sample<br />
can of cleaner to try for myself.<br />
If you aren’t sure if Franklin<br />
Glass Company can help you,<br />
simply give them a call at (508)<br />
528-9550—you’ll get a real person<br />
on the phone, ready to help<br />
you. They’ve been here for a long<br />
time, and they continue to look<br />
to the future. As staff member<br />
Dawn Brown says, “We do glass,<br />
and we do it right!”<br />
