Trout Glass & Mirror Inc. is a family-owned glass company founded in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Mike Trout. With over 45 years of experience, the company specializes in designing and installing glass and mirror solutions for both residential and commercial clients. Initially established in Hobart, Indiana, Trout Glass & Mirror soon recognized growth potential and relocated to Chesterton, eventually moving to a new, expanded facility in Valparaiso in 2017. The company has built a strong reputation in Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicagoland area, providing high-quality glass services to general contractors and individual homeowners alike.
Approximately 80% of their business involves commercial projects, with significant contributions from local contractors and numerous notable clientele, including major retail chains and large banks. They have completed a variety of high-profile installations, including shower doors for hotels, custom mirrors, and glass products for residential homes. Trout Glass & Mirror's product offerings cover a wide range, including glass furniture tops, replacement windows, patio doors, tub and shower enclosures, and much more. Notably, the company does not work with automotive glass or stained glass.
The company prides itself on being an integral part of the community, with both owners actively engaging in local civic and charitable efforts. Jeff and Mike Trout extend their commitment beyond business, with involvement in town councils, school boards, and youth sports, helping to nurture and strengthen their community ties. With a dedicated team of around 40 employees, many of whom have been with the company for over 25 years, Trout Glass & Mirror continues to thrive as a trusted source for glass solutions in the region. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service sets them apart as a premier glass company.
