Three generations of family, craftsmanship, and community in Tallahassee.
In 1945, Jack Whiddon set out with a clear vision: to provide Tallahassee with the finest glass products and honest, skilled installation. Starting from a small shop on South Monroe Street, he built a reputation for quality that spread across the city.
Word traveled fast. Homeowners recommended Whiddon Glass to their neighbors. Contractors sought out the team for their precision. Businesses relied on them for storefront glass and commercial projects. By the time the next generation stepped in, the name Whiddon had become synonymous with glass craftsmanship in Tallahassee.
Today, the third generation continues that legacy — same address, same values, same commitment to doing the job right every single time.
Founder Jack Whiddon establishes Whiddon Glass Co. at 1617 S Monroe Street in Tallahassee, Florida. From day one, the shop focuses on quality glass products and careful, skilled installation for homes and businesses throughout the region.
As Tallahassee grows through the 1960s, Whiddon Glass grows with it. The team expands its services to serve the city's booming residential and commercial construction market, building relationships with contractors and builders that last generations.
The second generation of the Whiddon family takes on greater roles in the company. New product lines are added — including custom shower enclosures and specialty mirror work — reflecting evolving design trends and customer demand.
Whiddon Glass broadens its offerings to include acrylic and polycarbonate fabrication, insulated glass installation, and translucent laminated glass for interior doors. The team of long-tenured employees — many with nearly 30 years of service — continues to distinguish the company.
Three generations in, Whiddon Glass remains Tallahassee's most trusted glass company. The third generation carries on the family tradition with the same care for quality, attention to detail, and commitment to the Tallahassee community that Jack Whiddon started in 1945.

Decades of hands-on experience means we've seen it all. We bring solutions, not just products, to every project — large or small.
What sets Whiddon Glass apart isn't just the products — it's the people. Many of our team members have dedicated nearly 30 years to this company. When you call us, you're likely to speak with the same person who helped you last time. That consistency, that familiarity, that care — it's something you can only build over decades.
We are proud to serve Tallahassee as the same family-owned business that Jack Whiddon started in 1945. The faces change with time, but the values never do.
