You’ve read all about my writing and publishing adventures here on the blog, but you don’t often read about the other half of Five Rivers, the glass and mirror division of our wee business.

Gary, my husband and best friend of 35 years, has been a glazier most of his adult life. His favourite line is: I don’t do windows.

What Gary does do is some of the finest, fussiest glass and mirror architectural applications in South/Central Ontario. His work can be found in the elegant homes of Forest Hill, and Oakville’s lake-shore district, in the mansion cottages of the Muskoka region, as well as in the homes of ordinary folk like you and me. He has supplied and installed glass stair railings for minimalist-design lofts, ‘cracked’ glass display columns for retail stores in trendy malls, and custom-designed etched glass dividers in living spaces.

Whether it’s a folding glass wall to divide two common rooms, a tempered wall and door for a steam room, a shower enclosure, funky mirrored wall application, or glass stair railing, Gary has done it all.

If you’re a home-owner doing renovations and require a custom glass shower door, Gary can do that. If you’re a designer and need a professional craftsman to take care of your glass and mirror design needs, Gary can work with you. If you’re a contractor and require a reliable, quality contractor to fulfill your glass and mirror needs, Gary is there for you as well.

Reasonable rates. Experience and expertise. Timely and efficient. These are the hallmarks of the glass division of Five Rivers, given the personal attention of Gary Stephens.
