ABOUT
Vero Glass & Mirror is a family-owned business that has been providing impact-resistant windows and doors to Vero Beach and the Treasure Coast since 1944. President, Daniel Beard, his son Derek and Daughter-in-law Stephanie have assembled a team of knowledgeable and reliable personnel proficient in both commercial and residential sales and installation. Those who are not family members, are trusted long-time friends and co-workers that are considered to be like family.
We are a Florida State Licensed Glass and Glazing Contractor/Specialty Contractor (SCC131151280 / SCC131151782). We handle the entire permitting and installation process in house and do not use subcontractors. By eliminating the use of a subcontractor, you will always know exactly who is in your home. We stand behind all our work and therefore demonstrate great passion and commitment for each and every job.
