Our History

“We don’t just build buildings; we build people.”
- Louis Spaw

In 1953, Louis Spaw and Frank Glass embarked on a journey to form their own construction company. With little more than pure determination, they committed their cars as collateral to get SpawGlass off the ground. Although they didn’t have a lot of cash on hand, they thrived on similar values of hard work, dependability, persistence and treating people right. As Louis once stated of Frank, “He was living by the same ethical standards that I was.” Those same standards and values that formed the foundation for our company are still prevalent at SpawGlass today.

The success SpawGlass has enjoyed in building landmark projects and growing our business is owed to our clients and our team members. That’s why we get to know our clients and pursue relationships with those who fit our culture and values. As Louis and Frank demonstrated, shared values make for lasting professional relationships.
