F or nearly three decades, Mirror Craf ters Inc. has provided designer glass, mirror products and custom glass shower enclosures from its Baltimore, MD, location. In 1992, the company moved into the Staf ford Street business community with a handful of employees and “one old pick-up truck with a makeshif t rack to deliver our work,” said Michael Quinn, owner and treasurer.

“This creates a brighter workspace and gives better viewing of our markings when working at our large cutting and fabrication tables,” explained Quinn. The company’s sandblast room, where employees etch glass and mirrors for its residential and consumer client base, needs ample lighting for a safe and efficient workspace during production. Mirror Crafters Inc. also asked

St. John Properties to raise the height of the garage door to allow for boom truck deliveries, giving the site both a loading dock and drive-in garage doors. Providing ample space for loading and unloading these potentially large, fragile products is essential for a smooth production process from design to delivery. St. John Properties’ ability to meet its clients’ needs, combined with the affordable rent, are just two of the reasons Mirror Crafters Inc. has spent the past 29 years in this space. “We have also enjoyed working with our property managers to improve working conditions across the business park,” said Quinn. Whether a dance studio needs new floor-to- ceiling mirrors, or a homeowner is reimagining their shower design, Mirror Crafters Inc. has the tools and expertise. With the right efficiency tools and the peace of mind from stable leasing terms and flexible, customized service from the St. John Properties team, it comes as no surprise that Mirror Crafters Inc. has been a longtime client.

Less than 10 years later, Mirror Crafters Inc. doubled its square footage within the Stafford Street business community. The company had expanded to eight employees, and today runs five trucks through a long backlog for installations and deliveries. The staff at Mirror Crafters Inc. offers customers almost 80 years of combined experience, skills and knowledge in glass and mirror construction and interior design, and works directly with them to design personalized pieces, or standard sizes, for their homes or commercial spaces. The sleek shower designs include a variety of shower and tub enclosures, rolling barn shower doors, and glass tub and shower covers. They also offer custom mirrors, including beveled and decorative mirrors, tinted mirrors, kitchen backsplashes, mirrored walls, shelving, painted glass, medicine cabinets and more. More intricate designs, like etched art on doors, showers, mirrors and more, are also produced on site. Prior to moving into the larger space, Mirror Crafters Inc. had a few minor requests: The first was to paint the ceiling and roof white.
