Shiretown Glass & Home Center

Shiretown Glass & Home Center has been on Plymouth's waterfront since 1963, when William and Beverly Hallisey opened it as Shiretown Glass and Aluminum. Six decades later it's still family-run — William Hallisey Jr. joined in 1983 and took over as general manager in 2004 — and has grown from a glass shop into a broader home-improvement outfit covering roofing, siding, windows, doors, flooring, kitchen and bath work, and sunrooms across Plymouth, the South Shore, and Cape Cod. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The reviews trace that glass-shop heritage: in a 2023 review, a commercial contractor of over 20 years called their bow-window glass replacement responsive, fair-priced and well-finished, and a 2024 review described a job matching refinished floors to an adjacent room and re-glazing a leaking glass ceiling that held through torrential rain afterward. Siding and decking get similar marks — one homeowner who had the company side their house 22 years earlier came back for a full deck rebuild and singled out manager Mark for patience and design advice on the finished azek deck. A patio slider installation and a storm-damage repair job both drew praise for the crew and office staff in more recent reviews. Not every job has gone that smoothly. In a 2023 review, a customer described slow follow-up on minor issues after a deck and porch project, a disputed dumpster charge, and a broken gutter piece that went unaddressed. Another 2023 review reported that a leaf guard installation led to water overflowing the gutters and flooding the basement, a problem the homeowner said they hadn't had before. Both are worth asking about directly if either job type is what you're hiring for. The company also holds an A+ BBB grade (not accredited) with no complaints shown there, and is a certified Hunter Douglas blinds dealer. Worth confirming current drainage/gutter warranty terms given the leaf-guard complaint, and getting a clear written scope for smaller jobs like deck repairs, where the negative review centered on responsiveness rather than the underlying work.
