Howells Glass
Over the years, the business grew as son Robert R. Howells specialized in contract glazing, aluminum storefronts, doors, and windows. In 1979, an arson-related fire destroyed the entire rear shop and company vehicles. Because of the Howells' spirit, fortitude, and commitment to the community, the shop was completely rebuilt in less than three months.

With over 20 full and part-time employees, Robert R. and Robert G. Howells continue to serve Lancaster and surrounding counties with quality products and experienced professional workmanship, carrying on the proud tradition begun by George W. Howells back in 1924. For contract glass, auto glass, mirrors, paint, doors, windows, and hardware, just like in 1924, "Howells will show you 'Howell' to do it right!"

All the staff here have been really friendly and the store is clean and well-organized. Prices are a bit higher than what you'd pay at a big box store, but I love being able to just run in mid-day without worrying about driving anywhere, and it's better to support local anyway!

Outside pane of my large double pane window broke, Howell's gave a replacement estimate which I accepted. They fixed it to perfection and lowered the price because it didn't take as long as they anticipated. Honesty in this day and age...amazing! If you need glass, call Howell's. These folks know what they are doing and are honest too. I won't need to play around if I need anything glass in the future, it's Howell's for me.

Needed a sheet of plexiglass to use to hook up our standing air conditioner exhaust due to casement windows. Called Howell's and Julie was incredibly friendly and helpful with a quote on estimated measurements. Went in the next morning to place the order and drop off the exhaust I needed to connect. Didn't expect the exhaust vent to snap into place on the sheet of plexiglass but they beat my expectations. It took them 3 hours before they called me to tell me it was ready and tonight I got it into place and it fits perfectly and the exhaust snaps into place. Couldn't ask for a better fit or service

Ask for a quote for a window. After about a week, I call in to inquire. Was told that the two people that did the quotes were both out the whole week. Ok, then talked to Bob and he told me he would get something to me. After about a week, I heard nothing. In the meantime, went to Lowe’s, got someone to come out, gave me a quote that day, and scheduled it for December. The installer came for the second quote the same day and moved the install date to November 12th
Really disappointed that Howells glass didn’t follow through after two promises?

They might be great at glass, but they are terrible at driving. A van with license plate ending in 8147 was driving over 80 miles per hour on 283 this morning and riding people's bumpers. Not a great idea with your business name on the van.
