About · Daylight Takeoffs
I started on the glass — not behind a desk.
Straight out of school I went to work as a glazier, installing stick-built and unitized curtain wall and storefront. Fifty-plus projects later, I count the same scope I used to hang.

Who I am
I learned this trade from the wall in. Before I ever measured a takeoff, I was setting mullions, glazing lites, and walking punch lists in the field. Stick curtain wall, unitized systems, storefront — I've installed it, so I know how it's drawn, how it breaks into marks, and where a plan set hides the work that wins or loses a bid.
Why I started Daylight Takeoffs
Every job I installed began as someone's count. When that count was clean, the install went smooth. When it wasn't, we ate the difference in the field. I started Daylight Takeoffs to hand glazing contractors the takeoff I always wanted to receive — every lite, frame, and door counted by mark number, with a scope and exclusions page that states exactly what's in and what's out. No drift into other trades. No surprises.
Every lite, every frame, counted by someone who's hung both.
