Our History
In 1914, Joseph Sharff opened "Sharff Glass" in Canton, Ohio. Joseph grew his business and gained local respect before selling Sharff Glass to his nephew-in-law, Sam Frankel, in 1954.
​
Sam's children, Morton and Jules, as well as his son-in-law, Stanley Cowan, continued to run the family business for the next 40 years until retiring and selling the business to an employee of 29 years, Floyd Everhart.
​
Floyd renamed the company "Everhart Glass Co." and continued to build upon the legacy of the originating family. He operated the business at the building Sam built for nearly 30 years with a mission of providing quality and affordable service to Canton and surrounding communities.
​
In 2025, Everhart Glass was acquired by The R.G. Smith Company, a well-established, local contractor with over 100 years of quality service in the construction industry. The growth associated with the new partnership necessitated Everhart Glass moving to its current location where it continues operations as a full-service glass provider in the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors for Northeast Ohio and beyond.
