Novus Glass needed more space to add a few new services to its repertoire, and it didn’t need to go far to get it.

In fact, Novus Glass owner Jay Haralson merely walked a few doors down in the same commercial building at 1048 Independent Ave. to find a new home, one that’s twice as large.

After residing in Unit A-106 for about six years, Novus Glass is now in Unit A-113, which actually is two units combined, hence a doubling of space to about 3,320 square feet.

Haralson said his auto glass replacement and repair shop relocated on Nov. 15 and now has two auto bays, two offices, two bathrooms, a breakroom and a larger room up front.

“We moved here just to expand, because my son (Saylor Haralson) does window tinting, ceramic coatings, detailing, and we needed the extra bay. He needed this space to start doing it.

“We have a machine to do auto wraps and stuff like that, too.” Saylor Haralson said people are figuring out Novus Glass has more to offer, saying, “It’s been pretty busy.”

Jay Haralson added it has to be Saylor doing the work. “I don’t have the patience for it, but he does,” Jay said.
