One-of-a-kind creations, just for you.

“Tico Tech is one of the happier memories in my grueling home remodel. The mirrors and doors that they created are incredibly beautiful and continue to give me joy. However, what makes Tico Tech special are Janet and Rafael, two of the most gracious and ethical individuals you will ever encounter. I cannot praise them enough!”

"It's so rare to find the real gems in their specialty and Tico Tech raises the bar when it comes to antique glass repair. Their customer service and responsiveness are outstanding and their work speaks for itself. Clearly, they are able to do large full-scale restorations but they won't turn their backs on the small ones, and that speaks more about the character and values of this company. They were very fair in their assessment and pricing and extremely straightforward. I highly recommend Tico Tech. I hope I don't break another glass display case, but if did, Rafael and his team would do the job right."

"Recently, I had a large stained glass picture window, skylight and other leaded glass windows that were in dire need of repair. Rafael was very professional, attentive and timely. He took great care for his work and provided much needed recommendations for maintenance and upkeep. The windows are 85 years old, so his skilled work and expertise were much appreciated! On top of all of this, his kindness and fair price were outstanding. I wish I had more windows that required repair because I'd happily hire Tico Tech again."

“I would like to thank you for the great response and creative ideas complementing our Interior Design projects. You always come up with a creative way to complete our designs and once the exact solution is decided upon, the work is accomplished with very professional installers. Your expertise has made our clients very happy and is a great compliment to our design projects. We look forward to working with you on many more projects.”

"Recently needed the original leaded glass windows in our craftsman home re-glazed. The windows needed a lot of TLC and the team from Tico Tech did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail and artisnal and thoughtful approach is very much welcome!!! Their workmanship is first rate and their charges are very fair."

"My home is a classic Californian bungalow. I decided to remodel my home and hired an amazing General Contractor. I wanted to restore my original glass lead windows and he suggested we get a bid from Tico Tech. I went to the Pasadena Showcase house to see their work and I was sold. Amazing craftsmanship if you are looking to restore original windows with like kind."

"An intuitive, inventive artist and skilled craftsman, Rafael Calvo at Tico Tech perceives the movement and potential in stained glass to create art. A joy to work with, he established an easy, fun, collaborative process of design conception, initial drawings, and glass selection. His gifts as a glass cutter shine in the beautiful panel of blooming irises he and Tico Tech fashioned. It perfectly captures all I hoped for. The delicate flowers are alive with vibrancy; the light in the cloud-streaked sky shifts during the day — an effect of his glass choice and masterful incising of the continuous background from a single sheet. This shimmering, vivid, nuanced piece embodies each element of our conversations, from my first exploratory call to its delivery and installation. I could not have asked for a better experience, and the outcome is a treasure."

“Not only do my clients and I enjoy working with Janet and Rafael, their creative input in any given project always produces greater-than-anticipated results. I highly recommend Tico Tech for any project requiring decorative glass.”

“Tico Tech has made 11 windows for us with 6 distinctly different designs. Every window is perfectly suited to its location and they are stunning. Everyone who visits our house comments on how beautiful they are. It is so hard to choose a favorite. I always say my favorite is the one in whichever room I am in! Rafael and Janet completely understood the vision we were trying to create. Working with them was exceptionally easy, they took the time to go over every detail of each window to be sure it was exactly what we wanted. We have 4 more windows to go to finish our house and I can’t wait to see how fabulous they will be.”

“Rafael is extremely creative with handmade decorative glass pieces, windows, and mirror. Janet provides excellent backup and is extremely organized with projects. Together, as the company Tico Tech, they provide a wonderful service for designers like myself who desire superlative custom glass work for clients. I have worked with both of them on projects and have always been delighted with the outcome.”

“I love working with Janet and Rafael. They are both so creative and they bounce off my creativity and create amazing things. They are an incredible team together, very creative and meticulous in the details. I know that if they are on the job, I don’t have to worry about it, and the results are always stunning. I have used them in many different applications and they have always done a great job. I always say, my job isn’t done till it has a piece of them in it, they truly are the icing on the cake.”

“We cannot begin to say enough good things about Janet and Rafael Calvo, the creative duo behind Tico Tech. They transformed our entry from a solid front door with nondescript sidelights to a stained glass masterpiece that opened up the front of our home bringing the outside in for us. Their collaborative design brought in light and captured aspects of both our garden and walkway which we can now enjoy from the inside as well. Not only do we love what they did for us but we enjoyed working with them as a team and appreciated their professionalism and enthusiastic approach to our project.”
