About Us

Glass Doctor of Raleigh opened in February 1992. Wayne Gaudette was looking to open up his own business and saw great potential in a Glass Doctor Franchise.

Wayne was born in North Conway, New Hampshire. He graduated from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts and worked at Sanders Association in New Hampshire and 26 years at Transcom Electronics in Rhode Island where he managed several manufacturing facilities. Transcom merged with Alcatel in 1998 and Wayne moved to Raleigh in 1990 when Alcatel decided to close their facilities.

After so many years in the corporate world, Wayne followed his dream and opened Glass Doctor of Raleigh.
