'Glass Doctor' brings new life to heirlooms (continued)

Much of his business comes from people looking to restore a family heirloom.

"We are looking for someone who has something of sentimental value up in the cupboard," Montano said.

He has restored about 200,000 assorted pieces over the years.

"You see a little bit of everything in this business," Montano said.

His wife, Jan, 50, travels with him, helping customers while he works with the glass.

The personal interaction is what she appreciates most.

"We have met some great people," she said.

Jan Montano said the couple drive about 50,000 miles each year for work.

"We go where the business is," she said.

The Montanos also offer repair services through their Web site, attracting about 10 customers each week.

"I can't believe the amount of Internet business we get from around the world," he said.

Even though Wayne Montano never intended to enter the glass repair business, he is pleased with his job.

I don't think I could have picked a better occupation."
