Omni Completes First Ever Lighthouse Paint Project

This summer Omni Glass & Paint tackled its first ever lighthouse painting project in Door County. The Cana Island lighthouse is located just north of Baileys Harbor.

There were several logistical issues as the lighthouse is built on an island that has been connected to the mainland by a narrow dirt path. The lighthouse also remained open to the public throughout the renovation project. Along with that, there were very stringent preparation means and methods specified to retain the historic elements of the lighthouse. A 125-foot boom lift was used to access most of the tower. The project took 4 months to complete. Project Manager Jon Stradel said that sitting out on an island in Lake Michigan made it a unique setting for the project.

Omni painted the entire lighthouse and the trim on the keeper’s house. 

The 8.7-acre island includes the 89-foot tall light tower, the original home of the lighthouse keeper and his family, and the oil house where the fuel for the light was stored.  The highlight of any Cana Island visit is climbing the 97 steps of the tower’s spiral staircase to reach the gallery deck.

One of Door County’s most popular lighthouses, the Cana Island Lighthouse, has been standing watch on the shore of Lake Michigan for more than 140 years.

My recent experience with Omni Glass & Paint was fantastic. I had been waiting 3 months for a part for our front door from another glass company in Oshkosh. I reached out to Omni Glass & Paint; they came to look at the door, found the part and installed the part in less than a day. The door works perfect now. I was so impressed with Omni’s work and would highly recommend them to anyone. – Matt Bakalars, Fox Valley Savings Bank

Mark and Jeff installed windows in our home in Oshkosh.  We were extremely happy with their work but more than that, they went above and beyond to install those windows and were extremely friendly and informative along the way.  They even found an issue with rotten wood that the workers who installed our siding just covered up…so we are very grateful. Because of their services we would highly recommend Omni Glass to everyone.  And the windows are outstanding too!   ~ Roxanne D. – Oshkosh, WI

I just called to compliment the man who installed my new shower door.  Jeff was very pleasant, he did an AWESOME job, everything is perfect, and he left the place neater than when he arrived!  Everything lines up, everything fits, nothing leaks! I am so happy with the job he did!   ~ Nancy, Oshkosh, WI

I just wanted to congratulate the great crew we had working at my home, they were fantastic.  I am very, very pleased with their knowledge and abilities, they were the most impressive group of people I have ever worked with. Mark was especially helpful, he was absolutely wonderful to work with.
