It Started with Debbie
The story started in 1989, when Debbie picked up a squeegee and taught herself how to tint windows. She got good at it — really good — and before long she was teaching her twin sister Donna and their younger sister Angie. Debbie's husband, Mike Hogan, tinted as well, and together they helped build a family legacy in window tinting.
In the 1990s, Debbie and Mike owned A Touch of Glass in Evansville, which was the place to go for window tinting back in the day. The reputation they built there, along with the pride they took in the work, helped lay the foundation for everything that came later.
The family later taught Debbie's stepson, Mike Hogan Jr., the trade, and he eventually opened Classic Shades in Evansville. Mike Jr. hired Donna to run the office, and when he decided to move on and pursue a new chapter, he sold the business to her in 2013. It was a continuation of the same family tradition that had shaped the business from the start.
Debbie and Angie worked alongside Donna, with Debbie remaining part of the team until her retirement in 2018. In 2014, Donna's son Cory stepped in to manage the day-to-day operations, and in 2021 he took over ownership. Today, Cory runs Classic Shades while Angie leads installations with the same precision, pride, and attention to detail she has brought to the craft for decades.
Now the next generation is stepping up. Ryan, Cory's son, and Izaac are learning the trade under Angie's guidance, while Donna still stops by to help pass down the knowledge and standards that built the business.
Three generations. Decades of experience. One standard of quality.
