If you were glued to HGTV's hit show Fixer Upper, you likely remember Dustin Anderson. This talented Waco, Texas-based artisan was the go-to guy for all things glass when it came to Chip and Joanna Gaines' renovations. Whether it was custom windows or sleek glass doors, Dustin's craftsmanship always added that perfect finishing touch. Now, let's dive into what Dustin's been up to since the show wrapped up.
From Family Business to TV Stardom: Dustin Anderson's Journey
Dustin Anderson didn't start his career in the spotlight—he began working at his family’s glass business, Anderson Glass, when he was just in his early twenties. By 2014, he had taken over the reins after purchasing his father’s share of the company. But long before the Gaines family became household names, Dustin was already partnering with them on projects. His connection with Chip and Joanna wasn't just a stroke of luck—it was years in the making.
It all started with a simple phone call. Dustin was asked to check out some windows on a house the Gaines were flipping. The original glass company they had hired never showed up, and Dustin stepped in at the last minute. Not only did he save the day, but he also formed a lasting bond with Chip and Joanna. His professionalism and dedication quickly made him their preferred glass installer.

While appearing on Fixer Upper turned Dustin into a local celebrity in Waco, he remained incredibly humble about his newfound fame. In a 2017 interview with Gary Leland, Dustin gave a heartfelt shout-out to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the show what it was.
"There’s a ton of people behind the scenes that you never see," Dustin explained. "From my company, there were guys showing up on Saturdays to get things ready for Monday deadlines. The production crew worked just as hard. It’s a team effort, and everyone plays a role in making the show so special. And let’s not forget the artisans and talented folks like Chip and Joanna who bring everything together."
Where Is Dustin Anderson Now?
After the final season of Fixer Upper aired in 2018, Dustin didn’t slow down. He continued to grow Anderson Glass while expanding into new ventures. One of his biggest projects has been launching D1 Design Group, a company that specializes in designing logos and creating spaces for Division I sports programs. Dustin has also become a spokesperson for Glass.com, sharing his expertise on all things glass with a wider audience.
Even though the original Fixer Upper series ended, Dustin’s friendship with Chip and Joanna remains strong. In 2021, he celebrated Joanna’s birthday by posting a selfie with her on Instagram, marking 14 years of working together. A year later, he paid tribute to Chip by sharing an incredible portrait he created of his "buddy" on Twitter.
