Our Story: A Family Legacy of Excellence
Glen Reen, founder of New Wave Home Improvement, is a seasoned professional with over 20 years in the home remodeling industry and a unique background as a professional race car driver. Known for his skill and dedication on the track, Glen has competed part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, as well as in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and ARCA Menards Series East. This experience has honed his focus, precision, and commitment—qualities he now brings to New Wave, where he leads a team driven to set a new standard in home remodeling.
Glen’s journey in construction began right after high school, working hands-on in building and remodeling across Massachusetts and Connecticut. Over two decades, he developed a deep understanding of the trade and saw firsthand the need for a customer-first approach in remodeling. With his racing discipline and his passion for transparency, Glen founded New Wave to give homeowners a trusted partner who values integrity and quality above all else. Just as on the racetrack, he’s dedicated to delivering high-performance results—every time.
“New Wave is a great company to work with! The owner, Glen, showed up on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was dreading the typical sales pitch and couldn’t have been more relieved that it never happened. He went over so many options I didn’t even know existed. I am so excited for my new shower!”

“We couldn't be more pleased with our shower install by New Wave...
Glen and his crew (Eddie and Larry) were great! Professional and friendly and from beginning to completion handled all aspects of the job efficiently. We were happy with our affordable quote and never felt a "sales pitch pressure" at all. We are happy to recommend the New Wave crew for your next home improvement project!

“I can’t thank New wave and Glen enough. I had a leak in my shower and i called numerous companies and no one would even think about helping me same day other than new wave. I am so glad all those other companies blew me off because I could not be happier with the results i got. Glen was professional prompt and really cared about the result of my shower. I will tell everyone i know to call New Wave for anything they need. I LOVE showering in my new shower it makes the morning just that much nicer.”

“When we started looking at our bathroom remodel project, we wanted a smaller local company to do the job. We got quotes from a couple other companies, and felt comfortable with NewWave Home Improvement. Glen was easy to talk to, very thorough. He answered all of our questions, and showed us options to get us to satisfying result. He and his crew did a quality installation, from start to finish. I would recommend New Wave for your bath remodel .”
