We specialize in precise residential glass installation including windows, mirrors, and custom glass features. Our union-trained technicians ensure perfect fit and finish for both modern and historic homes. From single pane replacements to complete window system installations, we use premium materials and follow strict safety protocols to deliver durable, energy-efficient solutions that enhance home value and aesthetics.
Commercial Mirror Installation
Our commercial mirror installation service caters to retail spaces, offices, and fitness centers. We handle large-scale projects with minimal disruption to business operations. Using advanced mounting systems and safety-backed glass, we provide durable installations that meet commercial building codes. Our team works closely with property managers to coordinate installations during off-hours when possible.
Emergency Glass Repair
We offer rapid response for broken windows and damaged glass structures. With same-day assessment and next-day repair availability, our emergency service prevents security risks and weather damage. Our technicians carry essential replacement materials and use temporary protective measures while permanent solutions are prepared, ensuring client safety throughout the process.
Antique Glass Restoration
Specializing in preserving architectural heritage, we restore original glass features in historic buildings. Our experts match obscure patterns and textures from salvaged materials when necessary. This meticulous process maintains property authenticity while improving functionality. We've successfully completed restoration projects for 1920s residences and commercial buildings with period-specific glass designs.
Storefront Glass Solutions
We design and install durable storefront glass systems that balance security with visual appeal. Our solutions include tempered glass panels, reinforced frames, and energy-efficient glazing options. The installation process minimizes business downtime through careful scheduling and prefabrication where possible. We also provide ongoing maintenance programs for commercial property owners.
