REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR

Commercial glass replacement and repair

Broken storefront glass, a fogged window or a door that will not close are problems a business needs fixed quickly. We replace and repair commercial glass and doors, and we plan replacements into tenant improvements when the timing makes sense.

Home / Commercial Glass Replacement and Repair

KEEPING THE SPACE OPEN

Replacing and repairing glass without closing the business

Commercial glass fails in a few predictable ways: breakage from impact or vandalism, insulated units whose seals fail and fog up, and doors whose hardware wears out from heavy use.

Broken glass is usually made safe the same day, then permanently replaced once the right glass is cut or tempered to size. Failed insulated units and worn hardware can be scheduled around business hours.

A tenant improvement is often the right moment to replace aging glass and hardware, because the space is already disrupted and the new work can be matched in one visit.

Common repairs

Broken storefront or door glass
Fogged or failed insulated glass units
Door closers, pivots and locks

Replacing damaged interior glass panels and adjusting interior glass doors.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Replacement and repair questions

If your question is not here, call and ask for an estimator.

How quickly can broken storefront glass be replaced?

The opening can usually be made safe quickly. Permanent replacement depends on how fast the correct glass can be cut or tempered, which varies with the glass type.

Why is our window foggy between the panes?

The seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. Replacing the unit fixes it without replacing the frame.

Can you upgrade to security glass when replacing?

Yes. Laminated glass can often be fitted in the same framing to resist break-ins.

Do you repair door closers?

Yes, along with pivots, locks and panic hardware.

Can repairs be done after hours?

Yes. Storefront replacements are often scheduled outside business hours.
