Residential Glass Replacement
We specialize in replacing broken window glass, door glass, and failed insulated glass units for homeowners. Our technicians repair existing frames while installing new tempered or laminated safety glass. Services include custom mirrors, fireplace glass replacements, and security screens, with same-day options available for minor repairs. All work includes a one-year workmanship warranty.
Commercial Glass Services
Our contract glazing division handles storefront installations, mall fronts, and institutional glass projects. We provide fire-rated entrances, bullet-resistant systems, and low-rise curtainwall replacements. Serving property managers and construction firms, we ensure compliance with safety codes while maintaining aesthetic integrity for retail, healthcare, and educational facilities across Connecticut.
Security Glazing Systems
We install forced-entry resistant systems, bullet-resistant glass, and security screens for high-risk environments. These solutions protect banks, government buildings, and commercial properties while maintaining visibility and design aesthetics. Our security glazing meets rigorous industry standards for impact resistance and durability in both new and retrofit applications.
Insulated Glass Replacement
We replace fogged or failed insulated glass units without requiring full window replacement. Using advanced sealing techniques, we install energy-efficient IG units in various thicknesses and tints. This service restores thermal performance and visibility while extending the lifespan of existing window frames in residential and commercial buildings.

Our aluminum framing solutions include storefront systems, entrance installations, and curtainwall replacements. We work directly with architects and contractors to meet project specifications for new construction or renovations. These systems combine modern aesthetics with structural integrity for retail spaces, office buildings, and institutional facilities.
