What gets built in each area, what the windows have to do there, and the buildings we have supplied.
A window supplier that knows the area saves a builder time in ways that do not show on the quote: which streets a delivery truck can reach, what the local inspectors look at, what the neighboring buildings used. We supply new construction windows across the region from our base on Staten Island. This guide covers the four areas where most of our new-building work is: Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and New Jersey.
Brooklyn builds more new housing than any other borough, and most of it is mid-rise: five to eight stories of apartments over a commercial ground floor, on tight infill lots. The typical window package is punched aluminum or uPVC tilt-and-turn windows on the residential floors with storefront below, often with laminated glass on the avenue side for noise. Sites near elevated train lines carry sound attenuation requirements that decide the glass.
Deliveries are the practical problem: narrow one-way streets, no laydown area and neighbors on both sides. We deliver by floor in small drops and coordinate with the hoist.
Recent Brooklyn new construction: 408 Lefferts Avenue (Alutech windows and storefront, six stories), 2518 Ocean Avenue (Everest windows and balcony doors), 17 Dodworth Street, Bushwick (Everest windows and glass railings) and 461 East New York Avenue (Alutech AW80). See also our Brooklyn page.
Queens has two different markets. Long Island City and the waterfront build tall: towers and large mid-rise buildings with curtain wall, window wall and high design pressures, where the architectural performance class matters. The rest of the borough, from Astoria to Jamaica and Flushing, builds smaller multifamily and mixed-use buildings and a great many private houses.
Aircraft noise near LaGuardia and JFK and the elevated lines along Roosevelt Avenue and Queens Boulevard make acoustic glass a regular requirement. Ask for the tested sound rating of the whole window, not only the glass.
Recent Queens projects: 10-64 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City (Cortizo curtain wall, tilt-and-turn windows, curved storefront) and 5-13 47th Road (Cortizo divided-lite windows and corner entrance). See our Queens page.
Staten Island is our home base, at 7 Beach Street. New construction here is mostly one- and two-family houses, townhouse rows, and low-rise mixed-use and commercial buildings along the main corridors. Wood-frame construction is common, so many packages use nail-fin or flanged windows taped into the housewrap, alongside aluminum storefront at the commercial ground floors.
The South Shore and the East Shore are exposed to coastal wind and salt air. Choose finishes and hardware rated for a marine environment and check the design pressure for exposed sites.
Being local means site visits, measurements and service calls are quick, and orders can be collected from us. Example: 217 Main Street, Tottenville (Kleidco storefront, windows and entrance doors on a new building). See our Staten Island page.
We supply and install across northern and central New Jersey and along the shore. New Jersey builds under its own Uniform Construction Code and energy subcode, not the New York City codes, so performance requirements and inspections differ from a job across the river. Tell us the municipality at quote stage.
The work divides into three kinds. Hudson County, including Jersey City, Hoboken and Bayonne, builds mid- and high-rise multifamily much like Brooklyn and Queens. The suburbs build custom houses and townhouse developments, where large sliding doors, shaped windows and dark aluminum frames are popular. The shore, from Monmouth to Ocean County, adds coastal wind exposure; on some sites the designer will call for impact-rated or protected openings.
Examples: 201 Park Avenue, Monmouth Beach (complete Alumil window and door package for a custom house), Lakewood (custom aluminum windows with a six-foot round window) and 829 Garfield Avenue, Jersey City (mirror wall in a new residential building). See aluminum windows in New Jersey.
We also work in Manhattan, the Bronx, Long Island and eastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley. If your site is outside the areas above, ask; the process is the same.
Fabrication takes the same time wherever the site is; what changes is delivery. In Brooklyn and Queens we plan small drops timed to the hoist and to street access hours. On Staten Island and in suburban New Jersey, where sites have room, a house or a whole floor can arrive in one load. For shore and coastal sites we confirm exposure and finish before ordering, because a marine-grade finish or hardware upgrade is a factory option, not something added later. Whatever the location, each unit is labeled with its floor and opening so it goes straight to where it will be installed.
If you are comparing suppliers for a site in one of these areas, ask each for the nearest building they have completed and go and look at it. Windows that have been through a few winters tell you more than a showroom sample.
Yes. Brooklyn is our largest market for new buildings, typically mid-rise apartment buildings with aluminum or uPVC windows and storefront at the ground floor.
Yes, from high-rise curtain wall and window packages in Long Island City to multifamily buildings and houses across the borough.
At 7 Beach Street, Staten Island. Orders can be collected there by arrangement, and we deliver throughout the region.
Yes, across northern and central New Jersey and the shore. New Jersey has its own construction and energy codes, so tell us the municipality when you ask for a quote.
Yes. We supply to builders and contractors with or without installation.
