Glass Contractor for Builders and Developers in Brooklyn

One glazing subcontractor for the whole building: windows, storefront, curtain wall, entrance doors, glass railings and panels on new construction and gut renovations across Brooklyn, with shop drawings, fabrication at our shop and installation by our own crews.

← Brooklyn

In short: Alex Glass Construction is a glazing contractor for builders and developers in Brooklyn. We take the window and glass scope of a new building as one package: take-off from the architect’s set, shop drawings, fabrication of the aluminum at our shop, and installation by our own crews, from the ground-floor storefront to the roof railings. Six-story rentals, condos, mixed-use corners and townhouse rebuilds across Brooklyn. Call 929-235-1233 or request a free quote.

What a builder gets from one glazing contractor

On a new building in Brooklyn the glass scope is usually split between a window dealer, a storefront company, a railing installer and a panel sub, each with its own drawings, lead time and excuses. We take the whole scope: windows, storefront, curtain wall, entrance doors, glass railings and aluminum composite panels, drawn as one set and installed by one crew. The sizes are taken once, the sequence is planned with the framer and the mason, and a leak has one phone number.

The six-story building at 408 Lefferts Avenue is that package: every window, the corner storefront and the entrance, from drawings to the last bead of sealant. What a glazing contractor does on new construction explains the role; window subcontractor in NYC covers how we work under a GC.

Scope we take on a new building

How we work under a general contractor

  1. Bid from the set. Send the drawings and the window schedule; we do the take-off and price the scope per opening with the systems named, with budget and premium options where they exist.
  2. Shop drawings and submittals. Every opening drawn, with the energy and performance data, for the architect’s approval; see design, planning and drawings and the 711 Franklin shop drawing set.
  3. Field verification. Openings measured after framing or masonry, before fabrication.
  4. Fabrication and delivery. Aluminum at our shop; the rest ordered to the approved drawings; delivered to the floor, labeled by opening. See when to order windows for new construction.
  5. Installation. Floor by floor by our own crews, flashed and sealed to the air barrier, with the storefront and railings in sequence with the facade.
  6. Closeout. Protective film off, glazing cleaned, punch list, and the shop drawings as the record for the building.

Questions People Ask

Who is a good glass contractor for builders in Brooklyn?

Alex Glass Construction takes the window and glass scope of new buildings in Brooklyn as one package: windows, storefront, curtain wall, entrances, glass railings and panels, from shop drawings to installation by our own crews. Call 929-235-1233 or send the drawings for a bid.

Do you work as a subcontractor under a general contractor?

Yes. Most of our new-construction work in Brooklyn is under a GC or directly for the developer: we bid from the set, submit shop drawings, fabricate, deliver and install, and coordinate with the framer, mason and facade trades.

What size buildings do you do?

Townhouse rebuilds up to mid-rise rentals and condos; 408 Lefferts Avenue is a six-story building with every window, the corner storefront and the entrance by us. Larger buildings are quoted on the drawings.

Do you provide shop drawings and submittals?

Yes. Every opening is drawn, with the system sections, glass make-up and the energy and performance data the architect and the DOB filing need, and nothing is fabricated until the drawings are approved.

Can you supply windows only and let our crew install?

Yes. Supply to the window schedule with shop drawings, delivery to the floor and a site start for your crew; see our wholesale and bulk order pages.

How far ahead should we order windows for a new building?

Order from approved shop drawings as soon as the openings are framed or the masonry is set, three to twelve weeks before you need them depending on the line; imported European systems take the longest. Our guide to when to order windows for new construction has the schedule.

Do you handle glass railings and storefront as well as windows?

Yes, and that is the point: one contractor, one set of drawings and one crew for the windows, the ground-floor storefront, the entrance and the balcony and roof railings.

Do you do the same work in Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx?

Yes. 2535 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, 10-64 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City and the Elston at Woodycrest Avenue in the Bronx were complete packages on new buildings.
