Glass Contractor for Builders and Developers on Long Island

One glazing subcontractor for the whole building: window packages, storefront, curtain wall, entrance doors, glass railings and panels on new construction in Nassau and Suffolk counties, with shop drawings, fabrication at our shop or factory-direct supply, and installation by our own crews.

← Long Island

In short: Alex Glass Construction is a glazing contractor for builders and developers on Long Island. We take the window and glass scope of a new building or a custom house as one package: take-off from the architect’s set, shop drawings, fabrication of the aluminum at our shop or factory-direct supply from several manufacturers we represent, and installation by our own crews. Surfview Towers in Long Beach (every window on an oceanfront building) and the complete envelope on a new custom house in Woodmere are that package. Call 929-235-1233 or request a free quote.

What a builder in Long Island gets from one glazing contractor

Long Island work splits into two markets: custom houses and small multi-family on the South Shore and the Five Towns, where the owner and the builder want one company for the whole envelope, and mid-rise, retail and commercial buildings along the Nassau and Suffolk corridors, where the GC wants one glazing sub for windows, storefront, curtain wall, entrances and glass railings. We do both, from the same drawings and the same crews.

25 Franklin Boulevard in Long Beach replaced every window on a seven-story oceanfront building; Amherst Drive in Woodmere is the complete exterior envelope of a new custom house: stucco, black ACM panels, Pella windows, steel canopy and box dormers. Long Island windows, doors and glass covers the residential side in detail.

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.
  3. Field verification. Openings measured after framing or masonry, before fabrication.
  4. Fabrication and delivery. Aluminum at our Staten Island shop; factory-direct and branded lines 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.

For volume pricing see wholesale windows for contractors; for a factory-direct package with local survey, drawings, delivery and warranty see why buy imported windows through a local representative.

Questions People Ask

Who is a good glass contractor for builders on Long Island?

Alex Glass Construction takes the window and glass scope of new buildings and custom houses in Nassau and Suffolk 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 in Long Island?

Yes. Most of our new-construction work 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.

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 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.

Can you supply factory-direct windows from China for our building?

Yes. We are an authorized distributor for several manufacturers in China and order windows, doors, curtain wall and railings directly, with survey, shop drawings, submittals, customs, delivery, installation and warranty handled by us locally. Where a named European or American system is the right answer, we quote it alongside.

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 for stocked and fabricated lines, three to four months for factory-direct container orders and imported European systems.

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 build on the barrier islands and the South Shore?

Yes. Long Beach, Lido Beach, Atlantic Beach and the Five Towns are regular work for us; Surfview Towers on the Long Beach boardwalk had every window replaced with units specified for the ocean exposure.

Do you travel to Suffolk County?

Yes, for building packages and commercial work. Smaller residential jobs in eastern Suffolk are quoted with travel included.
