Eight projects in South Brooklyn: a limestone house on Ocean Parkway, a mixed-use remodel on Gravesend Neck Road, a facade on Coney Island Avenue, balcony guards on Emmons Avenue, condo windows on Ocean Avenue.
South Brooklyn below Kings Highway is the densest cluster of our work anywhere: eight projects within a couple of miles of each other, across every building type the area has. Large new houses on Ocean Parkway and in Manhattan Beach — Reynaers SlimLine 38 arches at Ocean Parkway and Avenue W, Pella on Coleridge Street. Mixed-use buildings on the commercial streets — Cortizo tilt-turn replacement at 1192 Gravesend Neck Road, a new storefront and whole facade on Coney Island Avenue. Condo and office buildings on the avenues — Everest windows at 2518 Ocean Avenue, glass office partitions at 3121 Ocean Avenue. And the waterfront — glass balcony guards on the wave-form parapets at 1505 Emmons Avenue, LED glass terrace railings at 61 Avenue U.
It is our home market on the Brooklyn side: fifteen minutes from the shop over the Verrazzano and down the Belt, and the neighborhood where a customer usually already knows a building we did.

Mostly private houses and small buildings with no Landmarks review, so the work moves fast; condos on Ocean Avenue and the Emmons Avenue waterfront follow alteration agreements. The waterfront blocks are in the flood zone, which affects ground-floor glazing and hardware finishes. Commercial fronts on Avenue U, Kings Highway and Coney Island Avenue need DOT permits for work over the sidewalk. See window replacement and storefront repair.
Yes, on houses, mixed-use buildings and condos; 1192 Gravesend Neck Road and 2518 Ocean Avenue are recent examples.
Yes: Reynaers arched windows and curtain wall on Ocean Parkway, Pella on Coleridge Street in Manhattan Beach.
