Long Island City new construction on European aluminum, single-family work in the eastern neighborhoods, co-ops in Forest Hills and Jackson Heights.
Queens work divides by geography. Long Island City and Hunters Point are new construction — condo buildings that want European aluminum, curtain wall, big lites and slim sightlines, which is where The Anable and 5-13 47th Road came from. The eastern neighborhoods — Jamaica Estates, Bayside, Douglaston, Forest Hills Gardens — are single-family houses that want a sunroom, a set of custom windows, a screened porch, and the Pella and Andersen lines that suit them. In between are the great co-op belts of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens and Jackson Heights, where a window replacement is an alteration agreement and a floor-by-floor schedule.
Queens is also the borough with the most Jackson Heights-style historic district review on garden apartments, and the most mid-century aluminum windows reaching the end of their life at once.

Co-op boards in Forest Hills, Rego Park and Kew Gardens generally hold a window specification — often a brand and colour — that the alteration agreement enforces. Jackson Heights garden apartments sit in a historic district and Landmarks reviews street-facing replacements. New construction in LIC is Department of Buildings work with the developer’s architect.
