Aluminum storefront systems, entrance doors, transoms and glass in Manhattan for restaurants, retail, offices and building lobbies, fabricated at our Staten Island shop and installed by our own crews, with the DOB and Landmarks filings prepared by us.
In short: Alex Glass Construction fabricates, installs, replaces and repairs commercial storefronts in Manhattan: thermally broken aluminum storefront systems in any color, narrow, medium and wide stile entrance doors with closers, locks and panic hardware, transoms and sidelites, laminated and tempered glass, automatic and frameless glass doors. We survey, draw the storefront for the landlord, the architect and the DOB, fabricate at our Staten Island shop and install at night or in a day where the business cannot close. Storefront glass replacement is usually same week. Call 929-235-1233 or request a free quote.
Manhattan storefront work is restaurants, retail and lobbies, almost always in an occupied building on a street that does not stop. 128 West 23rd Street in Chelsea is a custom storefront modification for a restaurant; 107 1st Avenue in the East Village opens a restaurant to its patio with thermal bifold doors; a pass-through window on Amsterdam Avenue was built in aluminum tubing for a business that serves the sidewalk; 300 East 50th Street in Turtle Bay is a new ground-floor curtain wall with single and double entrance doors.
Landlords and the Department of Buildings want drawings; the Landmarks Commission wants them in SoHo, the Village, Tribeca and the Upper West Side; the business wants the door working by morning. We draw, file, fabricate at our shop and install overnight or in a day, and we repair what we did not install.
Uptown: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem.
Midtown and downtown: Midtown, Chelsea, Gramercy, Greenwich Village, West Village, East Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Hudson Square, Financial District, Battery Park City, Lower East Side, Washington Heights.
A new storefront or any change to the opening files through the Department of Buildings with the architect of record; we supply the shop drawings and product data. In the SoHo-Cast Iron, Greenwich Village, Tribeca, Upper West Side and other historic districts the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews the storefront design, and we prepare that submission. Sidewalk sheds, DOT permits and overnight work are arranged by us; glass replacement and repair usually need no permit. The storefront door design guide and a storefront glass replacement service call show the details we work to.
More projects are added to the portfolio as they finish.
