Storefront Glass Installation & Repair in Denver, CO

Hail, wind, intense high-altitude sun and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on Denver storefronts. We replace broken and foggy glass, repair doors and install new aluminum storefronts across the metro.

What happens when you call

Talk to a glazier

Tell us what broke or what you need built. We ask about glass type, opening size, frame condition and whether the space is secure.

Make it safe, then make it right

Broken openings are boarded or temporarily glazed first. Then the opening is measured and the permanent glass is ordered to fit.

Written scope, clean records

You get a line-item estimate and photos of the damage and the finished work for your landlord or insurance carrier.

Commercial glass on the Front Range

Denver storefronts deal with a combination few other cities have: large hail, strong downslope winds, intense UV at altitude and dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter. Each of those finds the weak points in a glazing system, whether it is a failed insulated unit, a cracked lite, brittle gaskets or a door that no longer seals.

We work on storefronts and entrances for retail, restaurants, offices, medical buildings and mixed-use projects from LoDo and RiNo to Cherry Creek, the Denver Tech Center and the suburbs.

Hail and storm damage

After a hailstorm, the glass damage on a commercial building is not always obvious. Some lites shatter; others take a bruise or a small chip that turns into a running crack days later. Insulated units can lose their seal from the impact and fog over the following weeks.

We secure broken openings first, then inspect the whole storefront and document every damaged lite, door and frame component with photos and measurements, so the insurance claim covers all of it and not just the glass that was visibly broken on day one.

Altitude and insulated glass

Insulated glass units are sealed at the pressure where they are made. A unit fabricated near sea level and installed at a mile high can bulge from the pressure difference, which stresses the seal and leads to early failure. Units for Denver should be built with capillary or breather tubes or fabricated for the altitude.

That is one reason foggy units are so common on the Front Range. We replace failed units with ones built for the elevation, so the replacement does not fail the same way.

Cold weather, doors and air leaks

In winter, a storefront door that does not close fully or a gasket that has shrunk lets cold air and snow in and makes the entry a hazard. We adjust and repair closers and pivots, replace weatherstripping and sweeps, and upgrade to thermally broken frames and insulated glass when the storefront is due for replacement. Denver’s energy code applies when a storefront is replaced.
