Storefront Glass Installation & Repair in Orlando, FL
Orlando’s retail, hospitality and office buildings depend on glass that handles heat, afternoon storms and hurricane season. We repair broken storefront glass and doors and install new storefronts across Central Florida.
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 for Central Florida
Orlando’s commercial building stock is dominated by retail centers, restaurants, hotels and the office and medical buildings that support a fast-growing region. Storefronts here deal with intense sun and heat, near-daily summer thunderstorms with wind-driven rain, and hurricanes that can bring damaging winds well inland.
We repair and replace storefront glass, entrances, windows and interior glass for owners, property managers, tenants and general contractors from Downtown and International Drive to Lake Nona, Winter Park and Kissimmee.
Wind ratings and the Florida Building Code
All of Florida builds to the Florida Building Code, and exterior glazing has to meet the design wind pressures for its location. Central Florida is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but much of the region still falls in wind-borne debris areas where glazing needs impact resistance or approved protection, and Florida requires state product approval for storefront systems, windows and doors.
When a storefront is replaced we specify a system with the right approvals and design pressures for the building and install it to the approval’s details. For repairs to an existing system, we match the approved glass make-up.
Rain, leaks and storefront sills
Afternoon storms drive water at storefronts almost every day in summer. When a storefront leaks, the cause is usually at the sill: missing end dams, blocked weep holes, failed perimeter sealant or a sill that was never sloped to drain. Caulking the glass rarely fixes it. We find the actual water path and repair it.
Hospitality and retail glass
Hotels, theme-park area retail and restaurants run long hours and get heavy foot traffic, which wears out entrance hardware quickly. We repair and replace closers, pivots, panic devices and automatic door components, and we install frameless glass entrances and all-glass storefronts for brands that want a clean, open front.

Orlando storefront glass questions
What owners, property managers and tenants in Orlando ask us most.
Do Orlando storefronts need impact glass?
It depends on the building’s location and design wind speed. Many areas in Central Florida fall in wind-borne debris regions where glazing needs impact resistance or approved protection. We confirm the requirement for the address.
Why does my storefront leak during afternoon storms?
Most storefront leaks start at the sill: missing end dams, clogged weeps or failed perimeter sealant. We trace the water path and repair the cause.
Do you repair automatic sliding doors?
Yes. We service automatic sliding door operators, sensors, tracks and glass panels, and we replace worn components.
Can you secure my storefront after a storm or break-in?
Yes. We board up or temporarily glaze broken openings the same day and then install the permanent glass.
Do you work on hotels and restaurants?
Yes. Hospitality and restaurant entrances are a large part of our Orlando work, from hardware repair to full storefront replacement.
