Storefront Glass Installation & Repair in Boston, MA

We repair broken and foggy storefront glass, fix entrance doors and install new energy-efficient storefronts for businesses across Boston, Cambridge and the surrounding cities.

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.

Storefront glass in an old city

Boston’s commercial streets are some of the oldest in the country. Storefronts on Newbury Street, in the South End, Beacon Hill and the neighborhood squares are set into brick and brownstone buildings, and many sit in historic districts where changes need design review. At the same time, the Seaport, Kendall Square and the suburban office and lab corridors are filled with newer buildings with large storefront and curtain wall openings.

We repair and replace glass, doors and storefront systems in both, and we install interior glass for office and life science tenant improvements.

Massachusetts energy code

Massachusetts has one of the most demanding energy codes in the country, and the Boston area’s stretch and specialized codes push it further. When a storefront is replaced, the new glazing and frames need to meet strict thermal performance requirements, which in practice means high-performance insulated low-E glass in a thermally broken frame.

We specify compliant systems from the start and provide the product data the permit reviewer asks for.

Winter, wind and nor’easters

Boston winters bring cold, wind-driven snow and nor’easters off the ocean. Storefronts that leak air and water, doors that do not seal and insulated units with failed seals are the most common winter complaints. We replace foggy units, adjust and repair doors, replace weatherstripping, and fix leaks at sills and perimeter joints.

Historic districts and landmarks

In Boston’s historic districts, changes to a storefront often need approval from the district commission or the Boston Landmarks Commission. We work with owners on profiles, finishes and divisions that suit the building and the district, and we confirm approval requirements before ordering.

Broken glass and emergencies

When a storefront is broken by a break-in, vandalism or a vehicle, we board up or temporarily glaze the opening the same day, clean up and document the damage for insurance, then install the permanent glass.
