Storefront Glass Installation & Repair in Kansas City, MO

Hail, high winds and big temperature swings are hard on Kansas City storefronts. We repair broken and foggy glass, fix entrance doors and install new storefronts on both sides of the state line.

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 on both sides of the state line

Kansas City is one metro split between two states and a long list of cities. A storefront on the Country Club Plaza, in the Crossroads or downtown is in Kansas City, Missouri. One a few miles away in Overland Park, Olathe or Lenexa is in Kansas, with a different building department and different permit process. We work on both sides and confirm jurisdiction before filing anything.

Our work covers retail and restaurant storefronts, office and medical entrances, and the large suburban shopping centers along the I-435 corridor.

Hail and severe storm damage

Kansas City sits squarely in the path of spring and summer severe weather. Large hail and straight-line winds break glass, dent frames and bend doors, and debris thrown by the wind can take out an entire storefront in a few seconds.

After a storm, we secure every broken opening, then inspect the whole storefront and document all the damage for the insurance claim. Hail can bruise glass and break insulated glass seals without visible breakage, and those failures often show up days or weeks later, so a complete inspection matters.

Heat, cold and failed seals

Summers here are hot and humid, winters bring hard freezes, and the temperature can swing dramatically in a day. Those swings expand and contract frames and glass and break down sealants and the edge seals of insulated units. Foggy glass, drafty doors and leaking sills are the result.

We replace failed insulated units, reseal perimeter joints, replace worn gaskets and weatherstripping, and replace storefronts that are past repair with thermally broken systems and insulated low-E glass.

Historic storefronts

Neighborhoods like the Crossroads, Westport and the West Bottoms have many older commercial buildings, some in historic districts. Replacing a storefront in one of those buildings can involve design review, and we work with owners on frames and glass that fit the building while improving performance.

Doors and hardware

Wind is especially hard on entrance doors. A door caught by a gust can tear its closer arm, pivots or hinges loose. We repair and replace closers, pivots, continuous hinges, locks and panic devices, and replace doors that have been damaged beyond repair.
