Storefront Glass Installation & Repair in San Jose, CA
We install and repair storefront glass, entrance doors and interior glass for San Jose and Silicon Valley businesses, from downtown retail to campus office buildings, with emergency board-up when glass breaks.
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 Silicon Valley buildings
San Jose’s commercial buildings range from 1960s strip centers and older downtown storefronts to newer mixed-use buildings around Santana Row and the office and R&D campuses of North San Jose. The glass work follows that range: one broken lite in an aging storefront, a new entrance for a restaurant that just signed a lease, or full-height glass office fronts for a tech tenant moving into a second-generation space.
We handle storefronts, entrances, windows and interior glass across the South Bay, and we work for owners, property managers, tenants and general contractors.
Tenant improvements and interior glass
Office tenants in the South Bay expect glass. Conference rooms, private offices and collaboration spaces are built with glass fronts and demountable partition systems that bring daylight into the floor plate and keep sound where it belongs. We install framed and frameless glass office fronts, glass partition walls, sliding and pivot glass doors, and the hardware that goes with them.
On a tenant improvement the glass work comes late in the schedule and gets measured off finished framing, so we coordinate with the general contractor on field dimensions and lead times early. That keeps the glass from becoming the item that holds up the move-in date.
Seismic and energy requirements
California’s building code accounts for seismic movement in glazing systems, and storefront and curtain wall systems are installed with the clearances and anchoring their manufacturers specify for that reason. Glass in hazardous locations such as doors and adjacent sidelites must be safety glazing.
When storefront glass is replaced or a space is altered, Title 24 energy requirements apply to the new glazing. We specify insulated low-E glass that meets the numbers and provide the product data for plan check.
Glass emergencies and break-ins
Broken storefront glass after a break-in, vandalism or a vehicle strike needs to be secured the same day. We board up or temporarily glaze the opening, clean up, document the damage for insurance, and then measure and install the permanent glass. For locations with repeated break-ins we recommend laminated glass or security film.

San Jose storefront glass questions
What owners, property managers and tenants in San Jose ask us most.
Do you install glass office fronts for tenant improvements?
Yes. We install framed and frameless glass office fronts, partition walls, conference room glass and glass doors, coordinated with the general contractor’s schedule.
Does replacing storefront glass trigger Title 24?
Replacing glazing or altering a space generally means the new glass has to meet California’s Title 24 energy standards. We confirm the requirement and specify compliant low-E glass.
How fast can a broken storefront be secured?
The same day. We board up or temporarily glaze the opening, then install the permanent glass once it is fabricated.
Can you match the glass in an older storefront?
Usually, yes. We identify the glass type, thickness and tint. If an exact match is no longer made, we find the closest available glass and tell you before ordering.
Do you service door closers and locks?
Yes. We repair and replace closers, pivots, continuous hinges, panic devices and locks on aluminum and frameless glass doors.
