General contractors and owners we have worked with
What we are
A glazing subcontractor, not a glass shop with a truck
We hold a Florida Certified Specialty Contractor license in glass and glazing, SCC131154568, and we are Licensed & Bonded. Certified is the statewide grade, so it is not a county registration that has to be re-pulled every time the job moves. We take a package from the elevations through shop drawings, product approval, fabrication and installation, and we sign for our own work. On most jobs we are the subcontractor a general contractor carries, not a supplier the GC has to find an installer for.
Everything on the commercial side
Pick the scope you are pricing
Grouped the way a package usually gets split. Each one carries the systems we actually install, the code that governs it and the jobs we have closed in that scope.
Storefront and envelope
Impact Storefronts
Large missile impact systems with the approval numbers, for the HVHZ in Miami-Dade and Broward and for the wind zones north of it.
Curtain Walls
Stick built and unitized above the storefront line, where the wall carries its own load back to the slab edge.
Entrances and Automatic Doors
Manual and automatic entrances, ADA hardware, closers and the annual inspection the standard requires.
Interior and specialty
Glass Partitions
Office and retail partitions, frameless or framed, with the door hardware and the acoustic detail settled before fabrication.
Glass Railings
Guards and handrails on spigots, base shoe or standoffs, sized to the code loads and to what the slab will actually take.
Mirrors
Gym, retail and restroom mirror, copper free silvered, with safety backing and the ADA mounting heights.
Showers
Enclosures by the floor for condo, hotel and club, built to repeat across a stack instead of measured unit by unit.
Service and repair
Small work counts too.
A broken storefront lite, a door closer that has given up, a failed insulated unit. That is usually how a new general contractor tries us before handing over a package.
Before you carry us
What a prequal package gets from us
Most of what holds up a subcontractor at prequal is paperwork nobody has ready. We keep ours current, so the package goes back the same week you ask for it.
For general contractors
The record
Commercial work we have delivered
Every job here is ours and the general contractor is named on it. The list comes straight from the project record, so it updates itself as work closes.
Systems and hardware
Eight manufacturers, one point of contact
Six aluminum system houses and two hardware houses. We are not tied to any of them, so the system on your job is the one that meets the approval and the schedule, not the one we happen to stock.
Questions general contractors ask
What general contractors ask before they carry us
Not on the list? Call us at (561) 584-8485, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
Do you work as a subcontractor to the GC, or direct to the owner?
Both, and most of our commercial volume is as a subcontractor. On a GC job we carry our own scope, produce our own shop drawings and submittals, coordinate with the framing and stucco trades ourselves, and close out our own punch. On owner direct work we do the same and also pull the permit.
Which counties do you cover?
Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. Our license is a state certification rather than a county registration, so what limits the map is the drive, not the paperwork. We will look at work outside those four, and we will tell you plainly if the travel makes us the wrong price for it.
Do you handle High Velocity Hurricane Zone jobs?
Yes. The HVHZ is Miami-Dade and Broward only, and those two counties run their own approval process, so the system needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance rather than a statewide Florida Product Approval. Palm Beach and Martin sit outside the HVHZ and use Florida Product Approval against the county wind speed. We pull whichever one your building department asks for.
How fast do bids come back?
Commercial bids go out from 48 hours once we have elevations and a glazing schedule. If all you have is photos of the opening and a rough size we will still give you a number. We will just write down what we assumed.
Can you work in an occupied building?
Yes, and a good part of our retail work is exactly that. Bal Harbour Shops and Town Center at Boca Raton were both done around trading hours, and the Hallandale Beach office had spandrel glass swapped without the tenants moving out. Night and early morning windows are normal for us, and they get priced that way up front rather than discovered later.
Do you take small work, or only full packages?
Both. A broken storefront lite, a door closer that has given up, a failed insulated unit. That is usually how a new general contractor tries us before handing over a package. What we do not run is emergency call out at night: our service hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
What do you not do?
We do not do skylights, we do not do glass floors, and we do not chase work outside the four counties. We would rather say so now than halfway through your schedule.
Start here
Send the elevations and we will price it
Drawings, a glazing schedule, or photos of the opening with a rough size. Any of the three is enough to start. We price system, glass and labor as separate lines, so you can see what moves when the architect changes the finish.
Request a bid
Commercial bids from 48 hours. Every request gets a reply from someone who has read the elevations.
