Service overview
Replace the opening without losing control of the building.
Storefront replacement is more than removing glass and installing a new frame. Existing dimensions, substrates, perimeter conditions, entrances, finishes, building access, and temporary protection all affect the replacement plan.
Capital Glass evaluates the visible conditions and available project information before defining removal, protection, and replacement responsibilities. Concealed conditions may require adjustment after demolition begins.

- Removal sequence Plan demolition around occupancy, access, safety, temporary enclosure, weather exposure, noise, debris, and working hours.

- Replacement compatibility Coordinate the proposed storefront depth, sightlines, glass, doors, hardware, anchors, sealants, and surrounding construction.

- Finish and turnover Confirm patching boundaries, perimeter closures, protection, adjustments, cleaning, and the defined punch-list scope.
