Edison is one of NJ's largest townships by population (110,000+) and an enormous mix of housing types — Menlo Park area ranches and splits, north Edison condominium developments, the Indian-American restaurant and retail strip along Oak Tree Road, and the Route 1 commercial spine. We work the entire township.
Most of our Edison work is residential replacement (vinyl over original 1960s-1980s aluminum) and Route 1 commercial reglaze. The Oak Tree Road retail corridor sees steady storefront repair work.
What We Work On in Edison

Edison's 1955–85 single-family stock typically has original aluminum slider or single-pane double-hung windows long past efficient performance — a full-house vinyl IGU upgrade is where the heating and cooling savings are real. Coastal plain location means more direct wind exposure off the Raritan plain than inland NJ — summer microbursts and remnants of tropical systems regularly hit Oak Tree corridor with 50–70 mph gusts. We spec DP-30+ frames as standard on every Edison residential install.

A window replaced in its existing opening, without changing the opening's size or framing, needs no construction permit (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1v), as long as a replacement egress window does not come back smaller. When a job does need one, we pull it directly under NJHIC #13VH13970900 — homeowner does not file or pay the township separately.

Edison Window FAQ
What does a full-house aluminum-to-vinyl window upgrade cost in Edison?
Window count is the biggest driver — a typical Edison ranch or split-level has 10–14 openings, while larger Colonials and new-construction homes run 15–22. After that it is the glass package (standard low-E vs. an upgraded or triple-pane spec), whether any rough openings change size, and second-story access. Quotes are free, usually by phone and in person for bigger jobs, and every one is line-itemed so you can see per-window cost + per-window install + flashing + trim. No bundled totals, and nothing starts until you approve the number.
Do you do Oak Tree Road retail glass on weekends?
Yes — Oak Tree Road retail glass work runs weekends (often Sunday early morning when the retail strip is closed) to avoid disrupting shop operations. We carry stock-size commercial clear glass on emergency trucks; custom-cut tempered or laminated requires 2–5 business day cut + return install.
How long does Edison permit approval take for window replacement?
A same-size replacement in the existing opening needs no construction permit, so there is no permit approval to wait for — it is ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1v. Rough-opening changes (e.g., adding an egress window or enlarging a bedroom window): 14–21 days. Commercial work that changes an opening: 14–21 days. We file under NJHIC #13VH13970900 directly with the township engineering office; homeowner doesn't deal with the paperwork.
