Paterson, NJ
Window Installation & Glass Repair
Paterson is one of the densest housing markets in NJ — 160,000 residents across roughly eight square miles. The housing stock is a mix of 19th-century mill-worker rowhouses around the Great Falls, three-deckers in the 4th and 5th wards, and post-war low-rise apartment buildings along Route 20.
We see a steady stream of Paterson work: emergency glass after street incidents, IGU replacements in 1980s-era apartment buildings where the original Pella seals have long since failed, and storefront glazing along Main Street and Market Street. Our crews are in Paterson 4-5 days a week.
What We Work On in Paterson
Mix of 1880s-1900s brick rowhouses (Great Falls/Bunker Hill), 1920s wood-frame three-deckers (4th/5th wards), 1960s-1980s apartment complexes (Eastside), and active retail/industrial corridors along Main, Market, and Madison.
Common Paterson Jobs
- Storefront emergency glass replacement
- Apartment building IGU re-glazing (multifamily)
- Punched-opening commercial windows
- Insulated-glass replacement on aluminum sash
- Board-up service for vacant or damaged properties
Paterson's Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior changes in the Great Falls Historic District. We've worked with the HPC on replacement-in-kind projects there.
Paterson's commercial and multifamily inventory takes more break-in glass damage than any other municipality we work — emergency board-up + commercial glass replacement runs almost weekly along Main, Market, and Madison. We carry pre-cut plywood + tempered/laminated commercial sizes on every emergency truck. For the residential 4th/5th ward three-deckers, wind-driven nor'easter rain finds drafty original sash gaps; IGU upgrade is high-ROI on these properties.

Paterson Window FAQ
Do you offer same-day commercial storefront glass replacement?
Yes for stock-size clear glass during business hours. Tempered or laminated commercial glass requires 2–5 business days for the cut, with same-day board-up to keep the storefront secure overnight. Most commercial property policies cover emergency board-up as mitigation; we document the claim free.
What does Great Falls HPC require for window replacement?
In-kind replacement (wood-to-wood, matching grille pattern, matching profile) typically clears HPC review at the first meeting. Material change (wood to vinyl) is harder to get approved in the historic district. We pre-package the COA submission free as part of any bid in the Great Falls district.
Can you do apartment-building window packages with tenant notification?
Yes — multi-unit apartment window package work is a regular part of our schedule. Standard scope: written tenant notification 7 days ahead (English + Spanish for Paterson demographics), work hours 7am–6pm weekday only per Paterson noise ordinance, secure each unit watertight at end of each day. Most 12–24 unit buildings complete in 5–10 working days.
