Construction Damage on Glass
Over our nearly twenty-five years in business we have seen too many construction projects with damage to newly installed glass. Finding out which subcontractor is at fault can be a daunting task in itself, much less the repair or replacement of said glass.

Dealing with vandalized glass on commercial buildings
What’s the best way to deter graffiti? Keep it off your building! It sounds simple but any graffiti in your neighborhood is like a magnet for more vandalism. Encouraging the neighboring properties to remain graffiti free will have a positive effect on the area as a whole and make your job that much easier.
