Newark is Essex County's commercial and residential anchor, and the work breakdown reflects that. The Ironbound is overwhelmingly storefront, restaurant, and commercial work; Forest Hill is high-end Victorians and stately brownstones with primary-bath renovations; Weequahic and the South Ward have a deep base of multifamily and two-family residential. Downtown commercial fit-out (office partitions, conference rooms, retail glass) is its own category. We work across all of these.

Shower-door highlights
Shower enclosures are our highest-volume residential category in Newark, and the variety of housing here means we see a wide spread of styles and footprints. Recent examples:
Forest Hill Victorian primary-bath frameless enclosure
A renovated primary bath in a stately Forest Hill Victorian wanted a frameless enclosure to match the period feel but with modern light. We installed a 1/2″ frameless inline door with a fixed return panel in low-iron glass, brushed brass hardware, and a custom 24″ pull. Three-week fabrication; single-day install.
Weequahic multifamily three-unit shower package
A three-unit multifamily near Weequahic Park had matching tub-shower openings in every apartment. We installed matching 3/8″ frameless sliding bypass doors across all three units in a single workday. The landlord-client model lives or dies on predictable timing, and we built ours around that.
Ironbound restaurant glass partition
A new Ironbound restaurant wanted a glass partition separating the bar area from the main dining room. We installed a slim-channel partition with painted glass on the lower half for privacy at the bar stools and clear glass above for sightline.
Mirror highlights
Custom mirrors are an underused category: most homeowners don't realize the upgrade until they see one done at the right size, with the right edge treatment. Two recent Newark examples:
Forest Hill Victorian foyer mirror
A 40″ × 76″ statement mirror for a Forest Hill Victorian foyer, fabricated with polished edges and a soft antique-finish silvering, then sent to the owner's framer for a period-appropriate gilt frame.
Downtown commercial back-bar mirror
An 8-foot back-bar mirror for a downtown Newark restaurant, tempered with polished edges, mechanical clip anchoring.
Other glass work
Beyond showers and mirrors, we see steady volume in Newark across the rest of our services:
- Ironbound storefront repair after vehicle strikes, with tempered panels replaced to the opening.
- Office conference-room glass for a downtown tenant: eight 1/2″ tempered panels with point fittings.
- Painted-glass kitchen backsplash in a renovated Forest Hill colonial: a single 8-foot panel in warm white.
- Glass railing on a renovated brownstone stair: 3/8″ tempered, top-mounted on a wood handrail.
Why Newark chooses AGM
Newark has a wide mix of project types: restaurant, storefront, Victorian residential, multifamily and downtown commercial. That's the difference between a quote-and-pray model and a measure-fabricate-install start-to-finish model. We measure on site, the glass is cut and edged in our Lodi shop, and we've been installing custom glass across Essex County and North Jersey for over forty years.
