Storefronts, entrance doors, office partitions, conference room walls, and board-up after a break. Hackensack is a working downtown with a courthouse, a hospital campus and a lot of ground-floor commercial space, and the glass on a building there is either an asset or a liability. We measure on site, free, and plan the work around your busiest hours.
On the front of the building that means storefront glass, entrance doors and sidelites, sized and set so the door works all day without a fight. Inside it means office partitions and conference room walls that give you separation without turning the floor plate into a warren of drywall. We fabricate in our own Lodi shop and our own crew installs, so the person who measured it is connected to the person who sets it.
Then there is the call nobody plans: a panel goes overnight and you open in the morning. We board up to secure and close the opening, then template and replace the glass properly once the size and type are confirmed. Property managers want documentation and a clear scope, so we write it that way. We are licensed and insured, and the install never gets subcontracted out.
Hackensack runs on offices. The county courthouse and government buildings pull in law practices, and the regional medical center anchors a whole district of medical and professional suites around it. Those tenants take space, reconfigure it, and want glass partitions that keep daylight in the interior while giving a lawyer or a clinician a room with a door. That is a fit-out with a deadline attached, and we schedule to it.
The other half is street level and residential. Main Street storefronts and the retail along the main corridors live behind big glass, and property managers here are responsible for a lot of apartment stock: lobby doors, vestibules, common-area glass, and the panel that came in over a weekend. For all of it we plan around your busiest hours, protect the space we are working in, and get the opening closed and back in service.
Hackensack's Downtown Rehabilitation Plan, as amended in June 2023, says storefronts inside its Rehabilitation Area are "required to be a minimum of 75% transparent from the street" and that windows and interior layouts for retail type uses "should permit unobstructed visibility of at least 12 feet into the establishment", yet presents those storefront criteria "less as a set of rules, and more as a benchmark". The plan's list of materials not permitted, smoked or tinted glass and anodized or mill finish aluminum among them, is for "storefronts in new development", and the same line sends existing storefronts to its rehabilitation standards. A new storefront or a large facade change is worth taking to Hackensack's planning and zoning office with the design standards in hand before choosing storefront doors and glass, and that office can say whether a property sits inside the area.

Call the shop and tell us what broke and roughly how big the opening is. We board up to secure the opening, then measure and fabricate the replacement to the right size and type. The safety glazing rules decide which openings need safety glazing, and the National Glass Association says fully tempered or laminated glass is required for doors, side lites and entrances, so we confirm what your opening needs rather than guess. We will not promise an arrival time we cannot keep, but you get a straight answer on timing.
Yes, and it is close. Our main showroom and shop sits at 80 Industrial Rd, Lodi, NJ 07644, about a 10 minute drive, open Monday to Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 9 to 4, at (201) 460-1313. It is a working glass shop, so you can see glass types, thicknesses and hardware finishes for a storefront or a partition. Midland Park, 108 Greenwood Ave, is by appointment, about 18 minutes out.
It depends on what is going in: the size and number of openings, the glass type and thickness, whether it is a storefront system, a partition or a door, and the hardware and finish. Board-up and replacement price differently than a planned fit-out. After a free on-site measure you get a firm itemized quote you can hand to an owner or a board.
Hackensack's Downtown Rehabilitation Plan lists, among the items it says should be considered for buildings proposed for rehabilitation, renovation and adaptive reuse in its Rehabilitation Area, that "Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired instead of being replaced where feasible" and that, where replacement is necessary, "the same materials are encouraged to be used and the replacement should meet the same visual, design, composition, color and texture of the original feature". Hackensack's planning and zoning office can say whether a property and a job fall under those standards.
Where the layout allows, yes. Partition glass goes in once the framing or track is ready, and we can stage it so one area is closed off at a time instead of the entire floor. In a medical or law suite that matters, because patient and client scheduling is not flexible. Tell us your hours and any building access rules and we will build the sequence around them before we start.
Yes. We work with property managers on lobby and vestibule doors, common-area glass, storefront tenant spaces and replacements after a break, and we can hold the same glass and hardware specification across the properties you run so later replacements are simple. Our own crew does the install, so you are dealing with us and not a subcontractor.
