Commercial glass FAQ
Answers to the questions our customers ask most about commercial glass installation, repair, pricing and scheduling in the Washington DC area.
What areas does CBE Glass serve?
We serve Washington DC, Maryland (Montgomery, Prince George's, Howard, Anne Arundel and Charles counties) and Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties).
Do you only work on commercial buildings?
Our focus is commercial and institutional glazing: retail, offices, healthcare, schools, multifamily and mixed-use buildings.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
Yes. Call (202) 492-0676 any time for emergency board-up and broken glass repair.
How much does a storefront glass replacement cost?
It depends on the glass size, type (tempered, laminated, insulated) and access. We provide a free, precise quote after measuring.
Can you match my existing storefront framing?
In most cases we match standard aluminum storefront finishes and profiles, or recommend the closest current system.
Do you work as a subcontractor for general contractors?
Yes. We bid and install glazing packages for general contractors on new construction and tenant fit-outs.
Do you provide shop drawings and submittals?
Yes, for curtain wall, storefront, skylight and railing projects we prepare shop drawings and product submittals for approval.
What types of glass do you install?
Tempered, laminated, insulated low-E, tinted, spandrel, back-painted, decorative, mirror and bullet-resistant glass.
Can you repair a commercial door closer or pivot?
Yes. We repair and replace closers, pivots, panic hardware and locks on aluminum and all-glass doors.
Why is there fog between my window panes?
The seal of the insulated glass unit has failed. Replacing the glass unit restores clarity and energy performance.
Do you install glass railings for commercial buildings?
Yes, including stair railings, balcony and rooftop guardrails and interior glass guards.
Can you work after hours or on weekends?
Yes. For malls, retail stores and occupied buildings we schedule work after hours to avoid disrupting your business.
