We replace windows in buildings people live in.
Condo towers and apartment communities do not empty out for a window project. Residents stay home, and the work runs on a written protocol that keeps them, your board, and your property manager onside.
A window replacement program in an occupied building carries a risk that a new-construction job never does. It touches the reserve fund, the board approves it, and every resident lives through it. Done badly, it means complaints, open suites, and a special assessment nobody wanted.
That is why occupied-building work runs on procedure, not good intentions. Every part of the day is planned before a crew goes up: who is notified, how each suite is protected, and how every opening is closed the same day it is opened. What follows is how that actually works.
Open in the morning, sealed by night.
Here is what a single working day looks like for a resident whose suite is being done. It is the same every day, in every suite.
Setup and protection
The crew arrives and lays down floor coverings and dust protection in the work area before anything is touched. Access was confirmed with the resident days ahead.
Old units out
The failed windows come out. From this point the opening is never left open and unattended, and the suite is never left open at the end of the day.
New units in
The new windows are set, squared, fastened, and sealed to the opening. Interior finishing follows as each unit goes in.
Sealed and weather-tight
Everything opened that day is fully installed and weather-tight before the crew leaves. No suite is left open overnight. No exceptions.
Cleaned and cleared
Protection is removed, debris is hauled out, and the work area is left clean. The resident’s home is back to normal by the end of the day.
The same standards on every suite, for the whole program.
The daily rhythm is backed by commitments that hold across the entire project, from the first floor to the last.
Advance written notice
Every resident gets written notice before work reaches their suite, with the date and what to expect. Scheduling is done suite by suite.
Never open overnight
Any unit removed is installed, sealed, and weather-tight the same working day. No suite is ever left open when the crew leaves.
Homes protected
Floor coverings, furniture protection, and dust control in every work area, put down before work starts and cleaned up after.
A named site supervisor
One person residents and the property manager can reach directly, on site, for the length of the project.
Access coordinated
Elevator bookings, parking, staging, and building security arranged with management ahead of time, not on the day.
Clean at the end of every day
Debris removed and work areas left tidy daily, through the whole program, not just at the end of the job.
What boards and residents ask.
No. Residents stay in their homes for the whole program. Each suite is done in a day and sealed before the crew leaves.
Written notice ahead of every stage of work, coordinated with the property manager, so residents know the date and what to prepare.
We work with the property manager to reschedule that suite. The program is sequenced so one suite does not hold up the rest.
Yes. No opening is left uncovered when the crew leaves. Every suite is sealed and weather-tight at the end of each working day.
Access, staging, and parking are planned with management before the project starts, so common areas stay usable and disruption is kept to the work zone.
