Windows for Astoria
Astoria mixes six-family pre-war brick buildings, semi-attached houses and newer condo infill within a few blocks of each other. That variety means one street can call for three different window approaches.
The housing in Astoria
Much of the housing stock here dates from the 1920s to the 1950s: masonry openings, plaster returns and original wood double-hung windows that have been painted shut more than once. Newer buildings along Vernon Boulevard and the waterfront introduce larger openings and aluminum systems.
What we watch for here
Waterfront exposure near Astoria Park and Hallets Point means wind-driven rain on north and west elevations, so the seal and the installation detail matter as much as the glass package. Along Steinway Street and 31st Street, traffic and the elevated N/W line make acoustic glass worth discussing.
Estimates in Astoria are free and carry no obligation, we can usually offer a next-day appointment, and payment plans are available. We are licensed and insured, and our team speaks English, Spanish, Russian.
