How quickly can broken storefront glass be replaced?

We typically provide same-day board-up service and complete permanent glass replacement within 2-5 business days depending on glass type and size. Standard tempered storefront panels are stocked for faster turnaround.

Does insurance cover commercial glass repair?

Yes. We provide detailed invoices and documentation that insurance adjusters need for glass damage claims. We can also provide photos and measurements as part of the claim support.

Can commercial door closers and hardware be repaired?

Yes. We adjust and replace door closers, pivots, panic bars, and other commercial door hardware. Often a door closer adjustment or replacement solves a door that slams, does not close fully, or drifts open.

Can you match the window style on my historic Nevada City Victorian?

Yes. We work with manufacturers who offer custom profiles that replicate period window styles. You get the look of a traditional wood sash with the insulating performance of modern dual-pane glass. We measure and photograph existing windows to ensure the replacement matches.

Do you handle window projects in Nevada City's historic district?

Yes. We are experienced with the requirements of working on older structures. We can provide documentation of product specifications if needed for local historic review. Our goal is to improve performance without altering the visual character of the home.

What is the best window option for a Nevada City home at this elevation?

Vinyl or fiberglass frames with dual-pane, argon-filled Low-E glass perform well at 2,500 feet. For historic homes, we offer wood-clad options that maintain the period look on the exterior while providing modern insulation on the interior side.

Commercial Glass Repairs — What to Expect

Broken storefront glass, cracked door panels, and failed insulated units are more than cosmetic problems. They affect building security, customer perception, and energy costs. For a retail business or office, a broken front window needs to be addressed quickly and repaired correctly.

Colfax Glass provides commercial glass repair services for storefronts, office buildings, restaurants, and other light commercial properties across our service area. We replace single-pane, tempered, laminated, and insulated glass units in aluminum and steel storefront framing systems. We also repair and adjust commercial door hardware including closers, pivots, panic devices, and threshold components.

Response time matters for commercial repairs. A broken window left open overnight creates a security risk and potential liability. We stock common storefront glass sizes and can board up openings the same day in most cases. Permanent replacement glass is typically installed within a few days for standard sizes and within 1-2 weeks for custom or specialty orders.

We work with property managers, business owners, and contractors in Auburn, Roseville, Sacramento, Rocklin, Grass Valley, and along the coast in Brookings and Crescent City. Our commercial repair work is focused on getting businesses back to normal with minimal downtime. We handle insurance documentation and can provide itemized invoices for property management companies that need detailed records.

Commercial Glass Repairs for Nevada City, CA Homes

Nevada City is one of the most architecturally distinctive towns in the Sierra foothills. The historic downtown and surrounding neighborhoods feature a concentration of Victorian-era homes with ornate trim, tall narrow windows, and original wood sashes. Preserving the character of these homes while improving thermal performance requires careful product selection and installation technique.

At roughly 2,500 feet elevation, Nevada City gets meaningful snowfall and extended freezing conditions through winter. Windows and doors need to handle snow loads, ice buildup at sills, and the thermal stress of cold nights followed by sunny days. We specify products with strong weatherstripping, durable frame materials, and insulating glass units rated for mountain conditions.

Colfax Glass is about 40 minutes from downtown Nevada City. For homeowners restoring older Victorian or Craftsman homes, we source custom window profiles that match period styles without sacrificing thermal performance. We also serve the surrounding areas of Cement Hill, Deer Creek, and properties along the Highway 49 corridor.

How Commercial Glass Repairs Works

1
Damage Assessment
We evaluate the broken or damaged glass, identify the glass type and thickness, and assess the frame and hardware condition. Safety and security needs are prioritized.
2
Glass & Hardware Sourcing
We source the correct replacement glass (tempered, laminated, insulated, or specialty) and any hardware needed. Common storefront glass sizes are stocked for fast turnaround.
3
Board-Up or Temporary Securing
If the opening cannot be immediately reglazed, we board up or secure the area to protect the property and maintain building security until the permanent repair is complete.
4
Repair & Replacement
Our crew removes damaged glass safely, sets the new panel, and adjusts door closers, pivots, or other hardware as needed. We work around your business hours to minimize disruption.
5
Final Inspection
We verify the new glass is secure, hardware operates correctly, and the repair meets safety and code standards. The work area is cleaned and debris is removed.
6
Documentation & Follow-Up
We provide detailed invoices and photo documentation for insurance claims or property management records. Follow-up service is available if adjustments are needed.

“Our 1890s Nevada City home needed windows that looked right but actually insulated. Colfax Glass found a product that matched the originals and the house is noticeably warmer in winter now.”
