Your Storefront Is the First Thing Customers See
Before a customer reads a sign or walks through the door, they've already registered whether your storefront looks maintained or tired. Bent mullions, cloudy glass, and mismatched repair patches send a message about your business whether you intend it or not. A storefront system that's designed and installed properly avoids that problem for years.
Full Systems for New Fit-Outs and Renovations
We install complete aluminum storefront systems — thermally broken framing, insulated glazing, entrance doors, and transoms — for new retail fit-outs and full renovations. One contract covers engineering, supply, fabrication, and installation, coordinated with your general contractor or delivered directly if you're the owner managing the project yourself.
Repairs That Match What's Already There
Bent mullions from an impact, corroded sills, or a racked door frame don't always justify replacing the whole storefront. We source matching or compatible profiles for major systems — Kawneer, Alumicor, CRL, and similar — and repair sections seamlessly so the fix doesn't look like a patch.
Choosing Glass and Finish
Glass options range from standard clear insulated units to Low-E coatings, tinted, and laminated security glass, and framing finishes run from standard clear anodized to custom powder coats matching your brand. We'll walk through the tradeoffs between appearance, energy performance, and cost during your quote.
Meeting Ontario's Energy Code
New storefronts installed today need to meet SB-10 energy requirements. Thermally broken aluminum framing paired with Low-E insulated glazing hits current code while keeping sightlines slim, so you're not trading a compliant storefront for a bulky-looking one.
What a New Storefront Costs
Typical retail storefronts run $250 to $450 per square foot of elevation installed, including framing, glazing, and a standard entrance door. A common 12-foot by 10-foot storefront lands between $18,000 and $35,000 depending on spec. Glass-only sections without framing changes are priced separately, generally in the $25 to $75 per square foot range.
Timeline From Measurement to Install
Fabrication runs 2 to 4 weeks after final measurement, since aluminum profiles and glass are cut to your specific opening. Installation of a typical single storefront takes 2 to 4 days on site. We stage work to keep your entrance usable wherever the schedule allows.

Issues We Hear About Most Often
Property managers, retailers, and GCs across the GTA run into the same patterns. Here is what usually brings people to this service — and how we approach it.
A patched storefront looks like a patched storefront
Mismatched repair sections are obvious to customers even if they can't name why the storefront looks off. We source matching or compatible profiles so repairs blend in rather than stand out.
Impact damage from carts, vehicles, or break-ins
Bent mullions and racked frames are common after a loading accident or attempted break-in. Framing repair is usually possible without replacing the full system, which keeps cost and downtime down.
Coordinating with a GC on a tight schedule
Storefront glazing sits late in a build sequence and delays ripple if it's not coordinated well. We work directly with your GC's schedule so glazing doesn't become the bottleneck.
Energy code requirements changed since your last storefront
SB-10 requirements have tightened since many existing storefronts were built. New installations need to meet current code, and we spec framing and glazing that does, without you having to track code changes yourself.
