Trade 03
Storefront glass, entrance doors, closers and hardware, plus emergency board-ups when a property needs securing before it can be repaired.
Performed in-house
Our own technician performs this work. No Florida contractor license is required for it, and TrionX carries general liability and workers' compensation. One boundary matters here. Repairing and re-glazing an existing opening is our work. A full storefront replacement that needs a building permit and an NOA submittal is not, and goes to a licensed contractor who can pull the permit.
A broken storefront is a security and liability problem long before anyone thinks about the repair. Getting the building safe and closed up comes first. Once the opening is secure, replacing the glass properly becomes a scheduling conversation instead of a panic.
We handle commercial glass across Miami-Dade: storefront systems, entrance doors, interior partitions and the hardware that goes with them. Splitting the emergency response from the permanent fix is deliberate, so you are never waiting on a glass order to make a building secure.
Before storm season, someone should look at every door and window pane on the property. We publish a hurricane door and glass checklist you can print and walk with.
What we handle
Why TrionX
A board-up and a glass replacement are two jobs running on two different clocks, and we treat them that way. The opening is secured first. The glass then gets measured, ordered and fitted properly instead of being rushed to save a visit.
Tempered, laminated and insulated units do different jobs, and South Florida has firm views about what belongs in a storefront opening. We spec to the opening and to code, not to whatever happens to be quickest to get hold of.
Break-ins and impact damage nearly always turn into claims. Photographs of the damage, the measurements, the glass specification and the finished installation give you a clean file to hand over.
Common questions
Yes. Emergency board-ups are available 24/7, and the opening is secured first. This is the most time-critical work we do, because an open storefront is an insurance and liability problem for every hour it stays open. The permanent glass replacement is then booked as a follow-up visit.
It depends on the specification. Standard tempered units are usually quick to source. Large, laminated or insulated units take longer. We measure and confirm the lead time up front so you are not left guessing, and the board-up keeps the property secure in the meantime.
Both. Door closers, hinges, locks, panic hardware and ADA-compliant handles are all covered. Hardware failures actually generate more service calls than broken glass does, and a door that will not close properly is both a security and an accessibility problem.
We can assess what your opening is currently rated to and tell you what it needs, and we replace impact-rated glass in an existing frame. Where a job means a new storefront system, it usually needs a building permit and an NOA submittal, and a permit has to be pulled by a licensed contractor. That part we coordinate rather than perform. Either way you get the assessment and one point of contact.
