Owner-operated commercial window specialists since 1984

Commercial window replacement in Manhattan

From Fifth Avenue co-ops to Midtown office towers and East River high-rises, AirGuard has replaced windows on some of Manhattan's most demanding buildings since 1984.

Manhattan window programs come with constraints no suburban job has: occupied apartments, landmark façades, tight sidewalk logistics, façade-consultant requirements, and zero tolerance for schedule slips. We've engineered around all of them.

At Waterside Plaza we replaced 6,000 windows across four 37-story towers in under seven months, using an interlocking system we designed so each opening could be installed on its own date. At the Schwab House we handled ~5,000 windows and 50 balcony doors at an occupied Upper West Side co-op. We bring that same playbook to your building.

As an owner-operated firm, the decision-maker is on site — not a subcontractor three layers removed.
