Fifth Avenue
Heritage Towers
Twin towers; openings enlarged while occupied.
Replacing windows without moving residents out is the hardest version of this work — and it's exactly what AirGuard is known for.
Most contractors avoid occupied buildings. We've built our reputation on them. The key is sequencing: we plan the install opening-by-opening so each unit is worked and secured within hours, and residents return the same day to brand-new windows.
At Bella Vista, a senior residence, occupants were displaced for only 5–7 hours. At the Heritage Towers on Fifth Avenue we enlarged half the openings in height while the building stayed fully occupied, coordinated alongside an exterior restoration.
Clean, secure, and predictable — that's how you keep a board and its residents happy through a building-wide program.
