We are a family-run glass shop in Rosemead, licensed C-17 (#1007507) and fully insured, and about half of our work is commercial. We know the aluminum storefront systems most buildings use, keep common gaskets and door hardware on hand, and schedule around your open hours instead of asking you to close.
Common sizes of tempered and laminated glass are often replaced in 1-2 days. Custom insulated units take longer because they are built to order; while you wait, we board up the opening so the store stays secure. Estimates are free, from photos or on site.
Glass types and door repairs
After a break-in or an impact
Call (626) 571-0135 and text a photo of the opening with a rough width and height. If the glass has to be ordered, we board up the opening with plywood cut and fastened to the frame, so the storefront is secure the same day and the door still locks.
We measure the daylight opening and the glazing pocket, check the aluminum for damage and note the glass type. If the frame is bent we tell you before ordering glass; a bent stop is often repairable, but a racked frame has to be reset for the new glass to seat.
You get a written estimate listing the glass, the thickness and the turnaround. For an insurance claim we add photos of the damage and the measurements; you submit the claim and we answer the adjuster’s questions about the scope.
Common sizes of 1/4-inch tempered or laminated glass are often installed in 1-2 days. Custom insulated units and oversized lites take longer because they are built to order, and we give you the expected date when you approve the estimate.

Questions customers ask
Can you fix my storefront door instead of replacing it?
Usually. Most door complaints come down to the closer, the pivots or the lock, and all three can be replaced on the existing door. We recommend a new door when the stile is cracked, the frame is racked, or the door has been forced hard enough to tear the hinge side.
What glass do I need in a storefront door?
Glass in a door, and glass right next to it, counts as a hazardous location under the building code and has to be safety glass: tempered or laminated. Most storefront doors use 1/4-inch tempered, stamped in the corner by the manufacturer.
How long does a custom insulated unit take?
Longer than single-pane glass. Insulated units are built to your exact size by the fabricator, so the lead time depends on the size and the glass type. We give you the expected date with the estimate and board up the opening while you wait.
What drives the price?
Glass type (tempered, laminated or insulated), size, standard or custom, the condition of the frame and gaskets, and access. Door work depends on the hardware: a closer or a lock is a parts-and-labor repair; a new door with a frame is a bigger job.
Will you work around our business hours?
Yes. Tell us when the store is quiet and we schedule around it: before opening, mid-afternoon or after close. Office hours are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-2pm; after-hours service is available, call to confirm.
Do I need a permit to replace storefront glass?
Replacing glass in an existing frame, like for like, normally does not require a permit. Changing the storefront framing, moving a door or altering an exit door can involve the city, and we will tell you if your job does.
