Glass Replacement

Southwest Portland, above Macadam & the Water Tower district.

A glass replacement job with some logistical challenges related to height & gravity.

Sure, there’s always scaffold. Although one would be risking their life & limb just in trying to get the scaffold down there to set it up.

Fortunately, decades of experience afford us opportunity to consider alternative options.

The only reason we had need to access the exterior on this particular project had to do with the vinyl snap-bead on the exterior.

To remove it and then to re-install it. Now as you can see, this was Nate’s sole function in our company…to provide a counter-balance …

…against falling out of a window by grabbing your harness & stepping on your feet.

We jest of course. This here was probably the scariest and most difficult aspect of the project.

Pushing the original glass out, after cutting the glazing-tape, turning it into position to pull it back into the house…

…and then lifting the new glass out through the same opening, rotating it & then pulling it back against the jamb & the newly applied glazing tape.
