ANTI-GRAFFITI FILM WINDOW FILM INSTALLATION (GRAFFITIGARD®)
It is extremely important to have your windows protected against vandals who might damage your storefront glass with graffiti or scratches. Installing an anti-graffiti window film on your glass is one of the most affordable ways of protecting storefront glass. It is a clear, easy to remove plastic coating that is hardly noticeable on glass panes. This kind of protection is currently installed on thousands or storefronts all over the city. Many famous stores such as Apple in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Adidas at Houston Street in Manhattan are using this kind of glass protection. We use only top-quality products that are covered with a warranty.
SAFETY WINDOW FILM INSTALLATION (ARMORCOAT®)
We can help you improve the security of your store by applying safety window film. It is an optically clear and removable product that acts as a sacrificial barrier to protect your property from break-ins or even hurricane-force winds. Armorcoat has been installed on government buildings, such as the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the FBI headquarters, and many others.
GLASS REPLACEMENT SERVICE
If your storefront glass has been severely damaged to the point where repairs won’t help, then the only thing you can do is to replace it. We have added this type of service to offer our customers a complete solution and make our company your one-stop destination for maintaining all of your storefront needs. For more details please give us a call or email us to request an on-site estimate.

How often should NYC retail storefronts have their windows professionally cleaned to maintain a strong first impression?
For most NYC retail storefronts in high-foot-traffic areas – such as those on Broadway, Fifth Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, or busy neighborhood shopping streets – we recommend weekly or bi-weekly cleaning. Ground-level storefront glass accumulates fingerprints, exhaust film, food splatter, and street dust at a much faster rate than upper-floor commercial windows. Storefronts near construction sites, subway entrances, or bus stops soil faster still. We offer recurring service contracts for NYC businesses that want consistent results without having to schedule each visit – you set the frequency, we handle the rest on a reliable schedule.
Can storefront window cleaning be scheduled before or after business hours to avoid disrupting customers and staff?
Yes – and this is standard practice for most of our NYC retail and restaurant clients. We offer early morning slots before store opening, late evening slots after closing, and weekend scheduling depending on your location and access requirements. For storefronts with interior cleaning needs – including lobby glass, entry vestibules, and display windows cleaned from inside – we coordinate directly with the store manager or building super to arrange access at the time that causes least disruption to operations. Commercial clients on recurring contracts receive priority scheduling.
Does your team clean storefront frames, door glass, and exterior signage in addition to the main window panes?
Yes. A full storefront cleaning includes the glass panes, aluminum or steel frames, door glass and push bars, transom windows above the entrance, and any glass or acrylic signage panels. Frames and door surrounds accumulate grime, oxidation, and biological deposits that make even clean glass look neglected if the surrounding surfaces are ignored. For storefronts with brass or stainless steel entrance details, we use appropriate metal-safe cleaning agents that remove tarnish without scratching the finish. The scope of each job is confirmed during the estimate so you know exactly what will be covered.
What documentation do you provide to NYC commercial landlords and retail tenants who require proof of insurance before authorizing storefront window work?
We provide a full documentation package for commercial clients and landlords on request – Certificate of Insurance naming the building owner or management company as additionally insured ($10M general liability + $5M umbrella), W-9, and any service agreement or scope-of-work letter required by the lease or building management. We are familiar with the documentation requirements of NYC commercial property management companies and can typically turn around a COI within one business day of receiving the request. This eliminates the back-and-forth that often delays the start of exterior storefront work on managed properties.
If my NYC storefront window has been repeatedly scratched or vandalized, at what point is glass restoration no longer viable and replacement becomes necessary?
The threshold depends on scratch depth, surface area affected, and the optical clarity required. Surface-level scratches – including most acid graffiti etching and minor vandalism – are restorable using the Glass Renu micro-grinding system with cerium oxide polishing, which removes material from the damaged layer without visible distortion to the glass. Deep gouges that penetrate through multiple millimeters of glass, or damage that covers more than approximately 30-40% of a single pane, may result in optical distortion after restoration that makes replacement the better outcome. We assess this honestly during the estimate – restoration is significantly less expensive than replacement, but we only recommend it when the result will genuinely meet your standard for storefront presentation.
How long does Solar Gard Armorcoat safety film installation take on a typical NYC storefront, and does the store need to close during the job?
A standard NYC storefront with 2 to 4 large ground-level panes typically takes 3 to 5 hours for Armorcoat installation. In most cases the store does not need to close – we work from the interior side of the glass, require only normal access to the window area, and keep the work zone contained and clean throughout. After installation, the film has a curing period during which minor hazing or small bubbles may be visible – this is normal and resolves within 30 to 90 days depending on film thickness. Andriy Mykyta completed manufacturer technical consultation training on Armorcoat Safety and Security Film directly through Solar Gard in February 2022, so installation is carried out by someone with factory-level product knowledge.
