What Glassolutions does
Glassolutions Unlimited Corporation is a privately held, family-owned architectural glass and metal contractor headquartered in Newburgh, New York, with a second retail showroom in Bedford Hills, New York. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom glass and metal products for both residential and commercial end-markets across the New York tri-state area, serving homeowners in the Lower Hudson Valley and a range of commercial customers including hospitality, retail, restaurants, office buildings, schools, government facilities, and healthcare and fitness venues. Its product portfolio spans shower enclosures, custom mirrors, residential and commercial windows and doors, skylights, glass railings, exterior and interior enclosures, and specialty glass (soundproof, privacy/smart, fire-rated, laminated), as well as commercial curtain wall systems, storefronts and entrances, glass partitions, and commercial glass railings.
The company's underlying capability is an in-house design-to-installation workflow, including CAD-generated shop drawings, in-house fabrication of aluminum curtain wall and storefronts, OSHA-certified installers, LEED project experience, and a distribution agreement with Arcadia Custom for premium residential windows and doors. It maintains subcontractor relationships with multiple tier-one New York City general contractors, including Shawmut, Andron Construction, PC Construction, AECOM Tishman, and Lendlease, and has delivered visible commercial projects for end-customers such as Conrad Hotel NYC, the Harry Potter Store NYC flagship, Hudson Yards' Little Mercado, Union Square Cafe, Sant Ambroeus, Daily Provisions, Somers NY High School, and Westchester County Airport.
Glassolutions earns revenue through project-based, custom-quoted contracts with no public pricing; the process runs from initial design consultation through free on-site estimates, fabrication, and installation. It distributes exclusively through direct channels — its two physical locations and a commercial field sales team — and markets itself via a website, blog content, and a presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Houzz. The business is family-led by George Distefano and has operated continuously under either the Real Glass Company or Glassolutions Unlimited name since 1954.

Glassolutions competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- W&W Glass, LLC: New York-area commercial glazing contractor specializing in storefronts, curtain walls, entrances, and architectural glass installations. Directly comparable as a regional NYC commercial glazing competitor with overlapping customer base (developers, GCs, architects) and similar product lines (storefront systems, curtain walls, glass entrances).
- Enclos Corporation: Specialty glazing contractor focused on custom curtain wall and glass facade systems for high-rise commercial buildings. Comparable to Glassolutions' commercial curtain wall and storefront work, though Enclos operates at significantly larger scale on signature architectural projects nationally.
- Glass Doctor: National franchise specializing in residential and auto glass repair, replacement, and custom glass services including shower enclosures and window glass. Comparable to Glassolutions in custom residential glass installation with overlap on shower doors, mirrors, and insulated glass units.
- The Glass Guru: Franchise network specializing in residential and light commercial glass repair, replacement, and custom solutions (shower enclosures, mirrors, windows). Comparable to Glassolutions' residential shower enclosure and custom mirror offerings, particularly as a smaller-scale competitor targeting homeowners.
- Aldora Glass & Mirror Products: Regional architectural glass fabricator serving the Eastern U.S. with fabricated glass products for commercial storefronts, entrances, and interior applications. Comparable to Glassolutions as a fabricator-installer focused on architectural glass for commercial clients, with similar custom fabrication capabilities.
- Harmon, Inc. Full-service commercial glazing contractor (part of Apogee Enterprises) offering design, fabrication, and installation of curtain walls, storefronts, and architectural glass. Overlaps with Glassolutions' commercial GTM and product lines, though with substantially broader geography and capacity.
Broad incumbents
- Binswanger Glass: One of the largest full-service glass companies in the U.S. with retail, fabrication, and installation operations across multiple states. Comparable to Glassolutions in offering both residential and commercial custom glass solutions with design-fabricate-install service, but operates at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
- Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope: Large North American supplier and installer of architectural glass, aluminum framing systems, storefronts, and curtain walls. Comparable to Glassolutions across both residential and commercial lines as a broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities at national scale.
- Pella Corporation: Large national manufacturer of residential and commercial windows and doors with installation services. Overlaps with Glassolutions' windows and doors line (including premium products via Arcadia Custom partnership), but at vastly greater scale and through a national dealer/installer network.
- Renewal by Andersen: National franchise of Andersen Windows focused on replacement windows and doors for residential customers. Comparable to Glassolutions' residential windows and doors offering, particularly in the premium custom replacement segment where Glassolutions competes with its Arcadia Custom distribution partnership.
