What element13 facades does

Element13 Facades is a privately held commercial glazing subcontractor headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, founded in 2019 by Jason Nimmo. The company designs, fabricates, installs, repairs, and retrofits commercial glass and facade systems — including curtain walls, storefronts, doors and entrances, insulated glass units (IGUs), interior partitions, specialty/architectural assemblies, and custom aluminum framing — for new construction and existing buildings across the Denver metro area and Colorado Front Range.

Its operations are anchored by a Glaziers Union partnership supplying certified journeyman glaziers and by in-house fabrication capabilities covering custom glass cutting, drilling, edgework, templating, and hardware sourcing. Core offerings span design-assist and preconstruction estimating, exterior and interior glazing installation, repair and replacement, urgent glass response, and energy-efficient retrofits. The company holds NACC certification as well as DBE, EBE, and WMBE classifications, positioning it for both private commercial and public-sector pre-qualification.

Commercially, Element13 operates an enterprise field-sales motion targeting general contractors on new construction (Mortenson, Haselden, Whiting-Turner, GE Johnson, JE Dunn, Beck, Saunders, Opus) and a parallel direct-engagement motion with property managers for recurring repair, maintenance, and retrofit work. Revenue is project-based under multi-year contract terms, with pricing quoted per scope and no published rate card. Distribution is regional (Colorado only) and channel-light, relying on direct relationships, GC pre-qualification, certifications as trust signals, and SEO-optimized service-area pages.
