FEATURED PROJECT
Rowes Wharf
A & A Window Products handles commercial glazing, complex window installations, and building envelope maintenance for The Residences at Rowes Wharf, one of Boston’s most prominent waterfront landmarks. The maintenance scope includes window replacements, storefront installations, and curtainwall. These included high-rise curtainwall as well as curtainwall down along the waterfront at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille. The project required installations engineered to withstand the severe coastal weather and high wind loads of the Boston Harbor. Uniquely, this project involved the use of a boat crane due to its harbor location. By executing complex, unit-by-unit installations scheduled tightly around high-end residents to minimize tenant disruption, A & A Window Products demonstrated expertise in occupied building coordination.
Service Overview
Phased, resident-conscious window replacement and glazing work for occupied condominium buildings — from single-floor upgrades to full-building envelope projects.
A & A Window Products plans and installs window replacement and glazing systems for occupied condominium and residential high-rise buildings throughout New England. We work directly with condominium associations, property managers, building owners, and general contractors to deliver projects that maintain resident safety, minimize daily disruption, and meet the technical demands of multi-unit residential construction.

- Code compliance and energy performance requirements
- Watertight, thermally efficient window and glazing systems
- Long-term building envelope performance
We coordinate all aspects of the work — from shop drawings and material staging to phased installation and unit-by-unit closeout — ensuring consistent quality across every floor and unit.

Why A&A Window Products
Experience in Occupied Residential Buildings
We have a proven track record coordinating window replacement and glazing work in active, occupied buildings — including high-rise residential towers — where resident schedules, unit access, and building operations must be carefully managed throughout construction.
Phased Scheduling & Logistics Control
Multi-unit condominium projects require precise sequencing, floor-by-floor coordination, and ongoing communication with property managers and building staff. Our project management team plans material delivery, staging, and installation sequences to keep the project moving without disrupting daily building life.
In-House Fabrication
Custom window and glazing units are fabricated at our 16,000-square-foot Woburn facility, allowing us to control production schedules, match existing profiles, and respond to field conditions without relying on outside fabricators.
Union-Trained Installation Workforce
Our glaziers and carpenters are trained through the Finishing Trades Institute of New England and the North Atlantic Carpenters Training Center, bringing the field experience and professionalism required for sensitive residential environments.
Established Since 1954
Decades of commercial and residential high-rise glazing experience across New England's most demanding building environments.

Performance & Compliance Considerations
Window and glazing systems in occupied condominium buildings must meet strict performance and regulatory standards, including:
- Energy code compliance for residential and mixed-use buildings
- Air and water infiltration resistance
- Thermal performance and condensation control
- Safety glazing requirements at applicable locations
- ADA accessibility standards at entrances and common areas
- Egress requirements at operable windows and doors
- Noise and weather protection for units during phased installation
Our team evaluates long-term performance, building envelope continuity, and lifecycle cost when specifying and fabricating systems for multi-unit residential projects.
