Multi-story brownstones and pre-war buildings in Harlem have unique window layouts: high stoops, bay windows, interior storm frames, and recessed sills.

Building types: brownstones, townhouses, walk-ups, high-rises near Central Park North, pre-war apartment buildings. We handle all standard and specialty window types.
