Morningside Heights sits on the high plateau between Morningside and Riverside Parks, anchored by Columbia University, Barnard, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The neighborhood took shape in the early 1900s, when grand prewar apartment buildings rose along Broadway, Riverside Drive, and Claremont Avenue to house the growing academic community. These six- to twelve-story buildings feature elegant facades, deep courtyards, and rows of original wood double-hung windows, many overlooking the Hudson. Several are now co-ops with their own appearance standards. With strong river-side wind exposure and original single-pane glass, these homes lose heat and admit noise readily. Premium replacements restore comfort and efficiency while preserving the dignified prewar character of the neighborhood.
We deliver window replacement built for the neighborhood’s stately prewar apartment buildings. Our custom wood and aluminum-clad windows match co-op appearance standards and original profiles, including projecting bays, paired with insulated low-E glass that cuts drafts, Broadway noise, and heating costs. We address cold-glass discomfort in steam-heated units and size every replacement to fit generous prewar openings. Each installation is coordinated around building access and service elevators, and our crews work cleanly inside occupied homes.
We will visit your apartment or co-op, take precise measurements, and present window options that cut drafts and noise while improving efficiency.
