Projects and solutions

Here are some of the buildings in which Ross Windows has replaced a total of more than 3 million windows.

Along with the images, which are displayed in random order, you’ll be able to see some examples of how we’ve taken the initiative to create solutions to the types of challenges you may face—with the properties you own or manage.

Ross Windows project
166 West 75th Street, Manhattan

Landmark cooperative, 500+ double-hung windows, Landmark-approved grids and panning (Color- Custom)

HOW WE HELPED

This is a Landmark single-room-occupancy building. The rules require wood frames on the face of the building and aluminum on the sides and back. When we contracted to replace the windows in the building, the owner’s architect needed to get approval from the Landmark Preservation Commission. It took him more than a year to get that approval. As soon as he did, we were there to start the job.

120 Bloomingdale Road, White Plains

Office building, 711 oriel windows, green

Ross Windows project
505 8th Avenue, Manhattan

Office building, 1,000 aluminum double-hung windows

HOW WE HELPED

This is a job that we were asked to take over after another company had failed to complete the work. We did one floor at a time as space became vacant. For some reason, the building was constructed with an air shaft right in the front, overlooking the sidewalk. It was extremely unattractive. We came up with the idea of putting dark tinted film over the glass in front of the air shaft. As a result of doing that, the building looks much better than it did, and the management company was ecstatic.

HOW WE HELPED

At the left is a still shot taken from a Westchester News 12 video announcing the opening of Ludlow Commons, a new affordable housing venture in Yonkers. Thanks to Westhab, a not-for-profit provider of housing and social services in Westchester, N.Y., some 600 seniors have beautiful new apartments that they otherwise never would have been able to afford. We are delighted to have provided and installed the windows for Ludlow Commons.

Ross Windows project
500 Bridgewater Court, Brooklyn

Residential cooperative, 1,000+ aluminum Landmark approved double-hung windows with Landmark grids, terrace doors

HOW WE HELPED

This building is located in an extremely windy area. We were asked to replace not only 1,024 windows, but also 192 doors. We noticed that the frames on the swing doors on the building’s terraces had been damaged by wind. So we installed brackets with bumpers to protect the door closers, which had been breaking for years. The bumpers stopped the breakage.

Ross Windows project

Public elementary school, School Construction Authority (SCA) approved, double-hung aluminum windows, light brown

Ross Windows project

Landmark rental apartments, 3 buildings; 36 wood and 96 aluminum double-hung windows in each building

Ross Windows project
P.S. 206—Joseph F. Lamb School, Brooklyn

Public elementary school, School Construction Authority (SCA) approved, double-hung aluminum windows, beige), Landmark grids

HOW WE HELPED

This was a particularly memorable job. The windows in this five-story elementary school were huge and extremely heavy. Moreover, the building did not have elevators. So we needed to hire a crane to lift the windows onto each floor.

Ross Windows project
200 Varick Street

Office building—1600 aluminum windows; double-hung, bronze, with picture window on top

HOW WE HELPED

When we began working on this occupied downtown Manhattan office building, we learned that because of noise restrictions on one side of the building, we only were allowed to work between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., as well as on Saturdays. The front of the building, however, was unoccupied, so we could work there 24/7. Even with the tight schedule restrictions, we finished the job on budget and on time.
