Commercial windows - Leak repair in Dallas, TX

Commercial windows - Leak repair in Dallas, TX

All,

I have a townhouse property with large commercial style windows on the front (Think 18ft H x 12ft W). These are large aluminum frames, like you'd find in store fronts. I don't have a pic, but here's an example:

The problem is that when it rains, the windows leak from the bottom of the frames into the house. It's not a rapid flood, just enough to get the window sill damp.

I'm having a hard time finding qualified window companies to work on them. All the companies I've dealt with in the past are good with residential style windows, but when I tell them about these, the say they don't have any experience with them. I've tried 5 already, so I decided to try my luck here.

Does anyone have a good commercial style/store front window glass companies they deal with in Dallas/Ft Worth area?

Thanks,

Fouad

    @Fouad J. I know nothing about windows. What I offer would be what I would do if no one posts any direct assistance.

    Find the manufacture of your window. Hopefully they were proud enough of their work to put their name on it. Once you find the manufacturer then ask them for local reps who service their product. I would not tell them they are leaking just yet. 

    Another option is to find out from the local building department who the builder was and then chase them down for the window company.

    Lastly do some driving for dollars. Drive around looking for large windows and then ask who installed them and who services them. This is a really long shot. I would focus on new buildings. Look for new construction and find out who is doing the new windows. They might know who to steer you toward to get help with your situation.

    @Fouad J., google commercial contractors, call some and ask who they use for windows. They should be working with commercial glass companies who know how to repair windows like yours.
