Window panel above exterior door
Hi – looking to get a window pane for the area above our exterior front door on the second floor of the brownstone. It’s currently a piece of ugly wood ? . I’d love to replace it with a simple glass window like essentially every other home. Nothing fancy or expensive. Anyone have any recs or experience doing this? I know nothing about it. Thanks!

there used to be a glass shop on 5th i really liked. the rent went up and they moved out but are still in business. just no more store front. maybe 5th ave glass? it had been right by bergan, around the corner from pinchick.

Hi all, thanks for the updates. I’m not even sure who or what to Google, so does anyone have any repair shops to look into? Or people? I won’t bug you if you’re busy Steve. And unfortunately, I think it’s just the piece of wood. I wish it was something more exciting!

Maybe behind that wood panel is the original window pane if you’re lucky or hopefully at least the trim/ frame

cate; people who think what i do is tricky are what keeps me in business. climbing up the ladder with a 48″ wide piece of glass is the only tricky part.

I was going to say it’s surprisingly tricky, lol. Search online — there are glass repair shops in Brooklyn that do this all day long and they are not all that expensive.

i change the glass and sometimes trim in these quite often when i rebuild doors. but i am so busy right now i should not be putting my name out there any further than it is..
its easy to do if the existing frame is intact. and if you have the trim, it gets easier.
