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.
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.
Pre-war Landmark cooperative; aluminum projection windows; black with black baked enamel finish, simulated divided grids
Office building, 711 oriel windows, green
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.

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.
Public elementary school, School Construction Authority (SCA) approved, double-hung aluminum windows, light brown
Landmark rental apartments, 3 buildings; 36 wood and 96 aluminum double-hung windows in each building
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.

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.
