Long Beach Elite Windows provides professional custom window installation in Long Beach, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Bay and Greater Long Beach. Long Beach has the shapes. Spanish Colonial Revival elevations put round-tops over entries and arcaded openings along a porch, and the Craftsman stock carries transom bands and real muntin grids. None of that is ordered from a size chart.
Templating a revival arch is slower than it looks. These heads were struck on site by a plasterer, so the left half and the right half of the same arch frequently differ, and the correct unit follows the opening rather than the geometry somebody intended. We template in sheet material and mark the high side.
Simulated divided lites with a spacer bar between the panes throw a real shadow line, and that is what gives a Spanish Colonial Revival or Craftsman elevation the muntin reading it needs. A true divided sash is available, costs more, and adds seal length at every bar, which is a trade worth making deliberately rather than by default.
Oversized fixed glass is the other half of the work, and it is a fabrication job before it is an installation job. A large tempered lite is made to order, so if someone promises you a same-day permanent replacement on one, ask them where they are getting the glass. Broken lites get boarded the same day and replaced permanently once the custom glass arrives.
Anodized and custom powder-coated finishes add lead time on top of that, and we say so at the quote rather than at week five. Nothing about a one-off compresses to suit a schedule.
Access gets settled at the same time. An arcaded porch opening or a second-story arch over a stair has a route and a weight, and a large lite near the water also needs its hardware named in the scope, because chloride-laden air works on fasteners and balances long before it reaches the glass.
Process here is kinder than most of the state. Replacement sits on the Building and Safety Bureau's express list, with no plan check, and the contractor pulls it online. That holds for work inside the existing opening.
Change the opening and you change the job. Cutting a head up to take an arch brings a header, framing and the review that goes with them, which is no longer an express permit. We settle which side of that line your project is on before anything is templated.
The consequence of custom is the same everywhere and worth repeating here. Nobody stocks a unit built to your template, so a damaged arrival restarts the build and a failed sash years out is another order rather than a part off a shelf.
Our recommendation: where the frame is sound and the sash still runs, reglaze the existing sash and keep the original profile, which on this stock is usually better than anything you can buy. Order the custom unit for the arch and the oversized lite, and let the rectangles be rectangles.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — aluminum storefront and curtain wall glazing, laminated acoustic glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, marine-grade and stainless window hardware, anodized and powder-coated aluminum finishes, soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units with warm-edge spacers — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Long Beach and nearby communities including Lakewood, Signal Hill, Carson, Torrance.

Materials, equipment and how we do custom window installation
The difference between custom window installation that lasts and custom window installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with aluminum storefront and curtain wall glazing, laminated acoustic glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, marine-grade and stainless window hardware, anodized and powder-coated aluminum finishes, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Long Beach job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in the South Bay and Greater Long Beach means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
