Ulster County, NY
Commercial and residential glass for Kingston, New Paltz, and all of Ulster County — measured on site, fabricated to fit.
Ulster County runs from the Hudson River at Kingston west into the Catskill Mountains — a county that combines a working waterfront city, a college town with a strong commercial corridor, a cluster of historic river towns, and a broad rural interior that supports both residential renovation work and rural commercial glass needs. Nu-Glass & Storefronts serves Ulster County businesses and homeowners from our Newburgh shop, typically 20-40 minutes from most Ulster County locations depending on the community.
Kingston is Ulster County's largest city and its economic hub — the Stockade District's historic commercial buildings, the emerging creative economy around the waterfront, and the Route 9W and Broadway commercial corridors all generate regular commercial glass demand. New Paltz, anchored by SUNY New Paltz, has a dense Main Street commercial zone and a surrounding area with strong residential renovation activity. The river towns of Saugerties, Rhinebeck, and Woodstock each bring their own mix of commercial and residential work — historic storefronts, older housing with original or early-replacement windows, and the boutique hospitality sector that has grown steadily through the county.
Ulster County's commercial glass market spans urban renewal projects in Kingston, retail buildouts in New Paltz, and the ongoing maintenance needs of the county's hospitality, food and beverage, and retail sectors. Historic commercial buildings throughout the county — in Saugerties, Woodstock, Ellenville, and the Kingston Stockade — often require non-standard glass sizes and careful work that doesn't compromise historic character.
Nu-Glass provides the full range of commercial glazing for Ulster County: new aluminum storefront systems, storefront glass repair and emergency board-up, commercial aluminum entrance doors and ADA-compliant hardware, insulated and plate glass replacement for commercial buildings, office glass partitions, safety glass for code-required applications, and bullet-resistant glazing for high-security environments. Owner Rick Powles coordinates directly on commercial projects of all scales.
Ulster County's residential market is rich with historic homes — 19th-century farmhouses in the rural townships, Victorian-era housing in the village centers, mid-century housing in the suburban rings around Kingston and New Paltz, and the active renovation market that has been growing through the county for over a decade. Glass work here includes frameless shower enclosures for bathroom renovations, custom mirrors for vanity and living area upgrades, insulated glass unit replacement in aging double-pane windows, patio door glass replacement, and the careful window glass repair that older homes require.
We measure every residential job on site — Rick Powles takes the measurements himself — and fabricate to your exact dimensions. Non-standard openings in historic homes are not a problem; that's the routine work in Ulster County's older housing stock.
Our shop in Newburgh puts us 20-25 minutes from New Paltz via the Mid-Hudson Bridge and Route 299, and 35-40 minutes from Kingston via Route 9W or 299. We've been running that route for residential and commercial customers in Ulster County for over 35 years. When Ulster County customers call, they get Rick Powles on the phone and on the job — not a dispatcher routing a subcontractor. That direct accountability is what keeps customers in Kingston, New Paltz, and Saugerties calling us back.
We serve all of Ulster County including Kingston, New Paltz, Saugerties, Woodstock, Ellenville, Highland, Milton, Marlboro, Wallkill, Gardiner, Rosendale, Stone Ridge, High Falls, Hurley, and surrounding communities throughout the county.
