Retail Storefront Construction in Plano, TX
Full-service general contractor delivering retail storefront construction for developers, property owners, and facility managers across North Texas. Direct communication, single-source accountability, and 20+ years of commercial construction experience.
Retail storefront construction creates the critical customer entry and storefront systems that define brand identity and welcome customers into retail environments throughout North Texas. As your general contractor, we install complete storefront systems—from aluminum framing and glazing through automatic doors and security features—delivering entrances that combine aesthetic appeal with operational functionality and code compliance.
Storefront systems serve multiple critical functions beyond simple entry. Brand identity relies heavily on storefront appearance and materials. Security systems protect inventory after hours. ADA compliance governs door operation and accessibility. Energy codes dictate glazing performance. Our teams coordinate these requirements delivering storefronts that satisfy all stakeholders while creating positive first impressions.
Storefront construction requires specialized expertise and coordination. Aluminum systems need proper engineering for wind loads and structural adequacy. Glazing must meet energy codes and security requirements. Automatic door operators require electrical coordination and testing. Sealing and weatherproofing prevent water infiltration. We manage these technical requirements delivering weather-tight, code-compliant storefronts.
For retail property owners and tenants, storefront quality affects customer traffic, security, and energy costs. Attractive storefronts draw customers and support brand image. Secure systems protect inventory. Energy-efficient glazing reduces HVAC costs. We install storefront systems that enhance retail operations while protecting long-term investments.

Retail Storefront Construction FAQs
What storefront systems do you install for retail buildings?
We install aluminum storefront framing systems, tempered and insulated glazing, aluminum entry doors and automatic operators, panic hardware and access control, curtain wall systems for larger openings, and security gates or rolling shutters when required. Systems are selected based on tenant requirements, building codes, and budget.
How long does storefront installation typically take?
Timeline depends on storefront size and complexity. Simple single-door entry might install in 2-3 days. Large multi-bay storefront with automatic doors takes 1-2 weeks. Custom curtain wall systems require longer fabrication and installation periods. We coordinate timing with overall construction schedule.
Can storefronts be replaced in operating shopping centers?
Yes. We regularly replace storefronts in operating centers. Work is scheduled to minimize business disruption—often completed during night hours for stores requiring continuous access. Temporary closures arranged when needed. Weather protection maintained throughout installation.
What makes storefronts energy efficient?
Energy-efficient storefronts use thermally broken aluminum frames preventing heat transfer, low-E insulated glass reducing heat gain/loss, properly sealed joints preventing air infiltration, and appropriate door closers and seals. These features reduce HVAC loads while meeting energy codes and providing comfort.
