About Paneworks

What Paneworks is (and what we’re not)

Paneworks helps businesses and building teams understand commercial/architectural glazing scope and get matched with a licensed, insured commercial glass & glazing contractor.

We’re not a glass or glazing company, and we don’t install, repair, or fabricate anything. We also don’t provide structural, code, electrical, legal, or engineering advice. Our job is to connect you with qualified professionals and help you ask the right questions for your project.

Who we help

Paneworks is built for people managing real building work across the United States—especially when the project involves complex glass systems and documentation.

We help:

• Business owners and operators planning storefront or entry glazing

• Property owners and building managers handling ongoing building needs

• General contractors coordinating subcontractor glazing work

• Architects and design teams supporting specification and procurement

• New immigrants and non-native English speakers who may need clearer guidance during the bidding and contractor selection process

How matching works (in plain terms)

Your project is glazing-focused. We ask for business contact and project details—what you’re building or updating, where it is (ZIP), and a rough sense of size (like square footage or number of stories).

Then we help you connect with a licensed, insured commercial glazing contractor who can review the scope, handle the work safely, and provide pricing and scheduling for your specific project.

If you want the step-by-step overview, see How it works and Get matched.

Why Paneworks is free for you

Paneworks is free for the reader. You don’t pay Paneworks to submit your project request, request contractor outreach, or receive recommendations.

Licensed glazing contractors who choose to participate pay a flat fee to be matched. That fee is not a “cut of your job,” and it never changes your project cost or our guidance.

Our principles: practical, careful, and document-driven

Glazing is specialized work. It’s heavy, it’s often high-rise, and it must meet safety requirements and building expectations. So we follow clear principles:

• No overselling: We focus on helping you understand scope and options, not pushing you toward a decision.

• Hire the right license and coverage: We encourage you to work with contractors that are properly licensed, insured, and bonded where required in your area.

• Get specs and pricing in writing: Glazing projects depend on the details—glass type, system type, hardware, finishes, and safety requirements. Written documentation helps reduce misunderstandings.

• Share the right level of information: We keep requests focused on project needs, not personal or sensitive information.

Because code, materials, and timelines vary by jurisdiction and project type, we treat outcomes as project-specific and between you and your qualified contractor.

What to expect next

If you’re preparing a bid, planning a retrofit, or coordinating an entry or façade project, Paneworks can help you move forward with a clearer process.

When you request help, you’ll be guided to share the basics of your glazing scope. From there, we connect you with a licensed commercial glazing contractor who can evaluate your project and provide the details you need for budgeting and scheduling.
