About Paneworks

Paneworks is a free matching service. We help businesses, property owners, building managers, general contractors, architects, and other commercial buyers connect with licensed commercial glass and glazing contractors in the United States.

We are not a glass, glazing, or construction company. We do not fabricate, install, repair, inspect, supervise, manage, or warrant storefront systems, curtain walls, window walls, glass railings, glass partitions, commercial windows and doors, entrances, or other architectural glazing systems.

Any information on this website is general and educational. It is not project-specific structural, code, legal, engineering, electrical, safety, or professional advice.

What our service does — and does not do

Our service is to review the project details you choose to share and try to match you with one or more participating commercial glazing contractors. Because contractor availability, licensing, service area, project size, timing, and other factors vary, we cannot promise that a match will always be available.

We do not guarantee any contractor, quote, price, schedule, response time, workmanship, permit result, code outcome, product selection, warranty coverage, or project result. We also do not guarantee that any contractor you contact will accept your project, bid your project, or complete your project.

If you have questions about our service, you can contact us.

Your responsibility before hiring any contractor

You are responsible for evaluating any contractor you choose to contact or hire. Before moving forward, you should verify the contractor's current license status if required in your jurisdiction, insurance, and references, and confirm that the contractor is qualified for your type of commercial glazing project.

You are also responsible for making sure all key project terms are clearly agreed in writing. That includes scope of work, glass type and specification, framing system, finish, dimensions, safety-glass requirements, code compliance responsibilities, permit responsibilities, price, payment terms, lead times, schedule expectations, exclusions, and warranty terms.

Commercial glazing work varies by building type, location, and jurisdiction. Code, testing, structural performance, energy requirements, accessibility rules, and permitting can differ from one project to another.

No professional advice; dangerous work belongs to licensed pros

Commercial and architectural glazing work can involve heavy glass, elevated work, specialized equipment, and code-sensitive assemblies. Storefronts, curtain walls, window walls, commercial doors, entrances, railings, and facade systems should be scoped and performed by properly licensed, insured, and qualified professionals.

Nothing on this website should be understood as installation instructions, safety instructions, engineering direction, code interpretation, legal advice, or a substitute for professional review. You should rely on your own consultants, design professionals, legal advisers, and licensed contractors for project-specific decisions.

Independent contractors

Participating glazing contractors are independent businesses. They are not employees, agents, joint venturers, or representatives of Paneworks.

Paneworks does not control and is not responsible for a contractor's licensing status, insurance status, workforce, subcontractors, methods, safety practices, bidding decisions, contract terms, product choices, schedule, site conduct, permit activity, code compliance, payment disputes, warranty service, or completed work.

Any agreement for project work is solely between you and the contractor you choose.

Limitation of liability

Your use of this website and matching service is at your own discretion. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Paneworks is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or other damages arising from or related to your use of the site, your reliance on general information, any contractor match, your contact with a contractor, or any project, contract, delay, defect, injury, loss, dispute, cost, code issue, permit issue, or business interruption.

We also do not accept responsibility for errors, omissions, availability problems, or delays in website content, form submissions, communications, or contractor responses.

By using this site, you agree that your decision to request a match, communicate with a contractor, request pricing, or hire a contractor is your own business decision.
