Cut and fit capping, angles, tubes, panels, panning, and other extrusions; complete trimming of panning.
Caulk and silicone frames, perimeters, and joints to a clean, finished, watertight condition.
Cap and trim out openings so the finished work is presentable to a homeowner or building owner.
Perform adjustments, troubleshooting, and repair; correct punch-list and warranty items to the customer’s satisfaction.
Read and work from approved shop drawings, elevations, and installation details.
Set up material and plan the next day’s work to ensure the crew starts productive.

Perform all duties in accordance with OSHA and NYC DOB standards.
Proper use of fall protection, staging, and PPE when working at elevation.

Familiar with commercial and residential window types (double hung, casement, slider, tilt-and-turn, terrace doors) and their hardware systems.
Proven caulking and weatherproofing ability — clean, finished, watertight joints.
Able to read shop drawings and detailed work orders.
Experience setting benchmarks and layout with a laser level.
Working knowledge of hand and power tools — hammer, pry bar, chisel, pinch bar, hack saw, lump hammer, and other rip-out tools.
