Our past clients have been a diverse mix, requiring many different window products. Below are just a few of the projects we are proud to have completed.
Eastern High School
Window Replacement

- Collaboration with architect, general contractor and owner on design/build project
- Certification as a LEED Gold Status
- Removal and disposal of existing windows
- Installation of new windows

Unique Challenges and Success:
When Eastern High School, a historical building in Washington DC, underwent a complete renovation, Clyde McHenry, Inc. was called to work with the architect, general contractor and owner to design and build windows to meet LEED, acoustical and historical requirement. The students were moved into mobile units during construction so it was imperative that all trades move quickly to complete the work by the start of the following school year.
Ft. McNair
Interior Blast Window Installation
Project Features:
- Installation of enhanced energy-efficient windows
- Installation of windows meeting anti-terrorism/force protection and historical requirements
- Installation of blinds on selected windows

Unique Challenges and Success:
Building 59 is a multi-storied building at Ft. McNair. To meet the project requirements, Clyde McHenry, Inc. was required to work in a security clearance zone with the general contractor and the contracting officer. Limited areas for staging called for continuous teamwork and coordination. The project was substantially completed four months ahead of schedule.

Window, Sliding Glass Doors and Storefront Replacement
Project Features:
- Removal and disposal of existing windows
- Removal and disposal of existing doors
- Installation of sliding glass doors

- Installation of storefront doors and sidelites
Unique Challenges and Success:
Park Place Condominiums involved 417 units with 1,020 windows, 351 doors and 7 storefronts. These units were occupied at time of renovation, requiring scheduling of the entire project in advance. Upon completion, less than 8% of the job required punch work.
Main Justice Building
Window Reglaze with Blast-Resistant Glass
Project Features:
- Installation of blast-resistant glass
- Installation of new window hardware where required, matching existing hardware
- Cleaning and restoration of window finish
Unique Challenges and Success:
The Main Justice Building, an historic building, was constructed in 1932. The original hardware and fasteners were no longer on the market. We worked with a manufacturer to fabricate hardware and fasteners to match the originals. Also, we were working in a high-security area, and all of our employees were required to have security clearance.
