Aluminum Facades in Boston

We design, fabricate, and install aluminum facades in Boston and across the broader Greater Boston market. We are a project-based facade partner serving the region, focused on delivering cladding systems built for New England’s demanding climate, Boston’s dense urban construction environment, and the technical expectations of the region’s architecture and construction community.

From lab and life sciences buildings in Kendall Square and the Longwood Medical Area to mixed-use development in the Seaport and South End, institutional projects across the MBTA corridor, and commercial construction in Cambridge, Somerville, Waltham, and the wider metro, we work with architects, contractors, and building owners to deliver facade systems that perform for the life of the building.

A facade partner for the Boston metro

Greater Boston is a technically demanding market. The concentration of institutional clients - universities, hospitals, biotechnology campuses - means facades are specified with a long service life in mind, and the scrutiny on details is correspondingly high. We bring engineering coordination and in-house fabrication precision to projects where the specification is taken seriously.

• Design and engineering - system selection, freeze-thaw and moisture detailing, Massachusetts energy code review, and shop drawings coordinated with your project team.
• In-house fabrication - panels and extrusions fabricated to close tolerances and scheduled around your construction sequence.
• Installation - experienced crews delivering code-compliant, weather-resistant rainscreen assemblies in Boston’s dense urban construction environment.

Built for Boston conditions

New England’s climate and the specific conditions of the Boston metro place real demands on the building envelope.

• Freeze-thaw cycling. Boston winters deliver repeated freeze-thaw cycles over an extended season. Joints, drainage openings, and horizontal ledge conditions in the facade must accommodate ice formation without trapping water against the wall assembly. We design aluminum cladding systems with proper drainage continuity and joint geometry that prevents ice damming.
• Snow and wind loads. Massachusetts building code sets significant snow load requirements for exposed horizontal surfaces and canopies. Wind exposure at coastal sites - particularly in the Seaport and along the waterfront - requires structural subframing and panel anchoring reviewed for local pressure design values.
• Coastal salt exposure. Boston’s waterfront and harbor-adjacent sites are subject to salt air that accelerates corrosion in less resistant metals. Aluminum’s inherent corrosion resistance is a practical advantage here, and coating and hardware selection is calibrated for coastal exposure.
• Dense urban logistics. Boston’s compact street grid, narrow sites, and limited laydown areas require careful planning of material deliveries and crane scheduling. We sequence fabrication and delivery to the site’s access realities rather than a generic logistics plan.

Systems we deliver

Aluminum panels serve Boston’s institutional, life sciences, and commercial projects - providing the flat, precise finish that holds up under scrutiny and in the climate. Aluminum wall cladding covers broad elevations with consistent moisture management performance, aluminum battens add depth and articulation, and aluminum soffits finish canopies and covered entries.
