Specified Systems Inc., established in 1992 and based in Canonsburg, PA, has emerged as a significant player in the distribution and installation of architectural aluminum windows, storefronts, low-rise aluminum curtain walls, and specialty glazings. Committed to excellence in the commercial construction sector, the company operates across metropolitan Pittsburgh and the broader tri-state area, including parts of southeastern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Maryland.
Specializing in window replacement for various commercial buildings, including those designated by the National Park Service and educational institutions, Specified Systems Inc. distinguishes itself by not acting as a commissioned sales agent, broker, or wholesaler. Instead, the company prides itself on being an erecting distributor that collaborates closely with architects, general contractors, building owners, and facility departments to ensure the right products are specified for each unique application. Their services encompass field engineering, shop drawing generation using CADD, and handling their own engineered orders for window projects.
A vertically integrated operation, Specified Systems does not outsource fabrication. They operate their fabrication shop in Washington, PA, where they custom-manufacture storefronts, curtain walls, and entrance doors, thereby eliminating delays typically caused by reliance on external suppliers. This operational model allows for meticulous quality control and the ability to adapt to changes in field conditions, meeting critical project timelines effectively.
Moreover, the company's direct workforce is responsible for installing all distributed and fabricated products, enhancing their capability to navigate complex logistical considerations inherent in commercial projects. This includes working within occupied buildings and coordinating with other trades.
Recognized in the industry for their expertise, Specified Systems Inc. has consistently ranked among the top glaziers according to publications such as Glass Magazine and USGlass Magazine, showcasing their influence and leadership in the field. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Specified Systems Inc. continues to make significant contributions to the architectural landscape of the region.
