OUR STORY
GAMCO was one of the first players in the fenestration industry of the Northeast. Our company has grown and evolved to carve out our name in the field, expanding our facility with a growing team of 60+ team members. GAMCO continues to make an impact in the Queens, NY and fenestration industry.
Our experts communicate with the site installers and developers to understand the site conditions. We analyze and provide the best solutions to cater the requirements needed. Our team is dedicated to bringing your job to the next level.
GAMCO products are consistently the highest in quality, made with old-world custom craftsmanship that only expert fabricators can render. Our fenestration systems are designed to completely integrate with other architectural elements, with exactly matching finishes and style on every component.
GAMCO’s experience and dedication is apparent in all aspects of a project – from concept, through engineering and production to delivery. The firm’s highly trained and longtime staff has developed and honed the company’s technical expertise. Because GAMCO began as an installation firm, its knowledge of building construction ensures flawless product customization every time.
GAMCO’s custom manufacturing utilizes industry-leading equipment and machinery with a wide array of capabilities to create any design. Automated CNC hydraulic shear and punch presses, brake metal bending equipment and fine finishing and polishing machinery allow GAMCO technicians to produce beautiful architectural and fenestration components.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
The GAMCO story is one of vision, hard work, and commitment to excellence. The company began in a single garage in 1986 as a full-service storefront glazing/installation company for builders and property owners in New York City. Despite their own diligence and attention to detail, they were not satisfied with the quality and service GAMCO’s fenestration suppliers offered.
The team then took a bold step, moving away from installation services to manufacturing products themselves. This change of focus enabled GAMCO to deliver the quality, customization, and design distinction its customers needed which other suppliers could not provide. Now, GAMCO is renowned for its product offerings and custom-fabrication abilities, and we are always seeking to modernize and expand.
INNOVATION AND EXPERTISE
Lelina and Melora Chang (president and vice president, respectively) joined the team in 2020, a very uncertain time for the industry. Determined to continue their business that represented their family legacy, they wanted to employ as many local residents as they could in the community of Flushing. Being minority-women leading a metal fenestration company during COVID was a journey that demanded resilience, vision, and relentless dedication.
Thanks to their hard work, our leadership and organization has been featured in various publications, such as USGlass Magazine, NYREJ, Metal Construction News, NGA’s Glass Magazine, FlushingTimes, and more. We have achieved our MWBE certification, recognized as a Top Metal Company for several years running, and both Melora and Lelina have been recognized as NYREJ Women in Construction, NYREJ Executives of the Month, and as Power Women of Queens (Schneps Media), the only construction industry representatives in their cohort.
From streamlining and standardizing operations to implementing new software and machinery, GAMCO continues to grow, innovate, and set new standards.
