Founded in 2001 in Chicago by Rodrigo d'Escoto, Jr., Reflection Window + Wall has grown into a national architectural building enclosure company specializing in the engineering, pre-construction and project management of façade construction.

The company’s national revenue increased from $158 million in 2022 to $209 million in 2023. The company relies on installations for about 90% of its revenue while also seeking to bring new products to market and to raise industry standards. 

For those reasons and more, it has been named ENR Midwest’s 2024 Specialty Contractor of the Year. Reflection Window + Wall manufactures patented systems including curtain walls and window systems designed to meet the creative needs of designers, developers and architects. 

In 2023, it struck agreements with aluminum providers in India for its architectural glass wall products using renewable and low-carbon power sources to greatly reduce emissions. The company also was awarded U.S. patents on technology that makes windows adaptable to weather conditions, and which allows buildings to use less energy. 

ENR Midwest will profile the company in its Sept. 16 edition, along with the full Top Specialty Contractors ranking, which is accepting submissions through Aug. 5.
