We need to replace a number of broken window shams in 5 double-panel windows that were not closing properly. We called a number of window companies and NO one was interested in repairing our window shams - they were only interested in installing new windows throughout the whole house! We were fortunate to see Richard's site on Lake Arrowhead 365 on FB. He responded quickly, gave us a great estimate, and quickly got the work done! He did an excellent job. One of the best businesses on the mountain - we'd highly recommend his services. We can't thank him enough! read more

Been a while since I used them But had seen reviews on here About how he didn't try to upsell... And was very reasonable... Had him fix a couple of my windows in my family room dinette area a few years back. Great price and he was easy to deal with... Called him recently about a problem I was having With a window that was like leaking underneath and my wall is bubbling he knew it wasn't a seal as I had been told By someone else, so I called another A leak detection company as I had some other issues going on too... Feel like he won't take advantage of anybody knew he wasn't gonna be able to solve my problem. Highly recommend. read more

What can I say there isn't service like this anymore I call them up Richard The owner told him I had some broken glass on my house he came out within two days Took measurements and had my glass repaired within about 48 hours....I called a few other companies and I was getting the runaround on price time order deposit all kinds of stuff once I talk to Richard I knew I was in good hands he took care of me and treated me very good I would refer him to anybody I know if you're looking for a glass repair ....... I highly recommend them! Thank you for the excellent customer service read more

A Better Window Repair - Windows Installation Near Me

Richard did a fantastic job on getting my patio door to work properly by replacing the rollers. To make sure I didn't have any more problems he tested the door several times and found 2 other issues that he immediately corrected at his original quote - No nickel and diming here. He was on time, honest, cleaned up after himself and was done in a short amount of time. Richard also gave me an estimate for window repair that was on par with 2 other estimates but recommended against the repair since it was not a safety issue and barely noticeable. Thank you for your honesty. read more

A Better Window Repair - MC aluminum patio door. - Windows Installation Near Me

See all

After reading all the great reviews i called Richard to come out and look at some windows. After waiting an hour and a half waiting for him to arrive I called him and he then says he is unable to come out. Then says he texted me on a number that was certainly not mine. I understand things can come up but an "I'm sorry" for the now show or inconvenience of having to get home to wait for him for over an hour would have gone a long ways. Hard to believe the reviews when this is the customer care given before he even does a job. read more

In April 2021, we had over $3100 in glass replaced by Richard. One of the windows failed (fogged over) in 2023. I contacted Richard in Dec. 2023 and sent him pics showing the failure. I have reached out to him since and our window is still not replaced. He's sick, he never dealt with this supplier with a warranty issue, on and on. He never came out to see the defect, take a measurement, asked me to do the measurement for him. Four weeks go by and he tells me the glass is ordered. He's ill can't install it Jan 18, 2024. Jan. 24, ill again can't do the work. Jan. 26, his company sent the wrong glass,so he had to reorder. Jan. 31, he said his company just sent out the replacement. Feb. 9, appt. made and he canceled. Asked to reschedule. I had appts. the following week, so asked him to schedule me week of Feb. 16 thru Feb. 21. I never heard back from him yet and today is March 8, 2024. Find another glass company. Richard is not reliable. Thank god my neighbor across the street asked me about Richard and I told him to hire someone else. I won't mention the one text I received from Richard, but he texted me back and said it was for someone else.........REALLY read more

Richard is the guy for all your window needs! He replaced our fogged double pane windows in our Roseville home. From first call to completion was only two weeks! He is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and so easy to work with. Highly recommend!! read more

Richard did an excellent job replacing a window that had a crack in it for years, I wish we had it replaced sooner. His pricing is the best around and he did a great job getting it installed! read more

Richard is a master at his craft. As an industry professional, I was blown away by his responsiveness, kindness and workmanship. A true professional and one that I recommend to my friends, colleagues and partners in my industry. If you're looking for a solid window guy, Richard is your go to...definitely give him a call. You will not be disappointed! read more

This is a huge shout out to Richard and A Better Window Repair. We have a house with windows from 1980 that we love. They have the dark aluminum frames and are single hung which open by sliding up. The internal springs and pulleys were starting to go out but I just couldn't bring myself to replace them. They are just really great windows. We called and spoke with Richard and even on the phone we could tell he would take good care of us. He came out that same day and gave us a fair and honest quote and our windows, 8 in total, were all updated with new springs and pulleys the very next week. He is kind and professional. I highly recommend Richard and A Better Window Repair to anyone who needs window work done. read more

We had a great experience with Richard at A Better Window Repair. He responded to my request for a quote very quickly and answered all my questions to be sure I was comfortable. He was very professional and had the job scheduled and completed seamlessly. I would definitely recommend this company to others. read more

I was seeking information on new windows. There is a trick I learned where I call repairman about products and not initial installers. The repairman see the product years later and know what works and doesn't. They kindly shared information and took time to help me make new window purchase with brand recommendation. Thanks for helping me! read more

I was very pleased with A Better Window! Called and spoke directly to Richard , the owner, who came out right away. Gave me a quote much lower than two other companies. One week later, window is installed! Very happy! read more

Rich came out for what I thought was going to be a repair. Turned out it was just to look at our sliding door and give a quote. We decided to replace the sliding screen door too even though the price seemed high to me. The old sliding screen was in ok shape. It needed new screen material and new rollers. He said the parts would be in in 10 or so days. I had to check in with him a couple of times and the rollers for the door took around three weeks. Unfortunately, the new screen door took 2 months to be ready to install. The new parts are in. The glass door slides very easy. The new, expensive screen door doesn't feel any more sturdy than the original we had. He said he would adjust it so it worked like new and while it slides well, the locking isn't so great. Also, the plastic lock handle on the new screen door is much more flimsy than the original door. The inside and outside pieces don't get screwed together, so it feels "floppy". If I had to do this again, I'd have him fix the glass door and take the original screen door in to a repair shop to get the screen material replaced and the wheel hardware replaced. It was disappointing to spend so much and wait so long for what we have. Yes, 1st world problem. :) Hope this helps someone else go into this with open eyes. Rich seemed like a nice guy. Communication was challenged and I had to initiate most of it. read more

Richard did a great job with the measurements and replacement of my window panes. I will definitely be calling him again for future work.

I could not be more pleased with the service and product Richard provided. He was very organized, told me exactly when my window would be ready and arrived precisely when he said he would. He was very polite and thorough. read more

A Better Window Repair operated by Richard saved the day for me in multiple ways including a realistic price!!! My 3x6 dual pane window fogged over and I had no idea why. Apparently, the seal was broken, and the frame was fine.The first estimate I received from The Glass Store was $2,321 - can you believe it! From my research I learned the actual cost for the glass is about $300 if I purchased it as a consumer. Richard and his helper installed the glass on the second floor of my house in record time for a realistic price. He was prompt, professional and I immediately gave his name to a friend looking to replace multiple windows in his home. Let's keep companies like this in business that aren't gouging customers with ridiculous prices! read more

I was very pleased with the service Richard provided. I have a 30 year old 2nd home in Cool CA that had two very "foggy" dual pane windows. He came out did the measurements. Two weeks later we have two new window inserts. We can now clearly see our horses in the pasture below the house. One of the windows is a second story window and very high up from the grade. The old boy got it flawlessly replaced without injuring himself! Nice job Richard! read more

Richard at A Better Window Repair was fantastic! He replaced both panels of glass in our sliding glass door plus two additional windows. The glass we had replaced had issues with seals, staining etc. Richard also replaced the bearings in our sliding glass door which he noticed were going out. Our door now slides like a dream! Richard showed up when he said he would, both for the initial estimate and for the work day, he cleaned up his mess before he left and was polite and professional. Highly recommended! read more

Great guy to work with, he came out right away and the repair was affordable. Will definitely use him again.

I wouldn't look any place else. Quality service and fair prices. Professional company that takes pride in their work. Received courtesy call ahead of arrival and work was done quickly and efficiently. As good as it gets. read more

Disappointed. The initial install was fine. Now that I need a window adjusted, Richard refuses to come out. I've been asking for 3 weeks now. I guess I'll have to call someone else. read more

Prompt, courteous, pleasant, knowledgeable, conscientious and reasonable. He replaced the dual-pane glass in a 20 year old custom made wood patio door. It was not an easy job. He did a great job of ordering glass that matched the tint in the other glass. While he was out, we had him replace the glass in an old single pane aluminum framed window. Again, great work. A note to all you DIYer's, like me, do not attempt this! Watching Rich take out the large old cracked single pane, made me realize I could have lost a body part. Large sheets of broken glass are dangerous and best left to competent professionals. read more

Richard scheduled with our tenant to diagnose and repair our problem. He was professional, reliable, and affordable. What else can you ask for? He's our go-to guy now. Thanks so much for your help! read more

Rich diagnosed the problem with our patio door lock mechanism promptly and repaired it for a fair price. I would recommend Rich for any window related work you need. read more

I had my dual pane windows (glass only) replaced in my Milgard metal frames with Low E glass. He's an owner/installer so his price was best by far and he did a good job and took his time after he was done making sure every window was clean and ship shape. I would encourage anyone to get a bid from him first. read more

Very easy to work with. Richard took care of a fogged up window and broken sliding glass door for me. He came out the same day I called and gave me a price. We scheduled a time to have them installed and when it got close to the date he called to remind me and kept me informed. He got all the work done with no problems. I would definitely hire him again. read more

Met with Rich, pricing was fair work was excellent!

Great customer service. Richard was prompt in providing me a quote and work was completed quickly and professionally. Would recommend!

Richard did a great job replacing the glass on two of our windows and one pane on our sliding door. He also replaced the rollers on both of my sliders which made them slide like new. He was on time and very professional. Highly recommend him! read more

Richard did an excellent job repairing a broken dual-pane window in my house. I'm no handyman, but this is the kind of thing no average home-owner can fix. He's completely professional and just got the job done right. The window looks great, and the fee was totally reasonable. Lastly, and importantly, I wasn't worried about him working in my house. Clean-cut, honest and hard working, I couldn't ask for a better experience, and will recommend him to my friends and/or co-workers! read more

Richard gave me a quote quickly and honored his price and it was the best price by far. He installed the window as soon as we could coordinate schedules and was friendly, quick and efficient. read more

Rich, the owner of A Better Window Repair, responded to a mid morning phone call; already had an early afternoon appointment, but has the experience and knowledge to know exactly what I needed to stop my sliding glass doors from taking all my strength to open and close. He was here within 30 minutes, fixed two sliding doors within 45 minutes, then spent another 15 minutes ensuring all was working, even tweaking the screws to ensure perfect fit and locking mechanism working. He is also very personable but efficient and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for window repairs. If there were 10 stars, that's where I would rate Rich. read more

We had Richard to replace glass in our home. He also put new wheels on the sliders and replaced the screens that were bad. We are pleased and happy with his work. Shows up on time and works hard. Give him a try! Thx PMJ read more

If you value honesty, integrity and a generally helpful spirit, you'll definitely appreciate Richard. He came to my house to clean two sliding glass doors and resolve the problem where they stick when their shut and try to open them. He took the time to explain the problem to me and informed me that there wasn't any way he could repair it. So he cleaned the tracks, lubricated the wheels And basically did as much as he could. He even took the time to explain to me which vendors and types of windows I might select for the locations that need to be replaced. I found him to be incredibly helpful and a really nice guy. I won't reveal how much he charged, but I will guarantee you that if you have a similar experience to mine you will have a large smile on your face. I can't recommend him more highly. It's nice to move into a new area and find that one of the first contractors you talk to is such a good professional guy. Five star all the way. read more

I would highly recommend this business. Rich came over and gave us an estimate for a glass table top for our kitchen table. The actual cost came in under the estimate and Rich passed that savings on to us. The glass top was exactly what we wanted and Rich's honesty and integrity impressed us. read more

Another 5-star review for Rich! We needed some 30-year-old old glass replaced it was all fogged up and water spotted. Rich quickly responded to my message and gave us a competitive quote. The glass was installed today and look fantastic. I do not hesitate to recommend A Better Window Repair! read more

We had Richard come out and give us a quote on replacing the glass in 2 front windows. His price was competitive and we had decided to use him but when we mentioned the fact that we also had a leakage problem when heavy rains and high winds hit, he actually advised us to not get the glass replaced, but go with a full restoration. Our windows are old LikeIt models ( no longer in business ) and per Richard were poorly designed. If he just replaced the glass, they would still leak. Unfortunately, Richard does not do full window replacements so we had to go with another option. But the fact that he was honest with his recommendation, even though it meant lost business, tells you something about his integrity and professionalism. I would highly recommend Richard for your future needs read more

Needed my sliding glass door repaired, I was guessing something simple like replacing the wheels. Tried myself, but could not get the door to clear the frame. Called all the big names and I was informed it would be weeks for an estimate appointment and then even longer for the work to be done. One company did manage to come out and suggested a whole new sliding glass door, permitting, stucco repair work afterward, and painting. Hmmmm - no. Well, weeks later I was at a red light and I noticed Richard's truck in the cross traffic. I contacted him to take a look. He arrived at my home stated the wheel assemblies needed to be replaced. He apologized that the fee would be a bit more as he would have to remove the glass due to the lack of clearance. Long story short - my door slides effortlessly now. PLEASE contact Richard for any of your window repair needs. He is a honest, easy to communicate with, hard working, cleans up the job site, and is very good at what he does. read more

Richard is amazing! Quick to respond to my request, on time to replace my broken glass and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend him! read more
