If you own a home in a historic district, you really should know about Artisan Sash. (If you own a home anywhere, and you value excellent workmanship at a fair price-- also good to know.) My 1926 home was suffering from Window Fatigue. The doublehung windows either didn't close, or had to be propped to stay open. Blackened, broken sash cords protruded hideously from some of them. They were so wobbly in their frames that the whole house rattled like a maraca any time a train passed by (several blocks away.) When I first determined to improve this situation, I contacted one of Sacramento's better window replacement companies. They could have replaced all the windows with super-high-tech glass and new frames-- except that the historic association would not approve this new-fangled approach. What Artisan Sash does is to place doublepaned glass in the existing wooden frames. No historical issues involved. Artisan Sash brings its workshop right to your front door in the form of a little workshop-trailer. They repaired and refitted my miserable windows. No more icky black cables: the windows now slide smoothly on springloaded tracks. Cozily weatherstripped all around: no more maraca concerts in the middle of the night! PLUS-- in the midst of all this practicality, owner Bob Henderson also suggested some extremely satisfying aesthetic upgrades: adding mullions to the front windows to enhance their "Arts&Crafts" style, and using glittering art glass for the bathroom windows. Furthermore, having Artisan Sash do the job saved me about $3000 compared to the newfangled guys! (and their work would have required the additional expense of a building license.) Bob Henderson and his crew are knowledgeable, skilled, and attentive to detail. And nice! read more

When the Sacramento Children's Home restored their 1925 vintage building we chose Artisan Glass to repair our many worn windows. It is difficult to find a contractor that is a true artisan in woodworking. Bob and his team did everything they said they would do and a little more. On selected windows they updated to double pain glass that made a difference in sound as well as letting in cold air. I recommend Artisan. read more

Having recently purchased an older home (1927) and wanting to upgrade our windows to a more energy efficient glass, I called Artisan Windows for a demonstration of their replacement technique. Not only does Bob's team replace the single pane glass, but they also remove the old rope sash cords (also 90 years old) and replace it with a modern spring apparatus. Upon beginning work, dry rot that was discovered on 2 windows was not a problem as Dale was well acquainted with such "issues" and rebuilt the damaged sections. I was very pleased with the finished product (which requires some painting) and I believe anyone dedicated to vintage restorations will find Artisan Windows a good investment. read more

I felt so lucky to find Artisan Windows and Sash. We had bought a 1903 National Historic Registry house for my office with lovely big windows that were drafty and single-pane -- so causing us to have huge energy bills for heating and cooling. Bob was able to replace the glass with high-efficiency dual panes, and preserve the original framing and sashes. It included large 5-foot-wide panes. He also rebuilt all of the hanging mechanism so the windows now open both up from the bottom and down from the top for use in either cold or warm weather. And he did it all while we were still working in the building, causing very little disruption because most of the work was done out in his mobile workshop van. He finished on time and on budget. The cost was only modestly more than if we had tried to use prefab windows. But prefab windows would have been a shame to do to this stately old home. No one looking at our new would have any idea the glass has been replaced unless you look closely enough to see that there are now two panes of glass helping keep out the elements. I highly recommend Artisan Window and Sash, especially for anyone who has an older home who doesn't want to lose the charm of their original window frames. read more

Bob claims to be a window restoration guy but he's actually just a window modification/replacement guy, he does not want to repair existing wooden sash windows, so beware if that's what you intend to call him for. When I first looked at his website I thought he was going to be my window guy on my 1930's building, but what his website inferred and what reality was were unfortunately not the same thing. He pressured me to replace things, even when they didn't need replacing, and he won't do any normal or small repairs to wood sash windows (like sash rope repairs, etc.) unless you are having him replace a bunch of windows. I didn't like that. For example, I asked him to repair a large number of wood sash windows, because they were fixable and didn't warrant replacement, but all he wanted to discuss was putting double pane glass into the old frames, he didn't even want to talk about fixing broken sash ropes, rotten windowsills, or damaged/rotten sashes themselves. He was almost recalcitrant in a way about it. His attitude was always to talk about installing double panes, nothing much else. And his gimmick is that he tries to push you to replace the old single pane glass with double pane glass which he makes by simply inserting a glass double pane into the wood frames claiming they'll save you electricity. This is a ridiculous idea because what is the point of putting double pane windows on an old vintage building which has no insulation inside the walls? He had no answer to that question when I asked him. He claims that it's going to be an energy saver but the reality is that if the walls have no insulation (and most pre-war buildings have no wall insulation) the windows are really not going to help much, and he knows that but hopes you don't. His prices are absolutely outrageous, over $1,000 for ONE very ordinary wooden double hung sash window, and that's not including installation! Bob wanted more just to put his gimmicky double pane glass insert into an existing window than Valley Wood Window wanted to build the entire window from scratch! Valley Wood Window is a much better value for money, that exact same window that Bob quoted at over $1,000 costed significantly less with them, and they can actually repair your wood sash windows, or if need be, replace with exact copies, but repair is often a very cost-effective solution. I'm sure Bob is a good guy, but his prices and style of work/doing business just don't suit me. read more

Bob and his crew came out to Newcastle to refurbish a few dozen windows on my 1910 Victorian. Previous work that had been shotty, using sashes that didn't fit the windows and others we wanted to convert to dual-pane. Artisan Sash did an amazing job improving the efficiency of the windows and the result was amazing to look at. My family noticed a huge improvement in noise reduction and temperature control immediately. We love our refurbished windows. read more
