Ali and his team are the best! I've used them twice to replace old, broken window panes. My contractors brought them measurements and gotten the windows back that afternoon or the next day. I had a bathroom niche built and was deciding how to make the shelving when I realized Ali could make custom shelves. The glass is laminated like a car windshield so if it breaks, it won't shatter. Price can't be beat for the quality and customer service. Thanks! read more

Ali is professional, honest, and a talented craftsman. One of my custom mirrored sliding closet doors cracked, and he replaced them within a week. I am very satisfied with the results! I recommend him and his company without reservation. read more

I feel fortunate to have found this company. I live in a Victorian house built in 1900 with many wooden windows that require regular maintenance. After calling different companies and getting the runaround I spoke with Ali at North Beach Sash and explained that I needed a double hung wooden window fixed. He asked me questions to assess the situation and gave me an explanation of what needed to be done and a price estimate. Ali and his assistant came in, very quickly fixed the window and charged less than the quoted price. I showed them another window that was leaking, they assessed the situation and we decided to replace it. They took measurements and placed the order for the new window. Today they came back to install it and I couldn't be happier with the job they did. They are knowledgeable, efficient, professional and honest. The window looks beautiful! The price that I paid was less than the original quote. Usually the opposite is the norm with other contractors. I highly recommend North Beach Sash & Window. read more

I had a broken glass pane in my home and after calling lots of places and getting the run around I called North Beach Sash & Window. These guys had the work done within a few hours of calling and did an amazing job at a very competitive price. Wish I called them first! read more

North Beach Sash & Window Supply came to our Victorian (built 1891) to replace two windows that had been blown out in a gas line explosion under the street directly below us. The task: newly framing curved glass panes. They took out emergency replacement plywood boards, expertly detached the frames and took them to their shop to install the new glass. In a very short time, they returned with the refitted frames and painstakingly replaced them into the window casing. But beyond that, they re-sashed both window frame assemblies and totally cleaned up after the job. Now I can see again, and our windows work beautifully! Great craftsmen and cool dudes. By the way, this is NOT some bogus plant, but a true account from a very satisfied customer. read more

Wow, I have never met anyone so rude. Never confirmed the time and date of appointment, just showed up out of nowhere, and when I asked if he could put on shoe covers (which I have and offered to him, it's not like I expect him to bring any) before coming inside my apartment since it's been raining, he got angry and just left?! Unbelievable. read more

I had endured two broken sash mechanisms on two double hung windows in my 1913 house for quite a while. Finally decided to tackle the issue and asked for recommendations on Nextdoor. One neighbor's comment that stood out was for North Beach Sash & Window. I called and easily scheduled a visit. The two windows had completely different mechanisms but the team tackled both without breaking a sweat. I should have done this years ago! I highly recommend this business read more

North Beach Sash & Window came recommended from a contractor friend. They did a great job replacing 4 windows in our home. They were efficient and reliable. Showed up when they said they would and completed the installation ahead of schedule. Cleaned up after themselves and left no trace that they had been there expect better windows! Cost was reasonable. Will return when we are ready to replace other windows. read more

Ali and his team do high quality and fast work. I hired him to replace a double-sash window in my 100 year old SF apartment, and North Beach Sash and Window does the high quality work that is needed to keep my building true to history. read more

We were lucky to be referred to Ali and Nick by our realtor. They were in and out so quickly and were so experienced with re-roping our old window cords that were broken. It was perfection at its best, not only did they fix the window, they cleaned up and caulked the windows so that it would be ready for painting. It was really a pleasure and I wish every business was like theirs. read more

I hired Ali and Nick to fix an old sash window that had settled out of square. These guys are incredibly nice and DID fix my window, however the craftsmanship is very messy, and they raised the cost of the job by $75 in the two weeks between the original quote and the work. read more

North Beach Sash & Window Supply - The nail is not driven in straight and will be difficult to patch over. - Windows Installation Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have a 100+ year old apartment in North Beach that had original wood windows. Ali did a great job and really understood how to work with old style SF buildings/construction. He runs a well managed small business with the local neighborhood touch. Everything was turn key - he comes out for a quote, takes a deposit, calls to schedule installation when the windows arrive, then collects the balance due after installation. His team did a nice installation job with attention to detail. read more

We needed window screens re-screened and windows replaced; Ali made quick work of the jobs. His work is always excellent and his prices are fair and reasonable. You won't hear any complaints from me or my parents who hired Ali to replace their windows many years ago (and the windows are still in great shape!). We'll keep calling him as long as he and his worker stay in business and give us quick and outstanding service! read more

Quick and straightforward in and out if you need a small pane of regular glass cut to repair paneled interior doors common to older SF apartments. Special glass types (tempered and laminated) need to be ordered. read more

Great service, knowledgeable advice, quick turnaround. That's what I thought after my first purchase. After my second, bigger project, I must add another word to the list: "cool." I mis-measured the dimensions for a large piece of glass. When I got it home and realized the mistake I was so disappointed. When I called they said they'd cut me a new piece, no charge. That's cool. I'm a satisfied customer. I'll be back. read more

Needed a replace a broken window for a tenant. My Grandpa's contractor recommended this place and glad he did. They were able to come out on my schedule (I live out of town) and get the job done within a couple of hours. I was expecting the cost to be higher since everything else in SF is but I found it reasonable! Friendly and reliable. Thank you. read more

Ali and his son came out next day after quote, were super nice and fixed my window super quick. Fair price and local. They came recommended from a friend. read more

Ali and his team installed a window in my apartment. I thought they did a good job and formerly gave them a 5 star review. As requested I furnished both inside and outside paint for the window frame. This was an $800. endeavor. Within 6 weeks the paint began to peel on the outside of the window frame. I called Ali to report this. He offered no responsibility or solution. I'm not a paint expert but I know that new paint should not be peeling. Period. I thought either they didn't prime the window frame or they used inside paint on the outside of the frame or vice versa. There is a contractor currently working on our building. I asked him his opinion about this paint issue. His explanation was corroborated by information I found online : "The glazing must set a skin for at least 7 -14 days before you can prime and paint. The glass should be cleaned so that all of the putty oils are removed. It is important that in painting the glazing, the paint flows onto a small part of the glass to make a weather tight seal." Now how in the world does a company that installs and paints windows drop the ball on something that is elementary to what their service is ? Form your own opinion. read more

Highly recommend. One broken window fixed on the same day he gave me the quote. The second special ordered window completed as soon as it was received. Price was reasonable. Friendly, quick and efficient. read more

This guy is fast, reasonably priced and honest. Sometimes it can be tricky getting hold of him, but he always returns calls if you leave a message. What else is there left to say except if you need glass or mirrors save your time and go to North Beach Sash and Window, no one will beat his price or his service. read more

North Beach Sash does it again! Called these wonderful men up to replace 3 rotting windows. I'm beyond thrilled with their punctuality, attention to detail and reasonable pricing. The windows 1930's functionality has been restored. They now open from top to bottom or bottom to top. I had no idea that was even possible. If the time comes to replace more windows in my build, they will have my business. read more

This place is very reasonable on prices, fast and friendly services that you may be missing from other window and sash places. Now I know I have been missing out for the last 12 years when I lived in a different neighborhood, and was going to different shops. I recently moved and needed to replace some glass on a set of windows, and since this place was just down the street, I went in with 2 sash in hand around 4pm. The tall gentleman gave me a quote, which was so reasonable that I was shocked. When I asked him if I could expect the windows to be ready in a couple of days, he said they would be ready by noon the next day and he'd call me once they are ready. He called me the next day as promised and the windows were ready. A couple of weeks later, I decided to replace a mirror on a built-in medicine cabinet as the cabinet and the mirror were 90 years old and the mirror had some obvious ugly wear and tear. I brought in the medicine cabinet door and asked if it was possible to replace the mirror. His answer was "of course we can". I didn't even ask how much the mirror would be this time and just left the cabinet door with him to replace the mirror. The next day, he called and said it's ready. I went to pick it up and was shocked again with the price. Love these honest guys! read more

I called North Beach Window after 18months of remodeling and suffering from contractor fatigue and dwindling funds. I called to order two full length mirrors and had braced myself for the price and was given an extremely reasonable price. They were ready in a couple of days and delivered promptly. Ali, the owner, knows his stuff and is a super nice guy. Now that I know about his shop, my next project of glass shower doors is his. Way easier and cheaper to work with than a general contractor. read more

Great and fast service! We had a broken window pane at the office. I was given a quote of about $200 based on my description over the phone and someone came over to look at it within 30 minutes of the call. After that I was told the replacement fee would be $200 exactly and about a 1 hour install. They pre-cut a new pane and it turns out the install only took 30 minutes. Very friendly guys who did a great job and I will definitely call the next time our office is the unfortunate victim of for-no-reason window-breaking. I was told they are only a two-person team, so if they don't answer, just leave a message and they'll get back to you as quickly as they can. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about North Beach Sash and Window....I have worked with Ali on three different occasions. He is prompt, honest, and less expensive than other bids. His team does what they say they will, when they say they will, and leave the job site clean. I asked Ali his opinion on other windows while I had him there. He was frank in his estimation that they were functioning well and there was no need to replace them. I would not have known the difference but he has integrity and wouldn't upsell me. North Beach Sash are my go-to glass guys! read more

Ali our go-to guy for all things window related. It's not often you find someone who is honest and transparent and will not oversell you outside of what you should have. His work is stellar, he's clean and stands behind is work 100%. His prices are reasonable but more importantly, he's trustworthy. Make sure you call Ali first. read more

Ali met with me gave me a price I got it approved and after leaving 3 voicemails that I'd like to hire them they never called me back. I find it disrespectful! read more

Ali and Nick have helped us with a number of window and sash issues this past year, and on each occasion have left us very grateful for their expertise. They have reroped and made functional again original 1912 sashes (including very large, very heavy ones), have ordered and installed new dual-pane windows, and have reliably shown up at the time they said they would and charged the price they quoted. They are efficient and effective, the optimal combination! read more

North Beach Sash & Window was recommended to us by a Leasing Specialist here in San Francisco. Our building (set of flats in the Marina) was built in 1931 and the windows throughout were in need of replacement. We got bids from four different window companies, ranging from the Big Box (Home Depot) to other large companies. We strongly believe in dealing with independently owned companies, establishing a relationship, knowing you will find that very person on the other end of the line when you call . . not an 800 number. A real person. Dealing with North Beach Sash & Window, you will avoid any hassle regarding the very annoying clause the City and County of San Francisco has which is "All About Windows", meaning this: If you have wood framed windows facing the street that can be seen, you must replace with wood framed windows. The Big Box folks will tell you "No problem. Go with Vinyl". You don't want to go there. It's stupid, but it's real, folks. We love this company. Go with North Beach. You'll be in very good hands and the team is wonderful.They work hard and know what they're doing. read more

Ali was great. I called to get a broken window's glass replaced. He returned my call within an hour or two, showed up at my door in another hour, and got it replaced in another hour. It was fast, and the prices were reasonable. I will work with him again for similar things. read more

After staring at a cracked kitchen window for the past 30 years (!), we finally decided to replace the glass (such procrastinators we are ...). Called North Beach Sash in the morning, who came in the afternoon, took out the window, and returned within an hour with a new glass pane. Voila! Not the eyesore anymore! We are so pleased ... read more

You don't ever get this guy in the phone. You have to call and leave a message, and even though I told him I was a neighbor, and needed some help with a broken window as soon as possible, he could not be bothered to return my call. If he's really looking to stay in business in this neighborhood, I think he'd better step up his game read more

I would give Ali 10 stars if I could. This place is great. The mark-up at furniture stores is outrageous. If you need to replace your glass or mirror, this is the place to go. And he kindly delivered my piece to my house. This is a small shop, so if you don't get through right away, try again. It's worth the wait. And the fact that Ali is tall, dark and handsome... well ladies, you get the picture. And that is on top of being a nice guy. read more

Super fast service. Broke a window at 10pm at night.. Called back first thing in the morning, came out the following hour, and was back an hour and half later with the broken window fixed! All done by 12:30pm the following afternoon, cost me $180 to replace a 3ft wooden apt window. read more

Wow, I just called and the customer service in setting up an appointment could not have gone more smoothly. The gentlemen who answered made some really great suggestions as to how I might resolve my problem with the windows I need service on. The place seems to have great integrity - I'll be waiting on a call back from the owner to setup an appt. -- more to come. read more

Prompt. Polite (even cordial). Installed my (large) window in under an hour, for within the estimated price range. Perfectly satisfied. read more

Excellent, friendly, efficient and most importantly beautiful finished work! Thank You. read more

These guys are great! We had a pretty badly broken window and I had set up someone to come look at it. When the guy never showed, I called these guys! Two hours later, Nathan was at my house removing the broken window. When they came back to complete the job, the window looked good as new! Friendly guys, fair price, great service. read more
