Great service, i called at 2:30 and asked for a replacement for a broken sliding window. They quoted me $70, i asked if i dropped it off same day if they would be able to finish it and he said yeah. I dropped it off and picked it back up at 4:30 and it was done. It wasn't the cheapest place, but it wasn't the most expensive. The price range was from $50 (didn't want to drive all the way downtown) to $130 Highly recommended with great customer service. I would definitely use their service again. UPDATE 10/13/10 This is my second time using Sunset Glass. This time my balance was out in my window. I called to ask how to dissemble my window in order to access the balancer and they walked me through it. After that i brought it in and they check that back to see if they had them in stock. After a few min the woman returned with a few but she recommend me order new ones. She ordered them and said they would be in by Monday. Monday morning i received a call and sure enough it was in. This time i didn't even bother shopping around, great service. read more

Call the store a ton of times to inquire about the window part and also emailed all the pictures for illustrations. No one ever brother to respond. The owner brushed me off even when I asked him in person face to face, told me that his receptionist will contact me later. The ladies were polite on the phone and they keeps telling me the guys will respond when they have a chance......this is 3 weeks later and I made the last attempt and still have the same response. I do not recommend this business. read more

I recently worked with Susie at Sunset Glass to order a table top. From my first phone call, Susie was helpful and informative. She was able to get me exactly what I needed in the time frame I had, which was rather short. I especially appreciated her attention to detail and follow up. I thought their pricing was very reasonable as well. read more

I have used Sunset Glass for years to replace windows in my Richmond District home. When I first bought my home there was no Yelp to help choose vendors and I used the lowest bidder for windows. Big mistake! One by one the windows fell out or broke. I needed privacy glass for a home improvement and the lady behind the desk was very helpful and showed us a large selection of patterned glass. The glass I chose is beautiful and enhances my home. I never expected privacy glass to add to the attractiveness of the project. Lessons learned: * If it's hard to get an appointment, it's probably because the service provider is popular because he/she is good. * Be wary of low bidders * Use Yelp read more

Spoke to 2 separate ladies and they were super helpful. 1 day turn around since in town shortly. $80 for a 27"x16"x 1/4" medicine cabinet mirror with a curved top. Great service. Price seems to be based on area, thickness, number of custom cuts and any needed holes. Note this top curve was complex so its cut free hand so not super precise geometrically. Sides are perfectly straight of course. Highly recommended based on my single experience. read more

No wonder this business gets bad reviews. I see the company has received multiple bad reviews due to the phone receptionist's pissy attitude. I called to get an estimate on some custom mirrors for sliding closet doors. She starts right away with a snarky ass attitude and says that she's "trying to figure out what the heck I want." Total Biznatch that doesn't show any respect to potential customers. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY I am a general contractor and I just did a repair job for a very nice older woman. She had Wayne at Sunset install 3 windows for her. Her invoice showed that there was a lifetime guarantee. All three windows have been leaking for 4 years and she has called numerous times. They told her that they came to her house and fixed the problem. I had to remove all 3 windows, repair the dry rot and re-install them. My charge was $1350.00 to do this work. Once again. Do not use this company for anything. Wayne is a lying sack of crap that makes a living by cheating his customers. read more

Now-a-days it seems that 'Have a nice day', ' Have a good one', 'Take it easy' or some other catchy phrase or homily has replaced 'Thank you' or 'Thanks for your business.' But there are even times when 'Have a mice day' would be welcome. We dropped a major chunk of change at Sunset Glass for replacement windows. One would think for the cost and scope of the job, Wayne, the owner or one of his employees would follow up with a 'How did the Job go? Is everything satisfactory? Thanks for your business.' or write a simple 'Thank You' on the bottom of the invoice? Alas alack, no one did. I also ordered a skylight at the same time as the installation. Sunset failed to follow up on that one. I guess business must be so good at Sunset that Wayne doesn't have to worry about keeping customers coming back. We took our glass business elsewhere where the folks say 'Thanks for your business'. You should too. read more

We got completely screwed by Sunset Glass. First they promised they would have the glass for our shower in 5 days, it them 20 days. Second, they improperly installed a $1,800 shower enclosure and when I called to inform the them the reception was less than friendly. The owner, eventually called me back and promised to have someone come out and repair the issue. He never did contact me and I had to follow up with him. Again, another delay and no one ever showed up. We are done with Sunset Glass and will likely have to sue them for the cost to have someone come out and repair their poor install. We wanted to support the local guys, but we go burned. Stay away from this company!! read more

After my previous negative experience and review, I was contacted by Wayne with an apology and he asked if I would reconsider looking at his bid for which he would provide a discount. I thought I would give them a second chance. He immediately sent the bid which was at a good price so I wanted to follow-up for more details. However, after no response to several emails and phone calls, I am officially finished with this business. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! They say they want the business but their actions speak another tune. read more

Sunset Glass installed Milgard double pane windows on our house in Inner Sunset 10 yrs. ago. The price was reasonable and they did a very thorough job. At the time, they told us that the windows have a lifetime warranty. Now 10 yrs. later, some of our windows had smudges on the inside and we wanted them replaced. Sunset looked up our invoice and contacted Milgard Windows for us. Milgard was very professional and took the time to measure our windows and replaced everything to our satisfaction. They kept their word and we are very pleased with both Milgard and Sunset Glass. Milgard is a company of integrity and Sunset Glass is a great neighborhood business which is very customer oriented. We are happy customers. read more

Shockingly poor customer service! After three calls and 2 emails over 10 days I engaged another provider. The person who answers the phone, and does intake for quotes, 'is not allowed to have e-mail' but she said I should send an e-mail with details and the 'guys in back' will take care of it. Needless to say nobody is responsible for the balls rolling around on the floor. I did use them a couple of years ago and would prefer to support neighborhood businesses but they are too disorganized for me to consider using them in the future. Shame as I do have a pretty big job coming up in a couple of months. read more

Wanting to support a local business, I had Sunset Glass come out for an estimate. That was months ago. Since then, I have called no less than 8 times, asking for an estimate. I keep leaving messages with the receptionist or on voicemail, asking the owner or estimator to call me back. Still no response. Very unprofessional! read more

Sunset Glass used to be reliable and I had good experiences. However, this past month they've dropped the ball and I have to agree with other reviewers. An order was placed on 12/20, and we were told the windows would be ready the second week of January (due to the holidays, I understood there would be a delay--reasonable enough). However, it has taken over a month and they were not ready for delivery to the store until the 25th. A slow processing and delivery time which delayed a new rental, costing me money. Please beware!! read more

I just about never will write a bad review but well here it is...Hard to believe they just will NOT get back to you!!! Don't you need the business Sunset Glass? Sent pictures, gave measurements, all I needed was to replace a mirror that cracked in my bathroom and after several telephone conversations being passed on from one to the next having to explain my scenario over and over, someone did say that someone else would be getting back to me the next day. Well, that never happened. What a lousy experience & horrible waste of my time. read more

Called twice, sent an email to get help fixing windows they installed. They never followed up. How they stay in business is beyond me. And as many others have noted, the lady who answers the phone could use a few lessons in customer service. Hey lady what do you think you're accomplishing by being so rude. Is it really that hard to be pleasant? read more

1) You found the right place for your glass. 2) You won't find a better price. 3) You won't have to wait days for your product. 4) You are wasting your time looking elsewhere! read more

Do not buy your windows from this company!! I ordered my new windows for my entire house and it was supposed to take five weeks. After two months I hadn't heard a word, I went by several times, called several times and nobody got back to me. These people are incredibly unprofessional! I was out of town when the windows were finally installed and came back to windows that couldn't be locked, was promised they would come in the morning to fix it, nobody came.... you get the picture.... Then they claim they didn't get a payment check, and then suddenly they can call you at odd hours and come by the house to yell and scream... nice. Would never ever do business with them again. You can get the same windows in other places where I'm sure they also treat you respectfully. read more

Phoned for an estimate to replace all the windows in our newly purchased home. The woman who took my call said will receive a return call for an appointment. After a week no call back from company. I called again snotty woman said will receive a call soon. Four weeks later no call back. Unprofessional! read more

This was my first experience with Sunset Glass. Wayne the owner was very friendly and was able to get someone to come out for an estimate the same morning I called. I had to reschedule my original appointment due to my work schedule, but Wayne was able to get a technician out the next business day. The technician, Christian was professional and friendly. He got the job done super quick, and the new shower door looks great! read more

I tried to set up an estimate and the woman on the phone was so rude. I was told I would be given a call back and have not heard from anyone. Needless to say, I will be giving my business to someone who treats me with a little respect. I would rate them as 'zero' stars if that were an option. read more

read all the poor reviews, but our cabinet guy recommended them for a mirror for our medicine cabinet. They did a good job, no complaints, was a small job, haven't done a larger job with them. Priced seemed very reasonable read more

Purchased 10 windows and I am very pleased with their service thus far. They met the deadlines, the price was fair, they used a permit, and they have good follow up. Sadly, the glass business is plagued with recent immigrants who are trying to achieve the American dream by ripping off every customer they can because they don't care about repeat business. So it was refreshing to find Sunset Glass and to experience their professionalism. read more

Extremely friendly! Gave me a quote over the phone and when I went in nothing changed. This is as good as service gets in a big city like SF. He even showed me what to do in order to save money. read more

Hi, They were very helpful with helping me select glass for my kitchen cabinets. They asked what my style was and what my kitchen looked like and then offered suggestions. They even went so far as to put samples in the window so I could drive by with wife on the weekend for her to look at different options. That was very nice. read more

Good old fashioned customer service here. I like these people. There was an honest miscommunication which resulted in a problem but Sunset Glass made it right. What else can one ask for? I'll use them again gladly. read more

This is my 2nd 5 star review, the first has disappeared ...????... We have used Sunset Glass for years 1st time in 1981- they are professional and do excellent work. Custom shower doors, windows, screen doors as well as cut glass for tables. Prices are great, Wayne and Eric do great work. Highly recommend Sunset Glass! read more

I had a great experience with Wayne from Sunset Glass. We needed custom cut bathroom mirrors, closet doors, and bath/shower enclosures. Wayne came out and measured after we had picked the products at his shop. Everything arrived promptly and was installed professionally. It all looks great! read more

A back window in our house (that we did not install) had its double pane fail (condensation was getting in between the two pieces of glass). I called Sunset Glass, they responded over the phone and gave an immediate rough estimate for replacing the glass, had a person come out and do the measurements and confirm the estimates. That person was on time, and then told me when I should expect a call from them again once the glass was ready. Sure enough I got a call 3 to 4 days later, I arranged for them to come out to install the glass, and they again showed up on time and installed the glass. Everything was smooth and price seemed reasonable! read more

I don't like to give negative feedback to a local business, but I am doing so (in my first Yelp review) because I hope it keeps someone else from feeling as frustrated and helpless as I have. (And keeps them dry, as well!) I bought into a 4-unit TIC in the Richmond in Feb. 2006. The units had been completely remodeled, and Sunset Glass had replaced all the windows. When I initially viewed my unit, one of them was leaking. When I put in my offer, I included a contingency that the window be fixed. I was assured it had been, so I bought and moved in. It soon became clear it hadn't been. Then, the kitchen window started leaking. The seller was quite sympathetic and tried to get all parties together, but Sunset Glass insisted that they weren't responsible and blamed the leaks on the stucco workers. Still, they threw up some caulking. A year or two went by. Now my neighbor's window leaks. One of mine still does as well -- three years later! I recently called SG, not even to ask them to do anything for me, but to refer me to someone who could detect the origin of the leak and fix it once and for all, and received no callback. Any window shop whose work doesn't hold up even through the first season is one to stay away from. read more

The nicest thing I can imagine just happened. Sunset Glass just came to do an estimate on what I thought would be glass replacement in a window where the glazing tape appeared to be failing. When the service man, Doug, arrived, he assessed the situation and told me I had nothing to worry about. He trimmed the unsightly tape corners that were sagging because they had stretched from the sun on the window, showed me why he knew there was no danger to the actual seal, and left without letting me pay him even for his driving time. Wow! What kind of wonderful service is that! Based on this experience, I would recommend Sunset Glass to anyone! read more

Great service, great turnaround (email last night, glass changed this morning). 2 other companies answered they did not have time. Not sure if it is too pricey or not but happy to have a window again. read more

Had Christian come out to repair our old 'sunset' windows ... original windows when the house was built before WWII. He did a GREAT job. Both he and Wayne couldn't be more polite and concerned. AS ADVERTISED. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

If you ever have to have your glass/shower window replaced..go through these guys! They did a great job on my shower door. Christian was very professional and did a great job. Flawless in fact. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to get shower door/window repair. My shower door looks great! read more

I rarely write bad reviews, but this needs to be said. After several phone attempts to get a bid, I finally physically went in to see if someone could come out and give me an estimate for a bathroom mirror with cut-outs for lights and 2 built-in glass shelves. The day finally arrived for installation and when the young man went to put the mirror up (with difficulty), the cut-outs were completely off! Like about 2 inches. He said the replacement would take several more weeks, so reluctantly I said let's check the light fixtures and see if they will cover the mistake. Luckily they did. I watched him install the glass shelves, but it was weeks later that I finally looked closely. Both shelves do not fit properly-too narrow in the back, and the front barely squeezed in, so much so, that the paint and wall were indented. Such poor and lazy measuring on his part. I was supposed to get a shower door also, very glad I didn't!! I'm so unhappy with this whole thing, I will never use them again. read more

They're great! Ask for Wayne. I had Sunset Glass fabricate a master bath shower door (looks amazing), huge mirror, glass shelves, and also a smaller mirror for a powder room. On time and pricing was reasonable. read more

Lady seemed nice enough on the phone. Asked how many windows. I said "I need a bunch upstairs replaced. I need an estimate to tell you how many at a time because we may need to do this in stages." I asked if they can handle repairing dry rot. She seemed wary but didn't say no. Just asked how extensive it is. Said "I have no idea but you did my neighbor's front windows and he has the same issues as us." She asked for neighbor's name, read me back my phone number and said estimator was busy but would call. That was 5 days ago. Forget you Sunset Glass. Seriously. Normally I don't pay much attention to the reviews of disgruntled people who didnt get past the front door of a business but this kind of customer F You would give me pause of ever using this company if I were searching for a window replacement contractor. Serious lack of commitment here. Hello? Whole upstairs of house needs window replacement? Dumb loss of my business and loss of referrals to friends who might have used them. read more

Very poor customer service. Requested a quote, never got a call back. Followed up and was expected to understand all the nomenclature regarding window repair and then got snarky when i didn't know the answers. Why not send someone out to do an inspection and give an estimate? read more

We live and own in the avenues of the Richmond District, since 1998. I have to say I had the same experience with customer service. I actually walked into the shop one Saturday and spoke with them about our project needs: old windows needing to be replaced with new windows and wanting to do a frameless glass shower. The women at the front desk took my information and said they would call to schedule for someone to come by to take measurements, etc. the following week. That was some time back now, months. Figured they didn't want the business. read more

Do not waste your time with these people. Their customer service is terrible. And this is coming from a former customer! I spent the better part of six months trying to get them to return my calls about a simple repair for some work they did and apparently, they have better things to do. This is the first negative review I've ever written in my life, but as a home owner, it's important to take care of your investment and there are businesses out there that will gladly take your call. I don't like to see people fail but I think this company is heading that way fast. read more
