“Great Customer Service”
B & L Glass helped me with a door and their team was very professional. Great customer service. I will continue to hire them for sure.
Catalog stock covers the easy 80%. The remaining 20% — unusual openings, performance pulled tight to a Title 24 envelope, fire-rated separations, opacified spandrel courses on a curtain-wall infill — is where custom fabrication shows up on the drawings.
Custom-manufactured glazing gives the design team three things off-the-shelf can't deliver. Design freedom — radius cuts, oversized lites, ceramic frit and silk-screen patterns, opacified panels — so the glass carries the architectural intent rather than forcing a workaround. Performance to spec — U-value, SHGC, VLT, and fire ratings tuned to what the envelope and code path actually require. Code compliance — fire-rated assemblies and safety glazing built to the exact rating the drawings call out, not the closest substitute on a distributor's shelf.
The fourth advantage is local. B & L 's Santa Rosa shop sits between a residential glazier (no real fab capability) and a high-rise mainland fab house (long lead times, no design-assist that doesn't ride a rep). For North Bay projects, that lane is the moat — drawings reviewed in person, samples on the bench, fabrication on a turnaround that fits the GC's schedule.
The B & L custom-fab catalog covers the architectural glazing scope most North Bay commercial and mid-rise mixed-use projects need:
20-minute through 90-minute ratings, with 2-hour assemblies where the application supports it. We build with Pilkington Pyrostop and Pyroshield families for code-driven separations, doors, sidelights, and borrowed-light openings.
back-painted, ceramic-frit, and opacified spandrel for floor-line concealment and curtain-wall infill. Color-matched to the vision lite or specified independently per the architect's elevation.
radius-cut, trapezoidal, triangular, and irregular openings for unusual geometry, gable ends, and non-orthogonal facades.
solar control, bird-friendly, branded, or purely decorative; specified per panel or per elevation.
shop-built panels delivered ready-to-install on TI timelines, so the GC's interior schedule isn't held hostage by glass.
non-standard sizes, specialty coatings, warm-edge spacers, and triple-glaze builds where the energy spec calls for them.
laminated overhead glass and structural performance to spec for daylit lobbies, atriums, and overhead vision.
museum and exhibit glass, medical imaging glazing, hospitality and cultural-institution one-offs that don't fit a catalog SKU.
Custom-fabricated glazing shows up across nearly every commercial project type B & L touches in the North Bay:
Send room dimensions, photos, and project details. We provide a no-obligation estimate within 1-2 business days.
On-site templating captures the actual conditions — wall flatness, openings, and substrate. A 50% deposit confirms your project for fabrication.
Glass is cut, edged, and finished in our Santa Rosa shop. CRL hardware is sourced in your selected finish. Lead times typically run 2-4 weeks.
Quality inspection on every piece — edges, hardware, and finish — before scheduling your install at your convenience.
A B & L crew installs end to end, walks you through operation and care, and collects the final balance — backed by our "We Make It Right" guarantee.
For 65+ years, B & L Glass has been the North Bay's in-house custom architectural fabricator — the lane between a residential glazier and a high-rise mainland fab house. We hold a 4.8★ Google rating, CSLB License #1058949, and the kind of mid-rise mixed-use scope (up to 4 stories) that local glaziers don't carry and national fabricators don't bother quoting.
The combined moat is simple. Our Santa Rosa shop fabricates fire-rated assemblies, spandrel panels, custom-shape lites, frit-patterned glass, custom IGUs, and custom-fabricated glass walls/conference rooms and offices in-house — turnaround measured in weeks, not months, because the glass is built where it's quoted. Design-assist is direct: drawings reviewed in person, samples on the bench, shop drawings issued by the same team that will fabricate the work. National fabricators do this through reps; we do it directly, backed by the "We Make It Right" service-after-the-sale promise Jeff Rowland built the company on.
Have a custom architectural glazing spec to fabricate? Bring the drawings and the performance requirements — we'll review the scope, walk the substrate and coating options, and quote the build. 65+ years in the North Bay. In-house Santa Rosa fabrication shop.

I had a window repair Job a week ago. I bumped accidentally on the phone with Stacey from B & L Glass, while looking for another glass repair shop... She was patient and courteous with me so she got my business... It has been a small job, but everybody was very helpful and everything went smoothly, better than I expected. 'Will be back for some more.
Polite, friendly, professional! B & L Glass delivers top-notch service at a competitive price! We are very happy with the quality of our new shower enclosure!
We replaced our shower with a frameless glass enclosure. From the bidding process through the completion of the project, B & L Glass provided excellent service. They finished the project on time and we are very happy with our new shower. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation.
I have nothing but great things to say about the gentleman that came to do the work at my Father's house. Our sliding glass door was jammed, we called around and were told by every other place I called that they don't repair them. That I would need a new one. I got a quote from Anderson's to replace the entire sliding glass door and 5 windows (glass and frames) and boy was that ridiculous over $30k. I called B & L to replace the sliding glass door and a couple of windows that were very foggy they came out and measured and asked why I wanted to replace the sliding glass door when they could just fix it. The gentleman could have tried to upsell me to replace the glass on all my windows and sliding glass door but he didn't. In fact he saved me money by telling me they didn't replace sliding glass doors. I could have ended up going with another company and replaced the sliding glass door but he said don't do that we can fix it. They Arrived right at 8 when they gave me a window 8-9 for measurements. That is refreshing! When it came time for install the gentlemen again arrived on time, they were very professional and did great work. Fixing our sliding glass door was no easy task my father and I tried to fix it our self but was rather complicated! So glad we reached out to B & L!
We needed a replacement set of shower doors for a residential home we are prepping to sell. After dropping another company due to their lack of communication and follow-through; we have been delighted with the promptness, efficiency, professionalism and excellent communication throughout our experience with B & L Glass. It has been a pleasure to work with B & L and we will certainly use this company for any future needs.
I have contacted B and L glass for repairs to windows on two different homes. They do excellent work and make the process of replacing a window very easy.
Jeff and his team are a pleasure to work with. They make the process simple and easy. Their work is detailed and professional. They are very focused on customer service and the office staff is friendly and personable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for all of our glass needs.
Meticulous work by both crews. The finish work was outstanding. Very happy with these replacement windows in our townhouse. Would recommend B and L highly.
This company is AWESOME! We were calling different companies for some pricing and time of a shower door enclosure and not having much luck with people returning our calls. Jeff from B & L Glass came out to our house the very next day and the next thing we know we were having a new shower enclosure put in. This company keeps in touch with you from beginning to end. All of their staff are so professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company to all my family and friends. Thank you B & L Glass for making this process so effortless and my beautiful shower enclosure!🤩🏆
Wow absolutely professional and great timely work. They did an amazing job. Austin and Carlos came out and were friendly and comfortable we enjoyed them they worked great as a team we highly recommend them. Thank you B and L Glass.
B & L did a fantastic job for us: timely, done right, price was reasonable. Excellent; would recommend and use again!
Stacy from B & L was amazing to work with. I placed a small order with her and when I needed to change it, she jumped on the phone, caught production in time and helped me find the solution with a smile in her voice. As someone who has been in customer service myself, it's never a fun call to get to change an order last minute (I'm sorry, Stacy!). Stacy didn't skip a beat. As a result, I'm leaving our interaction with positive impression and will definitely work with her again in the future.
Have used B & L glass several times to replace windows. Have found them to be courteous, friendly, and professional. Quality of work is very good.
We had a large mirror in a bathroom replaced by B & L. They were on time and budget. Install was done quickly and cleanly. Highly recommend B & L.
I called B & L glass they came to measure my table it has a lot of fancy round edges but they managed to do it to perfection. I am very happy with the way it turned out.
Since we first started building Stanroy Music Center's new home on 4th Street twelve years ago, B & L Glass has been our go-to glaziers! They consistently amaze and delight with their prompt, friendly, and professional service, and I would excitedly refer them to anyone looking for related materials and/or installers! SIX stars!
The two large corner bedroom windows look terrific. They were installed quickly and professionally. We are very happy with the service we received. Thanks Matt for doing a great job all around.
Communication and planning was prompt, easy, and friendly. Quality work. It was a very straightforward and successful experience getting a large double paned living room window replaced.
Professional, efficient and effective. They showed up when they said they would (an unusual quality for providers around here). Both the person who assessed the job and those who completed the work were top notch. Highly recommend.
B & L sales did a great job of showing us alternative glass enclosures. When it came time to order and measure, the technician that came to our home was knowledgeable and provided us with a good choice of installation options. When the glass arrived, the two installers were friendly and took care at insuring that we had a quality installation. The final result is an awesome shower enclosure.

We are thrilled with our new shower doors. The process was quick and easy. I've never worked with such a quiet and efficient installation crew. 5 stars to you.
Stress free window and sliding glass door replacement. Easy peasy. Got quote from email, scheduled measurements, paid deposit, scheduled replacement, paid balance. Showed up when they said, didn't even have to be home. I highly recommend B & L Glass
We are so glad we worked with a trusted local company for our new windows. It's a big investment but with Haley's help and expertise we made sure we had each window specification exactly on point for the needs of each room. She made sure the details were perfect. The installation team of Matthew, Jeremy and Trevor was a professional, well oiled machine! They worked hard and quickly - they also worked around my work from home schedule and make things happen quickly without a lot of disruption. We are thrilled with our new windows and just wish we'd made the leap sooner. Haley and the installation team did an amazing job!
I couldn't be happier with the work done by B & L Glass. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and meticulous. They diligently worked with me on my glass research process, then replaced and installed glass throughout my home with outstanding precision and care. The results look beautiful, and the quality of craftsmanship truly stands out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier glass work.
Had a 3-sided neo-angle shower enclosure installed by B & L. Looked great except there was no door stop added. I didn't realize I needed one (they're optional) until a guest kept opening it inward, banging the door against the showerhead. Matt and Jake came out and installed one at no additional cost in under 10 minutes. Great service and attitude! Much appreciated, guys!
This company is fantastic! We originally decided to call for a bid due to a broken garage window (it's baseball season). The representative that came out was friendly and helpful so we decided to ask about a cost to replace an ugly old yellow window as well. They listened to my ideas about what I wanted in place of the old window, and we decided to go ahead and replace it. When the day came for installation, the crew was on time and friendly. They told us they had allotted 4 hours for the job and they completed it in half that time. By the time they left I couldn't even tell they had been there except for the beautiful new windows. Everything was sparkling clean! We are so happy with our new window and glass replacement. I will absolutely call B & L for any future glass needs.
We had some misalignment in a couple exterior bi-fold doors and B & L sent someone out so quickly and they fixed the issues with ease. They even recommended maintenance to ensure the doors would last a lifetime. So grateful for the help! Thank you!
We just completed a major glass replacement job at our house with B & L Glass Company and were extremely satisfied with their customer service and professionalism. Haley, working as our contact person, was extremely helpful, patient with our questions, friendly and kept open and timely communication during the duration of our project. We really appreciate the time she put into making sure we were satisfied with the end product. The technicians, from the estimators to the installers, were very professional throughout the process. All were experienced, friendly and it was obvious they took pride in their work by the excellent job they did. We would absolutely call on BL Glass again for any future work we may need and highly recommend this company for your home glass projects.
Have a spec to fabricate? Bring the drawings, the performance requirements, and the schedule. We'll review the scope, fabricate the assembly in our Santa Rosa shop, and either install with our in-house crew or deliver the panels to your install team — whichever the project calls for. Lead times stretch when fab work routes through mainland reps; they don't when the shop is local. 65+ years across Sonoma, Napa, and Marin. Design-assist direct from the team that will build the work. Backed by the "We Make It Right" guarantee.
Custom-manufactured glazing is architectural glass fabricated to a project's specific size, shape, performance, or code spec — not pulled from catalog stock. Projects need it for three reasons: unusual geometry (radius, trapezoid, oversized), performance tuned to the envelope (U-value, SHGC, VLT), or fire and safety code requirements that catalog glass can't meet.
Yes. B & L fabricates Pilkington-grade fire-rated glass assemblies in 20-minute, 45-minute, 60-minute, and 90-minute ratings, with 2-hour assemblies where the application supports it. Builds reference NFPA 252/257 and ASTM E119 for the rated separation. Get a quote with the rating and opening details.
Most North Bay custom architectural glass runs 3–8 weeks from approved spec, depending on substrate, coating, and assembly complexity. Lead times beat mainland fab houses on comparable scopes because the Santa Rosa shop is local — no cross-country freight, no rep-routed change orders. Complex IGU plus frit plus fire-rated builds extend the range.
Yes. B & L runs design-assist directly out of the Santa Rosa shop — no rep network in the middle. The sequence: drawings and specs reviewed with the architect, sample fabrication produced on the bench when the spec needs to be seen before it's locked, shop drawings issued, then coordination with the install team (B & L 's crew or the GC's). In-person meetings at the shop or on site are part of the workflow, not a billable carve-out. Bring the drawings and we'll start.
Yes. The custom-fab catalog covers spandrel (back-painted, ceramic-frit, opacified), ceramic-frit and silk-screen patterns, custom IGU configurations, radius-cut and shaped lites, and specialty-trade glazing for museum, medical imaging, hospitality, and cultural-institution work. Send the drawings and we'll quote the assembly.
