“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.
That haze between the panes of your bedroom window — the cloudy film that shows up worst on a humid morning — is insulated glass unit (IGU) seal failure. The perimeter seal that keeps the dual-pane cavity airtight has broken down, and moisture-laden air has migrated inside. UV exposure, daily temperature cycling, and age are the three causes; most IGUs last 15 to 25 years, and coastal Marin humidity shortens that span.
The fix is rarely a new window. When the frame, sash, and hardware are sound, B & L fabricates a replacement IGU and swaps it into the existing opening. The trim stays. The frame stays. It's typically far less expensive and faster than full window replacement — and the new IGU is your moment to upgrade to Low-E coatings and argon fill that outperform the original spec. If the frame itself is failing — rot, racking, hardware shot — that's a different conversation, and we'll point you toward our Home Window Repair and Replacement service instead.
An IGU is the sealed glass assembly inside a window frame — not the window itself. B & L fabricates the full residential range:
The North Bay default — two glass lites, a perimeter spacer, sealed edge, gas fill in the cavity. Fits most replacement jobs.
Three lites, two cavities, two gas fills. Higher insulating value. Real acoustic damping. Worth the spec for cold-exposure rooms, near-vineyard or near-road homes where quiet matters, or a homeowner who wants the spec ceiling.
Typical residential IGU glass is 1/8" or 3/16" annealed. Tempered safety glass (1/4") goes into code-required locations within 18" of a door or near a tub. Laminated tempered shows up when sound damping or security is the priority.
Warm-edge spacers — foam, stainless, or thermoplastic — outperform the older aluminum spacers on edge condensation and overall IGU lifespan. We spec warm-edge by default on new fabrications.
Cardinal is the IGU glass we source most often for residential work; Guardian and PPG also turn up across the North Bay supply chain.
A replacement IGU is the moment to tune the spec to the way your room actually faces:
After 65+ years fielding North Bay glass calls, the single foggy bedroom IGU at the 15-to-25-year mark is the most common service request in this category — but it's not the only one. We see whole elevations hitting end-of-life together in 1980s and 1990s build-cycle homes. We see coastal Marin houses where ambient humidity has accelerated seal failure across multiple windows in the same room. We see west-facing wine-country contemporaries where UV exposure cooked the seals on one side of the house years before the rest. Our scope spans Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties — vineyard estates, mid-century ranch homes, modern contemporaries, and mid-rise mixed-use residential above storefront. Property managers running a multi-unit IGU replacement program in a building up to 4 stories — that's our commercial lane too.
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 repair-first choice when a homeowner shows up mid-diagnosis with a foggy IGU and wants a straight answer about whether the whole window has to come out. We hold a 4.8★ Google rating, CSLB License #1058949, and the kind of glass-specification depth that means the right Low-E coating and gas fill for your exposure — not whatever the supplier defaults to.
The repair-first orientation is the moat. Most local shops default-sell the whole window because the ticket is bigger; we'll tell you when the swap is the right call and when it isn't. If the frame is sound, the IGU swap saves you money and time. If the frame is failing, we say so honestly and point you toward full replacement. Either path is backed by the "We Make It Right" service-after-the-sale promise Jeff Rowland built the company on.
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.
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.

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.
Ready to clear that foggy window — and upgrade the IGU while you're at it? A failed insulated glass unit keeps losing insulating value every season; the longer it sits, the more the spec upgrade pays back. Whether it's a single foggy bedroom IGU or a multi-window replacement program across an aging Sonoma County elevation, B & L handles spec, fabrication, and install end-to-end. Clear views again. Quiet, comfortable rooms. The glass earns the wine-country setting.
A foggy or hazy appearance between the panes means the insulated glass unit (IGU) has failed at the perimeter seal — the edge seal broke down and moisture-laden air migrated into the cavity. The three causes are UV exposure, daily temperature cycling, and age. Most residential IGUs last 15 to 25 years before this happens.
In most cases B & L replaces just the failed IGU into the existing frame — the whole window doesn't come out. The swap path works when the frame, sash, hardware, and trim are sound; the new sealed glass unit drops into the existing opening and the trim stays put. Full window replacement is the right call when the frame is failing — rot, racking, shot hardware — or when the existing unit is single-pane to begin with. Send a photo of the foggy window or schedule a site measure for the assessment.
Most residential IGUs last 15 to 25 years before seal failure. Coastal Marin humidity shortens that span; west-facing UV exposure on inland Sonoma and Napa elevations does the same. Sonoma County's 1980s–1990s build-cycle homes are hitting end-of-IGU-life now, which is why foggy glass is the most common window service call we field.
Yes for most North Bay homes. Solar-control Low-E controls summer heat on west-facing exposures; passive Low-E retains winter heat in coastal Marin and north-facing rooms. Argon fill improves the U-value at modest added cost. The replacement IGU is the moment to upgrade — the new build outperforms the failed original.
Stock-spec IGUs typically run 1 to 2 weeks from approved estimate; custom IGUs — low-iron, laminated, triple-pane, krypton — typically run 2 to 4 weeks. The 5-step process covers estimate, site measure, fabrication, QA, and install. The install itself is usually same-day per window.
