Multi-Family & Mixed-Use Glass in Santa Rosa, CA — Windows, Showers, Railings & Storefronts

Serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties for 65+ years. B & L Glass is the North Bay's single-source glazing partner for multi-family and mixed-use construction — unit windows, shower enclosures, balcony and stair railings, and ground-floor storefronts, all bid, fabricated, and installed by our own in-house glazier crews. From a 40-unit apartment build in Rohnert Park to a 4-story mixed-use storefront-over-residential project on the Napa Riverfront, we carry the whole glass package on one contract, on the GC's schedule, to California code. Up to 4 stories, mixed-use is the lane we own — the mid-rise segment small residential shops can't staff and high-rise glaziers won't touch.

One Glazing Partner for the Entire Building

Multi-family projects usually mean four different glass trades: window installers, a shower-enclosure vendor, a railing fabricator, and a storefront glazier. B & L carries all four. A developer or general contractor writes one scope, coordinates one crew, and holds one company accountable from mobilization through punch — instead of chasing four subs across the same schedule.

That single-source depth matters most where the building stacks are used. A ground-floor retail storefront, residential units above, a shared amenity deck with glass railings, and a lobby entry are one continuous glazing package to us, sequenced so each phase lands when the GC needs it. Fewer vendors on site means fewer schedule collisions, cleaner punch lists, and one warranty holder after handoff.

Glass Systems We Install Across Multi-Family Projects

B & L supplies and installs the complete glazing scope for residential and mixed-use buildings:

01

Unit windows

thermally broken aluminum and steel window systems for repeatable unit specs, plus premium lines (Marvin, Milgard, Fleetwood, and Euroline Steel Windows + Doors) where the project calls for a higher tier.

02

Shower enclosures

frameless and semi-frameless tempered-glass enclosures templated per unit, up to 96" tall, with a choice of 20 hardware finishes across our preferred partners.

03

Glass railings

frameless, post-and-clamp, and standoff systems for balconies, breezeways, stairs, and amenity decks, specified to California guardrail code.

04

Storefronts and entries

commercial aluminum storefront systems and entry doors for the ground-floor retail and lobby components of mixed-use buildings, using Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope and Arcadia systems.

05

Common-area and amenity glass

lobby glazing, interior office and leasing-center partitions, mirrors, and heavy-glass features for shared spaces.

Materials, Finishes, and Code Specified at the Measure

Multi-family work lives and dies on repeatable specs and code compliance, so B & L walks the glass, framing, and hardware package at the site measure — not after install.

  • Glass: insulated glass units (IGUs) with low-E coatings for California Title 24 energy performance, tempered safety glass throughout wet and guarded locations, and laminated tempered where sound control or security matters for street-facing and shared walls.
  • Framing finishes: clear and dark bronze anodized, custom powder-coat colors, and thermally broken aluminum to hold the energy spec across dozens of identical openings.
  • Hardware: shower hardware in 20 finishes across our preferred partners (CRL, FHC, and Futures); commercial door hardware for entries and amenity spaces from Von Duprin, Dormakaba, Blumcraft, Rixon, Rockwood, and Ives, including panic devices where occupancy requires them.

Buildings We Serve

B & L handles glazing across the full multi-family and mixed-use spectrum in the North Bay:

  • Apartment and condo communities new construction and renovation, unit windows and shower enclosures at volume.
  • Townhome and infill developments repeatable window and railing packages across attached units.
  • Mixed-use, up to 4 stories storefront-over-residential buildings where retail, lobby, and residential glazing all sit on one contract. This 2-to-4-story lane is a B & L specialty.
  • Senior living and multi-generational housing ADA-conscious entries, accessible shower configurations, and durable common-area glass.
  • Hospitality-residential and tasting-room lodging wine-country projects where the glass package is part of the guest experience.

Our Multi-Family Installation Process

01

Inquiry & Estimate.

Send drawings, unit counts, elevations, and the window/railing/storefront schedule by text, email, or web request. We return a preliminary estimate or a formal bid in the format your project expects.

02

Site Measure & Deposit.

Our team field-verifies openings, guard heights, and rough-opening conditions across the building — not off the plan set alone — and coordinates around the construction schedule. 50% deposit collected

03

Order or Fabricate.

Window and storefront systems are ordered, glass is fabricated to spec, and shower and railing hardware is sourced across the unit count. We stage by phase so material lands as each floor or building comes online.

04

Inspect & Schedule Install.

Incoming material gets a QA pass — glass integrity, hardware finish, ADA and Title 24 verification — and install is sequenced with the GC, phased for occupied buildings where needed.

05

Install & Final Payment.

Our in-house glazier crews complete the install, the punch list is walked with the GC or property manager, and the final balance is paid. Our "We Make It Right" guarantee anchors the handoff.

Why Choose B & L for Multi-Family Glazing

For 65+ years, B & L Glass has filled the gap in the North Bay multi-family market — the mid-rise, mixed-use, and volume-residential work that sits above what small shower-door shops can staff and below the high-rise curtain wall that structural-glazing specialists chase. We run the full stack out of one company: bidding from drawings, field measuring, fabricating glass, and installing with employed glazier crews rather than subcontractors. We hold a 4.8★ Google rating and CSLB License #1058949, and we're members of the North Coast Builders Exchange and Marin Builders Association.

That single-source capability is what makes a developer's schedule easier to hold. One vendor covers the unit windows, the shower enclosures, the balcony and stair railings, and the ground-floor storefront, backed by our "We Make It Right" guarantee — the standard Jeff Rowland built the company on.

“Better Than I Expected”

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.

“He Saved Me Money Instead of Upselling”

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!

“Helped Me Find the Solution with a Smile”

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.

“A Professional, Well Oiled Machine”

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!

“Great Service and Attitude”

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!

“Beautiful New Windows, Sparkling Clean”

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.

Contact B & L Glass Today

Bidding a multi-family or mixed-use project? Let's scope the glass package. Whether it's a new apartment community, a townhome infill, or a storefront-over-residential build on a downtown corner, B & L delivers the whole glazing scope — windows, showers, railings, and storefronts — on one contract, sequenced to your schedule and installed by our own crews. Bring the plan set, the unit schedule, or the elevations. We'll walk the project, spec every opening to code, and install it end to end out of one company.

Multi-Family Glass FAQs

Can B & L handle the entire glass scope on a multi-family project?+

Yes. B & L supplies and installs unit windows, shower enclosures, glass railings, and ground-floor storefronts on a single contract for multi-family and mixed-use buildings. Carrying all four trades under one vendor means one schedule to coordinate, one crew on site, and one warranty holder after handoff — instead of managing four separate glazing subcontractors.

What size of multi-family building does B & L work on?+

B & L glazes multi-family and mixed-use buildings up to 4 stories across Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties. Mixed-use storefront-over-residential between two and four stories is a specialty — the mid-rise lane most local glaziers skip. We do not work high-rise above 4 stories or full-facade curtain walls; those projects belong with structural-glazing specialists.

How tall can the shower enclosures be for apartment and condo units?+

B & L installs frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures up to 96" tall, templated to each unit's actual opening rather than a nominal size. Glass is tempered safety glass, and hardware is available in 20 finishes across our preferred partners. Templating per unit is what keeps a repeatable spec fitting real-world framing across an entire building.

Do your glass railings meet California building code for balconies and stairs?+

Yes. California Building Code requires a minimum 42" guardrail height on open sides of balconies, decks, and breezeways, and 34" on open sides of stairs. B & L specs and installs frameless, post-and-clamp, and standoff glass railing systems to code on every project, using tempered laminated glass where the guarded condition requires it.

Can B & L phase installation around an occupied or partially completed building?+

Yes. B & L stages fabrication and schedules installation by phase, so material lands as each floor or building comes online and crews work around occupancy or construction sequencing. We coordinate directly with the general contractor's schedule and confirm a project-specific install plan at the site measure. Send drawings or call 707-546-4143 to scope it.
