Older Homes, Done Right

Oakland and Berkeley grew up before most of the East Bay: Victorians, brown shingles, Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival homes, many still on original single-pane windows with sash weights in the walls. The bay side is milder and often foggy, the hills burned in 1923 and 1991, and busy corridors bring constant noise. Each of those shapes the right window.

What Matters in Oakland and Berkeley

The issues that come up on almost every estimate here.

Matching older homes

Wood, wood-clad and fiberglass windows with original proportions and divided lites keep the street view right.

Landmarks and design review

Designated landmarks and some historic districts need review for street-facing changes. We check early.

Hills fire zones

Much of the Oakland and Berkeley Hills is a very high fire hazard zone, where tempered dual-pane glass may be required.

Noise corridors

I-580, I-880, I-80, Highway 24, San Pablo Avenue and BART. Laminated glass makes bedrooms noticeably quieter.

Mild, damp climate

Fog and mild weather mean condensation on old single-pane glass, which dual-pane windows largely stop.

Out-of-square openings

Older openings settle over a century. We measure carefully and shim and seal for smooth operation.
