Pleasant Hill grew up fast after the war, and thousands of its ranch homes are still on their first windows. We replace them with quieter, cooler, dual-pane windows, from Gregory Gardens to the townhomes near the BART station, with our own crew from next-door Walnut Creek.
No subcontractors, ever. You deal directly with Alex and Leon Elbert, the brothers who own the company and show up on your job.
Get My Free QuoteMost of Pleasant Hill is single-story ranch homes from the late 1940s through the 1960s, on streets around Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner and Pleasant Hill Road. Many still have original aluminum sliders or tired first-generation vinyl. Around Contra Costa Centre and the BART station there are townhomes and condos with HOA rules to follow. We handle both, and we’re based a few minutes away in Walnut Creek.

What we see on Pleasant Hill jobs, from the postwar ranch streets to the townhomes by BART.
Gregory Gardens was one of the first big postwar neighborhoods in the county, and homes across Pleasant Hill still have original aluminum sliders that sweat in winter and stick in summer. Most can be replaced as a retrofit, so the exterior walls are never opened.
Around Pleasant Hill BART, many homes belong to an HOA that approves window color, grids and style. Contra Costa Centre is also outside city limits, so permits there go through Contra Costa County. We prepare the HOA paperwork and check which permit office applies.
Pleasant Hill sits in the warm middle of the county, and west-facing rooms heat up fast in the afternoon. Low-E glass built for hot climates keeps that heat out while letting in plenty of daylight.
Homes near the freeways, Contra Costa Boulevard or the BART tracks benefit from laminated or sound-rated glass in the bedrooms.
Inside city limits, permits come from the City of Pleasant Hill. Unincorporated pockets like Contra Costa Centre go through the County. We check and pull it.
Swapping an old aluminum slider for a smooth, well-sealed patio door is one of the most noticeable upgrades in a ranch home.
