I am Facilities Manager for twelve Head Start preschools in San Francisco. Brian and the rest of the team at Golden Gate Glass always gives us the very best service at a fair price. I deal with multiple contractors nearly every day, and Golden Gate Glass is one of the best. Highly recommended.

We had a mishap where a window with 1940's starburst privacy glass was accidentally broken by a painter. After making call after call around town to try and find a match, another glass shop told me to try this place. Brian was terrific: responded quickly via email and was able to get the glass we need cut straight away.

Good price and exceptional service. There was a problem with my window at first but they came back and made it right. I appreciate all that they did to make sure my window was replaced properly.

Thank you Golden Gate Glass for a great experience with the installation of our new glass in our patio doors. We had true divided light windows in our wooden patio doors that had fogged up within a year of installing these expensive Marvin doors. Brian, Golden Gate's owner was very helpful throughout the experience and Matt, who installed the windows could not have been more professional and pleasant. We also are having them replace the screens in 3 windows and the sliding door. We recommend this company and will ourselves call them for any future glass or window needs.
