Over the last 20 years we have seen many changes in the way people view Eichler homes. In the '70s & '80s Eichler's were the less expensive alternative to more "traditional" housing in the Bay Area. Today Eichler homes are in demand as homeowners have grown to appreciate the open architecture and "flow-through" glass design.
At Palo Alto Glass we specialize in providing the final touches to your new or remodeled bathroom project. From standard framed shower doors to modern frameless units, we can supply you with the shower enclosure that best suits your needs. Let's look at the two basic types of enclosures. First, we have the more traditional sliding or swinging fully framed doors with 3/16 thick tempered safety glass.
Mirrors are a very important part of your bathroom design, and experience is essential to determining the right fit for your needs. At Palo Alto Glass we use our 33 years of experience to help you design your custom mirrors to achieve the desired effect. Used properly they can expand a room to look twice its actual size; poor design can result in reflections you may not have expected.
Painted glass is becoming very popular for kitchen backsplashes, as it provides a colorful and sleek look. Another popular use for white painted glass is to create a beautiful custom whiteboard for your office space. No need to worry about if a standard color will match your decor - we can use any Kelly Moore paint color!
Whether you are looking to protect an existing table surface or have a base that needs a custom glass top, we can provide just what you're looking for. We provide glass tabletops and shelves from 1/8" to 3/4" thick, using a variety of glass types including clear, low-iron extra clear, satin etched, tinted, and obscure patterns.

As Eichler owners, we've wanted to replace our original glass sliding doors with dual-pane ones for quite some time, and add safety film and caulking to the many others around the house.
Dave, Kim and the Palo Alto Glass team were incredibly helpful with quoting, coordinating and follow-up throughout the whole process. Given the price of those huge, gorgeous doors, we appreciated their attention to detail and fantastic, quick service. They were also very accommodating about Covid protocols and safety.
We had a couple of small issues we noticed after the install, and Dave was prompt in responding

Two of their employees came out to do an assessment for an adjacent lot. I caught one of them starting to urinate in the corner of the lot immediately under my balcony. 40 minutes later, they used a construction lift within several feet of some of our living rooms (it's a complex) where they could clearly look right in. No regard for residents. One of them was smoking a cigarette the whole time, despite being feet away from 40 residences. They pushed the lift carelessly through mature redwood trees, snapping off several branches. No respect for the trees.

First class company: product, service, and honesty. We used them when we remodeled our house and again when our landscaper broke our window. The owner Dave and his staff are personable, responsive, smart, and fair. The two men that came to fix the glass during covid time were very professional, competent, and handled my kids playing in the yard with ease.
This is the type of company all businesses should strive to be and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Over the last 23 years, we have used Palo Alto Glass for 3 major projects: our home renovation, an addition, and large cottage next to our home. We live in an Eichler and have 20 sliding glass doors and many floor to ceiling windows. And over the years, they have done an excellent job.
About 7 years after installation, 2 of the doors developed a problem where the seal or spacer between the double panes sagged. Although the doors were functioning normally, they offered to replace them, and again, they did a beautiful job.
I highly recommend Palo Alto Glass. They do a very good job on the initial

One of our window was damaged by termites terribly, so I asked the Home Depot window service to come by to give me a estimate. The guy was not much motivated to take the job because it is one window. I don't blame him though, so I decided to take on this task on my own instead. I shopped for a few window companies and only Palo Alto Glass stood out. Kim from customer service team is insanely great and she made sure I got the great advice from their window expert. I am so happy to repair all the damaged wood and put up a nice beautiful window myself. Thanks Kim.

We used Palo Alto Glass to replace several large 6x10 ft windows in our Eichler home in San Mateo. They did a fantastic job!
We trusted them to install the glass when we were at work. When we got home, everything was done expertly & the place in & out was super clean. They were able to re-use our existing trim boards, which makes it very easy to touch up the paint.
I found their communication with me to be open & timely.
I would definitely recommend them to other Eichler owners particularly.

Called as one industry professional to another with some questions about a specific product. The woman was enormously pained to take literally two minutes out of her day to answer a question calling it a "huge waste of time". All because I'm not in their service area. Unfortunately for them all of my colleagues and family that do business in their service area will no longer be patronizing this establishment.

I needed a new lid for my aquarium, and Palo Alto glass made a new one quickly and for a great price!
Last Sunday, I broke the lid on my aquarium. It's a rectangular kit that I bought at Petsmart two years ago. Petsmart didn't have a replacement lid, nor did Amazon.
Turns out that, even though my aquarium is rectangular, it's a non-standard shape.
I brought the broken pieces of my lid to Palo Alto glass, and the next day I picked up the lid. Even though this was only a small job, they treated me very well.
When I'm ready for bigger custom glass work, I will go back!

PA Glass was recommended to me as "the guys" to do a small window job at my office in Palo Alto. I called and made a date for an estimate. They didn't show up on time; I found out from a tenant that they'd been by earlier and had measured all kinds of things (I guess since I wasn't there to show them the particular window that needed repair).
I waited for a call from them... and waited... and waited.
8 days later I got a voicemail: "Calling to discuss your window." I called back and asked, "Do you think I'd hire you now, when you missed our appointment
