Greg’s Glass

So Greg is a great guy. He’s a one man show that is hard to nail down. He’s good at what he does and thats glass replacement. He’s not so good at juggling phone calls and appointments. If you hang in there and give him some gentle reminders that you’d like his services then he’ll eventually show up. If you have an emergency you’ll have to pony up and go with a «Pro» service. If you’d like to save some dough and have it done well, you’ll have to sacrifice reliability of Greg showing up. Call Greg and don’t be shy to then call him again.

Wow this company truly needs to be noticed!
From the moment I called them, got a quick response to come to the site, and fast quality workmanship that I haven’t had a chance to experience before.
As a business owner myself, I as well do everything that I can for my clients and it’s really hard to find businesses like that.
I had a job in Richmond district and one of my employee’s broke a glass on a window frame. Not only that it was a Saturday but it was past 5pm. I called 5 companies and Greg was the one who picked up the phone. He arrived quickly, measured the area, went to the shop, returned and replaced the broken single pane glass piece on Victorian house.
Thank you Gregs Glass, I will definitely call you again in the future. Highly recommend!
No need to look further.

Greg specializes in old school wood frame windows. Some kids threw rocks through 3 windows in my living room on Friday night, and I called Greg Saturday morning. He was sympathetic and while he doesn’t typically work on weekends, he stopped by on Sunday and did part of the job.
Greg is a hero, he is meticulous and ensures a high quality job. While it takes him longer because he is a one man operation, he doesn’t mind spending all day on one window if that’s what it takes to get it right. He is very experienced with old wooden single pane window frames, the kind most popular in SF homes. I felt confident he would do a great job on both the flat as well as the big curved window (we used plexi on that). The curved was challenging since we couldn’t take the frame out, but Greg got creative and did a fine job regardless.
Also, Greg made several trips to my place through the week and spent a lot of hours each time, and was way more reasonable than anybody else.
Scheduling with Greg can be tricky but it is understandable since he does scheduling as well as jobs themselves, but if you can be patient you will get a great job done at a very reasonable price!

Short review: Greg is a professional that knows windows, glass, and doors with glass. He can install it, fix it, or maintain it. Very responsive… as in comes out super quickly and does what he says.
Long (drawn out) review: Okay I’m sitting in my Doctor’s office when all of a sudden my cellphone pings me with a text: My tenant’s has F’d up a window and it might fall on someone if it is not fixed quickly. My Doc is taking my blood pressure and gasps… your ¹⁷⁵⁄₁₀₀ are you okay, are you using stimulants… Funny guy.
The beauty of Unilocal,and the reason I love you so and try and pay you back with copious honest (albeit obnoxious) reviews, is that i can text my tenant’s assistant, Unilocal links of various window repair shops… or anything for that mater.
Well after sending Nicole 5 Unilocal suggestions for window repairs she hit pay dirt with Greg’s Glass. Greg picked up the phone, came out, and fixed the broken window in minutes. I will keep Greg on speed dial… just for the next little issue.
Thank you Unilocal and Thank you Greg!

This review is very overdo. Greg did a fantastic job fixing our French doors after they had been damaged by a freaked-​out raccoon. He was authentic and fun to talk to and even showed me how glass cutting works. I would definitely recommend Greg.

I called Greg this morning (Saturday) at 8:00am. My kitchen window had been broken during the night and I needed it fixed as soon as possible. Greg informed me that he was not working today; at that point I think most places would have ended the conversation there. But Greg inquired about my window and told me the best plan of action to take to get my window fixed ASAP. Greg’s advice led to me getting a new window installed just hours later. Although I did not do business with Greg today, I will be sure to do so in the future – he was an enormous help and proved himself to be an outstanding and honest businessman.

I broke the window by my door trying to get a box spring out of the house and I called Greg and he came right over. Greg was super helpful and fixed my window in no time flat. I highly recommend Greg’s Glass!

Great guy with great work and prices. Look no further. A man of True passion for his Craft is rare!:)

Greg is a craftman that want to get the job done correctly. Our home is 100 years old and a window was damaged during a wind storm. Gary spent a lot of time searching for the correct hardware solution to perform the repair correctly. He also brought in Carlos to help on the installation. It took some time, but the end result was excellent! A job well done.

Poor Greg. He had to struggle with an ancient window. He did an amazing job. Thanks so much!

Greg did a great job repairing our window like a true craftsman instead of just replacing something that doesn’t need to be replaced and overcharging me. He was totally flexible and such a good guy. I almost wish I had more broken windows to fix.

I broke an 80-​year old window in my house on New Year’s Eve day, so gave Greg a call. He answered immediately and was very friendly and professional as he took down the key facts. He also explained the difference between new and antique glass and wanted me to be sure of my decision.
On arrival, I mentioned another window I had was stuck and he was up a ladder in no time, coaxing a window that hadn’t been closed in 3+ years closed. It was a bit of a slog but he kept at it and genuinely relished his success.
The broken window ended up being more complex than anticipated, due to earlier «schlub-​job» fixes that Greg had to undo before he could fix. He worked intently for several hours before triumphantly bringing the new window back in for fitting. He even puttied and painted over the nails & trim to leave the window just as it had been. Despite the extra work, he honoured his original quote.
Greg has the air of an old-​school craftsman, who knows his craft inside and out, and takes great pride in doing his best possible job. He loves glass and it shows.

Greg is focused, knows his trade, and loves old Glass. If you want a repair on older buildings with antique glass, he is your man.
I cannot add anything more to the other reviews.

I needed to install a panel at my flat. Greg had the exact kind I was looking for and did it the day after he took measurements. It only took him 20 mins!
All the other places I called did not have the right type of glass and had to order/​paint it
Very nice man I highly recommend him

Yes, he is a deal. But after agreeing to come by to fix the window, he didn’t show for 5 days, each day saying he was coming the next. He doesn’t answer his phone and voice mail is full so each day I had to call 5−10x to get a hold of him. He then needed to come back to do finish but forgot so that was another set of calls. Nice guy but disorganized and I would pay more to have recouped the hours of calls and aggravation to finish a simple one window pane repair. Work was fine… just want you to know what you are getting into…

I was looking for (vinyl) window replacement contractor for our house in SF, which is not Greg’s area of work. But he graciously and timely returned the message I left with his wife and made a suggestion of whom I might be able to call. What a genuinely nice guy!

Greg is professional, meticulous, and takes great pride in his work. I needed a bathroom window in an Victorian apartment building replaced when it fell down a light well. Greg not only replaced the glass, he fixed the wobbly wooden frame, and reattached the counterweights which had broken off years ago. He also made sure that the job area was neat and clean during and after.
And for a price that was more than fair. What he charged for the whole job, others wanted just to replace the glass.
He knows his way around older buildings, and has knowledge of old school techniques and craftsmanship.
He is a rare vendor who goes out of his way to make sure the job is done well, done for a fair price, and makes sure the customer is happy.
I would rate him 6 stars if they had them.

Greg is a personable, friendly, honest craftsman. He balances quirkiness and professionalism which makes it enjoyable to work with. This man loves his glass and will find the right piece for your needs. We needed glass panels replaced in our french doors and he spent the time to find antique glass from old windows that really made the door look amazing-​he even thought about how the glass and light interact.
Look no further for your glass needs.

Fair price and honest.

Greg came early in the day the very next day after I called him. I asked him to replace our garage window (10.5“x16″) and he was super quick. I expected the repair to cost me about $ 50, he kindly reduced the price to only $ 25. He’s totally friendly and we will definitely call him again!
