A few weeks ago Alba's Glass installed approximately 30 feet of glass railing for our new 3rd floor balcony. We choose side-attached to maximize the space of the balcony, and choose glass so our view of San Francisco Bay was unobstructed. Everything went smoothly and it looks even better than we expected. There is only one metal clip holding each panel of glass to the next and nothing else to distract you from the view. read more

I hired Alba for the second time in a dozen years, this time to replace three compromised, foggy windows that had broken seals that were always unpleasant to look through, and held moisture between the panes, even on hot days. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner and his wife, and their team at Alba are wonderful, responsive people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had new glass installed within a week of our initial consult/bid (which they did the same day I called, wow!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crew is professional, quick, thorough, and left the install areas and room/outside clean.

If you need glass then go to Alba Glass in Berkeley, period. I'm a Contract Property Maintenance Handy Man and in my task list at a job site was to replace a missing custom size Kitchen Cabinet Glass pane. I called Alba and the phone agent was very informative, professional and courteous...letting me know their process for order placing and pick-up. I was informed to email them the Glass pane measurements and I promptly received an estimate for the job. I approved the estimate and went to their shop the next morning to get the Glass cut. The technician at the shop was also very informative, professional and courteous. I had brought the other existing Cabinet door glass pane so the technician could cut an exact precise copy and he did just that. With the technician having taken a close quality control look at his work to ensure his cuts were clean and exact resulting with the new custom cut pane fitting perfect in the Cabinet door. The whole process from ordering to getting the Glass professionally cut was very efficient and took less then an hour and was well worth the $95. Believe me when I tell you, finding a good Glass company is like finding a good auto garage...you simply don't go anywhere else when you need glass for Alba Glass is the only place you need to go!! Thank you for everything, Alba and I'll be bringing all my Glass tasks your way!! read more

Lilian and Alba's Glass are wonderful! They came in, gave me an analysis of what needed to be done, ordered the parts and replaced my double paned window without issue. They also replaced a mechanism on another window...did I mention the windows are on the third floor of a Condo? They did everything from the inside! We were told by other companies that the whole window frames had to be replaced ...thank goodness for Lilian and Alba's Glass. If I could, I would give them more than 5 stars. Honest, reasonable and great customer service. Highly highly recommend!!! read more

There was an attempted break in at my families business early in the AM on Friday, a glass panel on a french door was smashed in. Albas Glass was able to get us all squared away by 4 pm the same day with quality material when no one else could, all at an affordable price. I'd definitely recommend them to anybody needing a window replaced. read more

I was referred to Alba's glass company by my realtor. I was looking to replace the fixed side of a sliding door as well as the fixed side of an upstairs large window, I had to keep the original frames. Alba's crew did a superb job! The process to measure and install the new glass in both sections took 1 week in total. I am very happy with the work done by Alba's and will honestly recommend the services to anyone and I will not hesitate to call them again. Thank you! read more

Excellent, efficient service and job perfectly done. Javier is a great team leader and a pleasure to work with. I give Alba my best rating.

Alba's glass replaced 9 windows in our mid-century home installing factory guaranteed dual glazed windows. Several of the windows were over-sized and required special manufacturing. The day we called to inquire about their services they came over for a preliminary look. When we decided to get a full quote, they came and provided the quote within days. All of the windows were replaced within two weeks. (We are still waiting on a quote from Arrow Glass!) The price was reasonable, they were professional, friendly and the end result is fabulous. Javier and the crew were tidy, careful, and great to have in our home. We would recommend them without hesitation. Lillian is exceptionally responsive. You will be very happy with Alba's Glass. read more

The folks from Alba's were great from the beginning, from initial contact to getting a bid to getting the job done. Lillian is very responsive and Javier and team did a fantastic job with the window restoration, going above and beyond expectations. Highly recommended! read more

I have used them at 2 separate properties and they are always so quick to respond and do a great job! Thank you!

My experience was excellent: I emailed one evening at 9pm drescribing the problem (broken glass on one 22*44 window). I received a quote the next day at 7:30am via email, which I approved. I received a call that same day at 10:30am, offering to schedule the repair that same afternoon between 1-3pm. The team of 2 (Javier and Javier) arrived at 1:30pm to complete the job -- very friendly, very knowledgeable, pointed out several interesting detail about that and other windows in our home -- worked in their van outside for 45 minutes to install the new glass, re-installed the window, fixed a problem because the windows originally wasn't attaching properly to the frame, took all of the detritus with them, and left us with a very nice window upgrade from the original one. This was a pleasant and swift experience end to end, everyone I talked to was friendly and polite, I would definitely use their services again. read more

Alba glass are the best! They are very responsive and make sure you are happy with your purchase.

Love this company! They are fast, reliable, and reasonably priced. I needed a window replaced and a lock fixed on another, I was quoted for both and they came right on time! They fixed the lock fairly easy and didn't even charge me for it! They're amazing! It feels like some companies are trying to take advantage of you, not Alba's. They truly care and pay attention to details. Thanks so much for the help and professionalism! read more

Anytime I have a glass need, Alba is who I call. Fair pricing and quick professional service.

I have used Alba twice now, first when large tempered glass on balcony broke in a windstorm. Recently the fixed panel of sliding glass door shattered. They came out quickly, measured, estimated, cleaned up and boarded up the space. The window was double pane and bronze tint, hard to match. They came back 5 days later with a great match and replaced the window. Very careful and clean. read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I live in an older building in Berkeley and I had a broken window for months. Home Depot was taking months to make this custom window and in the meantime I didn't have a window that closed. Alba's Glass was professional, showed up on time to give an estimate and got the job done in less than a week. They truly know what they are doing and got the job done before the estimate time frame. The level of service they provided was much better than the fools working at Home Depot, who kept on pushing back my delivery date!!! Alba's Glass really came through and I would recommend them for all any kind of window fixing or glass installation. THANK YOU Alba's Glass, you are my go to person for anything glass related. read more

I am a property manager and a realtor, so I end up getting a lot of windows fixed. Every time from Alba I have gotten excellent service, ease of billing and coordination, and a quality end product. I have tried a few others, and then called Alba to fix what those other messed up. Ben and Lilian are the people you should call for your glass and window needs. Period. read more

Our large window had to be replaced. Not only were the contractors rude and showed up 3 hours earlier than scheduled, but they almost broke an existing window next to the one being replaced, took much longer than estimated to replace the one window and poorly installed it. There are so many other much better, qualified and competent window contractors out there who are more deserving of your business. They also damaged my ceiling carrying the window into my home. Do yourself a favor and spare yourself the wasted money and grief of hiring someone incompetent. DO NOT USE ALBA WINDOWS!!! read more

Just used Alba's for a second time for a small residential glass replacement. Javier and Roberto did a fantastic job. Great work, Alba's! Thank you. Alba's was responsive and did high quality work at a fair price. Couldn't ask for more. read more

The folks at Alba's Glass are fast and affordable. Someone smashed my window in the middle of the night. Alba's sent someone out that morning to give me an estimate, and place a board in the frame. They even cleaned up all the glass inside and outside the house. Their competitors wanted several days to do that, and told me to just tape up the window. read more

I recently had a brick thrown through my front window early on a Saturday morning. I called Alba Glass and had a quick response from Lillian in less than an hour. I was frightened by the incident and Lillian had a calm and reassuring voice that helped ease my anxiety of what to do next. Lillian was able to schedule Ben that same morning to come and board up my window. The brick had damaged some of the wooden frame on the window and would need a few days to repair. Luckily, Alba Glass hasa master carpenter on staff to do the needed repair work. Ben told me that I didn't need to take a day off from work when they replaced the window and that everything would be fine and not to worry. A few days later, my window and wooden panes were replaced and looked as good as new! I was so surprised when I returned home and satisfied with the speed and quality of their work. There was no debris inside or outside of my property. I still can't figure out how they managed to do it. Excellent customer service and skilled craftsmanship. This was an emergency and I found their pricing affordable for the quality of work performed and the speedy turn around regarding repair. I have already referred Alba Glass to my co-worker who is equally satisfied and will definitely use Alba Glass in the future. I also like the fact that Alba Glass is LOCAL and in my neighborhood as well as owner operated. Even though Alba Glass does window repair day in and day out, I felt they really cared about ME and my individual circumstances as well as my mental well being during this emergency. "THANK YOU" to LIllian, Ben and the entire Alba Glass crew read more

Wow. I don't understand how this place received even a star. I just left this glass place and I was met by a barking dog. Place is filthy and smells like a dog kennel. At least the dog was nice once he or she warmed up to me, but the lady in front doesn't know anything about customer service. I just asked for a price of the glass and she wasn't interested in talking to me since I was not going to have them install. I felt like I wasn't not welcomed. I spent 2 minutes in this shop. Also she had another customer on speaker phone while she chews her lunch. She literally hung up on the customer when he ask to speak to the store's owner. Wow. This is only a review of the lady I encountered with inside the store. I've never use them for installation services. But the sales lady is terrible. read more

Alba's replaced several dozen small glass panes (double-pane insulated glass) in a handful of my wood windows, which had become cloudy because of broken seals. There was urgency because I was getting ready to sell my house. I was incredibly pleased with their service and the quality of their work. When I first called about two specific windows, Lillian in the office gave me a preliminary estimate via email on the same day. Ben came for precise measurements then next day, and pointed out I needed fewer panes than I thought. His expert eye could better distinguish the internal cloudiness from external dirt than mine. They rushed the order for the custom panes and were back within a few days. Javier did a very careful job installing them. When he was finished, it was not possible to tell work had been done. No painting was even required. A week later I noticed failed panes in three more windows in a different part of the house. Lillian arranged for Javier to measure the next day and they came back for another excellent installation within a few days. While doing the work, they also found a section of the window sash that had dry rot. They were able to reconstruct a matching section and replace only the rotted part, and completed the work in two days. I'm sure others would have simply offered to replace the entire window at much greater cost. While this kind of work is not inexpensive, it is difficult to find people who have the skill to do it. Alba's not only has the skills, but they have the most fantastic customer service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend them. read more

I don't know if this place was ever any good. But now it belongs to people who don't bother to open the office, and when you call them they tell you that you must text them your information and they'll try to have someone get back to you. This business is doomed to failure. I went by last week for an emergency window repair they were closed in the middle of the day. Went by again today they are closed it is 1 PMThe woman who answers the phone is unhelpful at best and bordering on rude. read more

We used Alba's for five windows throughout the house that had needed replacement for some time. Four of them were replaced far more quickly than we'd expected - under two weeks from first call, and while the last was custom ordered and took longer, Alba's was great at keeping us in the loop on the schedule. Great work, and great communications. read more
