I've done a few projects with Blake and his crew now and they've turned out fantastic. Highly recommended!

Fascinating business that deals with plastics in a manner you could not imagine. "Architectural" does not describe the quality and creativity of what they do. They helped me design a display for an antique kimono and advised me on how to protect it from ultraviolet rays. It seems they knew more about the kimono than I did. They do all the museum work in the Bay Area as well many other types of businesses. Their work is very high quality, probably due to their years of experience and design capabilities. They are a far step above Tap Plastics, are not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. I felt the service and price were worth 5 stars. read more

On behalf of the Jesse Peter Multicultural Museum at Santa Rosa Junior College: The new exhibit tops that were custom built by Architectural Plastics are just wonderful! I am just so pleased with them. We received many bids from different companies who do custom construction with museum grade acrylics, and only Architectural Plastics was able to do what we needed: create exhibit cases with a removable side that doesn't have any visible tracks or hinges. The removable side works so well and gives me so much more flexibility and self-sufficiency, and it truly is an invisible seam. I don't know how they did it! The new cases fit our bases perfectly and are so easy to use. I can't believe we went so long having to lift heavy Exhibit tops with a pulley system every time we wanted to change out an exhibit. I can't thank you enough for your company's beautiful work. Also, Jeff is a superb communicator and is totally on top of his game! Top marks, you guys!! Thank you so much. read more

The folks in the shop may be exceptionally talented, but the dudes who grudgingly answer the phones (and ignore all emails until you call them and remind them that they need to check them) are fairly dim and completely disinterested in actually earning anyone's business. I had a part I'd been making in my own garage for several weeks that I wanted to have run on some bigger machines in greater quantities and was told that what I was doing was impossible. I asked for alternative production ideas that they felt might be more possible while accomplishing the same thing and got nothing. I sent them one of my amateur efforts to look at on the off chance that my drawing was somehow failing to clarify something for them and they came back with a completely ridiculous quote that seemed to be more of a "sod off and leave us alone" answer than anything they actually expected anyone to pay. I proposed two more production alternatives that would be easier and cheaper, and they said they didn't know how to weld polycarbonate so I'd have to do it myself. I emailed one photograph to Bell Plastics in Hayward and got an immediate response with a quote that was about an eighth of what Architectural wanted. They had no idea why anyone would say what I wanted was anything out of the ordinary, and I'm inclined to agree as I also made ten more of these impossible things this afternoon with nothing but a track saw and a cheap line bending strip heater. At least I'm getting lots of practice. I guess the moral of the story is don't look to a chicken town for fabrication work. read more

The worst customer service ever. I emailed an inquiry, I called them and it was over 5 days ago, they ignored the email, then were too lazy to convert dims from mm to inches? Seriously? What kind of business is this that doesn't see customer service as being important? read more

Amazing job...happy customer! These people are the experts in their field. I had them fabricate some very large vitrines out of Optimum Museum Acrylic in 2015. They were the most knowledgeable people I spoke with in my extensive research for this project. They did an amazing job of advising me so I could design what I needed for the museum quality artifacts that I was showcasing. They fabricated and delivered the vitrines and they're as perfect today as they were when delivered in 2015. They are the only company that makes these amazing vitrines out of Optium as far as I know. I'm beyond thrilled with their work and so happy they're here in the San Francisco Bay Area! I'm going back to them for more work today and realized that I didn't post a review before. Now that oversight is corrected. read more

Architectural Plastics has the most innovative and knowledgeable people of their industry. Blake and Pierre went above and beyond our expectations in providing great service and their expertise was invaluable to our project. I was very impressed with the quality of their work and learned that they are capable in areas that are unmatched by any other plastics manufacturer in the world. I recommend stopping by their shop for a tour if you're in the area! read more

I've know of this company for many years as they "used" to specialize in plastics fab that few others in the area do. After experiencing 2 days of a busy signal when calling their offices (who has a busy signal these days?) I finally reached a rude guy named Jon who rushed and mumbled his email address to me in order for me to send a drawing, then was a smart a-- when repeating it and finally sent a terse list back stating they could not build what I needed with little explanation and no alternative solution. read more
