He showed up on time, was meticulous with his measurements, provided competitive pricing, and delivered on everything he promised. He and his team replaced nine different windows and screens for us, and the quality of the work was excellent. The new glass looks flawless and matched the existing windows perfectly. It's refreshing to work with someone who communicates well, does exactly what they say they're going to do, and takes pride in the finished product. I strongly recommend Ram and his team for any window or glass work.

I then had a few different companies come out to fix and replace the two difficult corner windows. The owner of Anytime Glass named Hakim came out and was extremely knowledgeable about windows. He knew the most about windows, his price was the most reasonable, and he was a genuinely good man! We then hired Anytime Glass to replace and install two new, difficult to install corner windows. We also decided to replace a front window with a specially tinted security window. Anytime Glass did a fantastic job on every window, even the difficult corner windows! Just to be sure, we even had a licensed contractor friend come out and inspect the newly installed windows. He was so impressed by the quality of the installation that he hired Anytime Glass as a subcontractor for his contractor company! Hakim even examined a weatherstripping problem I had with my front door, and fixed it at no cost. What a gentleman! I then hired Anytime Glass to replace a guest bathroom shower door. I had been told that the space was too tight and there could be no shower door installed. Hakim looked at it and said, yes, it can be done. I trust Hakim will do a great job. I am super impressed and very happy with the work (and the price) of Anytime Glass!

We live in a 100 year old home in Berkeley with original true divided lite casement windows. Over…read moretime they had become dry rotted, drafty, noisy, and in some cases inoperable. They needed to be replaced for the next century. I learned about Murph online last year and reached out. He came by in person to assess the windows and provide an estimate. He gave me a competitive estimate and added us to his queue. He was able to start sooner than expected, which was great. From the first day, his attention to detail and professionalism stood out. He works alone, keeps a spotless work area, is extremely punctual, communicates clearly, and is very thoughtful and considerate in the house. Murph works with a local woodworker who builds the windows using high quality wood, and the finished product is outstanding. These are true one for one reproductions of our originals and they look fantastic. The hardware is beautiful, the glass is significantly upgraded, very strong, and sound resistant, and the weatherproofing system he designed works incredibly well. The house feels warmer, quieter, and more solid than it ever has in the time I have lived here. They are beautiful to look at and the experience of living with them has deepened my appreciation for my home. Murph is a passionate craftsman and he stands by his work. He encouraged us to reach out anytime if something needs an adjustment. He offered to meet with our painters to walk them through best practices for painting the windows, which came primed, and plans to come back afterward to make sure everything was done correctly and that the weatherstripping is reinstalled the right way. He also restored our old front door and brought it back to life. Murph takes real pride in his craft and it shows. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering window restoration or replacement in an older home.

Murph replaced a large arched window, a double hung window, and converted two windows that previously did not open to casement windows for us. The later also uncovered some significant wood rot, which Murph excavated and repaired and it now looks brand new! With each window, Murph took the time to understand what it was we were looking for in terms of window operation and asethics, helping us to pick hardware colors and fittings. In true craftsman fashion, Murph is meticulous about his work. One reviewer commented on how Murph's recommendation for an expensive painter caught them off guard after having shelled out money for their windows, and I can see how this might be an unexpected additional expense, but I truly cannot imagine risking a basic paint job over these gorgeous windows. Murph is extremely thoughtful in who he works with, providing a list of companies he recommends from the get-go. The painters we had come after even commented on their regular partnership with Murph and the quality of his work. The windows Murph replaced for us are the pride and joy of our home and we have received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. In addition to the quality of work, Murph is also just a great human being. He was extremely thoughtful in his use of space during the project, used HEPA filters to keep dust to a minimum, cleaned up after himself every day, and even did thoughtful things like bringing in a package that got delivered while I was out of the house. It's a breath of fresh air to find a person you can trust with your home and I always felt at ease when Murph was around. I cannot recommend Murph enough and already look forward to working with him on future window projects.

A lot of people would scoff at us replacing the glass just for a tiny crack, but not Top Glass. It's a safety hazard to have window panes with small cracks so I replace them as soon as I discover one or am notified about a crack. I have been using Top Glass for the glass repairs. The windows have always been secure, never had any leaks and are always installed on time. Since our windows are over 30 years old (aluminum 1970s style) the crew has to spend several hours measuring the old window to create a template so they can cut the new glass to fit. I would recommend Top Glass for window glass repair since they are always courteous and understanding about my schedule, financial plan and in general are really nice people.
