What We Do

The Window Shop was established in 1999 to help homeowners preserve the architectural integrity of their homes built before 1935, by manufacturing custom replacement wood windows and specialty doors. The Bay Area has a rich architectural history that includes Victorian (Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne), Edwardian, Shingle, Arts & Crafts, Craftsman, California Bungalow, Colonial & Georgian Revival, Spanish & Mediterranean Revival, Tudor, Storybook, and French Norman styles. These homes were built by craftsmen dedicated to beauty – where the windows and doors are architectural millwork tailored to the house – and we are proud stewards of their legacy.

Historically Accurate

Every project starts with the existing architecture. We take detailed measurements and match the original profiles, proportions, and divided-light patterns.

Premium Wood

Tight-grained vertical grain Douglas fir, redwood, mahogany, and specialty woods are used for strength, stability, and beauty.

Local Craftsmanship

Timeless craftsmanship, start to finish. Traditional joinery and meticulous detail. Built for generations.

Fitting a new wood window into an existing frame

Expert Installation

Older homes rarely have perfectly square openings. We fit every window to its existing frame with precision, protecting trim and siding along the way.
