Weather-stripping provides superior thermal performance by reducing air infiltration and heat loss. Frame options: Replacement frame, Regular nail fin frame, J-fin designed with brick mold accent frame. ABC Windows has easy-care vinyl frames that are available in many different colors for the interior and exterior.
Typically, vinyl windows are made out of a compound known as polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. In general, PVC can be difficult to push through the dies, in order to make the extrusion. To aid the PVC through the dies, plasticizers are added to make the compound more pliable. While plasticizers aid in the production of the extrusion, they can have some adverse side effects as well.
Founded in 1959 by Robert "Curley" Vogt, ABC Windows got its start manufacturing and installing custom replacement aluminum windows out of their San Francisco Noe Valley shop. Curley had the early insight that the best way to ensure customer satisfaction was to manufacture and install his own products with a single warranty that covers both.
Sliders are windows that open sideways, give ample ventilation and offer larger viewing areas than most. Often sliders are used to meet egress because of the large openings and ease of use. These are usually the least expensive of all the window types. What makes them affordable is the fact that the window is very simple, having the lock as the only mechanical part and using basic seals.
Vinyl windows are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Basically, they ae made of the same material as plumbing pipes and fittings. The vinyl is extruded into straight pieces and then the material is cut and welded to form the window frames. Most window types can be made from vinyl and is affordable. Also, vinyl is a good material for insulation, yet another reason vinyl is commonly used.

Hired ABC windows to do all the windows in my home. I had paid extra to have the larger windows to have tempered glass, and a couple years after one of the windows broke. From the crack pattern on the window, we could clearly tell that the window was not tempered. So if this one window was not tempered, all the other ones I paid for probably were not tempered either. Further tried to contact the company about this issue that they stopped responding to my emails. This company is clearly lacking integrity - in addition, when I watched the installation of my windows it did not seem to be up to par

We were in desperate need of a new sliding patio door to replace our 20 yr. old slider that opened loud and extremely rough and took someone with mega strength to open and close it. I contacted ABC Windows in late June and was fortunate that Adel and installer, Juan, were in the area that day and could come over that afternoon to assess the job.
Adel was extremely knowledgeable and explained in detail the various materials used in their products and the options, while Juan assessed what would be required for the installation. Adel explained that everything was done in-house and it would take

Today (3/10) I had an appointment to install the window glass for our home. The person who installed it, Miguel, was very nice and professional. He had a great relationship with the customer (myself) and did an excellent job. I am very happy with the service the ABC company provided. Everyone was very professional and kind. Thanks again!

I called for an estimate for a single glass window and I was quoted a min of $850.......$850 for one window? I figured it out with $75 worth of glass and YouTube videos to aid in the installation. go with these guys if you want to spend an unprecedented amount of money for an easy job. Would you pay $850 for a cheese burger? Of course not so keep looking.

We appreciated Adel with ABC Windows as he came to our house and was on time and prepared to look at our window project. He asked a lot of questions to make sure he was going to supply what we wanted with our new windows. A few days later, Adel followed up the visit with a Bid for the job which was very competitive compared to other bids that we had received. At one point, we were waiting on other bids and Adel called to see if we had any questions on the bid. He was very thorough and very friendly with his visit to our house and subsequent conversations. We would recommend that you contact

I was so impressed with the team at ABC windows. From the moment I called. They were very prompt and professional. Jim came by to look at the project, got a quote right away. Got my windows measured, got an appointment. The crew arrived
right on time and did a great job. I would recommend ABC windows to anyone that enjoys working with family owned businesses and prompt replies.

Great windows, wonderful customer service and installers. I used ABC years ago for windows in the back room. When I needed new windows, they were one of a few estimates and they came out the best. They make their own very sturdy and beautiful vinyl windows so perhaps that's one reason. I did research on what makes a good window NFRC ratings and types of glass. Besides the test of time from my back room windows, they come out as high quality.

After a search, I reported workers stole from my home. I called the company. Was hung up two times before the conversation began. The company said they would ask about it. I made a stupid mistake calling it stolen. It was missing and my concerns were addressed. I found the "stolen" item. When i contacted the company James was professional and courteous when accepting my apology.

I had a wonderful referral from "Maureen" at ABC windows. Not only did she return my call promptly (a couple of times- we kept missing each other) she was really helpful in putting me in touch with the person that could do the job! I had a unique situation that ABC doesn't handle. She text me with the information as well!! Great customer service!
I called 29 Glass services "Frank" . He was able/willing to come out the same day & he worked diligently to fix the broken glass in my garage door. He is very knowledgeable and professional and very reasonable! I highly

I bought ABC windows over 10 years ago, and despite how nice everyone was, I want to let you know a few shortcomings. First, none of the drainage holes work. Water sits in the dish holding the window. Second, some of the plastic doesn't wear very well. Nothing major, just kinda cheap looking after 5 or 10 years. Third, the screens have little plastic loops at the bottom. In order to remove them, you pull up on the loops.
I just had my house pressure-washed, and so had to remove the screens. Much to my dismay, about half of the loops broke off when I gently pulled up to remove the screens

Working with this company was like a five star family run restaurant experience. Maureen handles the reservations and works the floor. We never had to wait. Bob and Kevin came and went like clockwork; their estimates emailed within hours. Kevin, Luis and their crew arrived, installed, and left right on schedule. That's because every challenge was anticipated by a crew that has been dedicated to ABC windows for decades. We selected this company because they were top rated by the nonprofit Bay Area Checkbook, the most credible guide to services in the Bay Area. The Checkbook got it right

Rob & Maureen are nice, but incapable of replacing windows in San Francisco condos. They don't know how to navigate DBI permits, energy rules, and HOA appearance requirements. They're also terrible at communication, unless you take a day off from work to have real-time phone conversations with them.
If you live in a condo in SF, steer clear of ABC.

I wish I could be writing a review about the quality of their work, or the prices, or their service. Unfortunately, I never got this far.I tried for a couple weeks to set up an appointment. No one EVER answers the phone there, and like a lot of people, I have a job, and can't answer the phone whenever they call me, so we played phone tag for a LONG time.
I finally did get an appointment for someone to come by my house. Then they called to change it a few days later. There was a little more phone tag about this, but we finally got a new appointment on the schedule.
And then the ultimate disappointment

Disclosure: I *did not* use ABC for window replacements. This review is to reflect my experience with their customer service and to reinforce the high trust/professionalism already expressed by those who are customers.
I left a message asking for a call-back to set up a time to have ABC come out and give me a quote for window replacement. I had already had a couple vendors come out so had a pretty good idea of the range of what could/needed to be done. Got my call back within a reasonable amount of time and appointment set.

From beginning to end, having my home windows retrofitted by ABC was a great experience. It is a well run family business and they run their own manufacturing facility. Alex came out to give me a quote and was very knowledgeable about local building codes regarding window retrofits, helpful in explaining options, and thoroughly answered all my questions.
Maureen was a pleasure to talk to on the phone in the office. When I wanted to make some changes and had further questions, she had Alex contact me right away and he sent a revised plan to me by email--very convenient and easy.
