San Diego Sash Company

San Diego Sash Company solved my problem in 30 minutes. We have lived in our University Heights 1920’s home for 33 years. The double hung casement windows were in terrible condition, but I just couldn’t bring my self to replace them. So I decided to try and restore them. Out of 10 windows, 4 have small multiple panes. About half way through the project, I ran into a problem. One window, had much more damage then the others. Some of the muntins were completely hollow due to termites and one piece was completely missing. These could not be repaired and the only solution was to replace them. I searched for weeks, for either replacement muntins or someone that could mill new ones. Yesterday, I took the window to San Diego Sash and met Shawn. He is amazing!!! While I waited, he milled new muntins to match the existing ones!!! I am not an expert but have extensive experience in maintaining and repairing our old home and rental property next door and would highly recommend San Diego Sash Company! You will not be disappointed.

I’ve used Shawn on a number of window projects in our 1930’s home. He built a pair of casement windows that replaced a horrible louvered glass/​aluminum window, a pair of custom fixed /​double hung units, and has also provided us with several replacement sashes to replace original double-​hung windows that were beyond repair. Shawn’s shop is a blend of old and new, using traditional machinery where that machinery still makes the best quality product. More important than the equipment, Shawn is a true craftsman. His skill and attention to detail are apparent in every wood window he produces. If you’re looking for windows that stay true to the history of your older home, I highly recommend Shawn!

I purchase custom windows and doors from Shawn for restoration work on vintage homes. The quality is outstanding. Shawn has a first rate shop with many original sash making machines. It’s great to have a local source for these important architectural elements for restoration work. I highly recommend this business.

Highly recommend Shawn to restore your old bungalow’s wood windows and/​or build you new wood windows — haven’t used him yet (something about buying Powers Plumbing in Mission Hills, there went the kitchen restoration money) — Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) says that they only use Shawn for all their restoration work — Shawn has given us an estimate and we will be using him soon, our neighbors had him build a new wood window to replace a bad addition on their 1920 bungalow in Mission Hills — looks great.
Shawn is THE man to use for all wood window work — period.
