South City Shower Door & Window Works

This year I decided to remodel my Mother’s bathroom and make it fully accessible which required its complete demolition and the installation of a fully-​accessible shower without an entry curb. Steve Warner, of Pacific Heights Tile & Marble, recommended the use of South City, and I couldn’t be happier with their finished product. I had looked everywhere for a «reverse» door system which would accommodate a controller on the opposite wall which this small bathroom necessitated. No luck until South City. James (the owner of South City) sent out Trent, his foreman, who spent at least an hour checking and then re-​checking the measurements in a non-​plumb space. The door was then custom-​fabricated and delivered for installation on the date promised. James and Trent took at least three hours to install the door to ensure that it would work and look as promised. The door looks sensational and perfectly finishes off a very small bathroom. Please see Photograph #7.
If quality is what someone seeks, then I would recommend South City unequivocally.

James and his crew are amazing! We just recently renovated our house and needed new shower glass for our bathrooms. James was always responsive and extremely efficient. They were incredibly professional and gave us updates throughout the installation. They also thoughtfully kept our house and bathrooms clean throughout the process. We dealt with a lot of contractors throughout our renovation and James was by far the BEST. We wish all of our contractors were as professional and efficient as him. The caliber of his work is superb! We are thoroughly happy with the results and have received compliments on it even from the city inspectors during the final walk through of our renovation.
I would recommend this company without any reservations! The efficient, professional, and no nonsense service was perfect and not to mention the stellar quality of their work. This was the best experience in our entire renovation.

Wow. Why can’t all companies operate like this one? We did a bathroom remodel and James helped us with the shower door. It’s by far my favorite item in the bathroom. Just gorgeous. You might be thinking, it’s just a shower door. Not to James who takes his business very seriously. In our case, it was more of an art. James was very collaborative, responsive, patient and professional and helped design the perfect solution — one huge door that swings on pivots. It’s stunning to look at. A total success. Thank you James!

The best! Great customer service from the scheduling to the estimate to the installation and everywhere in between. They installed a new frameless shower enclosure (looks great!) and fixed two older and problematic shower doors that I asked them to look at. Now I know why they get such amazing reviews and wonder why other businesses can’t even come close!

this small business is fantastic! excellent service, very personalized. the glass shower screen was manufactured and installed quickly. the price was better than anywhere else. no hard sell or added things you might not want. james listens closely and advises well. love the clear glass screen that pivots out from the tub for easy entry. the coating to prevent water spots works well. couoldn’t be happier. call james, he rocks

This company is terrific. They arrive on time, really smart guys.
James helped me design a large mirror for my living room & even
hung the old one for me. They are fair priced, a great find!

Professional and super knowledgeable. I won’t use anyone else but these guys from now on.

Had to replace a cracked double paned window, called several places only to be told the job was too small; they will only replace the whole window or preferably a set of windows. Was getting stressed, even Home Depot and Lowe’s couldn’t help. So relieved to call So City Shower Door & Window Works and spoke with Pat who assured me that they can do the work. Excellent service from start to finish; even the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

This is the second time we’ve used James & his crew. They are excellent! Call them first, support local business. He worked with us on price, installed a new sliding glass door, locked up my side gate so my dogs won’t get out, & cleaned up everything before they left. Nice guys, just a great experience all around. We’ll be calling them again when we do our second bathroom glass doors.

It’s a sad rarity to find a home-​improvement company that shows up consistently and on time, respects your home, meets projected budget and timelines, and does exemplary work. These guys are the real deal: on time, on budget, with beautiful installation of two shower doors (one with a custom panel). Plus, they carefully explained the care and operation of the new hardware, and cleaned up at the end of the job, leaving both bathrooms as clean as when they arrived. I couldn’t say a single negative thing about my interaction with this company — highly recommended!

Dude I never write reviews. Actually this might be my first in a while. Called these guys for a custom shower glass panel. Their price was comparable to another company but I chose them because of the great reviews with customer service. Good service goes a long way. Bottom line they were on time with appointments, friendly on the phone, and respectful of my place when they came to do the install. One review said you can tell James cared about his work. I agree!!! I highly recommend this company.

I called and the Mom answered, very courteous, gave me a date and on the date agreed upon, James Mason showed up. Very polite, put on blue booties so that his shoes were covered as he walked on my oriental rugs and hard wood floors.
Polite, efficient, gave me dates and times to expect on my orders.
Will rate on how the installs go. But, so far, am impressed.

I chose South City based on the reviews I found here on Unilocal.I owe a big thanks to all of you who recommended James and his team. They did great work and were reasonably priced. We arranged for the installation of custom, frameless, shower stall glass and door. Everything came out beautifully. James was very patient with our endless questions, and delivered and installed on schedule. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while — these guys are awesome — very prompt, friendly and professional. We wanted a glass shower door installed for our downstairs shower. James always arrived on time and was exceptionally helpful in his recommendations and suggestions. On the day of the installation, they finished early and walked me through the process of caring for the shower doors/​glass. I wish all vendors were this pleasant to engage and work with!

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Reliable. Excellent quality. Reasonably priced. What else can one ask of a shower door company? They are terrific. They came when they said they would, they were priced well within reason for what we’re getting (two new shower enclosures), they were very helpful in terms of steering us towards the best options, and mindful of our budget without being pushy (like so many other show-​room sales people have been). I would highly recommend them.

South City Shower is the best. James came in on time for the the initial estimate and then send me a quote the next day. He came back on time and installed the glass panel in the shower in 30 minutes. The glass panel is sleek and contemporary. The hinges are very small and all you see is a large beautiful panel of glass. The work was neat and clean. James and his team is the best. The glass is top quality and his work is great. If you are thinking of glass shower stall or panel, South City Shower should be your first call.

I had two odd requests for James: Fix an existing frameless shower door that didn’t close right, and install an interior window in a laundry closet, replacing a static transom type window to allow for dryer combustion. James was able to find a creative way to fix my shower door issue (mismeasurement on the part of the previous contractor installed by the previous owners) and allow me to swing the door all the way in and out. James also quickly replaced the window.
This is a pretty boring review, but it feels great to have something very specific needed to be done and having someone confidently find a creative way to make it happen. James and his crew are experts at their craft.

Just had my shower door installed by «south city glass works». James was great to work with, reasonably priced and I LOVE the results.
In my other bathroom the shower door strip was old, I asked James if he could to replace it. He did and door looks so much newer. James didn’t charge me and it was such a nice touch! Thank you so much!

These guys are greatest! The pater familias of window repair! My gf broke the bathroom window and made it look like a spider web mosaic! I had a list of window repair places she gave me and called /​emailed each one. James at South City Window Works wound up wining the job because they were: a) the most responsive, b) the most professional, c) the most reasonable (I was working on a tight budget), and d) the most prompt.
They scheduled the appt., came to my house, fixed it quick and met the lowest bid price. I would trust these guys to fix my window every time. Period.

Ok let me start off by saying I have had work done by another contractor in San Carlos they were ok but expensive and slow!
Well when we had the inlaw unit in one of our houses redone we decided we wanted frame less glass as well. Another company had quoted me 1,400 and were unwilling to negotiate with me and even gave me an attitude for asking.
When I called James I could tell he was an owner operator. Being in the service industry myself I understand how challenging it can be to wear so many hats but he wears them well. Thirty minutes after I called him he was at the property measuring. He immediately noticed that our shower was not completely level in a certain area where the glass would be mounted. He came on a saturday I believe and by friday the glass was installed and ready to go.
No water leaks, the shower looks beautiful. THanks James, great job. I will forever call him if I need another shower and I will always recommend him because he is
1. professional 2. not a prick. 3. hes fast!
