Glass West and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento

Summary

Glass West, a Sacramento window and glass company, has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento since 2015. Glass West supplies windows at cost, and sometimes at no cost at all, and donates the installation on Habitat for Humanity homes in Sacramento and Yolo County. The partnership is still active in 2026, with recent retrofit window installs in Sacramento and West Sacramento.

How the Partnership Works

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento is a locally supported nonprofit that builds homes for low-income families and provides repair opportunities to seniors and veterans. Every dollar it saves on materials and labor can go toward helping another family.

That is where Glass West comes in. Since 2015, Glass West has provided quality windows to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento at cost, or sometimes donated outright, and the installation is donated. This covers Habitat's local projects in Sacramento and Yolo County.

In practice, a Habitat job with Glass West looks a lot like any other job we do:

• Measuring. Our team visits the home to measure the openings for new windows or patio doors.
• Supplying windows. We supply the windows at cost or donate them. Recent Habitat homes have received Milgard retrofit windows, including the Milgard Trinsic series.
• Installing. Our crew installs the windows at no labor cost to Habitat. Retrofit windows fit into the existing openings, so there is no stucco cutting, less mess, and a faster install.
• Repairs and follow-up. We also handle smaller Habitat requests, such as rescreening, reglazing, replacing insulated glass units, and repairing window locks and latches.

Habitat gets the same service, responsiveness, and quality glass work as any other Glass West customer. In Habitat's own words, they receive "the same customer service, responsiveness, and efficient quality glass work that they would a large account."

In Habitat's Words

"At Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento, as a locally and non-governmentally supported nonprofit dedicated to building homes for low-income families and providing repair opportunities to seniors and veterans, it is only through generous partnerships and support from the local community that we are able to change lives. Since 2015, Glass West Inc. has been providing us with quality windows at cost (or sometimes at no cost at all) with completely donated installation for all of our local projects in Sacramento and Yolo County, saving us valuable funds which we can then use to help more seniors, families, and veterans in need of a safe, decent, affordable place to live.

Furthermore, though we are a small nonprofit partner, David and his team provide us with the same customer service, responsiveness, and efficient quality glass work that they would a large account. They are a business that clearly not only takes great pride in what they do and in doing it well, but great pride in giving back to the community where they live and work. Glass West has proven to be a true partner in helping us build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter and we are grateful to have Glass West Inc. as a trade partner and a part of our Habitat family."
