AfterWindow Company in Union City, CA
Hale Windows & Doors is the window company Union City homeowners call when wind off the bay starts rattling old aluminum frames and seals give out years before they should. Union City sits in a wind corridor between San Francisco Bay and the East Bay hills, and homes here, especially the 1950s and 1960s tract houses in Decoto, take a beating other Bay Area cities don’t. We replace and repair windows and front doors built for exactly these conditions, and every job starts with a written price before any work begins. Call (252) 675-6980 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Union City Homes Are Different
Union City’s housing stock splits into two rough groups, and each one fails in its own way. The Decoto district is full of single-story tract homes from the 1950s through 1970s, many still running original aluminum sliding windows. Those frames conduct heat straight out in winter, rattle in the strong afternoon winds off the bay, and their thermal seals, if they ever had them, are long gone. In Ardenwood, you’ll find the same era of construction with wood-framed windows that swell, crack, and let wind-driven rain into the wall cavity.
Newer developments from the 1990s and 2000s near the BART station have vinyl and composite windows, but those have been through two decades of UV exposure and temperature swings by now. Union City gets mild, damp winters and warm, dry summers, and that cycle stresses sealant and glazing more than the steady fog of, say, Daly City. Wind-load ratings matter here. A window that performs fine in a sheltered cul-de-sac will whistle or bow in a Decoto backyard when the afternoon gusts pick up off the bay. We quote every job with the specific product ratings the location needs, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Our Main Union City Services
Three jobs make up nearly all of what Union City homeowners call us for. Each has its own page with pricing, process, and local details.
Window Replacement in Union City
Most Decoto and Ardenwood homes still have their original single-pane aluminum or wood windows, and by now the frames are pitted, the tracks are stiff, and the glass does nothing for heat or noise. We replace them with dual-pane units built for wind loads and thermal sealing, matched to your home’s era and style. Window Replacement in Union City covers the full process and exact pricing.
Window Repair in Union City
A fogged dual-pane unit, a broken balance spring, a crank mechanism that skips, a frame that leaks around the edge. These are the repairs Union City’s climate creates, and we fix them with the correct replacement part rather than a generic workaround. Window Repair in Union City walks through the common failures we see here and what they cost to fix.
Front Door Replacement in Union City
A front door that warps in Union City’s damp-winter, dry-summer cycle can leave a visible gap and a security concern. We install Therma-Tru and other professional-grade doors with proper weather sealing and threshold support for homes that face wind-driven rain. Front Door Replacement in Union City has what to expect.

Brands We Service in Union City
We install and service windows and doors from eight professional lines, including PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For Union City specifically, we often recommend CWS and CGI for their high wind-load ratings, and ES Windows for coastal-grade aluminum when a mid-century Decoto home needs a period-correct replacement. See our brands for the full line and why we match product to job rather than pushing one name.

What pushes a Union City quote higher is wind-load engineering, custom sizing for older Decoto openings, and rotted framing that needs repair before new windows go in. Hale gives you a written price before any tool is picked up, and that number does not change unless you change the scope.

FAQs About Window Company in Union City
Most Union City estimates are scheduled within two to three business days. Repairs that can be quoted over the phone get a written price the same day, and we carry the common parts in the truck so many jobs are done on the first visit. Call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll give you a specific window of time.
We know the approval ropes for Union City’s condo associations and HOAs, especially in newer developments near the BART station, and we’re familiar with Union City’s planning department requirements. If your project needs a permit, we pull it and close it out once it passes inspection. Estimate is free, and that includes checking what your association requires.
Old Decoto and Ardenwood frames rarely match today’s stock sizes. We measure every opening and order to spec rather than forcing a standard unit in and filling the gap with trim. That gets you tight seals and correct wind-load performance. Call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll walk you through the options and the written price.
