TruePane has been setting windows and hanging doors since 2008 under Dale Kessler’s founding rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Homeowners in San Bruno call us because we know what happens to a 1952 steel casement frame after sixty years of salt fog blowing through the San Bruno Gap.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form.

You know exactly what you are buying, what the warranty covers, and for how long. That is the difference between a glazier’s craft and a franchise playbook. Impact windows in San Bruno often mean FAA paperwork. We have done it before. We know which STC ratings satisfy the noise study on file and which ones stall a reimbursement. That local knowledge is not something a generic installer picks up from a training video.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in San Bruno
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact-rated windows in San Bruno do double duty. They protect against windborne debris and they cut aircraft noise down to a level your ears can live with. On a 1950s tract home in the Crestmoor neighborhood, our crew opened up the original steel casement windows and found undersized framing and failed waterproofing that had been letting fog form between the panes for years. Because the home was in an FAA Part 150 noise-eligible zone, we installed STC 40 laminated impact-rated glazing in full-frame replacements, rebuilt the jambs, and documented every step for the airport authority’s reimbursement paperwork. A typical impact window replacement in San Bruno runs $1,100 to $2,400 per opening depending on size and STC requirements.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors in San Bruno take a beating from wind-driven salt air that pours through the San Bruno Gap. Original aluminum frames corrode at the corners and the rollers bind within a decade. We replace them with impact-rated laminated units that carry both wind and debris ratings, and we flash and caulk them the way a coastal climate demands. A standard 6-foot impact sliding door in San Bruno runs $2,800 to $5,500 installed, more if the opening needs reframing to carry the heavier glass.

Impact Entry & French Doors
An impact-rated entry door is not just a door. It is the first line of defense on the windward side of a house that faces sustained Pacific gusts most days of the year. We install impact French doors and single entry units with reinforced jambs and multi-point locking hardware. Homes in Rollingwood and the flatlands east of El Camino Real frequently need jamb reinforcement because the original rough openings were framed with lumber that is undersized by today’s code. A single impact entry door in San Bruno runs $2,200 to $4,800 installed.

Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most San Bruno homes and the first to fail in a wind event. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced tracks and bracing that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards, which exceed California requirements. For homes under SFO flight paths, a braced impact garage door also reduces low-frequency noise transfer into the house. A single impact garage door in San Bruno runs $3,800 to $7,500 depending on size and insulation requirements.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in San Bruno Homes
- Corroded original aluminum or steel frames. San Bruno Gap wind drives salt fog into every seam. We regularly see original 1950s steel casements so corroded that an insert pocket replacement will not seat properly. The existing jamb is simply gone at the corners.
- Fogged glass from failed seals. Marine fog sits on San Bruno glass year-round. When the seal fails, moisture gets between the panes and the only lasting fix is a new insulated glass unit, not a repair. Full replacement with fresh glazing is standard here.
- Undersized framing from post-WWII tract construction. Many Crestmoor and Rollingwood homes were framed with lumber that cannot safely carry the weight of modern impact-rated insulated glass without reinforcement. We rebuild jambs and add structural support before the new unit goes in.
- FAA reimbursement stalls. If your home falls inside a Part 150 noise-eligible zone and the glazing spec does not match the noise study on file, your reimbursement stops. We confirm the minimum STC rating before we order anything. A job that looks like a standard window replacement can lose funding if the STC rating is below 35.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in San Bruno, CA
Impact windows in San Bruno run $1,100 to $2,400 per opening for standard double-hung or casement units. Impact sliding doors run $2,800 to $5,500. Impact entry doors run $2,200 to $4,800. Impact garage doors run $3,800 to $7,500. Whole-house window replacement on a typical 1,400-square-foot San Bruno tract home lands between $14,000 and $26,000 when full-frame work is required. What moves the price: the STC rating required for FAA reimbursement, whether the opening needs reframing, and whether your walls conceal outdated wiring that triggers a code upgrade once they are open. We give written line-item quotes and we do not change the price once work starts unless you approve it in writing. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, plus a free written repair estimate.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance in San Bruno
San Bruno sits directly under SFO’s primary approach and departure corridors, so many residential blocks fall within FAA Part 150 noise-eligible zones. Window contractors here must specify STC-rated laminated glazing and navigate federal reimbursement paperwork, a requirement that does not exist a few miles inland in Millbrae or South San Francisco. The San Bruno Gap funnels strong, sustained Pacific winds directly into residential neighborhoods, making San Bruno measurably windier than neighboring cities. Combined with heavy marine fog year-round, this accelerates corrosion on aluminum frames and degrades weatherstripping seals faster than inland Peninsula locations.
When we open up a wall in an older San Bruno home, code compliance is not optional. Most post-WWII tract homes here were built between the late 1940s and early 1960s and retain original electrical wiring that does not meet current code. Once a wall is open for full-frame replacement, the permit triggers an electrical upgrade on any branch circuit in that wall. We include code-triggered electrical allowances in our written contract before work begins. If a surprise shows up behind the drywall, it is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No change orders without your signature. That is the square deal.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in San Bruno
Yes, if your home falls inside a Part 150 noise-eligible zone, the glazing must meet the minimum STC rating specified in the noise study on file with the airport authority, typically STC 35 to 40. We confirm that rating before ordering any glass and document the installation for your reimbursement file. Call (888) 635-0804 to check whether your address qualifies.
San Bruno’s post-WWII tract homes were built with original steel or aluminum single-pane windows in frames that have spent sixty-plus years in San Bruno Gap salt fog. The jambs and sills are often corroded or deteriorated, which means an insert pocket replacement sits in a compromised opening. Full-frame replacement rebuilds the jamb, fixes the waterproofing, and gives the new impact unit a sound structure to seal against. Neighboring cities with newer housing stock can sometimes skip this step. San Bruno usually cannot.
Opening a wall for full-frame replacement triggers a building permit inspection. In most San Bruno homes built before the mid-1960s, the inspector will require an electrical upgrade on any branch circuit exposed in that wall. We write an electrical allowance into our contract before we start so the cost is known upfront, not discovered later. Any surprise found during the job is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (888) 635-0804 to get a line-by-line estimate that includes code allowances.
Yes. Low-E coatings and argon-filled insulated glass units work fine in San Bruno’s marine climate and are standard on most impact-rated lines we install. Keep in mind that low-E does not do the heavy lifting for sound reduction. The STC rating comes from the laminated glass layer, so you need both for a home under SFO’s flight path. We quote the full spec on paper for every opening.
We reframe the opening. On older San Bruno homes, this is common. The original rough openings were framed for lightweight single-pane steel casements, and a modern impact-rated unit with laminated glass is thicker and heavier. We rebuild the jamb, add structural support where the framing is undersized, and match the exterior trim so the new window looks original from the street. The reframing cost is included in your written quote before work begins.
