Window Graphics San Francisco
We’re one of the few San Francisco sign shops that still hand-paint window graphics—a skill we combine with vinyl decals, perforated film, and cut vinyl lettering to create storefront windows that vinyl-only shops simply can’t match. While most competitors are limited to printed solutions, we can paint directly on glass or blend painted elements with vinyl for truly unique window displays.
Vinyl Window Decals
Vinyl window decals are a durable option for storefront branding, logos, hours, and promotional messaging. They provide a clean, consistent look and can be updated or removed as your needs change.
Typical uses:
- Logos and storefront branding
- Business hours and contact information
- Promotional and informational graphics
- Single-window or multi-panel coverage
Window Lettering
Window lettering is a clean, straightforward way to display your business name, hours, services, and key details directly on glass. It’s commonly used on storefront windows and doors to clearly convey essential information while maintaining a professional appearance.
Depending on the look you want, lettering can be hand-painted for a traditional, custom feel or created using cut vinyl lettering for a precise, uniform appearance. Both options are designed to remain readable up close and visually balanced within the window layout.
Common window lettering uses:
- Business names and storefront identifiers
- Hours, phone numbers, and website information
- Service lists and short descriptive callouts
- Door lettering and directional information
Hand-Painted Windows
Hand-painted windows are one of our most requested services—especially for seasonal promotions and storefront displays that need to feel custom instead of printed. We paint holiday windows like Halloween and Christmas, and we also handle rotating four-season updates for clients who refresh their storefront multiple times per year.
Common requests:
- Halloween and Christmas hand-painted window displays
- Four seasonal updates per year (Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter)
- Promotional storefront window painting for sales and events
- Painted lettering and artwork designed to read from the sidewalk
Perforated Window Film
Perforated window film lets you display large graphics on street-facing glass while maintaining visibility from inside. It’s commonly used for full storefront coverage and high-traffic locations.
Good fit for:
- Street-facing storefront windows
- Large graphics with interior visibility
- Panel-to-panel alignment on multi-window fronts
- Clean edges and long-term adhesion
Frosted & Privacy Window Film
Frosted film is used for privacy and a clean, professional look—common for offices, studios, and clinics. We can cut logos, stripes, and patterns into the film so it still feels branded.
Common installs:
- Office glass and conference rooms
- Entry doors with hours and name lettering
- Logo cut-outs inside frosted film
- Privacy without blocking light
What You Can Expect
What to Expect on Every Window Graphics Project
Designed to Read From the Street
We design window graphics to be read at real viewing distances. Colors, contrast, and letter sizing are chosen so the message stands out from at least 10 feet away and doesn’t get lost in reflections, window glare, or nearby storefronts.
Just as important, our designs are created with proper sign installation in mind, ensuring graphics are aligned correctly, applied cleanly, and positioned for maximum visibility once they’re on the glass.
Proper Surface Prep & Alignment
Before installing vinyl or repainting a window, we fully prep the glass so materials adhere correctly.
This includes removing residue, degreasing the surface, and aligning graphics so they install straight, without bubbles, lifting edges, or uneven spacing.
Seasonal Window Graphics Updates
Each seasonal window starts by removing the previous paint and restoring the glass before repainting. With over 40 years of experience doing holiday and seasonal windows, we create displays that actually look and feel like the season—not recycled layouts.
