Stephen G. is one of our many San Diego customers that found us on Yelp and gave us a call because of our excellent reputation with past customers. Stephen left us not one, but two reviews on Yelp—one after his initial consultation, and a follow-up review after his replacement windows were installed. He even took the time to take before and after photos and post them on Yelp. In Stephen’s first review, he had nothing but great things to say about JT, the BM Windows team member that went to his San Diego home for his free, in-home consultation. He said JT was great and that he didn’t try to upsell him on products he didn’t need or want. Stephen got several estimates on replacement windows for his San Diego home, and chose BM Windows because we offer Anlin window products, and also because …
