Do you have an older sliding patio door in your San Diego home that doesn’t slide as smoothly as it once did? If you do, you’re not the only one. Many of the sliding patio doors with aluminum frames that were originally installed in many San Diego homes have seen better days. We’ve been to the homes of more than one San Diego family in which the sliding patio door is completely unusable—not able to be opened or closed at all anymore. Not only is this inconvenient, but it can also present a safety issue, since it eliminates an emergency exit point in your home. If it’s time to replace your old patio door, don’t just choose any patio door. Choose one that is built to last. One that will give you a lifetime of easy use and that will allow you to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that San …

Anlin Replacement Windows: Why We Recommend them to Our San Diego Customers
At BM Windows, one of the replacement window brands we often quote to potential customers is Anlin. We are true believers in their products and have a great amount of respect for the company and how they do business. We often find ourselves needing to educate potential customers about Anlin replacement window products, since the company isn’t necessarily a “household name” like Milgard or Simonton. But just because a company has a more recognizable name or brand doesn’t mean its better. It may mean the company has been around longer, or it could be because the company’s products are sold in the big box stores. Anlin’s products are only available through authorized replacement window dealers—and only on the west coast—making them a brand you don’t see everywhere. However, Anlin …

Is Spending Your Tax Refund on Replacement Windows a Good Idea?
It’s that time of year when everyone has either filed their 2017 tax returns or will be doing so shortly. According to a recent survey by Credit Karma, 62% of Americans plan to get a refund when they file their taxes this year. Last year, taxpayers received an average of $2,728 back from the government in the form of state and federal refunds. If you are one of them, congratulations! It’s always nice to get a chunk of extra cash (even though it is really just your own money that you overpaid to the government all of last year). So what will you do with your tax refund if you’re getting one? You could use it to pay down debt, or put it in savings, but if it’s burning a hole in your pocket and your really want to spend it, at least spend it wisely. A home improvement project with a …
San Diego Customer Writes Glowing Review of Her Experience with BM Windows Staff
Earlier this year, we worked with homeowner Starlene D. in San Diego. After her replacement window installation was completed, she was kind enough to leave us a Yelp review to tell others of the great experience she had with our company. She starts her review by recounting her meeting with another San Diego replacement window company. She says the company’s representative “…was mad that we weren’t willing to make a decision on the spot, and was secretive about what our final price would be including discounts. We were told on the phone that several discounts were offered to seniors… but that didn’t seem to be the case.” At BM Windows, we don’t make a habit of speaking poorly of our competition. We would like to believe that most of the replacement window companies in San Diego are …
