San Diego is famous for its gorgeous weather year-round. Many of our replacement window and door customers take advantage of the great weather by installing patio doors that open up their home and allow them to enjoy their outdoor area. But what if your home isn’t conducive to patio doors? The layout of certain homes, or the way in which a homeowner has chosen to place their furniture doesn’t always allow for a large portion of a wall to be used for sliding or French patio doors. You can still take advantage of the San Diego weather and allow fresh air into your home by installing operable replacement windows in your home.

Our BBB Rating and What it Means for San Diego Replacement Window and Door Customers
You hear a lot about Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings when searching for companies you are thinking about patronizing. But do you know what a BBB rating means and why it is important to know a company’s BBB rating before you hire them for a major project like window and door replacement? Basically, a BBB rating determines whether or not a business is conducting itself in a trustworthy manner.

If anything goes wrong, you want to make sure that the San Diego replacement …

Most people assume that the number just represents the fact that a company has registered their business with the state, and there is some reassurance of oversight by the proper authorities. While that is true, it represents so much more. Here are a few questions that can be answered about any replacement window and door company in San Diego by running their license number on the California Contractors State License Board’s (CSLB) website: Is Their License Number Valid? When …
Window Safety: What You Need to Know
April 3-9, 2016 is National Window Safety Week, sponsored by the Window Safety Task Force of the National Safety Council, so we thought it would be a good idea to let you know about some of the things you can do in your San Diego home to keep your family safe when it comes to your windows. There are two main concerns when talking about window safety: the ability to use your windows as an escape in the case of an emergency, and preventing accidental falls out of second-story windows. Making Sure Your Windows Can Serve as an Escape Route As you probably know, building codes require that every bedroom in your house has an egress window—a window large enough to serve as an escape route in case of a fire or another emergency. The California Building Code requires that windows have a clear …
