It’s important for San Diego home owners to select a reputable window company to install replacement/ retrofit windows and doors. Ensure you’re working with an experienced, trustworthy company who only installs top quality windows at reasonable prices. If you’re shopping strictly based on price you won’t be satisfied with the quality of the window and door products that are installed in your home. And even with quality products, it’s critical to ensure the window company has a well-trained installation crew. It’s easy to purchase replacement windows and doors, but installing them properly is equally important. We recently finished a project in Tierrasanta where the homeowners had some of their windows replaced with Anlin windows installed by another window company. Anlin Windows are a …

Oceanside Replacement Windows and Doors Provide Substantial Noise Reduction
BM Windows recently completed a two story residential project in Oceanside. Like most homeowners, the customers were interested in the energy efficiency of the replacement windows and doors we were installing. But they were equally concerned about the possibility of noise reduction as they are located in a noisy area; on one side they have the large 5 freeway, on the other side are busy railroad tracks. Many people assume that by replacing windows with newer single pane products there will automatically be a reduction in noise. That isn’t always the case. It depends on how thick the original windows are and how many panes they have. When replacing single pane windows with modern, vinyl-framed dual pane windows there will likely be a noise reduction of about 20-30%. That’s a substantial …
East Bluff Homes in Del Mar Get New Windows and Doors Through Partnership with HOA
We recently completed a project for East Bluff subdivision in Del Mar. Working closely with the Home Owner’s Association (HOA) we installed new windows and doors for eight residences, 70 windows and 25 patio doors in total. As we discuss in the second section of our Replacement Home Windows Buying Guide, it’s important to investigate any HOA concerns when considering new windows or doors. It’s common for San Diego area HOA’s to require pre-approval regarding style, materials and installation practices. In this case, we worked directly with the HOA to simplify the process for homeowners and ensure a well-planned installation schedule. As one of the more affluent coastal communities in San Diego County, Del Mar is well-known for having strict requirements regarding the look of homes and …
Condensation and Moisture on Replacement Windows and Doors in San Diego
Moisture or Condensation Observed on the Exterior of the Building Condensation on the exterior surface of a replacement window or door is NOT an indicator of a defective product or an issue with the installation. Exterior condensation is typically caused by ambient humidity, bushes near the windows, sprinklers or other moisture sources. In most cases the best remedy is to open the windows so that the temperature on the inside and outside surfaces can even out. Ultimately, the cause of condensation is a difference in temperature between the inside and outside surfaces. Please be aware that condensation on the window’s surfaces will not cause damage. …
