Is Obscured Glass in Replacement Windows an Option You Should Consider for Your San Diego Home?
There are so many options to choose from when purchasing replacement windows for your San Diego home. You can get an upgraded sound suppression package, add decorative grids to your glass, or get window frames in a color other than white.

Replacement Windows That Oceanside Homeowners Love
As summer gets closer, it’s time to start gearing up for warmer temperatures. For many homeowners in Oceanside, that can mean higher utility bills as they run their air conditioners more often to keep their houses cool. If your Oceanside home has older, single-pane windows, those windows are probably letting in a lot more heat than you know. And if your windows also have aluminum frames, they are doing very little to prevent your house from heating up during hot days. If replacement windows are on your home improvement list, Spring is a great time to get the process started.
