Replacement Windows for Your San Diego Home: A Great Way to Spend Your Tax Refund
It’s tax season, and if you’re lucky enough to be getting back a healthy refund, you may have started thinking about what you’re going to do with the money when it comes. While there are certainly many fun things you can do with your tax refund—take a vacation, go on a shopping spree, or put a down payment on a new car—there are also things you can do with that money that will give you long-term benefits. Yes, we’re talking about investing the money. But we’re not talking about investing in the way you probably typically think about investing. We’re not suggesting that you put the money in the stock market or purchase a piece of art that you hope will appreciate over time. We want you to consider investing in your home.

Understanding Patio Doors for San Diego Homes
In a previous blog post, we went into great detail about replacement windows for San Diego homeowners who are just getting started in the process of researching and purchasing new windows. So, we thought we would do the same for homeowners looking into new patio doors. Much of the information found in the previous post applies to shopping for replacement patio doors, such as looking for a company that provides you with expert installation and that can educate you on the various brands and lines on the market.

Understanding Replacement Windows for San Diego Homes
Sometimes, it’s good to go back to the basics. Here at BM Windows, we deal with replacement windows all day, every day. We forget sometimes that most people in San Diego have never purchased replacement windows before. They’ve probably never even thought about them before. They may have just assumed that when it’s time to buy new windows, they would just find a local contractor and pay him or her to purchase and install them on their behalf. Once they start looking into replacement windows, however, they start to understand that it’s a bit more involved than that. They realize that it matters what brand and line of windows they purchase, and it also matters (quite a bit, in fact) who installs those windows. If you’re just getting started in your search for replacement windows in San …
Are Vinyl Replacement Windows Good in the San Diego Climate?
We can probably all agree that San Diego has some of the best weather in the world! With its abundance of sunny days and mild temperatures year-round, the weather here is hard to beat. But all that sun, as well as the wind and salty air near the coast, can wreak havoc on some of the building materials used in homes.

They look great and perform well for many, many years in all types of San Diego homes! However, cheap vinyl windows tend to not hold up as well. If you’ve seen …
