Among San Diego Window Companies, It Can Be Hard to Compare Apples to Apples
Anyone who is experienced at doing major home improvement projects will tell you to get more than one quote for your project before hiring a contractor to complete the work. This is wise advice. Prices can vary wildly—even for the exact products and services.

All of them claim that their products are energy efficient, and all come with what looks like a pretty good warranty. You should just go with the lowest price, right? Not necessarily. Here are some things you should look at when …

Recent Acquisitions of Milgard and Anlin Milgard windows have never been known in the industry as high-quality products, but in late 2019, Milgard was bought out by MI Windows and Doors.

Looking for Anlin Window Systems? They’re Now Called Anlin Windows & Doors
At BM Windows, one of the brands of replacement windows we sell is Anlin. Up until fairly recently, the official name of Anlin was “Anlin Window Systems,” a name the company went by for more than 30 years.
