With all the brands and lines of replacement windows out there, it’s important to do your research prior to purchasing. The last thing you want to do is spend thousands of dollars on all new windows and doors for your home, only to have them start to deteriorate after a few short years (which can be the case with some of the cheap brands of replacement windows). No manufacturer is perfect—mistakes happen. So, you also want to make sure you go with a company that stands behind the products they manufacture. Pretty much all replacement window companies offer some sort of warranty on their products, but not all of them actually honor those warranties. They will say just about anything to get out of repairing or replacing a window that is defective and leave you to pay to have it …

If Your San Diego Home Was Built before 1990, We Should Talk about Replacement Windows
By now, a lot of the older homes in San Diego have had their windows replaced, but what about the not-so-old, but not-really-new-anymore-either homes? We’re talking about homes built prior to 1990. Some of those would likely benefit greatly from window replacement as well! Window technology has come a long way in the last 30 years or so. Yes, dual pane windows were around back then, but they weren’t nearly as energy efficient as they are today. If you suspect that your windows are letting in outside heat, or that the air conditioning you are paying top dollar for is escaping out of your windows, it could be time to consider replacement windows.

To become an authorized dealer of Anlin and Monte Verde products, we had to go through the manufacturers’ approval processes and also had to complete factory training on how to properly install them. All of this is worth the effort when we hear …
