What Brands of Windows and Doors Do San Diego Experts Recommend?

Have you thought about replacing the windows and doors in your San Diego home? Maybe you went to your local home improvement warehouse to look at options and left feeling very overwhelmed; or perhaps you’ve spent some time searching online only to realize that there are dozens of options—and they all look pretty much the same.

The first thing you need to realize is that the windows and doors on the shelves at your local home improvement warehouse are what are known as “new construction windows and doors.” They are designed to be installed in homes or additions that are still under construction—when the wall studs are still exposed. If you are looking for windows for your already-built home, you need what are called “replacement windows and doors.” Replacement windows and doors are made to fit into the existing spaces of your current windows and doors. They can be installed without disturbing the walls surrounding them. However, because they must fix perfectly into existing spaces, they need to be custom made.

Now, you can go to the special orders counter at a home improvement store, but a better option is to go with a company that specializes in windows and doors in San Diego. A company like this will be able to offer you expert guidance as you select the best windows and doors for your San Diego home. They are also likely to have higher quality window and door brands than the ones you will find in home improvement stores.

Michal Bohm, a window and door expert and owner of BM Windows in San Diego, had this to say: “For San Diego homeowners looking for high-quality brands of replacement windows at affordable prices, working with a dedicated window and door company is definitely the way to go. At my company, we sell replacement window and door brands like Anlin and Monte Verde. We’ve been selling these brands for many years and our customers love them! Not only are they energy-efficient, they come with all of the features and options our customers are looking for. These manufacturers also back up their products with a great warranty.”

If you’ve never heard of Anlin or Monte Verde windows and doors, you’re not alone. These windows and doors are from smaller manufacturers that don’t advertise as heavily as some of the large brands like Milgard or Simonton. Their windows and patio doors are also not sold in retail stores, so you won’t see them on the shelves of your local Home Depot or Lowes. Instead, they are only available through authorized distributors that specialize in replacement windows.

Brands like these are great options for San Diego homeowners looking for high-quality windows and doors at affordable prices. They also may qualify for federal tax credits up to $1,100.
