As you look around your San Diego home, do you see windows in odd shapes and sizes? Maybe you have an exceptionally large picture window in the front of your house, or windows in shapes other than squares or rectangles, like half rounds, circles, or hexagon. Have you put off getting a quote on replacement windows because you just assumed that the cost would be exceptionally high due to your non-standard windows?
I have good news for you: there’s no such thing as standard sizes when it comes to replacement windows. All replacement windows are made to order, and therefore it doesn’t matter what the dimensions of your windows are. Of course, larger windows are going to be more expensive than smaller windows, but only because they include more materials—not because their dimensions aren’t “standard.”
To get a quote on replacement windows in San Diego, you will need to have someone out to your home to take measurements of your existing windows. Your new windows will fit within the spaces that your current windows occupy so you don’t have to spend a bunch of money on opening up your walls and reframing (and then even more money repairing and repainting the surrounding walls after your new windows are installed).
It’s a good idea to work with a replacement window company for your new windows, rather than a general contractor or a big box store. Companies that specialize in replacement windows can guide you toward the brands and features from which you will get the most benefits.
Here’s more good news: working with a specialty replacement window company in San Diego won’t necessarily cost you more than working with a general contractor or the home services department at your local home improvement store. Replacement window companies often offer competitive pricing, in addition to better overall service.
Look for a replacement window company in San Diego that has their own team of installers (as opposed to using subcontractors for window installation), and that also offers an installation guarantee. Professional installation, completed by highly trained and experienced installers will provide you with the outcome you are looking for, resulting in better performance in your new windows.
When it comes to which brand of replacement windows you choose, look for brands that don’t require a lot of upgrades in order to perform well. A brand like Anlin Windows and Doors, which is only sold through independent replacement window dealers that provide professional installation services, manufacturers windows that come standard with many of the features that San Diego homeowners are looking for. In contrast, some of the larger brands that you may be familiar with can require expensive upgrades to bring their performance level up to the expectations of the more discerning San Diego homeowners.
