California Window & Door, Inc.

One evening as we watched television in the living room after dinner, there was a loud bang that came from the kitchen that sounded very ominous. The external pane of the double-paned large 115" x 55" picture window overlooking the golf course had cracked into a web of shattered glass. It somehow remained intact and didn't shatter the interior pane, although the entire unit was left compromised. We first suspected an errand golf ball, a stone strewn from a landscaper's trimmer, or perhaps a bird flying into the window, but none of those possibilities seem feasible in the dark of the evening. It may have been just an aging installation succumbing to the wind.

After contacting several local (and a national) window companies, we were left with diversely inconsitent quotes and a range of incompetent proposals from most that would have required stucco work and interior repair around the frame. To say that we had zero confidence in what we were being sold is an understatement. It's as if the local contractors were vying for an ineptitude award.

Fortunately, there is one local company that stands well above the competition. California Window and Door is family owned, licensed and bonded, and operating with an inviting showroom to demonstrate options. Anthony and his salesperson, Mike, clearly explained their recommendations, choice of glass manufacturers with different warranties, had the most reasonable pricing, and the most efficient installation plans (not requiring remodeling) done by in-house well-trained, longtime employees.

After the custom-sized window was ready, Anthony arrived at our home with installers Jaime and John and completed the replacement and the barely necessary cleanup within two hours. They are the epitome of professional.

California Window and Door is the only window and door to consider in the Coachella Valley. Period.

We had a very good experience with California Window and Door. Our project included many different windows of various sizes and a large slider. We wanted to shorten one of the windows, which required framing and stucco work. California Window and Door had a crew that handled everything for us, while the other window companies would have required us to hire contractors to do the framing and stucco work. California Window and Door also had folks that could do the city permitting for a reasonable fee, which we used. They also provided us information on federal energy rebates.

California Window and Door provided us with various options at various costs. We chose to pay a little more for the Milgard windows, which come with a lifetime breakage warranty, perfect for a home on a golf course.

The work was completed quickly and the crew cleaned up nicely afterwards. We love our new windows. Our home stays much cooler on warmer days and our heat no longer comes on in the mornings.

Crew was knowledgeable and courteous. They worked efficiently and knowing it was over 110 outside had the openings closed up in a timely manor. I had two patio doors demoed and installed before 3 o’clock. The stucco was finished the next day with great expertise. I was extremely happy with the work and would highly recommend them.
