Our Window Services in Anaheim, CA

Energy-Efficient & Low-E Windows
Energy-efficient windows in Anaheim are won or lost on solar heat gain, not on insulation. The number that decides your August electric bill is the SHGC on the NFRC label, and most of the quotes homeowners show us are chasing the wrong one.

Title 24 Compliant Windows
Title 24 compliant windows are judged by the inspector on one thing: what the NFRC label says. California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards set a maximum U-factor and a maximum solar heat gain coefficient for replacement fenestration, and if the sticker on the glass does not meet them, the job does not pass.

Vinyl Windows
Vinyl windows are the honest value pick for most Orange County homes, and anyone telling you otherwise is usually selling something with a bigger margin. They never need painting, they will not corrode in the salt air that drifts inland on a west wind, and a well-built frame will hold its seal for decades at roughly half the price of fiberglass.

Fiberglass & Composite Windows
Fiberglass windows cost roughly double what vinyl does, so the only useful question is when that premium is actually buying you something. Three situations justify it in Anaheim: large openings, dark exterior colors, and narrow sightlines you cannot get any other way.

Wood & Clad-Wood Windows
Wood and clad-wood windows are what a period house needs, and a vinyl slider in a 1920s Craftsman opening will look wrong from the sidewalk for as long as you own the place. Clad-wood solves the maintenance problem that scares people off timber: a solid wood interior for the room, wrapped in an extruded aluminum or fiberglass exterior that never gets painted.

Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows come in two entirely different products, and confusing them costs Anaheim homeowners real money every summer. The original single-pane aluminum sliders in most pre-1980 tract houses here are the reason the back bedroom is unlivable by mid-afternoon; modern thermally broken aluminum is a legitimate high-performance frame that belongs on specific houses.

Double-Hung & Single-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are the ones that get painted shut, and in the older neighborhoods of this city that is one of the most common calls we take. A double-hung has two operating sashes in one frame, an upper and a lower, and both of them are supposed to move; a single-hung has a fixed upper sash and only the bottom one slides.

Casement & Awning Windows
Casement windows seal tighter than anything else you can buy, because the crank pulls the sash into the weatherstrip instead of sliding past it. Awning units use the same hardware hinged at the top, which is why you can leave a kitchen or bathroom window cracked through a February rain and nothing comes in.

Sliding & Gliding Windows
Sliding windows are the default in Southern California tract housing, which means most of the ones in this city are original, aluminum, and running on rollers that gave up somewhere around the Clinton administration. A horizontal slider moves one sash past another in a track, and everything good and bad about the style follows from that.

Bay & Bow Windows
A bay or bow window is not really a window job, it is a small carpentry project with glass in it. There is a projection to support, a roof to flash, an interior seat board to finish and a header to check.

Picture & Architectural Windows
A picture window is the cheapest square footage of glass you can buy and the tightest-sealing unit in the catalog, for the same reason: nothing about it moves. No sash, no balance, no roller, no lock, no gap for air to find.

Egress Windows
Egress windows are what let a room legally be a bedroom, and the number that decides it is net clear opening, not the size printed on your invoice. That single misunderstanding is the most common reason a garage conversion or an ADU gets red-tagged at inspection, usually after the drywall is already up.

Impact-Rated & Security Windows
Impact-rated windows in Anaheim are not about hurricanes, and any contractor selling them to you that way is padding the invoice. What laminated impact glass actually buys you here is forced-entry resistance, Santa Ana wind loading on exposed lots, freeway noise reduction and UV control, and on the right openings that is genuinely worth the money.

Patio & Sliding Glass Doors
A patio slider you have to shoulder open is the most annoying thing in the house, and it is usually a two-hundred-dollar roller problem sitting inside somebody else's three-thousand-dollar quote. Before anyone talks to you about a new door, the rollers, the track and the alignment should be checked, because on a sound frame that is the entire repair.

French Doors
French doors are the best-looking way to get to a patio and the easiest to install badly. Get the hanging wrong and within two years the pair sags, the astragal stops meeting in the middle, there is a draft down the center of the opening and the lock only engages if you lean on the door.

Entry Doors
The front door is the only part of your house every visitor touches, and on most Orange County tract homes it is still the original slab with a deadbolt that needs a hip check. Replacing it is one of the few jobs that improves how the house looks, how it seals and how secure it is, all in a single day.

Window Screens & Sun Screens
Window screens are the least glamorous thing we do and one of the most cost-effective, and solar screens on a west elevation are close to the best dollar-per-degree upgrade available in this city. They stop the sun before it ever reaches the glass, which is a fundamentally better place to stop it than after it has already come inside.

Glass Repair & Insulated Glass Units
Foggy glass means the edge seal on your insulated glass unit has failed and the desiccant inside is saturated. Nobody can drill it, drain it, and make it permanently right, whatever the internet says, but you also do not need a whole new window: the sealed glass package comes out and a new one goes in while the frame, the sash and the hardware stay exactly where they are.

Commercial Storefront & Curtain Wall
Commercial storefront glass is engineered to a design pressure, inspected by the building department, and usually has to go in without closing the business. That combination is why it is a different trade from residential window replacement, and why the crew doing your house is not automatically the crew for your retail unit.

Skylights & Solar Tubes
Almost every leaking skylight we are called to look at is a flashing problem, not a skylight problem. That is why resealing it with a tube of caulk buys you exactly one dry winter, and why the same skylight has now been caulked by three different people.

Energy-Efficient & Low-E Windows
Energy-efficient windows in Anaheim are won or lost on solar heat gain, not on insulation. The number that decides your August electric bill is the SHGC on the NFRC label, and most of the quotes homeowners show us are chasing the wrong one. Up north a window is a coat: the job is keeping furnace heat inside, so U-factor rules and everybody talks about it.
- energy efficient windows
- low-E windows
- ENERGY STAR windows
- double pane windows
- argon filled windows
- Soft-coat sputtered low-E coatings, including double-silver and triple-silver stacks that cut solar heat gain without turning the glass gray
- Argon gas fill at roughly a half-inch airspace, or krypton where a narrow triple-pane cavity leaves no room for argon to work
- Warm-edge spacers in stainless steel, foam or thermoplastic instead of the conductive aluminum spacers that drive edge condensation
- NFRC labels read line by line with you: U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, visible transmittance, air leakage and condensation resistance
- Glass packages matched to the inland Orange County climate zone, where solar heat gain is the number that decides your August electric bill
- Dual-pane and triple-pane insulated glass units, with an honest recommendation on when the third lite is not worth the money here
- Thermally broken and multi-chamber frames so the sash and jamb are not undoing what you paid for in the glass
- Insulated fiberglass and foam-filled vinyl frames for the lowest whole-unit U-factor in the residential lineup
- Air-leakage sealing at the perimeter with low-expansion foam and a movement-rated exterior sealant, because a leaky install voids the label
- Whole-home replacement packages of ten to fifteen openings, typically one to two install days once the units arrive
- West and south elevation prioritization when the budget only covers part of the house
Title 24 Compliant Windows
Title 24 compliant windows are judged by the inspector on one thing: what the NFRC label says. California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards set a maximum U-factor and a maximum solar heat gain coefficient for replacement fenestration, and if the sticker on the glass does not meet them, the job does not pass. That is the whole game, and it is why the cheapest bid in your pile is sometimes the one that ends in a correction notice.
- Title 24 windows
- Title 24 compliant windows
- California energy code windows
- CF1R window compliance
- NFRC certified windows
- Prescriptive-path fenestration that meets the maximum U-factor and maximum SHGC the current standards set for our climate zone
- Performance-path documentation when the design wants more glass than the prescriptive table allows and the trade-off has to be modeled
- NFRC temporary labels left on the units for the field inspection, plus a copy of the certificate for your permit file
- California Energy Commission climate zone matching, because coastal and inland Orange County do not get the same glass
- Maximum area-weighted fenestration calculations for additions and remodels
- Alteration versus new-construction requirements, which are different and routinely mixed up by lower bidders
- Skylight U-factor and SHGC limits, which are stricter than the wall fenestration limits
- Low-E storefront and commercial glazing that satisfies the nonresidential envelope requirements
- Coordination with your permit set so the window schedule and the energy documents agree with each other
- Correction-notice rescue work when another contractor installed units that do not meet code and the inspector red-tagged the job
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl windows are the honest value pick for most Orange County homes, and anyone telling you otherwise is usually selling something with a bigger margin.
They never need painting, they will not corrode in the salt air that drifts inland on a west wind, and a well-built frame will hold its seal for decades at roughly half the price of fiberglass.
The catch is that vinyl covers an enormous quality range, and the difference between a good unit and a bad one is not visible from the street on install day.
- vinyl windows
- vinyl replacement windows
- vinyl window installation
- white vinyl windows
- vinyl retrofit windows
- Fusion-welded corners rather than mechanically fastened joints, which is the single biggest difference between a good vinyl window and a bad one
- Multi-chamber extrusions and foam-filled frames that raise the whole-unit U-factor, not just the center-of-glass number
- Titanium-dioxide UV stabilized profiles that hold their color instead of chalking after ten Orange County summers
- Reinforced meeting rails and steel-stiffened sash on wide horizontal sliders so the unit does not bow
- Retrofit insert installs that keep your stucco intact, and full-frame installs when the old frame has to come out
- Standard white and almond profiles plus laminated exterior finishes in bronze, black and woodgrain
- Block-frame, nail-fin and Z-bar configurations to match how the original window was set
- Sound-rated and laminated glass options in vinyl frames for homes on Ball Road, Katella and the 5 corridor
- Balance, roller, lock and weatherstrip repair on existing vinyl units when a full replacement is not warranted
- Realistic pricing: vinyl retrofit generally lands between $400 and $900 per opening installed in Orange County
Fiberglass & Composite Windows
Fiberglass windows cost roughly double what vinyl does, so the only useful question is when that premium is actually buying you something. Three situations justify it in Anaheim: large openings, dark exterior colors, and narrow sightlines you cannot get any other way. The material argument is genuinely good, not marketing.
- fiberglass windows
- composite windows
- fiberglass replacement windows
- pultruded fiberglass frames
- fiberglass window cost
- Pultruded fiberglass frames whose thermal expansion is close to that of the glass, so the seal is not being worked loose every hot afternoon
- Narrower sightlines than vinyl at the same structural strength, which matters on large picture and architectural openings
- Factory-applied acrylic finishes and paintable frames when the trim colors have to match an existing package
- Composite frames built from wood fiber and polymer for the look of painted wood without the maintenance
- Higher design-pressure ratings for wide sliders, tall casements and second-floor openings on exposed elevations
- Insulated and foam-filled fiberglass profiles for the lowest whole-unit U-factor we stock
- Dimensional stability on dark exterior colors, where vinyl on a south elevation can distort and fiberglass will not
- Fiberglass patio door frames and sidelites to match the window package
- Honest cost comparison: expect roughly double the vinyl price per opening, and a real payback only if you plan to stay
- AAMA and NAFS performance-class selection so the unit is rated for the opening it is going into
Wood & Clad-Wood Windows
Wood and clad-wood windows are what a period house needs, and a vinyl slider in a 1920s Craftsman opening will look wrong from the sidewalk for as long as you own the place.
Clad-wood solves the maintenance problem that scares people off timber: a solid wood interior for the room, wrapped in an extruded aluminum or fiberglass exterior that never gets painted. That combination is the standard answer for the older neighborhoods around here, and increasingly it is the only thing a design review board will approve.
- wood windows
- clad wood windows
- aluminum clad windows
- wood window replacement
- historic window restoration
- Extruded aluminum cladding over a solid wood interior, which is the standard answer for a period house that has to look right from the street
- Fiberglass-clad and vinyl-clad options where the exterior finish has to hold color with zero maintenance
- Pine, Douglas fir, oak and mahogany interiors, primed or stained to match existing casing and millwork
- Simulated divided lites with spacer bars between the panes for true period muntin shadow lines
- Sash replacement kits and jamb liners for original wood double-hungs whose frames are sound
- Rot repair and sill replacement before the new unit goes in, because covering rot is how a good window fails early
- Historic district and HOA architectural review support, including submittal packages and product cut sheets
- Insulated glass retrofit into existing wood sashes where the character of the original has to survive
- Weatherstripping, sash cord and balance restoration on double-hung units worth saving
- Maintenance reality check: an unclad wood exterior in Orange County wants refinishing every five to eight years
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows come in two entirely different products, and confusing them costs Anaheim homeowners real money every summer. The original single-pane aluminum sliders in most pre-1980 tract houses here are the reason the back bedroom is unlivable by mid-afternoon; modern thermally broken aluminum is a legitimate high-performance frame that belongs on specific houses. The difference is a strip of polyamide, or a poured-and-debridged pocket of resin, running through the frame to interrupt the thermal bridge.
- aluminum windows
- aluminum window replacement
- thermally broken aluminum windows
- single pane aluminum window replacement
- aluminum slider replacement
- Thermally broken aluminum frames with a polyamide or poured-and-debridged barrier, the only aluminum worth putting in a house here
- Replacement of original single-pane aluminum sliders, which is most of the pre-1980 housing stock in this part of Orange County
- Narrow-sightline aluminum for modern and mid-century elevations where a vinyl frame would look heavy
- Anodized and powder-coated finishes in clear, bronze, black and custom colors
- Structural aluminum for wide openings and multi-slide units that vinyl cannot span
- Commercial-grade aluminum framing for storefronts, offices and multifamily corridors
- Condensation control, because non-thermally-broken aluminum will sweat on a cold January morning and rot the sill below it
- Screen frame and roller replacement on existing aluminum sliders where the frame is still square
- AAMA architectural, commercial and residential performance grades matched to the opening
- Honest guidance on when aluminum is the wrong answer: on most tract-home retrofits, vinyl or fiberglass will outperform it per dollar
Double-Hung & Single-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are the ones that get painted shut, and in the older neighborhoods of this city that is one of the most common calls we take. A double-hung has two operating sashes in one frame, an upper and a lower, and both of them are supposed to move; a single-hung has a fixed upper sash and only the bottom one slides. That one difference drives the price, the air-leakage rating and most of the repairs we do.
- double hung windows
- single hung windows
- double hung window replacement
- tilt-in double hung windows
- sash replacement
- Tilt-in sashes on both the upper and lower panels so the exterior glass can be cleaned from inside a second-floor bedroom
- Block-and-tackle and constant-force coil balances, sized to the sash weight so the window stays where you put it
- Single-hung units where only the bottom sash operates, which costs less and leaks less air than a double-hung
- Cam-action sash locks and keeper alignment, the actual reason most old double-hungs whistle
- Balance, shoe, tilt-latch and weatherstrip repair on existing units when the frame and glass are still sound
- Full-frame replacement when the old wood frame is out of square or the pockets have been foamed shut
- Colonial, prairie and diamond grille patterns, between the glass or as applied exterior muntins
- Egress-compliant double-hung sizing for bedrooms, where the net clear opening is what counts, not the rough opening
- Laminated and acoustic glass in double-hung frames for homes near the 5, the 57 and the 91
- Painted-shut window rescue, which is a real service and a very common call in the older neighborhoods
Casement & Awning Windows
Casement windows seal tighter than anything else you can buy, because the crank pulls the sash into the weatherstrip instead of sliding past it. Awning units use the same hardware hinged at the top, which is why you can leave a kitchen or bathroom window cracked through a February rain and nothing comes in.
That compression seal is not a marketing claim, it is the physical reason casements consistently post the lowest air-leakage numbers on the NFRC label of any operable style.
- casement windows
- awning windows
- crank out windows
- casement window replacement
- casement window crank repair
- Crank-out casement sashes that compress against the weatherstrip when closed, which is why they test tighter for air leakage than any slider
- Awning units hinged at the top, so a bathroom or kitchen window can stay open through a February rain
- Operator, gearbox, hinge arm and roto-crank replacement on existing casements, a repair that costs a fraction of a new unit
- Multi-point locking hardware that pulls the sash tight at the head, sill and jamb rather than at one point
- Egress-compliant casement sizing, where the sash swing has to clear enough net opening to satisfy the bedroom requirement
- Casement picture combinations for wide openings that need both view and ventilation
- Wind-load and design-pressure selection for exposed second-floor and canyon-side elevations
- Folding cranks and low-profile handles that clear blinds and window treatments
- Screens mounted on the interior side, which is how casement screens work and surprises people every time
- Vinyl, fiberglass, clad-wood and thermally broken aluminum casement frames
Sliding & Gliding Windows
Sliding windows are the default in Southern California tract housing, which means most of the ones in this city are original, aluminum, and running on rollers that gave up somewhere around the Clinton administration. A horizontal slider moves one sash past another in a track, and everything good and bad about the style follows from that. Good: it is the cheapest way to get a wide opening, nothing swings into your walkway, and there is very little hardware to fail.
- sliding windows
- horizontal slider windows
- gliding windows
- slider window replacement
- sliding window roller repair
- Single-slide and double-slide configurations, plus three-lite XOX units for wide living-room openings
- Tandem brass and stainless roller assemblies that carry the sash weight without gouging the track
- Track replacement and sill-track inserts on old aluminum sliders where the metal has worn through
- Reinforced meeting rails and interlocks so a six-foot slider does not flex and whistle in a Santa Ana wind
- Removable sashes for cleaning and for getting furniture through a ground-floor opening
- Egress-rated sliders for bedrooms, sized on net clear opening rather than nominal width
- Laminated glass in sliders for both sound control and forced-entry resistance at ground level
- Secondary sash locks, pin locks and charley bars for ground-floor and rear-elevation windows
- Retrofit installs into existing aluminum slider openings without disturbing the stucco
- Screen track and screen frame replacement, which is usually what people actually mean when they say the slider is broken
Bay & Bow Windows
A bay or bow window is not really a window job, it is a small carpentry project with glass in it. There is a projection to support, a roof to flash, an interior seat board to finish and a header to check. The companies that treat it as a straight swap are the reason we get so many calls about sagging bays.
- bay windows
- bow windows
- garden windows
- bay window replacement
- bay window installation cost
- Angled bay assemblies at 30 and 45 degrees with a fixed picture center and operating casement or double-hung flankers
- Curved bow assemblies of four, five or six lites for a softer projection across a wider opening
- Cable support systems and knee braces, because a bay carries its own weight plus whatever ends up sitting on the seat board
- Insulated seat boards and head boards with a veneer or paint-grade finish to match the interior trim
- Roof and skirt framing over the projection, flashed and tied into the existing wall so it does not become a leak
- Garden windows for kitchens, with side vents and a glass shelf for herbs that will die anyway
- Structural header evaluation when the existing opening has to be widened to take the assembly
- Low-E glass on all lites, since a bay puts a lot more glass area on one elevation than a flat window does
- Sagging and leaking bay repair, including rotted seat board and support replacement on existing units
- Realistic pricing: a fully framed bay with roof and interior finish is a multi-day carpentry job, not a window swap
Picture & Architectural Windows
A picture window is the cheapest square footage of glass you can buy and the tightest-sealing unit in the catalog, for the same reason: nothing about it moves. No sash, no balance, no roller, no lock, no gap for air to find. That is why fixed glass consistently posts the best air-leakage numbers on the NFRC label.
- picture windows
- fixed windows
- architectural windows
- arched windows
- large picture window replacement
- Fixed picture units with no operating hardware, which is why they seal tighter and cost less per square foot than anything that opens
- Radius, half-round, elliptical, octagon, trapezoid and triangle shapes for gable ends and entry transoms
- Custom arch tops and eyebrow units matched to an existing opening rather than forced into a stock size
- Transoms and sidelites coordinated with the entry door package so the sightlines line up
- Tempered glass wherever the code requires it, which includes glazing near doors, near floors and in wet areas
- Laminated glass on large spans for safety, sound and UV control on the west elevation
- Structural mullions and reinforced combination frames for picture-and-operator assemblies
- Crane and multi-person set for oversized lites that will not go up a ladder
- Low-E coating selection tuned for glare and fading control on the biggest glass in the house
- Failed-seal and cracked-lite replacement in existing picture windows without touching the frame
Egress Windows
Egress windows are what let a room legally be a bedroom, and the number that decides it is net clear opening, not the size printed on your invoice. That single misunderstanding is the most common reason a garage conversion or an ADU gets red-tagged at inspection, usually after the drywall is already up. Net clear opening is the actual hole a person can pass through when the window is fully open.
- egress windows
- egress window installation
- bedroom egress window
- egress window code
- ADU egress window
- Net clear opening sizing, which is the actual hole a person fits through and is always smaller than the window you ordered
- Sill height limits measured from the finished floor, the requirement that trips up most garage and attic conversions
- Minimum clear opening height and width checked against the current California Residential Code before we order anything
- Casement and horizontal slider configurations chosen for whichever gives you the most net opening in the rough opening you have
- Opening enlargement with header and king-stud work when the existing window cannot be made to comply
- ADU, JADU and garage conversion egress, where the plan checker will look at this line first
- Bedroom additions and finished attic rooms that need a compliant escape and rescue opening
- Emergency escape hardware that operates from inside without a key, tool or special knowledge
- Coordination with your plan set and the field inspection so the window schedule matches what gets installed
- Honest assessment when a room simply cannot be permitted as a bedroom without structural work
Impact-Rated & Security Windows
Impact-rated windows in Anaheim are not about hurricanes, and any contractor selling them to you that way is padding the invoice. What laminated impact glass actually buys you here is forced-entry resistance, Santa Ana wind loading on exposed lots, freeway noise reduction and UV control, and on the right openings that is genuinely worth the money. The construction is simple and clever.
- impact resistant windows
- security windows
- laminated glass windows
- burglar resistant windows
- forced entry resistant windows
- Laminated glass built from two lites bonded to a PVB or ionoplast interlayer, so a break leaves a spiderwebbed pane still sitting in the frame
- Forced-entry resistance at ground-floor and rear-elevation openings, which is the real reason to buy laminated glass in Orange County
- Reinforced frames, multi-point locks, keyed sash locks and laminated sidelites at entry doors
- Santa Ana wind loading on exposed hillside and canyon elevations, where design pressure is a genuine spec and not a sales line
- UV rejection through the interlayer, which cuts the fading that destroys hardwood floors and upholstery on a south wall
- Acoustic benefit of the same laminated build, worth several decibels on a house near the 91 or the 57
- Tempered versus laminated selection, because they fail in completely different ways and the code treats them differently
- Security film retrofit as a lower-cost option on existing glass that is otherwise in good shape
- AAMA and NAFS performance-class and design-pressure matching for the opening
- Laminated glass in patio doors and large fixed lites, the two openings a burglar actually looks at
Patio & Sliding Glass Doors
A patio slider you have to shoulder open is the most annoying thing in the house, and it is usually a two-hundred-dollar roller problem sitting inside somebody else's three-thousand-dollar quote. Before anyone talks to you about a new door, the rollers, the track and the alignment should be checked, because on a sound frame that is the entire repair. Here is how the mechanism works and why it fails.
- sliding glass doors
- patio door replacement
- sliding patio door installation
- multi slide patio doors
- patio door roller repair
- Two-panel, three-panel and four-panel sliding configurations sized to the existing opening or a widened one
- Multi-slide and pocketing door systems that stack or disappear into the wall for a full indoor-outdoor opening
- Tandem stainless and brass roller assemblies with adjustable height, the part that decides whether the door glides or fights you
- Sill track replacement and track caps on worn aluminum thresholds, plus ADA-friendly low-profile sills
- Tempered safety glass throughout, as the code requires for any glazing in a door
- Laminated glass options for sound and forced-entry resistance on the most vulnerable opening in the house
- Foot bolts, secondary locks, anti-lift blocks and charley bars for ground-floor security
- Screen door, screen roller and screen track replacement, the most common patio-door service call we get
- Low-E and solar-control coatings, since a patio slider is often the largest single piece of glass on the elevation
- Header and structural work when a narrow 1970s slider is being opened up to a modern multi-panel unit
French Doors
French doors are the best-looking way to get to a patio and the easiest to install badly. Get the hanging wrong and within two years the pair sags, the astragal stops meeting in the middle, there is a draft down the center of the opening and the lock only engages if you lean on the door.
A French door is a hinged pair: an active leaf you use every day and an inactive leaf held by flush bolts top and bottom, with an astragal, the vertical strip, closing the gap between them.
- French doors
- French patio doors
- interior French doors
- French door installation
- French door replacement
- Inswing and outswing hinged pairs with an active and an inactive leaf, plus astragal and flush-bolt hardware
- Single French doors with fixed sidelites where the opening is too narrow for a true pair
- Multi-point locking hardware that engages at the head, jamb and sill instead of a single deadbolt
- Simulated divided lites and true grille patterns for period and Spanish Revival elevations
- Sill and threshold selection, including adjustable and rot-proof composite sills that actually shed water
- Tempered safety glass in every lite, as required for door glazing, with laminated available for sound and security
- Clad-wood, fiberglass and vinyl French door frames matched to the window package
- Interior French doors for offices, dens and ADU conversions where light matters more than sound
- Sag and alignment correction on existing pairs, usually a hinge and strike problem rather than a door problem
- Weatherstrip, astragal and sweep replacement to stop the draft down the middle of the pair
Entry Doors
The front door is the only part of your house every visitor touches, and on most Orange County tract homes it is still the original slab with a deadbolt that needs a hip check. Replacing it is one of the few jobs that improves how the house looks, how it seals and how secure it is, all in a single day. Material first, because it drives everything else.
- entry doors
- front door replacement
- fiberglass entry doors
- entry door with sidelites
- door and sidelite installation
- Insulated fiberglass and steel entry doors with polyurethane foam cores, which outperform a solid slab on U-factor by a wide margin
- Solid wood and stain-grade doors for period houses where the entry is the whole first impression
- Sidelites, transoms and full-lite glass inserts, glazed with tempered or laminated glass as the code and the exposure require
- Pre-hung units versus slab replacement, and an honest read on which one your opening needs
- Multi-point locks, reinforced strike plates, three-inch screws into the framing and hinge-side security pins
- Adjustable composite sills and door sweeps that seal without dragging on the tile
- Smart lock and keypad deadbolt prep bored to the hardware you actually bought
- Full-lite and half-lite glass with internal blinds or obscure glass for privacy at the entry
- Threshold flashing and pan installation, because the front door is a hole in the wall at the lowest point of it
- Door and window packages coordinated so the finishes, grilles and glass match across the elevation
Window Screens & Sun Screens
Window screens are the least glamorous thing we do and one of the most cost-effective, and solar screens on a west elevation are close to the best dollar-per-degree upgrade available in this city. They stop the sun before it ever reaches the glass, which is a fundamentally better place to stop it than after it has already come inside. That is the physics worth understanding.
- window screens
- window screen replacement
- solar screens
- screen repair
- retractable screens
- Fiberglass, aluminum and pet-resistant screen mesh, rescreened into your existing frames when the frames are still square
- New aluminum screen frames built to the opening, in mill, bronze, black and white finishes
- Solar and sun-control screens that block a large share of incoming solar radiation before it ever reaches the glass
- Retractable and disappearing screens for entry doors, French pairs and patio openings
- Sliding screen doors with new rollers, tracks and pull handles, plus track straightening on bent aluminum sills
- Casement screens mounted on the interior side, which is how crank-out windows work
- Security screens and screen doors with heavier mesh and reinforced frames at ground-floor openings
- Invisible and high-transparency mesh for picture windows where the view is the point
- Whole-house rescreen packages, usually a single-visit job
- The cheap fix nobody offers you: if the frame is straight, we rescreen it instead of selling you a new one
Glass Repair & Insulated Glass Units
Foggy glass means the edge seal on your insulated glass unit has failed and the desiccant inside is saturated. Nobody can drill it, drain it, and make it permanently right, whatever the internet says, but you also do not need a whole new window: the sealed glass package comes out and a new one goes in while the frame, the sash and the hardware stay exactly where they are. Here is what an insulated glass unit actually is.
- glass repair
- insulated glass replacement
- foggy window repair
- broken window glass replacement
- double pane glass replacement
- Failed-seal insulated glass unit replacement, where the frame and sash stay and only the sealed glass package comes out
- Fogged and hazy glass caused by a breached edge seal and a saturated desiccant, which no defogging gimmick permanently fixes
- Custom-fabricated IGUs built to your measured sightline with the correct spacer depth and low-E surface orientation
- Tempered, laminated, obscure, patterned and wire glass replacement to match the original and satisfy the code
- Single-pane glass replacement in older wood, steel and aluminum sashes
- Emergency board-up followed by a permanent replacement once the custom glass arrives
- Storefront, entrance and commercial glass replacement including tempered door lites
- Screen, glazing bead, setting block and glazing tape replacement as part of the reglaze
- Argon refill is not a service anyone can honestly sell you, so we replace the unit instead of pretending
- Straight economics: an IGU swap is a fraction of a new window when the frame and hardware are still good
Commercial Storefront & Curtain Wall
Commercial storefront glass is engineered to a design pressure, inspected by the building department, and usually has to go in without closing the business. That combination is why it is a different trade from residential window replacement, and why the crew doing your house is not automatically the crew for your retail unit. The systems themselves are aluminum.

Skylights & Solar Tubes
Almost every leaking skylight we are called to look at is a flashing problem, not a skylight problem. That is why resealing it with a tube of caulk buys you exactly one dry winter, and why the same skylight has now been caulked by three different people. A skylight is a hole in the roof, and a hole in the roof is managed by flashing, not by sealant.

- skylight replacement
- solar tubes
- leaking skylight repair
- tubular daylight devices
- Deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights with a manufacturer flashing kit matched to your roof covering
- Tubular daylighting devices, the ten-inch and fourteen-inch tubes that light an interior hallway or bathroom with no attic framing changes
- Fixed, manual venting and solar-powered venting units with rain sensors that close themselves
- Laminated and tempered glazing rather than acrylic domes, which yellow and craze in this sun
- Low-E and solar-control coatings, because skylight U-factor and SHGC limits under Title 24 are stricter than wall glazing
- Leak diagnosis on existing skylights, which is nearly always a flashing or step-flashing failure rather than the unit itself
- Curb rebuild, flashing replacement and reroof coordination so the skylight and the roof are one detail, not two
- Light shafts framed, drywalled and finished from the roof deck to the ceiling plane
- Blinds, shades and remote operation for bedrooms and west-facing rooms
- Honest verdict on old acrylic bubbles: if it is hazed and crazed, replace the unit rather than reseal it every spring
What Anaheim property owners ask us
Which window services does Anaheim Elite Windows handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Anaheim and Orange County. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Anaheim Customers Say
Replaced fourteen windows with low-E units and the back bedroom finally stopped being an oven by two in the afternoon. They quoted per opening so I could see exactly what I was paying for, and the crew sealed and flashed everything properly.
Got three quotes. These were the only ones who actually read the NFRC label to me and explained what the solar heat gain number meant. Install took two days, the stucco was untouched, and the inspector signed off with no notes.
Our patio slider had been fighting us for years. They rebuilt the rollers and the track for a fraction of what another company quoted for a whole new door. Told me straight that the door itself was fine. That is rare.
Two fogged windows and a cracked pane. They swapped just the insulated glass units instead of pushing full replacements, matched the sightline exactly, and were done in one visit. Honest pricing and no upsell.
