Anaheim Elite Windows provides professional custom window installation in Anaheim, CA for residential and commercial properties across Orange County. An arch is not a size. It is a radius, a spring line, and a sill that may not be level, and none of those three sit in a catalog. That gap is the whole difference between this page and ordinary replacement work.
Anaheim gives us two sources of odd openings. The Colony-era bungalows near downtown carry segmental heads over front windows and deep wood sash with real profile. The later remodels added gable trapezoids, half-rounds over entries, and fixed glass sized to a view rather than to a stock chart.
Nothing in a 1920s opening is square. We measure the head radius at three points, not one, and we record the diagonal both ways before anything is ordered. A field-measured arch is not a catalog radius, and a unit ordered to a drawing dimension rather than a templated one is not a returnable item.
True divided light is the other request this stock generates. Individual panes in a real muntin grid is a joinery order with its own lead time, and it costs you seal length at every bar. Simulated divided lites with a spacer bar between the panes throw a genuine shadow line and read correctly from the sidewalk, which is the cheaper answer on most elevations here.
Oversized fixed glass carries a code consequence people miss. Title 24 Part 6 gives replacement of 75 square feet or less of vertical glass an easier prescriptive target, U-factor 0.40 with a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.35 in this zone. Push past that area and the job is measured at 0.30 and 0.23 instead.
The 2025 edition of Title 24 has been in force since the first of January, so the compliance form rides on the permit either way. Anaheim's Building Division prints a window replacement box on its own application with a field for the number of windows, and a trapezoid has no stock size to write in it.
If the shape itself changes, the review grows. Raising a head to take an arch means a new header and framing review, and that is a different submittal from a like-for-like swap. We settle which one you are in before the order, not after the stucco is open.
Here is the consequence nobody mentions at the deposit stage. Custom means there is no stock replacement sitting on a shelf. If a unit arrives with a scratched lite or a bad corner weld, you wait out the build again, and in ten years a failed sash is another templated order rather than a parts counter.
So the recommendation. If a standard unit will fit the opening with trim, and you are only paying the premium for a quarter of an inch, buy the standard unit and let the trim carry the difference. Plenty of Colony rectangles are exactly that job.
We will tell you which of your openings genuinely needs templating and which three do not, and we would rather say it on the proposal than after the truck arrives.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, laminated safety glass, NFRC-labeled U-factor and SHGC ratings — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anaheim and nearby communities including Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove.

Materials, equipment and how we do custom window installation
The difference between custom window installation that lasts and custom window installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Anaheim job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
