Window Gallery in Santa Ana

Three companies told us the 1921 double-hungs had to come out. These guys pulled one sash, showed us the stiles were solid and only the bottom rail was soft, and rebuilt all eleven with epoxy and new cords. They hold anywhere you put them now and the rattle is gone. The estimate broke out carpentry and glazing separately so we could stage the work over two years.

I manage four postwar buildings and did not need anything fancy. They looked at the parcels, confirmed nothing was designated, and quoted plain vinyl retrofits instead of talking me into restoration. Crews were in and out in two days per building and the tenants never lost a night. Straight answers and no upsell, which is not what I expected from a company with restoration on its website.

They talked me out of the expensive option. I wanted laminated impact glass everywhere and they explained that what I actually cared about was break-in resistance on the two ground-floor bedrooms, not the whole house. Did those two, left the rest alone, and the bill came to about a third of what I had budgeted. The reglazing on the front bay looks like it has always been there.

Our building downtown had transom glass boarded over since before we bought it. They opened it back up, reglazed the textured lites that survived, matched the two that did not, and the showroom does not need lights until late afternoon now. They handled the safety glazing on the entry doors at the same time. Todo el equipo habla español, which made the walkthrough with my father much easier.
