Patio Sliding Door with new moldings
James L.

Just replaced 4 bedroom windows, 1 bathroom window and two patio sliding doors on my 40 years old condo. The whole process from quoting to finish installing took about 6 weeks, not counting the week I waited for my HOA to approved the job. Communication was great. The crew that did the install was efficient and cleaned up the place really nice afterwards. They showed up at 8:20 AM and finished before 2:00PM. The price was competitive compared with few other companies. I would recommend this company.

I've waited to leave this review to see the outcome of the manufacturer warranty. I met with Jacek before my house closed escrow in December 2023 or January 2024 because I knew the first thing that needed to be done was to upgrade the windows (and there were a lot) that were original to my 1990 home. He was one of six quotes I received. What I liked about him: He didn't come across too "salesy." He didn't employ gimmicks like some of the other salespeople. He didn't try to sell me on unnecessary upgrades. He was in and out and provided the estimates the same day. He gave me the impression that he had a ton of experience and that employing sales tactics was simply not something he needed to do. He's straightforward. I appreciated that. His quote was on par with one other company, while the others were significantly higher. I received several estimates from him as I was weighing the option of white-framed windows versus black-framed windows. I was also considering whether I wanted to go with Milgard or Simonton. The black-framed windows were double the cost of the white-framed for both manufacturers. I, ultimately, decided to go with the black-framed Simonton because the frames were slimmer, and I knew they would look great with my interior white walls. Installers arrived on the exact dates that Jacek provided. We had a bit of a situation with the French doors being installed far too high off the ground which created a tripping hazard. After a bit of an escalation to Jacek and his son, the installers eventually fixed this issue, and it was ultimately resolved. The windows, however, were a disappointment, to say the least. Many of the single hung windows were installed with cosmetic defects. What I received: Windows with chipped corners. Windows where the coating wasn't evenly applied and revealed the white window underneath. If you're like me and expect your brand-new, black-framed windows to arrive in pristine condition, do not buy Simonton. I paid almost double the amount of what it would cost for white-framed windows to have the aesthetic of the black-framed windows in my new home. Once the windows were installed, I noticed blemish after blemish. There is no QA process prior to install. See pictures. I raised this to Jacek at which point he quickly opened a case and passed me onto Simonton. 5 months later, the technician arrives, runs his finger along where one of the issues is, continues to chip more of the black coating off (essentially making it worse) and then tells me there is nothing that can be done. He tells me this is the quality of the windows that Simonton produces, and if he orders a replacement, it will arrive in the same condition or worse. So, if you spend tens of thousands of dollars on black-framed windows, do not buy Simonton. I would almost recommend going with the white windows or, if you buy the black-framed windows, consider spending more for a quality brand. 1 star for ease of doing business before install 1 star for adhering to the install timeline that was agreed upon 1 star for being willing to correct the install of the French doors 0 stars for installing cosmetically defective windows 0 stars for recommending a manufacturer that does not care about the quality of their product

My home needed new windows after 30 plus years, so my friend highly suggested California Window Masters. The process from start to finish was efficient and stress free. Jacek provided us with 3 different quotes for 13 windows and 1 patio door. He also provided brochures and answered my questions of the differences in windows promptly. The prices were affordable and reasonable. We choose the Simonton Windows. The day of installation went smoothly. The installation team were very professional and worked efficiently as a team. They were also approachable and answered questions we had. They treated our home with respect and cleaned up throughly. They finished in a day. We are sooo happy with our new windows and can already feel a difference. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs new windows.

Great Service. We got 11 windows and a Patio door replaced from CWM. Jacek helped us with entire process in Milpitas area. He is very professional to work with. He visited the location and provided us with 3 quotes for different windows manufacturers. Based on our research, we found the prices to be very reasonable. We chose a date for windows installation which was a month from our very first appointment. Installation took one full day and 3 hours the next day. On the day of installation, his team arrived on time and did a very good job in installing all the windows and a Patio door. They replaced the windows and took care of all the trash. Payment was made via check which was mailed directly to CWM. During the entire process, Jacek helped us with all the queries. He was very easily reachable. He is very knowledgable and professional. I strongly recommend him for the windows replacement projects. Thanks for the great experience.

So we had a window contractor lined up to do our installation. I came across Radek & California Window Masters and decided to get one more estimate. Being nervous and skeptical about new black windows, Radek assured us that it would compliment our little home with a few mountain/hill views in South San Jose. Boy were we blown awag with the clarity of the glass and outside views. Not to mention the crew that came to install. They neatly covered our furniture with plastic & covered floors with cloth tarps. In few hrs they had most our windows up with ease. They made it look like a DIY effortless install . They cleaned up and packed up as if we had a maid with no debri/garbage left behind. Once again I wanted thank Radek & the crew for a phenomenal professional job and definitely recommended to my neighbors and family.

See all

I purchased a four-panel folding door as a room separator from Pacific Doorcraft in Sept, 2025. I…read moream not a professional contractor but have acted as General on several remodels and new builds. This was one of the most problematic experiences I have been through. It caused me many days' worth of wasted time and in the end, I was left with a substandard product and installation. The folks I worked with were nice and seemed to care, but in the end were not knowledgeable or capable enough to accomplish what needed to get done. 5 months after initiating dialogue with Pacific Doorcraft, the real problems started at installation in March, 2025. We might have been able to work through many of the mistakes and oversights by Pacific Doorcraft such as: * Not enough hinge screws provided * Top and bottom hardware rails too long and need to be shortened * Trim facia too short * Door length too long and needed to be shortened (Pacific Doorcraft came out to the job site and did their own measurements) * Not enough top rollers to support all four panels * Door hardware screws too short (this required more trips to several hardware stores before I found the specialty screws needed) * Bottom rail hardware not functional so we abandoned the bottom door guide under the advice from Pacific Doorcraft and were told the doors did not need it... ...but when we went to mount the third swinging panel, we realized that the doors were hinged incorrectly, after several hours of trying to make things work it was clear we could not complete the installation. To his credit, the owner came out to assess and agreed that the doors needed to be hinged differently. He took the doors back to the shop for rework and offered to come out and help me finish the installation. When he came back, the installation was partially successful, but the doors don't fold flat against the wall and pull awkwardly against the hardware. He admitted that was the best he could do and told me it should be OK. He then measured for the correct trim length and offered to redo the trim pieces. After several days, I went to pick up the trim and drove back to the job site to install it. The trim pieces were each 3 inches too short! I then had to make another trip to the lumber yard, purchase more trim, cut it to the correct size and install it. What should have taken me 30 min, took me half a day. It was the straw that broke the camel's back and led me to write this review. Could I have double checked the trim length before I picked it up...yes, could I have double checked every piece of work along the way to make sure they did everything correct, maybe? Is that what I expect from a vendor and who I want to work with, NO! Engage this company with caution.

I highly recommend working with Pacific Doorcraft! I worked with Andrew and Daniel for a storage…read morebuiltin in my new house. I wanted a modern and look, and they completely understood the aesthetic. I got to choose a stain from several choices. They were great to work with and very responsive. The overall process was very quick. The installers worked hard to make sure that the cabinetry lined up perfectly with the wall and dropped ceiling for that custom builtin look. There are so many beautiful details like how the grain aligns vertically across the cabinet and drawers and the neat installation of the outlet covers inside the cabinet. I am so happy with the result, it's so beautiful and well built!

We were recommended by another company to come here and I can see why. Homer was really patient with me and spent a lot of time with my husband and I in trying to find the right flooring. On top of that, Homer answered my concerns and questions via email too. He is just wonderful! My only advice is to not ever get Mohawk tecwood, natural linen oak. It's my fault. I tried to research and I picked it. Homer tried to steer us to better quality to hold up for everyday use, but I was dead set on this. I should have listened. I will be back and listen to Homer next time. Just love this place!

Mixed experience with FMD Distributor…read more On the positive side, We worked with Homer for our flooring project and had a fantastic experience. He was courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Unfortunately, our experience with Shawn on the windows and doors side was the complete opposite. He often came across as condescending, seemed distracted and in a rush, and follow-up was poor. Customer service and communication were disappointing, and we were left wondering why someone with that attitude is in a customer-facing role. Based on my experience, I would happily recommend Homer for flooring, but I cannot say the same for the windows and doors department.
