I didn't think companies like this still existed. Beginning with my visit to their showroom, to the installation itself, I encountered friendly, informed, clean-cut professionals. I let them know I had a limited budget and they were very careful to not pressure me into something I couldn't afford. This didn't mean they only showed me low end windows. My window consultant, Dallas, also made sure I knew about the sale they were having on the Milgard Tuscany windows. Turned out, that with the sale, I was able to purchase top of the line windows for less than some other lesser brands. They were also able to provide me with the dark color my homeowner's association required on the outside of the windows and sliding door. Another reason I chose California Glass & Window was the white glove installation I read about on their website. I was not disappointed! Josh and the rest of the crew got out of the truck wearing clean white uniform shirts. This alone was an improvement over other people I've had show up to work in my home. The installers began by covering the walking areas to protect my floors. Throughout the day if I had any questions they were kind enough to take time to discuss things with me. It was so refreshing to have a full crew that could communicate with me in English and didn't mind my questions. The installation was well organized and went very quickly. These guys are pros. The windows and my sliding door all look great and operate wonderfully. I could not have asked for a more courteous, respectful and professional installation. They treated my house like it was their own. When they left, the windows were all washed, the old ones hauled away, and my house cleaner than when they arrived. I highly recommend California Glass & Window. I got a few other bids before deciding. They were not the lowest, nor were they the most expensive, but I certainly made the best choice. They are worth the little extra I paid over the low bidders. read more

I recently had replacement windows and sliding doors installed in both of my condos in Santa Ana, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and hassle-free. I worked directly with the owner, Jeff, as well as his staff members, Justin and Danielle. They were all incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. From my first inquiry to the final installation, they made sure I was informed and comfortable with every step of the process. One of my main concerns was making sure everything complied with my HOA's requirements. Jeff and his team took care of everything, handling all the necessary approvals and ensuring that the installation met the HOA's guidelines. This saved me a ton of time and stress, and I really appreciated their expertise in dealing with these kinds of regulations. The quality of the windows and sliding doors is excellent. Both units now have updated, energy-efficient windows that look fantastic and function perfectly. The installation crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my property. They worked quickly but carefully, leaving no mess behind and ensuring everything was installed to the highest standard. Another huge plus was the cost. I did my research before moving forward, and their pricing was very competitive--actually lower than I expected for the level of quality and service I received. It's rare to find a company that offers both affordability and top-tier workmanship, but they delivered on both. Overall, I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to replace their windows and doors. Their customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. If you're in the market for window replacements, especially if you have HOA requirements to deal with, Jeff, Justin, and Danielle are the team to trust. I would absolutely work with them again in the future! read more

I found California Window and Solar and have been blown away by their service. Having looked at Yelp's reviews, I had an idea of how they operated and was very hopeful. They did not disappoint! Their showroom (the old one) was nice and they showed me all the different offerings they had. Then Dallas came to my condo (ON TIME!) to do a quick estimate. Very easy. The hardest part was dealing with my two HOAs to get approval of the window replacements, which took over 2-3 weeks. After that was all settled, we had the windows manufactured and ready to go. Joshua and his excellent team came just a few days ago to get everything installed. Never had windows replaced, so I did not know what to expect. Honestly, with replacing 12 windows, I was expecting this whole process to take from 9am-7pm. The team showed up right at 8:30am and went over some details. My wife is from Japan and is very picky about people walking into the house with shoes. The guys all wore boot covers and laid floor covering ALL over the house! She was very happy. By 9:30am ALL of my old windows were removed quietly and cleanly and I kid you not, they had all the windows leveled and retrofitted in by 11:30am!! They took a lunch and then completed all the final sealing and interior moldings. These guys have to be the cleanest bunch of workers EVER. They vacuumed, cleaned all the windows spotless, and made sure everything was probably cleaner than before they came in. Amazingly, they had finished everything by 2pm. My son, who was at school, was expecting to see the house in progress after coming home was disappointed that he missed the entire thing. Oh well. I can't recommend enough the fantastic service California Window and Solar have provided. Beyond my expectations. They're not just a great company but a great family that takes care of their customers. Thank you everyone for the wonderful experience! read more

Jeff did the estimate for our patio doors .We were very impressed with the way he conducted himself. My husband and I do not like company estimators who badmouth the competition. He did not talk about the competition but instead he talked about his company and the Milgard product. Jeff was very knowledgeable about what he was selling. He answered all our questions and most importantly, he did not pressure us to decide that same night he was here! No gimmicks at all...what a relief! He explained the product, answered questions, did the measurements, made calculations and gave us the price right there and then. He then told us to call him once we made the decision to go with his company. It was a very different experience from the competition where we were asked to decide that same night, otherwise, the price will not be affordable for us. With no hesitation, we used the company and decided on the 2 Tuscany sliding Doors. Installation was very professional. Cleanup was good. One of the installers was actually the son of one of the owners but he did not behave like one. We only learnt about his connection to the family after the job was done. What a nice surprise, he worked as hard as the other person that day! No wonder they are a successful family business! The Milgard Tuscany sliding doors are amazing! They slide easily which is very helpful for us seniors. The doors are very efficient in blocking the outside heat...it could be very hot outside but when we touch the glass inside the house, the outside heat has no effect at all! I am sure this would mean energy savings. We highly recommend the California Glass Window in Costa Mesa, CA and would use them again. We are very happy with our Milgard Tuscany doors. read more

To anyone who reads this and is shopping for new windows, California Window & Solar is by far your BEST option. The Company itself has been based in Orange County forever and is Family owned and operated and I could not have been more impressed with their workmanship, skill sets and overall professionalism. Any company can sell you a window but how that window is installed and supported is what separates California Window &Solar from EVERYONE else. From start to finish, the quality of interaction sets you at ease that you chose right for this big purchase. You will receive courtesy calls giving you updates on availability and scheduling for the job from Headquarters, they will collaborate with you on each and every single window making sure that it makes the most sense for you and your lifestyle, and the installation, which can scare most people literally was the easiest thing because of their level of preparation and white glove service. They placed tarps and protection all over your floor, carpet and furniture and their cleanup and attention to detail is second to none. The crew is employed directly by California window & solar and again, they are all family members in which they were incredibly courteous, polite and attentive. We all know how challenging buying things are in this day and age, getting your money's worth seems like a thing of the past but this was an experience that reminded you of how it used to be when companies took care of their customers and I strongly recommend that if you are considering buying windows you give these guys your business, you will be incredibly thankful that you did Alex read more

Dan -- OCContractor, Inc., Orange County, CA My relationship with the Conkle family goes back over 45 years. Long before fax machines, pagers, cell phones, or the internet, I was driving out to their location on Katella Avenue in Cypress to place orders in person, grabbing lunch at the little Chinese restaurant next door before heading back to the job site. That's how far back we go. Over the years I worked closely with Victor Conkle, and watching this family business grow has been something special. Today, Dallas and Jeff Conkle are running California Windows, and they have taken everything that was built before them and grown it into the most reliable, knowledgeable, and trusted window and door company in Orange County. In all that time, one thing has never changed: the Conkle family and their team are simply the best in the business. The consultation, the measurements, the product selection, the installation every step is handled with a level of professionalism and precision that is genuinely hard to find. Installations are as close to perfect as anything I've seen in this industry. There's a reason they've outlasted so many competitors over the decades. When times get tough in construction, the companies that survive are the ones that earned their reputation through actual quality and reliability. The Conkle family did exactly that. Whether you're a homeowner, a remodeling contractor, or a production builder in Orange County, if you're looking for people you can trust to do it right the first time, look no further than California Windows. Dan, Owner -- OCContractor, Inc. read more

California Window and Solar was recommended to us by close friends, who are known to be meticulous and like value for the dollar. They had used the company for a full house window replacement. Their summary of the experience was basically, "You can buy the same Milgard windows for similar prices, but the difference for us was the service provided by this family-run company." She was so right. Our installation team, led by Jacob, was wonderful and efficient. They wore masks because of CoVid, and I felt comfortable having them in the house. They did exactly what they said they would do, covering floors with tarps, moving a heavy bed, taking down and replacing wood blinds. They even tolerated questions by several neighbors. We also should acknowledge Dallas Conkle, who was responsive to all our questions and worked with us to find the products we wanted with price tweaks. The windows are beautiful! Should have done this sooner! read more

We had been experiencing difficulties with other window companies regarding installation of kitchen and master bathroom windows due to shutters being installed inside the casing. Jeff came out and had immediate solutions that would not disrupt the shutters. He also offered solutions for replacement of fixed windows that saved money and resolved a problem in replacing a patio door as well. Needless to say, his staff that did the work was extremely professional and very accommodating. After completion of the work we had a problem with the patio door latch and Jeff came out Saturday on his day off and resolved the problem immediately. I can not say enough positive things about our experience with California Window & Solar. We are extremely happy with the installation of 33 Milgard windows and the patio door. Thanks so much for the great job. read more

I would like to thank California Glass & Window for a great business experience. I had researched multiple window brands prior to selecting Milgard windows. Once I had decided which single hung windows I specifically wanted, I searched to find a business that seemed straightforward and honest, but that also had competitive prices. Needing to purchase over 40 windows, I investigated companies in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties. I chose California Glass & Window and they more than met my expectations. The windows were ordered in stages, I worked specifically with Charles and KC, and was aided by Brittany and then Renee. All of the windows arrived exactly the way I wanted them. Thank you again - the windows look great! I will be back to see you the next time I need a door or window. -John read more

I have remodeled and updated my home several times and have used various companies for cabinets, carpet, painting etc. However, California Window & Solar is far and above the others. The estimator, Jeff, arrived on time, was not pushy, but very helpful with suggestions. He wrote a detailed estimate and explained how the windows and doors would be installed. I cannot say enough about the installation employees. They too arrived on time and did a perfect job installing. The entire crew was friendly and considerate. At the end of the job they cleaned the windows, vacuumed the areas where they worked and haul away the old windows and doors. I am very happy with my beautiful replacement windows and door. My home looks clean and brand-new again. I can't complement this company enough. read more

It was finally time to replace the 40+ year old windows (6) & slider in my upstairs condo. Working with California Window & Solar was a great experience. Jeff went above and beyond to provide all the extra paperwork needed for my two HOA's. He was responsive to all my calls, emails, and many questions about glass options. The price was competitive. Scheduling with Casey was easy. The installation crew (all employees, not subs) was very professional and the quality of work on the trim/finishes was exceptional. One of the screens arrived from Milgard with a minor tear, but the crew put in a work order immediately and came out a week later with the replacement. Most importantly, the windows look fantastic!!! Go with California Window & Solar and you won't be disappointed. read more

I normally don't write reviews. But it seems compelling that I should in this case. California Glass N Window installed our office building's window upgrade. What a great experience! To start, it's a job so well done, there was not one single complaint after it's done-the edges are perfectly smooth; the locks and handles fit and feel extremely well. We didn't have to call them back to fix anything. 2nd, before any work began, their installation manager came personally, explained the whole work process; what to expect when old windows were taken down; what to expect when new ones were put in, etc. The details he went into gave us the confidence that they truly know what they are doing. Their work proves this to be true. I would recommend this company to anyone! read more

I consulted several window companies for the replacement of our damaged vinyl windows, and Dallas truly stood out as the most helpful and honest professional in the field. Our home has approximately 20 windows that have sustained internal damage, and while other companies were quick to suggest retrofit or new construction solutions, Dallas took the time to assess our situation and recommended a repair-focused approach instead. Although this advice may not have secured an immediate sale for Dallas, his integrity and commitment to providing the best solution for our needs have earned him our trust and loyalty as a future client. read more

Perfect! I contacted CWS for a quote to replace 6 windows, after a horrific experience with another window company. Jeff gave me a quote that was fair, and presented in a low pressure, informative manner. I can't conceive how Anderson Windows wants to charge 3x as much. The Simonton windows were installed yesterday in a professional manner that fulfilled my picky expectations....perfect! I have just arranged with CWS to start replacing the remaining 32 windows in the house. It is refreshing to find a contractor that delivers what they promise and at a fair price.....that is why they have been in business for decades. read more

The Milgard windows and doors installed in our home gave it great curb appeal! In addition, it's amazing how much it lowered our energy bill. Jeff, the owner, told me about having the best installers, but I was pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail by the installation team. They were professional and ensured nothing was missed. They worked fast, were clean cut, and spent more than an hour both days cleaning up the work site. Not having a mess was different than my typical experience when having people work on my home. I highly recommend California Glass & Window for window and door replacement. read more

We had a great experience with California Window & Solar from the initial estimate to the clean-up after the installation. We purchased quality Milgard double-pane, energy efficient solid windows to replace the original 40 year old plate glass windows in our Irvine, CA condo. Everyone on their team - our salesperson, the scheduler and installers were extremely professional. We felt we got a great product at a fair price. They beat their estimated delivery time and the installers did an excellent job removing the old windows and replacing them with our new ones. We highly recommend California Window & Solar! read more

I was really impressed with California Windows & Solar. They installed new windows in the upstairs of my home and did a fantastic job. They were great to work with throughout the process. Dallas came to my home to measure and gave me a quote on the spot. The office kept me up to date on the order and installation. The installers were professional, friendly and efficient. They covered all of my floors and and left the house cleaner than when they arrived. I used a different company to install windows in the downstairs of my home and California Windows was far superior. I highly recommend them. read more

From start to finish, everything about California Window & Solar was truly top-notch! They are a company that cares about its customers and does everything possible to make them happy and to ensure an easy and seamless experience. From the owner, Jeff, to each and every worker, they were all amazing! I am so happy that I chose California Window & Solar to replace all the windows in my house! I have only had the new windows for a few days, but we can already feel the difference-- new expensive windows really do help keep out the heat!!! It's a big investment, but totally worth it! read more
