The duration of a window replacement project depends mainly on the complexity of the work. Factors such as the number of windows, their size, the condition of the existing frames, and any structural adjustments can all influence how long the process takes. Simple replacements in accessible areas are usually quicker, while custom installations or older homes may require more time and preparation.

Yes. The City of Anaheim requires a building permit for window replacement when the new windows differ in size, location, or structural framing. If you are replacing windows with the same size and frame, some projects may qualify as “like-for-like replacement” and might not need a full plan review, but a permit is still required to ensure compliance with Title 24 energy codes.

Vinyl windows are more common for homes, they offer better insulation, are energy-efficient, require little maintenance, and are usually more affordable.
Aluminum windows are stronger and more durable for large openings or commercial buildings but conduct heat easily, so they’re less efficient unless thermally improved.

Yes, absolutely. California’s climate and energy costs make energy-efficient windows highly beneficial. They reduce heat gain in summer, retain heat in winter, and help meet California Title 24 and ENERGY STAR® standards. According to the California Energy Commission, homeowners can save up to 30% on heating and cooling costs with properly rated windows.
