California Window & Solar reviews

Tony Gmitruk returned to California Window & Solar after using them at his previous house 12 years earlier, and recently hired them again to fit 20 windows and three French doors in his current home. He appreciated Jeff’s help during the proposal stage—Jeff walked him through several options until they settled on the right combination. During the install he encountered a courteous, professional crew who left the job looking clean and solid; he ended up extremely happy with how the new windows and doors perform and look. One surprise emerged after the work was finished: the Milgard products they used don’t come with pet screens, so he had to arrange those afterward. Bottom line: the team delivered thoughtful guidance and tidy installation, but pet owners should plan to source pet-friendly screens separately.

Terri C. first hired CA Windows on Redhill several years ago, and when a few windows finally needed replacing she turned to them again. She found every touchpoint — sales, administration and the installation crew — consistently knowledgeable, professional and polite. The company stood behind both their products and their work, so the replacements went smoothly and without surprises. What stuck with her was the across-the-board reliability: the same competent people handling every step made calling them an easy choice.

Tom has relied on this family-owned solar company for ten years, first for a system on his home and later for his daughter's house. Over that decade he experienced consistently fast turnaround and a team that answered quickly whenever he needed them. He valued the continuity a family operation brought — familiar faces, prompt replies and dependable follow-through across both properties. What sticks with him after ten years is the steady responsiveness and speed that kept him coming back for two households.

Rich Smith had worked with Brittany for a couple of years while she guided him through product updates and pricing. When he finally pulled the trigger on replacing windows and doors on his home, Brittany and the California Window and Solar installation team mapped out the schedule and delivered exactly what they promised. The new windows and doors look great, operate smoothly, and the crew left the house clean inside and out at the end of each day. He walked away remembering Brittany’s steady attention over time and the installers’ daily cleanup — small details that kept the whole project feeling professional from start to finish.

Alex W. had purchased sliding doors from the company years ago and they’d held up well. When his youngest child broke a handle, he went back to the showroom expecting a long parts order — but a representative offered to contact Milgard and then walked to his truck, dug around, found the exact replacement, and handed it over on the spot. The immediate, hands-on solution — not a promise to call back — made the difference: it felt like someone was genuinely determined to fix the problem. He left with the part in hand and the sense that this will be the first place he visits when he needs another door.

JoAnn A. had new windows and a sliding glass door installed on her home about a year ago and is writing now to express her thanks. She walked away with a finished project she truly loves — the team did a terrific job, and the new windows have become a frequent conversation starter. She still gets so many compliments from neighbors and visitors that she calls the upgrade the single best thing she has done to her house. She specifically thanked Dallas for everything; what lingers most is how visibly the house changed and how often people comment on it.

Karen Carnahan has lived in her house for over 20 years and has hired the company multiple times to replace windows. She wishes she had discovered them sooner. Every time they finished an installation, the new windows transformed the look of the home — consistently impressive, clean work. The whole experience felt professional from start to finish: the owner handled details, the office staff kept things organized, and the installers left sites tidy. What kept her coming back was the combination of that high-quality finished appearance and a team that was genuinely easy to work with.

This homeowner called California Window & Solar back for a follow-up job after a previous positive experience. Justin returned to lead his crew and oversaw the replacement of a back garage utility door that termites had destroyed; importantly, they managed the work without nicking the stucco or foam trim around the opening. The team also replaced a leaky, inoperable double-hung bathroom window and took care to protect the wood and tile floors, leaving the interior spotless when they finished. Dallas handled the measuring, proposals, and contract work again, and the office staff stayed responsive throughout. Because the company is family-run and does not subcontract the work—something that mattered a great deal to them—the homeowner appreciated the continuity and meticulous attention to detail and plans to call the company again if another need arises.

Kathy G. needed new windows and, after seeing good local ratings, reached out to California Window & Solar in Costa Mesa to confirm they served her City of Orange address. She found the phone contact personable and efficient and arranged an appointment for Jeff Conkle to come measure and provide an estimate. Jeff arrived on time, ran through a professional presentation and detailed measurements, and the estimate showed up the next morning — she signed on. The installation crew showed up as scheduled and installed Milgard windows cleanly; when she asked for two sliding screen doors to glide more easily, the team adjusted them on the spot. A year later she called Jeff to replace the last two windows and the whole process repeated with the same smooth timing and attention to detail. The standout: consistent, on-time service that left her with beautiful Milgard windows and no lingering punch-list items.
