Are Anlin Windows Good Replacement Windows for San Diego Homes?

As you start your search for the best replacement windows for your San Diego home, you may come across some brand names you haven’t heard of before. Most people know about window brands like Milgard, Simonton, Pella, and Jeld-Wen. This is because these manufacturers advertise their products heavily in the media and online, and also because they are sold in retail stores throughout San Diego, so you inevitably see their displays as you roam the aisles of San Diego home improvement stores. But as you start to research replacement windows in earnest, there is another brand of windows that tends to come up—Anlin.

Anlin is a brand of replacement windows that we at BM Windows have sold in San Diego for many years. This particular manufacturer has been recognized in the window industry as one that produces high-quality, cutting-edge, and energy-efficient products for decades! So why are you just now hearing about them?

First of all, Anlin is a regional company, operating mainly in the western part of the United States. So, if you moved to San Diego from another part of the country, you wouldn’t have been exposed to this brand. Second, Anlin doesn’t spend the marketing dollars that many of their larger competitors do. Their advertising is more targeted. You may see their ads in specialty home improvement magazines, but you likely won’t see their commercials on major television networks, for example.

Finally, Anlin’s windows and doors aren’t sold in retail stores. Instead, they are sold by authorized dealers that also offer professional window and door installation services (like BM Windows). Anlin doesn’t want to take the risk of having their products’ reputation ruined because they were installed by DIYers or contractors who have never installed replacement windows before. They want to ensure that their windows deliver the performance that is promised, and that requires the windows to be installed by people who are highly trained and experienced in window installation.

In order to be approved to sell and install Anlin products, a company has to go through a rigorous approval process, and then go through Anlin’s installation training. That’s why you’ll only find Anlin windows and doors at a select few San Diego replacement window companies.

We highly recommend Anlin products to our San Diego customers. They come standard with many great features, so you don’t have to pay for any upgrades in order to get great replacement windows. However, if you’re looking for the highest performance possible in terms of energy efficiency, sound suppression, and security, there are some upgrades you may want to consider. There are also style upgrades that some homeowners choose, such as colored window frames or decorative grids. At your in-home appointment, we can discuss these options, but don’t worry, we will never try to pressure you into paying for upgrades you don’t need or want!
