For the past several years, our San Diego replacement window company has offered our customers Bayview brand windows as one of our options. Many of our customers loved them because they were high quality, energy efficient, and came with a great warranty. They also came with an affordable price tag. Unfortunately, not too long ago, it was announced that the Bayview line of replacement windows would be discontinued. So, if you came to the BM Windows website looking for Bayview windows, we are sorry to have to tell you that they are no longer available. And just in case you were wondering, there isn’t a warehouse full of discontinued Bayview windows out there that can be purchased at a discount. Replacement windows, including Bayview windows, are made to order, so they really are …

Can I Get Replacement Window Prices Over the Phone?
Let’s talk replacement window prices. We get a lot of calls and emails from potential customers and one of the first things they ask us is, “How much do replacement windows cost?” Usually, they are just asking for a general estimate. They’ll say something like, “I have 15 average-sized windows and a sliding patio door I need replaced. Can you give me a pricing estimate?” Unfortunately, it’s difficult to answer this question over the phone. Sure, we could give a pricing range, but it will be a very large range that won’t be particularly helpful. There are several reasons for this: Every Replacement Window and Door We Sell Is Custom Not every homeowner is aware of this, but there are no “standard” sizes of replacement windows. Therefore, there are no standard prices. When we come to …
Why We’ve Sold Vinyl Replacement Windows in San Diego for More than a Decade
Sometimes we are asked why we only sell vinyl replacement windows in San Diego (windows with vinyl frames). After all, there are other options on the market, such as wood windows, fiberglass windows, aluminum windows, and composite windows. Each of these options has its benefits, but for several important reasons, we have chosen to sell only vinyl replacement windows in San Diego. Energy Efficiency Vinyl replacement windows are some of the most energy-efficient windows on the market. Many homeowners with older San Diego homes are replacing their aluminum windows with new, vinyl windows because they are tired of running their air conditioners all summer and their heaters all night during the winter. Windows with aluminum frames simply don’t keep out the heat and cold well. That’s …
Anlin Windows Warranty: Truly the Best in the Industry
One of the replacement window brands we’ve sold at BM Windows for many years now is Anlin Windows. And one of the reasons why have chosen this brand is because of the excellent product warranty they offer to our San Diego replacement window customers. The Anlin Windows warranty has always been good, but back in 2017, Anlin decided to make it even better. Prior to 2017, Anlin offered homeowners who installed their replacement windows a limited lifetime guarantee—meaning, they covered their products for as long as the original purchaser of their windows and doors owned and occupied their home. In January 2017, Anlin announced their new warranty terms, which changed their warranty to a “True Double Lifetime Limited Warranty.” Here’s a portion of the language in their new warranty: Anlin …
The Cold and Rainy Weather Is Coming to San Diego. Is Your Home Prepared?
Compared to the rest of the country, those of us in San Diego have it pretty easy when it comes to weather. We don’t get snow. The temperatures rarely dip into the freezing range. We don’t even get a lot of precipitation. If someone in the Midwest heard us complaining about the cold, rainy weather in San Diego, they would likely roll their eyes. Despite our relative lack of extreme weather here in San Diego, we do still get some cold nights and rainy days. During those times, you want your home to be as comfortable as possible. One way you can help make your home more comfortable is to have new, energy-efficient windows installed.
