Happy Father’s Day from BM Windows in San Diego!
June is the month in which we celebrate the dads in our lives—either your own dad, the father of your children, or the father figure who was instrumental in shaping your life in one way or another. Traditionally, dads have been the protectors of the home—the heroes. They kill the spiders, fix the things that are broken, and investigate the suspicious noises in the night. What would we do without dads? While dads are good at lots of things, they can’t be experts at all things. So on this Fat … [Read more...]

Studies Show Replacement Windows to be One of the Best Exterior Remodeling Projects
Earlier this year, BM Windows published an e-book, titled Investing in Your Home: Replacement Windows and Doors.

Don’t Let Lead Paint in Your San Diego Home Deter You from Replacing Your Windows
If you live in an older home in San Diego (a home built prior to 1978), chances are, it has lead paint somewhere in it, including the areas around its current windows. You may want to replace the original windows in your home with modern, energy-efficient windows, but are unsure of how to deal with the lead paint. Should you have it removed? Paint over it? Is it best just to leave it alone? Lead paint can be hazardous, but only when it is disturbed, or when it begins to flake or peel, … [Read more...]
