Dan -- OCContractor, Inc., Orange County, CA My relationship with the Conkle family goes back over 45 years. Long before fax machines, pagers, cell phones, or the internet, I was driving out to their location on Katella Avenue in Cypress to place orders in person, grabbing lunch at the little Chinese restaurant next door before heading back to the job site. That's how far back we go. Over the years I worked closely with Victor Conkle, and watching this family business grow has been something special. Today, Dallas and Jeff Conkle are running California Windows, and they have taken everything that was built before them and grown it into the most reliable, knowledgeable, and trusted window and door company in Orange County. In all that time, one thing has never changed: the Conkle family and their team are simply the best in the business. The consultation, the measurements, the product selection, the installation every step is handled with a level of professionalism and precision that is genuinely hard to find. Installations are as close to perfect as anything I've seen in this industry. There's a reason they've outlasted so many competitors over the decades. When times get tough in construction, the companies that survive are the ones that earned their reputation through actual quality and reliability. The Conkle family did exactly that. Whether you're a homeowner, a remodeling contractor, or a production builder in Orange County, if you're looking for people you can trust to do it right the first time, look no further than California Windows.

Jacob and his team were alway on time, cleaned up afterward. Great quality and price.

My California Windows experience from the initial design consultation, installation, and final product has been seamless, and I would recommend them with full confidence that your experience will be the same. The installation crew was exceptional, communicative, and very clean. We converted French doors to a large picture window that required exceptional design expertise. I give them 100%! read more

California Windows was fantastic. Justin was very quick, efficient with friendly service.

Jeff and his team have been absolutely amazing! We can't say enough about them. We consulted with 6 other companies and Jeff was by far superseded our expectations. He was also willing to work with us on the price, which we are so incredibly grateful for. He never once tried to upsell us and was upfront and honest from the beginning, which speaks to the confidence in his products as well as the quality of their work. His team took 2 days to complete the installs and were incredibly hardworking and respectful- honestly just a really good group of guys. We were so impressed with them from beginning to end. Jess had also been SO responsive and gets back to you right away. We needed them to fix a part of the screens week later and he sent one of his guys over right away to fix it. We highly highly highly recommend California window and solar! You will not be disappointed! read more

Extremely happy with my new Milgard windows and especially with California Window and Solar! I had 3 windows, 1 slider and 1 garden window replaced. Very pleased that I upgraded the screens to the Pureview mesh which per the brochure "allows for clearer views and better particle protection". I would break it down as the following: Competence - Justin, Miles and Nate were great! Within 1 day all the windows were in place, including the challenging garden window. Josh came out for an assist with the garden window and 4 smart brains collaborated and showed great teamwork in getting it in place just right (no small feat!). Cleanliness - Tarps were laid throughout the house to keep the debris to a minimum. Any extra debris was swept up inside and out including in the street. Integrity - Justin pointed out that he noticed some etching on one of the windows. He indicated they would reach out to Milgard to get it replaced. It could have been so easy for them to simply leave and hope we didn't notice, but they did not. Class act! read more

California Windows - Garden window done as a retrofit to make my association happy! - Windows Installation Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I used CA Windows on Redhill several years ago and when it was time to replace some windows we called them again. This is a great local company -- from sales to admin to installation, they are all knowledgeable, professional and polite. They stand behind their products and their work. I highly recommend them. read more

Jeff and the skilled teams that worked on changing out the windows to our house were great to work with and did an excellent job.

We realized that before we can think about retiring, there were some major improvements that our home needed, including new windows and doors. On a recommendation from good friends of ours whom we trust, we contacted California Window and Solar for an estimate, met with Jeff Conkle, who carefully explained options and pricing . We like what we heard, and decided to go with them. Their install team led by Justin, came out for 3 days, worked their butts off, kept all areas clean and got it all done as proposed. We couldn't be happier. The whole experience, from meeting Jeff, to going to their showroom to view the actual windows, to the install, to the follow up with Jeff afterwards....needless to say our needs with met, and then some. I'd happily recommend anyone to contact them if you are in need of new windows. read more

Amazing company. I have been using them for 10 years for my home and my daughter's home. Family owned great turn around. Very responsive.

It was time to replace our super old aluminum windows so we turned to Yelp for help. We had a good idea that we wanted Milgard for their amazing warranty, so we reached out to California Wind & Solar. They invited us to their showroom where we were able to see, touch and feel the various options. Then we scheduled Dallas to come out and measure and provide a quote. We were pleasantly surprised by how how reasonable the quote was. The windows are made to order so we had a bit of a wait for them to come in. When they did they scheduled our install. I can't say enough about how professional this crew was. in a day and half they had our entire house done. They weren't happy about how the new slider door's screen fit and said they wanted to replace it. The issue was so minor, but they are perfectionists. They ordered a new one and two weeks later sent out one of their pros to replace it. We LOVE our new windows and are so pleased with California Wind & Solar for making them a reality. read more

I just remodeled my entire house and this was by far the best experience with a contractor. Jeff and his team go above and beyond expectations. They provided clear, consistent, professional and timely communication. The finished product is beautiful and the process was smooth. Most importantly, the team is trustworthy and pointed out any defects during installation, scheduling replacements immediately without us having to ask or go through a frustrating process. Their goal is absolutely customer satisfaction and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for new windows. read more

Chad was very responsive. They did not do the type of work I was looking for (mirrored closet doors), but Chad took the time to call back and recommend someone that might be able to assist. I would definately call them when I need their services! read more

Dallas was very responsive, came over and did measurements for replacing our old aluminum windows. He also explained in detail some changes he recommended, like where safety glass should be used, and how some windows should open differently. In less than a day he came back with a competitive quote for Milgard windows. Very impressed with the level of service this company provides! read more

From start to finish, everything about California Window & Solar was truly top-notch! They are a company that cares about its customers and does everything possible to make them happy and to ensure an easy and seamless experience. From the owner, Jeff, to each and every worker, they were all amazing! I am so happy that I chose California Window & Solar to replace all the windows in my house! I have only had the new windows for a few days, but we can already feel the difference-- new expensive windows really do help keep out the heat!!! It's a big investment, but totally worth it! read more

California Window & Solar has been very professional in all my interactions with them. I received quotes from two other companies. Their quotes were comparable on the standard products and more competitive on some individual services that I needed. They did a great job cutting my granite and in repairing the stucco in order to replace my garden window. The crew did a great job cleaning up after they finished. Installation went well and I love my new windows! read more

We had our windows and slider put in about a year ago and I'm just now getting the chance to thank them. You all did a terrific job and we love the windows! We get so many compliments and we feel like this was the single best thing we ever did to our home! Thanks Dallas for everything! read more

We were so pleased to finally change our entry door way to home to an original 2 door way entry. We had them changed years ago to a 1 door which was not pleasing to the eye and or moving items in the house for big deliveries. We decided with 2 door entry way and was able to customize the look which was satisfactory with our needs. We were so excited to get new doors and were pleased with the outcome. We even have had compliments on our choice of design. We definitely are pleased and happy we went back to California Window & Solar for our doors. Not only did we feel good about our choices, we had a great team from Sales, to installers to the inspection. The service, quality of product and the knowledge the crew has with the windows and door is another reason why we chose this family owned business. Thank you again, Dallas, Josh, KC & your installation crew!!! read more

What a wonderful experience we have had with California Window and Solar. We purchased our home about 2 years ago and the previous owners had use this company to do the upstairs windows so when we knew we need to replace the first floor we called them. Prior to meeting with California Window and Solar we tried another company and they were crooks. Trying to convince us we needed something more than we did. Dallas was amazing to work with and walked us through all the possible scenarios to meet our needs and budget. The installation was seamless and could not be happier with the work and product. Any more window or door needs we know who we will be calling. Thank you to Dallas and his team for making us so happy! read more

Beyond thrilled with our new windows and door! Thank you Jeff, Justin and associates... From start to finish, the process was so smooth. California Window & Solar are the best in the business. Highly recommend; wish I could give 10 stars! read more

Amazing experience from the moment we met Brittany in our home to go over the process of replacing 8 windows. She was kind, very knowledgeable, and professional. This company is Top Notch. Brittany and Dallas came out to do measurements - on time and a very easy process for us. We received excellent service - installation was quick (great job at cleaning up as well) and superb follow up after- calls and emails to make sure we were 100% satisfied. - when in fact we were 110% satisfied. Could not have been more pleased. Our Milgard Windows look absolutely amazing- beautiful and crystal clear. Prices were great. What makes California Windows and Solar stand out the most is their exceptional service! We checked with 3 companies for comparison - and the moment we met Brittany - we knew this was the company for the job. I will be recommending this company to everyone I know. read more

Great experience from start to finish! Shout out to Brittany who was wonderful throughout the whole process. : ) Installation was several days for our size job and Jake and his team were absolutely great! They were so pleasant to be around and very professional. They paid great attention to detail. Each day they left our place and work areas clean as if they had never been there. The windows are beautiful and we immediately noticed the difference with keeping our house cool and quiet. We highly recommend California Window & Solar! read more

Super professional, organized and courteous! Had a couple companies come out for quotes and Jeff wasn't the cheapest but he mentioned things that the others didn't. That helped make my decision pretty quick. When the installers came to put the windows & doors in, Jake introduced himself to me and so did the other 2 that were with him. Jake then took the time to go over the game plan for that day and the same procedure on the next day. They cleaned up and dusted the areas they were working in and left my place looking good with the new windows and sliders read more

We had an excellent experience. The sales and installation processes were top notch. Everything went as expected - no surprises. Very professional. read more

We just replaced all of the windows in our home (20 windows!!). Everyone at CA Window and Solar were professional and very friendly. Windows are a big investment, and we just were not sure if we were ready to take the plunge. Dallas was easy to work with and had no problem with doing our windows in multiple phases. As soon as we finished phase 1 (all of our south facing windows) we immedialty ordered the windows for the rest of the house. Yesterday we finished phase 2 and my neighbors have stopped me on the street to tell me how great the windows look! The new windows are the highest quality Milgard windows available, and my house looks grown up and sophisticated inside and out. The installation crew was extremly professional, pleasant, and clean. There was a touch of construction that had to be done on one window, and they took care of all of the finishing work, new sill and stucco, I didn't have to hire any sub contractors, they took care of everything. I couldn't be more pleased with thier work and the quality of the windows themselves. Being a small family business, everyone was easy to communicate with, and everyone knew the status of my order at all times. Every step of the process I felt well taken care of. Truly a great experience, a great product and worth every penny. read more

I'd definitely use them again. This is a family business, which is always a plus. They take great care in every step of the process from getting an in home estimate through the install. Two people did the install, which included a family member. He was doing my install at the same time he and his family were evacuated due to the fires. He didn't know if his house would be ok! If it was me, I be curled up somewhere in a ball. He was so professional. Need I say more? read more

The process was very smooth, order placed, installed when available, installers kept the place clean and did a great job with the windows, which are keeping my place quieter and cooler during the summer. Everything went as expected and it was a great company to work with. read more

I would use NO ONE else! I just had another set of windows installed. This company is very reliable. Jeff is honest and makes great suggestions. His team is courteous and kind, from the office staff to installers. They are very caring of your property....inside and out! Always a great experience from the estimates, follow up and installation. read more

I needed 8 windows replaced in my home and after 6 frustrating weeks of dealing with flaky, overpriced contractors I finally found California Window and Solar. I started my search by getting referrals from the window department at Ganahl Lumber. The problem with this approach was that less than half of the contractors that came out to look at the job ever bothered to send me their promised quote, and if they did, they were too expensive and overly complicated. Then I got smart and went on the Milgard Window website. That's how I found California Window and Solar, what a difference! Their sales consultant, Dallas Conkle, came out, looked at the job and assured me that the installation would not be complicated, unusual or difficult for them. Everything they did was completely professional in every aspect, including a bit of finish carpentry work around the interior of my kitchen window, exterior wood trim around several other windows and exterior stucco work also around the kitchen window. And they did all this in ONE DAY and get this; I had one contractor tell me this would be a 3 week job!! read more

UPDATE: California Window & Solar just did another wonderful job for us. Justin was back leading his team. This time they replaced a back garage utility door that had been destroyed by termites. To my relief, just like in the previous job, they did not damage the stucco or foam trim. They also replaced a leaky, inoperable double hung bathroom window. Once again their work was meticulous. They protected the wood and tile floors and left our home spotless. Dallas did another great job measuring and handling the proposals and contract. The office staff was awesome again too. We once again very highly recommend this family-run company (that doesn't sub out the work, which is very important to us) and will not hesitate to call them again should the need arise. read more

We needed new windows and I read good ratings for California Window & Solar in Costa Mesa. I contacted them to see if they serviced the City of Orange, and they did. The phone contact person was personable and efficient.....she set an appointment for Jeff Conkle to visit, measure and provide an estimate. Jeff showed up on time, and did a very professional presentation and measurement of our windows. I had the estimate early the next day, and we were sold. The installation team showed up on time and did a great job of installation. When they were finished, I wanted the 2 slider screen doors to slide more easily. They were able to fix that for us right away. In fact, a year later, we needed to go ahead and replace the last 2 windows and I called to schedule with Jeff again - and just like the previous time, everything went like clockwork. We LOVE our beautiful Milgard windows - they are fabulous. I can recommend this outfit without reservation. It's one of the few upgrades we made to our home that went seamlessly. Thank you CA Window & Solar! read more

I'm so thankful we chose these guys to replace all of our doors and windows. Our whole house had a major flood - of all of the vendors/contractors we had to use for a six month reconstruction, CA Window and Solar was the ONLY one with whom we had ZERO issues. They did what they said they'd do, every time, with no delays. The products, and the people, exceeded our expectations. The crews were polite, professional, perfectionists. And have even come back out to make adjustments. The sales person was not pushy at all; he was more like an expert just sharing his advice. He worked with us to configure exactly what we wanted, even when we wanted was a little out of the norm. We got exactly what we wanted and found the pricing to be very fair. In fact, it's all proving to be worth every penny. Obviously, I cannot recommend this business enough. read more

Thanks Chad for showing us the many windows and doors in your showroom. There is a lot of information to cover and you did a great job explaining the differences between the various products. We really appreciated your service and attention to detail. Thank you! read more

Clear sailing from start to finish! We're one of those homeowners who 'generally' go by word of mouth rather than just online reviews when looking for a contracted service. The one exception is Yelp where I feel you're going to get as close to an objective review online as is possible. We used both in finding our window/door replacement company. In finally redoing the bulk of our windows and major door leading outside in our two story home in Mission Viejo, several of our neighbors up and down the street had used California Window and Solar and were very happy with them. I checked out Yelp and found almost all reviews to be extremely positive so I gave them a call. Dallas, one of the family of owners (great guy) came out promptly and gave us a no pressure presentation along with suggestions we hadn't thought of which we worked into the final proposal. We can't comment on how competitive they were (price wise) because the final 'out the door bottom line price' he gave us was very fair to our way of thinking, verifying what others have said in terms of them being reasonable and especially compared to what I was expecting. In other words, our search stopped then and there and we signed the contract. Again, no pressure whatsoever. Now, as to installation. Keep in mind, your windows and doors are custom made and aren't necessarily going to be ready in a week, however, as with all good things, they're worth waiting for. Once the installation started, in two days everything was done perfectly, including cleanup by a most pleasant crew. Our home was then transformed into this century. read more

This review is not about the windows or the installation because ultimately I did not purchase from California Window & Solar. This review is about the way they treat their prospective customers. Dallas came out a couple of weeks ago to give me a quote on some Milgard windows. He was early, but waited in his truck until the appointment time so as not to disturb me. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and he was obviously very knowledgeable about the product and the process. He got me the quote the very next day and he answered my emailed questions and quote changes within a few hours. I was absolutely impressed by his professionalism and I really wanted to work with his company, however, I also really wanted the Anlin Del Mar windows and wound up going with another company that installs them. If you're looking for outstanding customer service and professionalism, (and Milgard windows =), give these guys a call. read more

We recently had 3 Windows and a Slider door replaced by CW&S, it was nothing but extreme professionalism from the start. Dallas came out and gave us an estimate, came back a second time as we were going to add more windows to the initial estimate. We needed up not getting all the windows we wanted to replace for financial reason and Dallas was very understanding. The crew (I'm bad with names) came out and laid down tarps all along walking and work areas, they explained the work again and went right to work. The crew promptly finished and cleaned up any mess they had made. I will be calling CW&S for more windows installations in the near future!! read more

We love our new front door purchased from and installed by CA Window and Solar. The cost of the door and installation was reasonable. Dallas handled the door order and Josh and his team performed a superb installation job. We needed to replace a termite damaged front door and door jamb that provided no insulation. I'm happy with the results and glad we chose a family-owned and operated business. read more

This company has amazing customer service. We purchased our sliding doors from them years ago (which have been awesome). Our youngest kid finally broke one of the handles. We went back to the showroom and not only did they offer to contact Milgard about the replacement part, one of the representatives went to his truck to see what he might have, found the part we needed, and gave it to us! WOW. You just don't get this kind of caring customer service at most places - it felt like they really wanted to help us solve our problem, and they did. We will be back next time we need a door! read more

We had a great experience working with California Window & Solar. Jeff came out and provided the quote very quickly, was prompt, professional, and very nice. We wanted to replace our back double french doors with a sliding glass door and screen, and feel we got a great value for the quality of Milgard Trinsic series door, plus the installers did a great job. The crew of 3 were very professional, wore their masks the whole time (corona times here...), and kept a very clean worksite. The job looks amazing and would highly recommend them to everyone. read more

This family owned company will satisfy every wish you have regarding new windows giving you professional service, personal attention, and they are just good people (the kind you would like for your neighbor). Jeff took care of every detail and every need. read more
