Kevin was awesome from start to finish. Very professional and responsive with the initial estimate to installation in under 1 month. We thought we needed 3 windows replaced, but it turns out Kevin told us we really only needed 1 window replaced, while the airtight seal for 2 of our double pane windows had been compromised and just needed a window glass replacement. This was a much more affordable project thanks to his honesty. We are very happy with the results and works highly recommend Kevin at Efficiency Windows to anyone. read more

They are so easy to work with and super fast like their name states. Definitely calling them over and over again to help us with window and glass work. Thank you Kevin and team! read more

This review is long overdue, Kevin of Efficiency Window replaced all the original (leaking single pane) windows and sliding patio door in our 60s era house in 2017 with Simonton windows. He worked quickly in a tight timeline between us closing on the house and doing necessary repairs, termite fumigation, all before we needed to move in. The windows look great and are so well sealed we have not had any drafts or smoke coming in even during the 2020 wildfires. These windows were an upgrade in appearance as well as energy efficiency. We are very happy with the Simonton windows - which Kevin recommended as maximum glass area for replacement windows, longevity and warranty support - and very happy with Kevin's work! He just came back out to install a replacement screen door on our patio slider under warranty as the latch had broken, and both the manufacturer and Efficiency window took care of this very, well, efficiently! read more

Efficient and very knowledgeable. They were great to work with. Great attention to detail.

Kevin went out of his way to help me with a small and difficult order because our original distributor went out of business. He was very responsive, the price was reasonable and delivery was quick. Really appreciated his time and effort in helping fix a mistake on the original order that wasn't from him! read more

Very very pleased with the job that Kevin did replacing several of my double pane windows. I gave his contact information to a neighbor who wants to replace her single panes windows. read more

Kevin installed two glazed windows in our new home. He really knows this business and he did it efficiently at an affordable price. I'd most definitely use him in a heartbeat again if we need any other windows replaced. Good guy. read more

Another five star review for Kevin and Carlos. :) Kevin and Carlos are not only excellent, fast and careful with the house, but also very knowledgeable of the industry and manufacturers. I learned a lot from them. As for the job. They replaced glass in several windows as well as fixed other problems with windows, which were not even on the list of their services. The biggest replacement was the fogged glass in two patio sliding doors. These were two enormous pieces of glass they had to cary upstairs. Now that it is done, I really feel like I am in a brand new home. It feels amazing! read more

All the five star reviews are for real, and I can say that for sure. Kevin got me set up with new windows and I couldn't be happier with the process. The quote was thorough and more than fair; Kevin is also very receptive to any technical questions and answered every single one I had. What's nice is that there's no run-around; no confusion about why or when or how, it's all up-front and clear. I got competing quotes for the same windows from other places and they didn't even come close! read more

Efficiency Windows just completed the installation of two windows and two sliding glass doors in an older home. Owner and installer Kevin Evulich was fantastic! He is the "window whisperer", a master, and perfectionist! There had been issues with the level on one of the sliding glass doors that Kevin was able to fix. Everything came out beautifully. The price was also very fair compared to competing bids. Excellent value and service! I couldn't be happier! read more

Read all the 5 star reviews here. From my experience they are absolute true! Kevin had great communication and kept to his word on everything. From the initial site visit, to providing the very competitive bid, on ordering the windows, to the install date and actual installation. No surprises. He is a craftsman and the careful installation shows that. He suggested Simonton Daylight Max windows for their thinner frame which was a great choice, they look fantastic! I'm kind of picky, but I was more than satisfied with everything. He has been the one of the easiest and most pleasant person to work with of all the contractors I've hired. read more

Wonderful looking windows, very thorough job with our very wonky house. Pricing reasonable and on the cheaper end of quotes we recieved. I was a little worried there would be a lot of dust but it was minimal. Thanks again read more

The 5-star reviews on this site tell the whole story. Kevin replaced nine windows in our newly purchased home. At our first meeting, Kevin took the time to explain how Simonton vinyl replacement windows would perform and look relative to the original (badly failed aluminum) windows on our property. He walked me through the neighborhood to show his other work and its contrast to other replacement windows and installation methods. He provided an extremely competitive estimate and was able to schedule the job in a timeframe that met our needs. He communicated regularly and clearly throughout the process. When we encountered an unavoidable weather-related schedule change, he kept me closely informed, understood my constraints, and went the extra mile to ensure our project was done on time and within budget. His follow-up communication was clear, and most importantly, the windows are beautiful. Thanks, Kevin. read more

Kevin is a Master at installing Simonton Windows. Contacted him to Replace a broken window in my recently purchased home. Turns out he had done the entire home window replacement 2 years ago. After the window arrived, he was here the same day to replace it. He has a real gift at his craft and is a real professional plus, a nice guy to boot!! Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a warm cozy home improvement!! Kathleen read more

Kevin has replaced a number of very large windows on our house. They look great, the work was done quickly and well, they are great to deal with. Oh, and the price is excellent! I will be using them again!!! read more

Kevin saved us thousands of dollars. Our sliding glass doors weren't closing or locking properly anymore and our usual contractor told us the only solution was replacement. They quoted us about $10k to replace three sliding doors. We called Kevin for a second estimate. He came by on a Saturday and fixed them in minutes, then refused payment. I would trust him with any replacement and can't recommend him enough. read more

Kevin the owner does a meticulous install himself with one long time assistant Vic, Vs those window companies that essentially hire a lot of guys and do it as quickly and cheaply as possible. No house is exactly square. Mine was built in 1956 and Kevin made the Windows fit perfect with excellent finish carpentry on the interior and exterior. I spent extra $$ on dark espresso exterior and it was well worth it. I'm remodeling the house so as of the date of my review its a work in progress , but the Windows look great. Drive by 204 Dimond st. Off walnut, city of Santa Cruz and see for yourself. I got other bids from people I know to do good work. Kevin's bid was very competitive. I requested two changes which I knew added $80. Plus extra labor and time to hand select the redwood trim. I reminded Kevin about the extra $$ and he said just pay the original bid. He totally surprised me by telling me I will receive a $300. Cash card from Simington Windows by submitting an online rebate form he provides. I would never have known about the rebate and I'm sure many less honest installers just pocket the rebate themselves. I have bought many replacement Windows over the last 30 years Pella, Anderson, etc. I can say Simonton brand is as good as any and far better than most. Kevin's a good guy, I will use him again Blaine read more

I called Kevin to get an estimate on replacing 4 windows. Kevin explained that the Windows did not be replaced. The windows came off their spring tracks, which Kevin explained is common with Millard windows. Kevin took each window off and reset them on their track. He wouldn't even let me pay him for his time. I would hire Kevin for any future windows needs. Kevin is the type of contractor you want to work on your house - very honest! read more

Kevin is an absolute gem - he takes pride in his work, really cares about what he does, and we felt that we could trust him to have our best interests when we replaced every window in our home. We have been burned before, and only wish everyone was like Kevin -- look no further if you want someone who is a real pro, a craftsman who knows his stuff and what's best for the particular house, and will take good care of you! We'd work with him again in a heartbeat! read more

Prompt, courteous. Kevin came to give us an estimate to replace 6 windows a year ago. We had just bought this house in Aptos and needed to replace some old windows but were tapped out financially due to the recent close of escrow. We saved for a year and finally called Kevin to complete the work. His fee was higher than the two quotes we had received from other installers but we decided to go with him because of his non pushy attitude, his experience, and his glowing positive reviews from other users. Kevin did a great job installing the vinyl Simonton 7300 Daylight Max. read more

They provided an overall great experience, and I can not think of anyway they could have made it better. 5 stars for the 5 reasons below: 1. Kevin, the owner, is extremely responsive and was helpful during the entire process. 2. We got quotes from 6 other companies, and Kevin's quote (which ended up being the final cost) was considerably lower than the rest, even though the windows he uses are of the same quality as the others. 3. Kevin did the work himself (with an assistant) and it is absolutely gorgeous. 4. I expected such quality work to take an entire day, but it was done in just a few hours, including a great job cleaning up. Besides the beautiful new windows, you wouldn't have even noticed any work had been done. 5. My wife loves the new windows, and I love not having to run the heater nonstop. read more

We had Kevin with Efficiency Windows install our replacement windows a couple of years ago, and couldn't be happier with the results. The original bid was cheaper than the competitors, and the job was clean and professional. We recently did some remodeling in our kitchen and needed to have a trim revision on the window there. Kevin came out and re-trimmed the window and it looks great! I highly recommend this company! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about working with Kevin and Efficiency Windows. From the estimate to the service to the follow-up he is a true professional. Kevin and his team installed nine new windows in my home (including slider) in Pacific Grove. He knew I could not be onsite the whole time so he provided the first estimate over the phone with the dimensions I sent. Then he came onsite (perfectly on time which is tough given traffic) to take measurements and finalize estimate (which came in exactly the same). He was very flexible with his scheduling and even moved the date when I had a work conflict. He installed all the windows in a day and a half. I wasn't able to be there the second day but I had full trust in him to keep things neat and lock things up. They are so clean you would hardly know they were there which is amazing with this type of work. Also, they were so careful you literally can not see any stucco removed on the outside of the house. Every detail was covered. Kevin called to follow-up as well. I'd highly recommend him and his business! read more

We decided to replace six windows and two sliding glass doors on our 60's Santa Cruz home. Based on the positive reviews on yelp, we called Efficiency Windows for an estimate and we are glad we did. Kevin came out, measured everything out and gave us a very competitive bid. He was very straightforward, explaining the whole process. Kevin's craftsmanship is impressive. I tend to be a perfectionist and the best compliment I can pay him is he did the job above and beyond my expectations. To Kevin a sixteenth of an inch is very important. He and his assistant used great care to make sure the windows were plumb and the reveals were precisely matched. Everything was caulked and sealed properly and the area completely cleaned up at the end of the day. The Simonton windows are beautiful and the whole house is nice and cozy now. We have had a number of different contractors work on our house over the past 12 months and I can say that Efficiency Windows was THE top contractor we have hired. A local business where the owner works on the job himself and does excellent quality - it does not get better than that in my book. I've recommended Efficiency Windows to family and friends, you will be very pleased with their work. read more

We needed to replace an old patio door that had a crack in the glass along with a kitchen window. Both overdue but with COVID and finding a reputable place was not sure what service we could get. Even with some doubt before , I can say we are extremely pleased at the service. Kevin made accommodations to get my windows in as did his team. There is a reason for the name Efficiency for this business. Got an estimate, moved forward with Kevin keeping up responses to questions and communicating the schedule. They came in, placed the windows without any fuss and cleaned up the area so couldn't tell anything had been done. Windows are also beautiful and make such a difference. No shoddy work here. If you need window, would recommend this place above others. Big THANK YOU! read more

Good quality job. Also Started and finished on time. Cleaned up after very well. Even helped me replace the rollers on a sliding glass door that he wasn't even replacing! I was dubious about how he could have such great ratings but had him out for an estimate and am glad I did. read more

The owner of the company is absolutely amazing... I'm a tough sell :-) and Kevin explained everything to myself and my husband... very big points in my book !! It seems that most contractors I have had in Santa Cruz don't bother cleaning up their mess. that's why I was so hesitant.... Happy to say that Kevin and his crew cleaned up the area.. it was beautiful.. his pride shows in his work..!. He is actually there for the customer. read more

Wow, what can I say. Kevin replaced my ancient old 1971 windows with new double pane. I had 16 to do all over the house, and some of them were very challenging. He was able to do it all on time, when he said, at the price he promised. One of the sliding doors handle broke a month later, and Kevin came over the same day and replaced. Don't even bother with other companies. KEVIN is the BEST! read more

Kevin did an excellent job on our windows last week! We found him through a referral from our friend's parents. He worked on our friend's parent's windows about 7 years ago and still had the same phone number so we called him up and got a quote. We also got quotes from a few other contractors and all the prices seemed pretty reasonable. We decided to go with Kevin since our friend's parents used him and they liked him. He has been in the window business for a very long time and is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He made the experience very easy for us and we'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for new windows or window repairs. read more

Kevin did such an amazing job on my windows!! I have an old mobile home and had an enormous heating bill due to old single pane windows. I decided to have double pane windows installed. They went above and beyond, even fixing existing damage to the sill. Great quality work, great attention to detail. These guys are very good at what they do! I could not be happier with my new windows. read more

As good as it gets! We have a home in Santa Cruz close to the beach. Sometimes the weather conditions are quite severe and there were problems with leaks. So it was a very important decision to make sure we hired the right person to get the right windows and get them installed efficiently and correctly. We were very fortunate to hire Kevin to replace all the windows in our home. That was two years ago and all the windows work great. There is no leaking at all. What is most impressive about Kevin is that he is matter-of-fact, honest, responsible, experienced, and completely competent. It is so refreshing. He does everything is a very pleasant manner, without any b.s., and the quality and the price are very good. We had three bids and his was the lowest. Our house is a rental property. The tenant we had at that time was a little difficult. We were really worried that any disturbance caused by replacing all the windows would cause the sensitive tenant to complain. Fortunately, even the tenant was impressed by Kevin. He told us Kevin was very thoughtful and diligent. Kevin worked very fast, knew exactly what he is doing, was very professional and thoughtful, and cleaned up every time he left. The tenant felt very comfortable and had no problem letting Kevin work in the home when he was not there. . Now we are adding two new rooms in our home. Naturally, we have hired Kevin again. Remodeling can be very stressful, but not so with our window installation. We know our windows are always in great hands with Kevin. Many thanks!! - Bonnie and Chuck read more

5 stars because not only did they install windows in my whole house, they showed up on the date/time promised! We are doing many home projects and had yet to have ANYONE else show up on the date/time they said they would and I didn't have ANY problems with Kevin. Every time I called or emailed, he responded right away. He also came in at HALF the cost of another company in the area (with materials AND labor). I'll be super honest, he's not a chatty guy, he's not trying to be your best friend, he's here to work, get it done quickly and correctly and ultimately that's what we wanted! I'd call Kevin again for any window needs for me or my family. read more

Kevin installed all new windows and two sliders in our house. From the initial contact to the completion of the project he was a pleasure to work with. He provided excellent advice on technical details such as special coatings for windows with high sun exposure and some cost saving solutions. He quickly provided a fairly priced bid. His workmanship was meticulous, he even could modify and save the stained window trim around the sliders. The entire house was finished in 3 days without much disruption. read more

I've had Kevin put in windows before so I trust his work. If you ordered windows and they arrived, he can put them in quickly. What a difference new windows make. read more

Based on Yelp reviews we contacted Kevin to do our windows and sliders. Kevin did an excellent job. He was clean and the windows look amazing. Only took 2wks from time I called to install. He even helped me move my washer and dryer! Highly recommended!!!! read more

We met the owner, Kevin, at a home & garden show when he saw us at the Home Depot booth. What we liked about him was that it was clear he was not only doing business development but also did the work himself. And the price was pretty good too! :-) Kevin has a hand in installing and, most importantly, finishing every windows that is installed. We got it done in about 2-3 days and he was able to accommodate us by working on the weekend to interleave with our remodeling contractor. read more

I would like to give the highest praise possible to Kevin of Efficiency Window Replacement. He is so ethical, knowledgeable, skilled and honest. He saved us a lot of money compared to the other quotes we were given, and we will definitely call him again if we need help. read more

Kevin is amazing! He was quick, did a GREAT job, and was super awesome to work with. Would recommend him to anyone 100%, and will go to him again if we need other windows replaced. read more

Haven't yelped in awhile but these guys were excellent so hope this is helpful to others. Fair price, good product, on-time, polite, cleaned-up after, and most importantly -- did a very careful and thorough installation. One of my sliding doors was an odd size and they mad it fit beautifully. Am very pleased with the work. read more

I recently purchased a house down by the ocean, and it had older single pane glass. So I checked out several companies within the area, and after reading several contractors, went with Kevin's company efficiency window and glass. This came after reading the reviews here on yelp. To net it all out, very careful, experienced craftsman who just did a sensational job. He was prompt, cleaned up the site every day, and the installation was first class. We went with the simonton windows, with argon gas, double pane and low e. boy what a difference, home is cooler during the day and noticeably quieter. I was amazed We were so impressed with the work and product, that we not only left this review, but also gave him an extra tip. If your replacing windows, this is the guy to use. read more
