My custom Iron front door has had problems since we bought our home 7 years ago. I have had multiple people come to fix the door and had zero success so I gave up awhile until I found Premier One. David had me send him photos of the door and he immediately knew what the problem was and how to fix it. He was very punctual and polite and explained what he needed to do to fix the door right there on sight he had all of the necessary tools. After the front door was fixed I asked David if he could fix my yard gate which had a different problem...it had dropped and was not closing. He also had tools required and fixed that too. He is an expert and I highly recommend this company .

Original 1969 front door with security screen replaced by Premier One iron glass door (screen included).

I had a great experience with Premier One. David came out for the estimate and he was honest, upfront, and transparent. We ordered an iron/glass front door that was in very high demand last year. I know because I had other estimates. David told us there could be a 6 month wait due to shipping delays. I was contacted after 2 months with an update that our door was still in process & timeline for delivery & install was still several months away. After 4 months of ordering the door, it finally arrived. It was 2 months sooner than expected. The installers (Jon & Hugo) were awesome. They were courteous & professional. I waited to write this review after all the CA storms passed to make sure there were no issues with leaking or gaps. There are none. I am extremely happy & grateful that I chose Premier One to purchase our door. Other companies over promise & under deliver, but that wasn't my experience here. Look at my before & after pictures! It transformed our entryway & added extra security. I think this door will outlive me. It is solid & secure.

Bubbling of paint.  This isn't even the worst of it.

Buyer Beware!!!! Please Read I'd like to share my experience with David and his company, as he seemed like an honest, reliable and trustworthy business owner. We signed our contract on 5/13/2021 to get custom made double Dutch doors with sand blast glass. It was 10-20 weeks for doors to be made and installation. We didn't get our doors installed till 2/16/2022 because of the wood shortage and it was stuck in the port? Supposedly it came from Oregon?? Weird. The trim for the door didn't fit for the inside and outside. (David came and did all the measurements). On 3/24/2022 they came back to put on the trim for completion. Finally done. All was well till August of that year. 5 months after install I noticed some bubbles appearing in the lower left corner of the frontside of doors. I gave it a couple weeks to see what was happening and they started getting larger and spreading. I called David 9/27/23, told him what was going on. His immediate response was cat urine. (We don't have a cat.) He checked with his painter ( I sent pictures of all the spots) and painter said something was applied and it was a reaction. (Nothing was applied to the door). I asked him to make it right and repaint it. Called again as it was spreading more along the bottom and over to the other door. His answer, same as before: a cat peed on the door or I sprayed something on it. It then started spreading upwards and on to the upper doors. I called about 5 times, all he did was make excuses...referring to cat urine or something sprayed. I gave him many opportunities to fix it, he mentioned his painter couldn't do it because he has bad knees and can't get down low to the ground. He never came to look at the door, I sent him many pictures, texts and called him..... in the end he just brushed me off hoping I'd go away taking no responsibility for his product and the workmanship. I took matters into my own hands and filed a complaint with the California Contractors State License Board on 11/14/2022. It was accepted. When David got notice of this he texted me asking "How can I help you?". He texted this in the same thread of all the pictures and texts I sent with his blaming me and making excuses........Now he was playing dumb. I then filed a complaint against his bond on 1/2/2023 with Markel Surety. I was informed there were 4 complaints ahead of me. (If I knew about this and looked up the company and found this I WOULD. NEVER HAVE HIRED THEM!). The bond company accepted my complaint...as the year went on it was 3 complaints, then 1 (finally) by September. When the bond company sent out their expert, David tried all he could to discount the contractors knowledge and expertise, almost arguing back and taking no accountability for his product and the workmanship. This same contractor found other issues I didn't even notice. The nails in the wood trim were not caulked which could allow moisture in. There were large cavities behind the bottom trim of both sides that should have been filled with foam, AND the bottom of this wood trim was raw wood, not painted..which could be an issue with moisture entering. The expert contractor, 2 architects and 3 professional painters all said the same thing: the door wasn't primed properly or didn't dry thoroughly, causing the bubbling. The door was getting worse, all we wanted was for it to be corrected by being repainted. The bond company told us we could repaint it (since it was taking such a long time) and we would POSSIBLY be reimbursed from the bond IF there was still money left after the complaints ahead of us were settled. (Frustrating). We had it repainted. Literally the next day the Contactors board investigator told me she wanted to send a specialist out to examine the door. I told her it was just painted. She called David. 3 days later I received a check from him reimbursing us for the paint. How ironic! The case with the contractors board was then closed and so was the bond. It took a lot of time and effort on my part for all of this when it should have been dealt with from the beginning! Buyer Beware!

Dave Martinez was great, doors took a while to build but we LOVE them. All my neighbors love them. Install guys were great & very clean! I love these doors also b/c the glass part opens from the inside and has screens to let air in!

This is the after. So beautiful. Wish you could see the before. Not even close to this gorgeous.

We just had a front door installed and ordered by Premier One Doors and Windows. And it look AMAZING!! Not only was David Martinez a very nice person to work with, he made great suggestions that we are glad we went with. Also, Lisa who calls and let's you know that the door is in and ready to install, kept me posted on anything that was coming up. They actually wanted to install the door a couple of weeks ago but because I was in charge of our 40th high school reunion, and things were really hectic and they were nice enough to schedule a later date for me. So glad I waited. Then they said they would be there between 9-10 on Wednesday. They came at 9:20 and that was perfect. Lisa also called the night before to remind me and so glad she did. Guillermo came to install with his dad Guillermo and his brother Stephan. They were the nicest and cleanest workers I have ever had. They left the place looking cleaner then when they came. And a pleasure to have at my home. The door looks amazing. See the photo I put on this review. I forgot to take a before pic but I am going to have Lisa send me that one and I will post a before pic. But the after is beautiful. Thanks Premier One. So glad we saw you at the home and garden show. Great job.

See all

Love this company!…read more SoCal Window Pros is an exceptional company. As a family-owned business, they care about their customers, and it showed at every step of our project. We met with several contractors before deciding, and David from SoCal Window Pros stood above the pack. He was straightforward, personable, and very knowledgeable. He didn't overwhelm us with options. He presented only the best retrofit window on the market, and the company stands firmly behind it. David was thorough and patient, and he took the time to help us choose the right windows for our home. His recommendation was spot on. Alex, our Project Manager, was just as impressive. Our installation was scheduled on a day with rain in the forecast, and I was understandably nervous. Alex took the time to walk me through the plan and calm my concerns. He assured me his crew were professionals who would have every window closed in before the rain arrived. They did exactly that. We replaced 26 windows, so this was no small feat, and his team delivered right on schedule. The results speak for themselves. Our new windows are beautiful and have made a real difference in our home. Our experience with SoCal Window Pros was nothing short of spectacular, and they have earned a gold star. If you need your windows replaced, don't hesitate. Give David a call. He'll give you the best education on windows you'll find anywhere, and his team will do the job right. I recommend SoCal Window Pros 100%.

They helped me understand my options so I could choose what would work best for me. They nailed it! The service was incredible, fast, and the value far exceeded the cost. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone looking for a new window in the SoCal area.

We had such a wonderful experience with Legendary CALREP Windows and Doors!…read moreYears after having vinyl windows installed throughout our home, one of our picture windows lost its seal and became cloudy, and the small window in our bathroom cracked. The original installer was no longer in business, and every company I called wanted to inspect all our windows and give me a sales presentation. I knew exactly what I needed. I only needed two windows to be replaced! Then I called Legendary CALREP. They listened, were prompt to arrive and very professional. They honored our wishes, measured the two windows, and gave us a reasonable quote--no full-home inspection and no sales pitch. A few weeks later, the new windows were installed, and I could finally open the shutters and see my garden again! I would definitely recommend Legendary CALREP for any window or door needs!

I wanted to provide an update to my original review. After sharing my experience on social media,…read morethe owner reached out to me personally, and I truly appreciate the time and attention he has given to resolving our long-standing issue. Since then, communication has been excellent, and the company has replaced our staircase window once again. We are grateful for their responsiveness and willingness to continue working toward a solution. At this point, we are hopeful that the problem has finally been resolved. Because the leak only occurs during heavy rain, we'll need to wait for the next storm to know for sure. If the window performs as it should, I will be more than happy to update my review again to reflect a successful resolution. Thank you to the owner and the team for listening to our concerns and for making the effort to restore our confidence. We are optimistic that this will finally put this six-year issue behind us.

We needed one custom window made for a kitchen remodel, and California Replacement Windows was one…read moreof the only companies that would let us buy just one window. All other windows in the house had been replaced previously, and most companies had a minimum order quantity that didn't make sense for our project, or had long lead times that would have been problematic for the timeline of our project. The sales rep Tim was on time to his appointment, quickly assessed and measured the window, and got the process started. He was readily available for updates, and the window was available very quickly! The install was done well and matches the other windows in our house. We are VERY happy with Cal Replacement windows and will definitely use them again in the future for any other windows we might need.

Poor warranty service! They do not stand by the product! I…read morehad all new Milgard windows installed in my home in the 2003-2004 timeframe. The initial installation went well. Milgard offers a lifetime warranty on their windows. Speed ahead to 2026... Some of my Milgard windows began to fog and show drip marks between the panes. I called California Replacement Windows (they were an authorized Milgard dealer) to replace them per the warranty. I couldn't get anyone to answer and I called several times after that. No return calls even after voicemail. My wife also called several times....Nothing! I wrote to them using the email provided on their website and no response! I don't know if this company was sold or merged with another company, but based on this experience, I would never buy replacement windows from California Replacement Windows because they don't support their products. I am not dissatisfied with Milgard. Their product lasted 23 years before I needed service. I found Milgard's website and completed a warranty service request, and they scheduled an appointment and soon after replaced my windows completely free of charge.
