Windows & Doors Before & After in Pasadena, CA

We could spend all day telling you about our installation process, the brands we carry, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. None of that lands the way a photo does. A sun-bleached 1960s aluminum slider next to a new impact-rated PGT says more in one glance than a page of copy. Here’s what real window and door work looks like in Pasadena homes, from the first look at the old unit to the final trim detail.

Recent Transformations

Fogged Double-Pane Replacement in Madison Heights

The problem: a picture window over the kitchen sink had a failed seal. Moisture sat between the glass panes, so the view of the San Gabriels looked permanently overcast. We pulled dimensions, ordered an ECO Window Systems double-pane to match the rough opening, and swapped the sash without touching the surrounding stucco. The result is a clear view again, and a window that actually insulates instead of pretending to.

Drafty Aluminum Slider to Impact-Rated Glass in Bungalow Heaven

This 1920s bungalow still had its original single-pane aluminum slider across the back wall. In winter, the dining room dropped five degrees after sundown. The homeowner wanted the same narrow sightlines but modern performance, so we went with PGT impact-rated glass, built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering. We kept the casing profile thin to respect the original architecture. Now the room stays warm, and the slider glides with one finger instead of two hands and a hip check.

Entry Door Replacement with a Therma-Tru in Lower Hastings Ranch

An old hollow-core front door had swollen so badly in summer humidity that it wouldn’t latch without a shoulder. We replaced it with a Therma-Tru fiberglass door with a full weatherstripping kit and a new threshold. Fiberglass won’t warp the way the old wood slab did, and the color is baked into the material, so it won’t peel in the Pasadena sun. The homeowner told us they noticed the hallway stopped heating up by noon the first day.

Floor-to-Ceiling Window Wall Swap in the San Rafael Hills

Mid-century homes up in the hills are all glass, which is great until the seals go on eight panels at once. This job involved removing a full row of fixed and awning windows overlooking the Arroyo, then installing ES Windows frames with Low-E glass to cut the afternoon glare without tinting the view. We coordinated with the homeowner’s stucco contractor so the new flashings tied in clean. The house finally holds a temperature, and the windows no longer sweat during June gloom.

Broken Crank-Out Casement Replaced in Chapman Woods

A casement window over a side garden bed had a stripped crank mechanism and a cracked pane from a wayward palm frond. The old wood frame was still square, which saved us from a full rough-opening tear-out. We installed a CWS casement with a new crank assembly and stainless hardware, matched the exterior paint line, and re-caulked the entire surround. The owner can now open the window one-handed for morning air without a wrench.

Patio Door That Wouldn’t Roll, Replaced in South Pasadena Adjacent

A 30-year-old aluminum patio door had worn rollers, a bent track, and a frame so out of square that the dog had learned to nudge it open with his nose. We pulled it, corrected the rough opening, and set a ViewLux sliding door with tempered glass and a low-profile track. It closes flush now, which means no more ants in July, and the lock actually engages without a deadbolt wrestling match.
