This is an awesome company! Jim and his staff have done an excellent job of replacing windows and patio doors in our house. I was delighted with how neat, quick and clean everything was done. They even vacuumed everything outside, not to mention the rooms in the house! The stucco has also been completely restored to its original form. And thanks to Robin who was very attentive, helpful in finding the right windows and organizing everything properly. Thanks a lot Robin and Jim!

Excellent from start to finish. Amazing customer service. Jim (owner/installer) noticed a slight blemish on a part of the door when Inspecting in the shop. I would NEVER have noticed. He called Milgard & ordered the replacement piece which didn't arrive before installation. I was given the option to have the install or wait for the replacement & reschedule or have the Milgard service team replace. maybe a week later AT MY CONVENIENCE!

I never ever would have noticed if Jim hadn't showed me. Robin was so helpful in the shopping part - I had no idea what to ask. Turns out I didn't need to know. she anticipated my needs. I am quite indecisive - she made it so easy. Ruben came with Jim to install - all during COVID - they were fully prepared. I am thrilled to say the least!

If you need new French doors installed the best place to go is Almaden Window and door. Robin and her family have a first class business. They are very honest, friendly and willing to help you. Robin is amazing. She is knowledgeable about her business, she goes above and beyond to insure you are happy with her product. She makes great recommendations to insure that you are happy and satisfied.

The price is reasonable, the service outstanding, and best of all you can trust them. They are the best # 1. Day after our installation Robin sent us a card thanking us for the business and letting us know they are here to help. I am happy to recommend the best window and door installation company in the Bay Area. Lawrence and Carol Dauch San Jose

We have had a number of windows done by Almaden Window and Door over the years. Always great work, reasonable price, on time, and clean. Our neighbors have used them and have said the same thing. I do want to call out to Robin and how she went above and beyond in helping us coordinate another service needed. I asked for help because they had great people working there, she came through with flying colors. This is the way they handle customers, they solve problems and are not just about the transaction. I cannot recommend them enough.

Easy. Peasey. Chose AWD based on their location (S. San Jose) and positive Yelp reviews. Very glad we did. Needed to replace a faulty sliding glass door with a comparable new construction Milguard unit. Robin spent quality time with me and my wife in AWD's small (but comprehensive) showroom, patiently going over the various alternatives, and making recommendations based on our needs, preferences and budget. Installation date was set and met by Jim (and Ruben?).

The removal/installation/cleanup was thorough and professional. Finally, AWD subsequently sent a third-party contractor who did a quality finishing job by stuccoing outside around the new door. Highly recommended! Will definitely use AWD again if we need any window or door replaced.

I bought three windows and one sliding glass door from AWD. Robin is so knowledgeable about their products, she knew exactly what I needed. Robin is the best home improvement store owner that I have ever dealt with. Ruben installed the the three windows. He is a master craftsman. Jim and Ruben installed the sliding glass door. It looks great! I highly recommend AWD.

Just completed my second fairly major project with AWD, and it was just as great as the first one (6 years ago)! This one was smaller in scope than the first one -- 2 windows and one slider, as opposed to a house full of windows + 2 sliders -- but much more complex because it required jumping through a lot of hoops set by the residence's HOA. Robin (in the office) was fabulous again, and Jim's work is absolutely top-notch. It looks amazing, it passed city and HOA muster, and I will absolutely be using AWD for any window-replacement needs in future. Thanks again, guys!

I used this company several years ago to install new windows. The windows still look great and I recommend them. Robin was very friendly and very responsive. The people that installed the windows were also very nice people. I especially appreciate the way they treated my home. They were thorough in protecting my things and covering the floors so there was absolutely no mess when they were done.

We recently replaced our single pained windows and sliding door. My neighbor really shopped around, got prices and looked at various window and door companies. He said that Almaden Window & Door was by far the best bet. He was absolutely right. Everyone we dealt with was polite, efficient and they were very neat while they worked and cleaned up really well after they worked.

I highly recommend Almaden Window & Door. Robin Henika was so pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. I purchased a Bay Window, not knowing anything about it, other than wanting one. she made great recommendations, regarding things that are important, eg. height of bench, strengthened glass to avoid accidents, to name a few. They met the exact ship date as well. This was so much better than a Lowes and Home Depot experience, where I first started my research.

I LOVE my new sliding glass door. Our door (including complete frame) had to be replaced after we had foundation work done. Robin was extremely helpful in making sure I picked out the right door, and getting us a great quote. The work was done in one day, and now I have a new door that OPENS. I highly recommend this company if you need new windows & doors!

I replaced my three windows to double pane windows. I'm very happy with the whole process. Robin is very patient during the communication stage, she replied emails quickly and answered all my questions. Jim is very very professional. It took about 3 hours for all the installation and clean up. Also, Jim helped me removed all the blinds and put them back.

I was referred to Almaden by another company. Robin couldn't wait to get me off the phone and had a condescending tone. I did not appreciate being treated this way and if anyone I know needs window replacements I would not recommend this company based on this interaction.

I didn't appreciate being lectured by Robin about needing to thoroughly read about their services on Yelp before calling them. Is it not expected for people to make simple inquiries from establishments? They don't do door repairs which I initially asked about, but I also wanted to replace several windows & doors in my home too. I didn't bother asking about the latter since she obviously didn't have the time of day for me. I'm sorry I found this business on Yelp, as Robin made it seem like I was a waste of time for wanting their help.

I contacted Almaden window based on the yelp review. Robin who is a owner responded to me promptly and explained tme what I should expect from the replacement. Unfortunately, my project is out of their scope that they could not take the project, but she kindly offered referral for general contractors. I appreciated the detailed scope and direction she provided. Thanks!

We were looking to replace our broken french patio doors. We visited their showroom and Robin took the time to patiently explain our options. We did shop around for competitive quotes and Alamden W&D was in the ball park. After sensing that this was a good team from the vibes during the quote and estimate process we went ahead. We had to wait the long time (8 weeks) for custom Milgard's (no fault of theirs). Jim and his crew did a professional job extracting the entire frame and installing our new ones. Very happy with their professionalism and workmanship. I do not hesitate recommending them after our experience. Keep up the good work! Cheers Merv

Robin processes the quotes and orders. She is very quick to respond and seems very organized. As for the prices. I only got one quote other than Almaden's and they were both in the same ballpark, with Almaden slightly cheaper. I went with Almaden because Robin seemed very thorough in the questions she asked before giving me a "blind quote" and because Robin was far more responsive than the other company.

Now for the installation. Jim came with another worker (I forgot his name). Jim seemed very meticulous and almost seemed like a perfectionist. Watching him work gave me a really good feeling that the installation was most likely done properly (of course I'm not an expert). The windows and patio door look and work great!

We replaced two windows. Robin and Jim were a pleasure to work with. Their bid was the most reasonably priced and straightforward. They were patient with our change of plans, on time for appointments and very clean and time-efficient with the installation. We are very happy that we chose this family run business!

I have moisture between my dual pane Milgard windows. I'm a renter and the landlord has requested that I get multiple quotes. After coming out the first company said it couldn't be repaired and that they would charge $1200 to replace the entire window. Daunting to say the least. I sent in a quote request to Almaden Window & Door and Robin (the owner) promptly replied and while they don't do repairs she spent time helping identify the manufacturer.

From there she determined that these windows have a life time warranty. She walked my through opening a service request with Milgard which was straight forward. Without Robin's professional assistance and with no opportunity for her to make money she guided me to a cost free solution. Outstanding customer focus.

Dependable, on-time and affordable. They knocked out the job faster than we could imagine. Thanks Robin and Jim!

Almaden Window replaced all of our windows a couple of years ago. They did a great job, gave us a good price and were very professional. Just had them install a sliding glass door and got the exact same great service. Robin worked with me to get to a price and quality of window that we were comfortable with, and Jim did excellent work. I recommend them to people all of the time.

We recently had a little accident with our patio door - ok, basically a huge slab of stone was dropped into it and destroyed it. Oops. Almaden Window & Door was one of four companies we called. Robin gave us a ballpark estimate right away (other companies wouldn't even give a price range without scheduling someone to come out 48 hours later, and others never called us back).

We stopped by their showroom to check out the features and options. Robin listened carefully to our concerns, and recommended a mid-level model to fit the style of our home, but with an added three-point integrated security lock. It was exactly what we wanted. A formal quote was followed by an on-site confirmation of the door measurements the next morning - very quick.

The door arrived on schedule (2 weeks), and was installed on schedule. Everything was done for exactly the quoted price. Jim was very careful, even removing pictures from the interior wall in case their banging might shake them off their hooks. Their work was top notch, and it works flawlessly. They met our expectations 100% and we couldn't be happier.

Thank you, Almaden windows, love our new updated look. Such fast and efficient work. Milgards are beautiful windows, installation was excellent and Jim and Ruben treated our home as if it was theirs. Great Job, well worth the investment.

After a much lukewarm experience with another contractor to replace our patio doors, a friend of mine suggested I contact Robin to discuss replacement of all our windows. I found her to be really proactive and easy to deal with. She was much accommodating to our special requests, including ordering Andersen windows, a line they don't normally carry.

For the installation, Jim demonstrated a high level of craftsmanship. Our painter even commented that Jim's work was one of the best trim work he had ever seen. The installation was done on-time and cleanly. I have to say this is one of my best experience dealing with a contractor in the Bay Area. And I've had several nightmares in this respect. : Well done!
