Report
Do not use. I have used them for two projects, but never again. The office in Los Altos is dark and dingy and looks like a time capsule from the 1980s which for a window company foreshadowed the problems to come. I replaced 3 sliding glass doors and then replaced a window box. Like other people have said, they don't respond to voicemail or email which is just bizarre. After you give someone a lot of money, you want a company that will stand behind their work.
After those two projects, they gave me a quote to replace the remaining windows in my house, but they've lost that job now. Regarding my 2 projects, there were a couple of small install problems, like weather stripping that was installed incorrectly and leaked and also some gaps in the joints in the window box that were not watertight causing swelling and buckling in the wood. They told me they don't even have a person I could hire to fix the weather stripping. Imagine that, you're a local window company and you can't refer your customers to a contractor or a handyman. Apparently, a partner quit and now no one has a contractor's license.

We needed window hardware for our Simpson windows. Our contractor had lost all the window hardware and David took the time to understand what we needed. He ordered them and then left the package out when we picked it up, ensuring social distancing. Great customer service and I would highly recommend Select Windows.

Select is apparently uninterested in Post-Sales support. Unanswered messages left with answering service and on answering machine. Puzzling performance given Bobbie P's review of 10/6/2020.

Dave helped us order a replacement for an older window from Weather Shield. The first time they sent the wrong window. But Dave stuck with it and re-ordered, all the time keeping his cheerful disposition, until they got it right. Thank you, Dave.
