We had several windows replaced and are very happy with the finished result. The installation was done well, everything looks great, and the quality of the work is excellent. We would definitely recommend him.

Reviews
Edgar did a great job of handling unexpected challenges that weren't his fault. He got the job done, and stayed as long as it took.
Edgar and his team were amazing. Very professional and knowledgeable. We hired them to install our front sooand security gate. They went above and beyond to repair some minor defects in the door before installing it. Edgar was very flexible with time and pricing. He even changed out the door trim for free because we didn't like the first trim. Definitely hiring him again for our next project.
Edgar and his team did a very good job replacing an old third-storey window for me. I originally thought I needed another Milgard window, but he recommended a Home Depot window that matched had better thermal properties, was easier to operate, and cost less. This was only one window, but it was not a simple job because of the height and the condition of the original installation. Other companies were not interested in taking on a small one-window project, but he fit me in. Communication was good. When he was running about 45 minutes behind coming from SF, he texted me ahead of time so I could adjust my schedule. After removing the old window, they found that the original installation had been substandard. Edgar explained the issues, corrected them, and installed the new window properly. They also color matched and painted the exterior so the repair blended exactly with the house. Two days after the installation, we had heavy rain, and everything stayed perfectly dry, as expected. Edgar was honest, knowledgeable, and good at problem-solving. The finished installation looks clean and the window operates smoothly. I would recommend him, especially for window replacement or repair projects where proper installation and waterproofing matter.
Door job is complete!
Edgar chose to fix my stuck window lock and did what he needed to and got it done. It required removing the entire sliding window which required some physical force and yet finesse and patience. I am so pleased with his perseverance and problem solving skills and understanding that replacement is not always necessary with older fixtures.
Edgar was great. Honest, knowledgeable, and professional.
Edgar did a very good job of capturing our first excellent impression of him. He was on time, honest and on point. He provided an honest opinion on sources of water leak and the best way to fix it. The team re-stucco/flashing the impacted area and replaced the 4 old windows installing the right way to prevent future leaks. As a satisfied customer we ended up replacing 4 more of our old windows. Highly recommended. As of this writing, there are few rains, but no leak identified. Thanks to Edgar and the team. The best thing is to know that you have a warranty in place for at least 7 years.
Edgar and his team did a perfect job for my siding project, he fixed all the windows that were improperly installed and were leaking into my house, he did a great job on explaining the work and gave me daily reports
Edgar has been working on windows for 10+ years and it shows! Edgar and his apprentice fixed my old-style single pane window (house from 1905) at great value, speed, and work quality. A testament to his experience, he quadruple-checked the measurements for the glass size dimensions and made his apprentice double check. He explained that the window had been caulked instead of glazed and patiently removed the caulk until he could get an accurate measurement he was confident in. He went back to his shop to cut the glass while his apprentice removed the rest of the caulk. The glass fit perfectly, the pane was glazed, and the whole process took 2.5 hours. Edgar was very friendly and was happy to explain his work in great detail. He has worked on large commercial skyscraper projects and knows over 20 window systems.
Edgar and his team accepted the job to repair a very old window, where no other established business in Yelp would take or even call back. The detailed pics I sent must have scared them off, but not E & F. Edgar called me back on the same day and offered a better deal than the others, which says a lot. We had a very good conversation too while they repaired even at dusk. He fixed our window like brand new as you can see. You cannot go wrong hiring E & F. Thank you!
We hired Edgar to replace a broken window pane on a French door. He was very responsive, friendly, and did high quality work. He offered great value, as he quoted us the most competitive price out of three businesses we reached out to, and did a fantastic job. Would definitely recommend/hire him again.
Edgar and his team are incredible. In the last rain we learned the seals on three windows were loose and unfortunately water seeped in and ruined the dry wall surrounding the windows in the corner of our room. Edgar was prompt, kind, professional and provided a quick quote and timely service! Because our wall color no longer exists, we then had his team repaint our whole room as well. They did another great job on the painting. Daniel - Edgar’s painter is wonderful and is an artist. We have never seen such expert straight lines. We have already recommended Edgar to friends and will without a doubt hire him for future projects.
Like with most contracting jobs, they're always more complicated than they first seem, LOL. Edgar however patiently and skillfully stuck with it and realigned and rehung a rather heavy door in my home. His quality and persistence in resolving the issue were very much appreciated. I highly, highly recommend him!!!
Edgar and Carlos were great! They worked quickly and efficiently on everything we gave them to do. Will definitely use them again.
Edgar was fantastic - he got the job done done as promised, and didn’t charge more than the time promised. He’s really nice, easy to work with and an honest professional. Mounted a heater, wall decor on my fence, string lights, patio lights and built a standing gas heater all in one visit. Highly recommend and will gladly work with him again.
Edgar was very easy to work with. He was patient and worked hard to do a thorough job. I liked the fact he was open to suggestions and allowed us to work with him to get an extremely difficult project done in a perfect manner. We will hire him again for future projects.
See before and after pictures attached. Project turned out excellent! The work was completed even better than hoped. He had ideas on how to make the landscape look better and completed the work quickly. I had work done on the side of my house and needed to move a retaining wall away from the house. I started but due to back pain was not physically able to finish the work. He was on time and I definitely recommend him for any home projects. Thank you!
