"I hired Craftsman Home Builders to Tex coat and Cool Wall the exterior of my home. l’m very happy with how my home looks! The workers took pride in their work and cleaned up after themselves. At the same time, I ordered some fire, ember screens from another company, and I was told by Craftsman Home Builders that they would go ahead and install them for me. The other company delayed the delivery of my screens by almost a month and a half. But, I was still assured that they would go ahead and install them when the screens arrived. When they were finally delivered, the workers came to install them. But the custom-made screens were the wrong size. Somewhere along the line, a measurement error had occurred. I was assured by Jordan, an officer of Craftsman Home Builders that the error was not on my end and that they would make good on their promise. I was told they would adjust the siding to accommodate the screens, or re-order the screens at their expense. Together, we problem solved and they were able to install the screens to my satisfaction in a very swift, and professional manner. I’m happy to recommend this company to anyone that wants good work done on their home."

Renewal by Andersen is trusted by homeowners across San Diego for providing high-quality windows and patio doors. Whether you live in Carlsbad, La Jolla, or Encinitas, we work with thousands of customers to bring long-term value to every home. As a full-service window replacement company since 1995, we’ve been offering a smooth and hassle-free process for the past 30 years. Every window and patio door is made to order, and each one includes a comprehensive warranty that guarantees long-lasting performance. Plus, we have a wide selection of amazing styles and colors! From our beautiful bay windows to the modern aesthetic of our sliding glass doors, all Renewal by Andersen products are designed to enhance the look and feel of your space.
"We chose Renewal by Andersen of Greater San Diego in December of 2021 to build and install new replacement windows for practically our entire house. (total of 21 windows). We researched several different window manufacturers and installers (including Pella, Andersen (new construction-type windows), Marvin, Milgard and others. Although Renewal By Andersen was EXPENSIVE, we felt the design, construction, and features of their windows (mostly large glider windows) as well as their installation technique (installed in a stucco house) best fit what we wanted. The sales rep. arranged for me to meet with one of their lead installers, Steve, and a technical consultant in their office to go over the installation process and options. We were particularly impressed that they employ all of their own installation crews and that they manage the whole process, including financing. Build time was quoted at 14-16 weeks and actually took approximately 17 weeks due to high demand. We delayed installation until mid-August due to travel plans. Installation was just completed in late August '22. The professionalism and process of the installation crew was superb! The crew leader, Jonathan L. and his crew member Toby P. are particularly to be commended for their teamwork and attention to my needs and concerns. Their helper, Sam, was also extremely careful in making sure the work areas were sealed off with plastic and floors covered completely where ever they worked. After the 1st day, it became apparent that installation was going to take longer than initially estimated and additional crew members were added. Thanks to Adrian, Juan, and others for their help and expertise. The installation took 5 days (as planned) with 4-5 crew members/day. The crew was very accommodating and offered to help with moving furniture, if we needed help. Everything was picked up every night. Another feature we weren't even aware of - Renewal By Andersen also employs their own painters that come following the job and provide paint/labor to paint anything disturbed, inside & out. Jose H. did and exceptional job on the finish painting details. We couldn't be happier with the finished result. The appearance and function of the windows exceeds our expectations. We have noticed significantly less heat gain in the house as well as much less outside noise. And particularly, we are amazed by the near invisibility of their TruScene screens. We feel that this purchase made a significant upgrade to our home that we will enjoy for the next 20-30 years. If I had to be critical of anything, my sales rep. left the company shortly after I signed the contract and no one else contacted me to take over managing the process. I had to initiate future contacts, but everything came together."

Building codes call for a window well that sits at least eight inches below the bottom of the window and extends six inches past each side. A quick way to get the minimum dimensions is to add 12 inches to the window’s width and eight inches to its height. For egress windows, most areas require a minimum of 36 inches by 36 inches and a depth of approximately three to five feet to provide a safe emergency exit.
Adding a drain is the best way to keep water from pooling in the well and leaking into the basement. Connecting the well to a French drain or sump pump channels runoff away from the foundation, and proper grading supports the system by directing water downhill. If you notice standing water or moisture, talk with a pro about upgrading the drainage before it compromises the structure.
Plan to replace the window well once you notice persistent leaks, water pooling, rust, or cracking—any indication that the well is no longer protecting the basement. Handling the project quickly safeguards the foundation and avoids costly repairs down the road by stopping moisture before it spreads. Consult a window installation pro for an inspection to see if it’s time to replace your window well.
