My father has been involved in the housing industry since 1974 when he was hired on as an apprentice framer (i.e. one who builds walls and other woodwork pertaining to the basic structure of a home). He worked the next 25 years as a framer, a good number of those years alongside my grandfather building many homes for S&S and other companies from Ventura to San Diego. Later in my grandfather's career, he and my father worked for S&S customer service performing structural home repair under warranty for the new homeowners. Into the 90's dad began doing side work on the weekends for Lowe's Home Improvement warehouse, and grandpa retired in his mid seventies... Though he seemed to never retire and continue to hover around whatever my dad was working on. About this time I bagan working with my dad during the Summer months at the age of 13. We worked for a window salesman performing measurements for windows to be ordered and we installed the windows. Some years later we decided to hang our own shingle and go into business for ourselves. My father and I are the only two employees working for this corporation, that's how we like it. We complete door and window jobs in-house with no hired help. My father and I both arrive at a person's home to give a free estimate, work with the manufacturer on the details of the windows a homeowner wants and we both return to install the windows and/or doors. We do have two independent tradesmen that we work with when there is a large quantity of stucco, drywall or plaster to work with. Our stucco man has been doing specialty work for us since 2001 and has over 22 years experience. We are a Milgard Windows Dealer, we do work with all other brands as well. We are licensed and bonded. Our cell phones are always on and we are always ready to talk windows.
