Waterfront humidity eats through standard windows. Impact-rated, energy-efficient windows from brands like PGT and Simonton seal tight, reduce noise from the boulevard, and keep conditioning costs down. You’ll notice the difference in comfort and utility bills within the first season.

San Jose’s patio doors take a beating from riverside salt air and humidity. We install durable entry and patio doors that combine secure frames, weather-tight seals, and the aesthetic your home deserves—whether you’re matching historic detail or going modern.
Siding
Mature trees and constant moisture call for siding that doesn’t rot or fade. We install low-maintenance fiber cement and vinyl options that hold up to riverfront exposure while keeping your home looking sharp.
Lanai & Sunroom
Expand into the screened living space that San Jose’s climate makes possible year-round. We build custom lanais and sunrooms that protect you from salt spray while letting you enjoy the outdoors.

Received more window quotes than I’d like to admit given the cost and amount of windows. Went with Preferred Upgrades and was not disappointed. Felt Ray was the most straight forward and honest, and he didn’t try any high pressure tactics like the others. I was nervous about replacing 18 windows in a 100 year old home, but install only took two days and nothing was added on top of the quote. Installation crew was on time and efficient, they cleaned everything up and even put all the blinds back up. Superior service and quality, would highly recommend.Posted on Google Ian NorthcuttTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!!

They also did excellent work on our siding repairs, even going above and beyond and repairing a couple extra spots of trim around my garage.Posted on Google Tanya EngelbrechtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not say enough how happy I am with the service I received. Ray was fantastic and you can tell that he values his customers. He stopped by almost every day. We had 53 windows replaced. The end results were beautiful. .
