Newman Windows and Doors - San Diego

Since they can't seem to take the San Diego location off their website. I will do you the honor of telling you not to waste your time showing up, only to find it is empty and closed for good. Even after I called and asked if the showroom was open. Losers

They don't seem to really want to take care of repairs. Took me months to get them to even make an appointment for the screens. And worse since the did the original install they still haven't come out to fix the messed up white stuff around the door. Been an eye sore for so long.....

DO NOT HIRE NEWMAN WINDOWS. Imagine the worst experience you could have with a contractor and I'll bet it's not as bad as my experience with Newman. This has been the biggest contracting nightmare of my life, and I've had a lot of nightmare situations having been in real estate for 25 years. It took Newman 6 trips to my house to *finish* my window installation - 2 times to actually put the windows in and 4 times to repair their horrible workmanship, which I'm still discovering problems. Here's a rundown as best I can recall, since they've failed so many times on so many levels that it's honestly hard to remember: 1st visit: Install 14 windows but they're missing two windows. Reschedule to come back when they have the windows. Damage all 14 windows during installation (I paid $4k for custom frame color and they scratch almost EVERY SINGLE WINDOW FRAME and don't bother touching anything up). 2nd visit: This is in a second home so I'm not here full-time. I made arrangements to take time off work and fly in to be at the house for the last two windows to be installed. Workers show up without windows, despite me telling the company MULTIPLE TIMES that the windows weren't at my house. So I miss work, waste money on travel and still don't have my last two windows. 3rd visit: They have the windows delivered but they don't have a third guy nor the type of ladder that's necessary to install one of the windows. 4th visit: They bring the extra guy and ladder, but have the wrong color touch up paint to fix literally EVERY FRAME that was scratched during install. I paid an extra $4k for custom color frames and every single one was damaged during the installation. 5th visit: They bring the correct color touch up paint, but they literally put it on with a nail polish brush and it's dripping and running down the frames. Imagine spending $20k (the amount I paid for these windows) on a new car and paying extra to get the color you want, and it showing up all scratched. And then they *fix* it by slathering on touch up paint with a nail polish brush. 6th visit: Finish window borders to cover up where they shot nails through to the interior of the house around the window frame. Current situation: Due to absolutely horrible caulking around one window, I have water bubbling up in my wall because rainwater is coming in from the failed caulking. I'm not having them come back. I'm hiring someone capable of doing the most basic of workmanship in a competent manner. Take your chances with this one. I will literally tell every person I meet to stay away from Newman Windows.

Just dont. We purchased new windows for our entire house from Newman and regret it. The following is a chronological list of problems we had with this company. And Newmans Windows, please, feel free to chime in if any of this is untrue. First visit to install all new windows: 2 windows wrong size and had to be reordered. Missing bathroom screen. Window w/chipped glass installed kitchen, had to be reordered. Front room window broken, wouldnt stay up. Forgot locks window locks. Second visit: Only installed front 2 windows. Brought wrong size for missing bathroom screen. Mis-measured chipped kitchen window, had to be reordered again. Fixed front room window, broke again immediately. Brought wrong colored locks. Third visit: Only fixed kitchen window. Brought wrong size bathroom screen again. Couldnt fix front room window. Said they werent comfortable installing locks. Fourth visit: Came to check out installing locks. Didnt install them. Fifth visit: Only put in bathroom screen, said they had alternatives for locks. Sixth visit: The company that makes the windows came out and said they couldnt fix the front window because it was installed wrong. Seventh visit: Said they couldnt fix the bad install and had to order a new window. Apart from all that, which took over 3 months and 8 visits to finally fix everything, their customer services is horrible. It can take more than a week for someone to call you back. And it seems that a lot of our problems came from the fact that Dakoda, our sales rep, mis-measured our windows. He also told us that we could get special locks for our windows, which apparently, according to the manufacturer, cant be done. Once again, just dont. Service: Window installation
