Republic Windows

We had Rebublic replace 11 windows in our home. They were on time, polite, efficient, and the Windows look great. The price was also extremely fair. Not one thing to complain about, highly recommend.

A friend heard their ad on the radio. I called and John, the owner, came personally and took measurements for the estimate. After getting two other estimates for the same number of windows (8) and 3 patio doors, I went with Republic. Dan answered my questions on operation and security of the windows. The windows were ordered early January 2016 (right after the holidays) and delivered to Republic January 18. Installation was yesterday (January 22) and I can’t say enough about the installers. A crew of 5 came on time and immediately went to work, covering my furniture and removing windows and doors. They worked as a team and each man did his part efficiently. They installed everything in 4 hours and cleaned up after themselves, including washing the windows and cleaning the surrounding carpet, tile and outside areas. There was no damage to the outside stucco and on the inside the trim is perfect. They were very polite, respectful, and had a dynamite music selection of Michael Buble, Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra & instrumentals, playing discretely while they worked. The windows are beautiful. I can’t wait to see the energy efficiency reflected in my utility bills. Can’t beat the price, service, professional installation and music! Go Republic Windows!

Outstanding! We had 11 windows that were in need of replacement. Of the quotes that we got, Republic was one of our top choices. Their salesman Tim showed up exactly on time and answered all my questions. He provided us with a reasonable quote and made it clear that the price could change a little depending on what additional work (if any) would be required. After checking and some praying for guidance, we decided to go with Republic. The owner, John, came out for a final measurement and struck us as very knowledgeable and honest. After several weeks, the windows were ready for installation and the crew showed up in a Republic truck (on time). I assumed that the job would take several days but the crew got the job finished in just one day as they promised! The cost was a little higher than their estimate but that was expected considering the condition of our old windows. They took exceptional care with covering items and cleanup and I am happy to report that after the first El Nino storm, we have no leaks. The house is much warmer inside because the new double pane windows are so energy efficient. The new windows look great and I can recommend Republic to anybody looking for Window replacement. These guys know what they are doing! My next job is going to replace two sets of sliding glass doors and guess who I am calling — REPUBLIC! Thank you again for a job well done the first time. I hope you see this Tim and John and know that we will be recommending you to anyone we come across in the need of your great service.

Republic Windows were quick, efficient, & clean! Very satisfied with the work that was done in our home! They were also very friendly. I recommend them highly & best price by far, we were able to replace ALL our windows. Huge noticeable difference in our home with this cold weather we’ve been having. Very happy! they are a no nonsense Company & no hidden fees. Thank you Republic!

Republic is as good as it gets; other companies tried to wheel & deal, but Republic just got to the point, gave the best price and did the install quick and efficient. The owner John came out to the house to introduce himself and take measurements, and the installation crew left the place cleaner than when they came. would refer to anyone in a heartbeat

Trying to find the right words to describe Republic cant do it, Every one from John, Dan, and the fantastic crew. they Showed up on time, clean, professional, rechecking measurements before removing exiting windows and doors. Their was very little conversation between the crew only because they were on a mission to complete my job and to ensure that I was satisfied. But always took the time to answer any questions that i had. this company has my seal of approval, so the next time your looking for windows, or doors call John it will be the smartest and easiest decision you will ever make.

The word here is PERFECTION! That’s all. I heard a commercial from Republic Windows on the radio, called, schedule a visit, Tim, very nice and knowledgeable man, showed the windows they have, packages etc. My husband and I decided to do all of our 15 windows + 3 doors. John, the owner, came to our house measured every window and door. Soon after that, he called us to let us know the windows on our family room were gigantic and there was a safety concern by building them as triple pane, he came back to our house and gave us options. We decided to make our windows a bit smaller to comply with now days regulations and safety protocols (as per John’s advice+ we have 4 kids+ our windows were 37 yrs old). Our windows arrived and the installation process was amazing! the guys doing this job do know what they are doing, I was impressed, honestly, by their professionalism and attention to detail.
As soon as they were done and gone, I had a pretty little open house as my neighbors came to see how fast and precise they did their job (specially women). There was no trace of any repairs or construction done at my house afterwards since the workers carry their vacuum up and down and left everything impeccable. I cannot thank enough John the owner, Tim who does the in-​home presentations, Dan at the warehouse, Ann the lady handling scheduling, and the workers for their finest and effective work.
My neighbor came and couldn’t believe his eyes, he said he was still paying 30k for his windows and when we told him we pay half for more windows he almost fainted !!!
Republic is the way good… look at your window and call Republic Windows!

We’ve used Republic Windows twice — once for a pair of windows in a bedroom around 2008, and then just this week for a casement window in the kitchen. Both times, the process was smooth and easy. I don’t remember the details of the ’08 install, but the windows are still in top condition, so that speaks for itself.
As for the most recent window, our original wood windows w/​divided lights (grids) were heavily damaged due to termites so we decided to replace it with vinyl, no divided lights, even though it wouldn’t be the same as the other windows in the house. Given the placement of the window we didn’t think it would be too odd. After measurements, we waited about a month for the window.
Reuben came out to install. (After dealing with contractors who were no-​shows, it was refreshing when he actually showed up EARLY!) The job was initially estimated to take about 2 hours, but it was more complicated than expected so it ended up taking twice the time. Fortunately I had arranged to be home the entire day. Reuben was thorough and careful not to damage any trim or stucco, and took care to have me check the work throughout the process. He answered my concerns, and in the end, even though it took longer than expected, the window looks great and he left the work area clean.
We’ve been quite happy with our experience with Republic and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we plan to replace more windows.

I had my windows installed from Republic and I am very satisfied with my windows. Very professional company and cares about the service they provide. I only had 4 windows and a sliding door, they showed up on time and were done within 4 hours. They took care to cover furniture and clean up after they were done. I would recommend this company.

First company we called. Showed up on time for estimate. Only company that gave estimate on the spot. Price was the most reasonable out of 4 estimates. Once we decided to move forward, appointment for final measurements was done. Said it would be 3 weeks until windows would be complete. They called 2.5 weeks later ready to install. Showed up for the install on time again and knocked out the work in ONE DAY! Quality of work was great! My wife and I love our new windows and sliding door. Bottom line — the price is right, they delivered on their timeline, made the process easy and the work quality was amazing. Highly recommend. Thanks Republic!

I used Republic in May 2015 to replace a sliding glass door and window. The price, installation and service were commendable.
My only complaint is the design of the handle on the screen for the sliding glass door (PRO-​GEM Pro 960S model). It is very shallow and very difficult to grip with your fingers. It just plain makes the sliding screen hard to close. A slight design change would be so simple. I am not sure why PRO GEM hasn’t fixed this.
Anyway, everything else about the company was terrific. It’s too bad there is this one thing that I get reminded of every time I open the screen.

I am definitely recommending Republic to my condo neighbors and friends. John Gunnison was very hands-​on through-​out my windows & sliding door project. From producing the necessary paperwork that my HOA requires to personally coming back over a couple months after the install to clean-​up some knicks the vinyl, he ALWAYS made an effort to ensure I was happy. His team is great, too, and was a pleasure to work with. My windows & sliding door look awesome and make such a huge difference in appearance, reducing sound & UV rays.

This is the SADDEST STORY ever! And I am sure I will be labeled a fool for trying for so long to work with them but I hoped they would honor their word and correct their mistakes.
In December 2011 I was 6 months pregnant with 5 other children and my husband living at home. Two of our boys were sleeping in a room who’s walls were swollen and bulging from the window down to the floors. I called around and after a ton of research ended up with an abatement company having to secure the area and take out more than half of the wall for black mold. Thank God I did not just go in and open up the wall for repairs!!! I home school my children and we are in the home all day so that would have been very dangerous! But it was not cheap. The expert from California Microbial was the first to explain that our windows were leaking. I honestly did not believe him. They were new! How could they be leaking? Unfortunately that was not all. Our living room window was also bulging and swelling, and the $ 3,000.00 french doors the leads to the backyard were leaking too. He said I needed to call whomever installed our windows immediately. I called RW&D and John the owner come out to take a look. All of the caulking around every single window and door was completely cracked! I mention it to John and he actually waved his hand, saying that was normal. Oh? It seems like a real problem to me. Together John and I check the kitchen window and as he pulled out the indoor siding water gushed out on to the floor of my kitchen! The whole frame was filled with water! He had me running for towels! Then he checked my living room window. I told him not to disrupt the siding because I was nervous that it might contained mold as well, but he started pulling at it anyway. I was horrified! «STOP! please!!!» he backed away. He said he would send his site manager out to fix the problem. He then offered me only HALF of the $ 1,250.00 it cost me to abate the boys bedroom wall of the black mold. I was in shock. We had spent $ 10,000.00 in windows and doors with them, they put my children at risk and now he wanted to split the bill? Where was the integrity? This did not make me feel like a valued customer.
I wish I could say this was it, but the story continues. The site manager did come out and was so very nice and helpful. He told me that there were two problems here: 1) Faulty material. The cracked caulking was the issue for leaking on all 11 windows and doors. 2.) Faulty Installation. The bedroom window that leaked so badly actually had a portion almost in inch think on the top of the window that was NOT CAULKED at all. So of course it was flooding with water. The site manager immediately re-​caulked the everything and put new siding over the bedroom window and kitchen windows. When I asked about the other side of the house he said that John told him to only do the two windows. So one side of the house now looks different then the other. This is strange to me since the living room window is leaking as well and that is on the other side.
Well after countless calls and emails, they did come out and fix the dry wall in the bedroom. This took about a year to get done. A very taxing year I might add too. But there was no effort to refund us the money expended on the abatement, not even the half he offered to pay and no work done to the kitchen or living room windows.
I have called and email as well as left messages for another 6 to 8 months for both Dan and John only to have my file shuffled from one desk to another’s. On June 27^th, 2014 John finally came out to address the situation. He came with an expert who could safety redo my living room wall. His name was Steve. I had my father, a man with years in construction, and my sister a licensed architect present for support, advice and as a witnesses. In that meeting, this is what John promised me. He said that in the next couple of days Ruben would come to put siding on the other side of the house. By the following week Steve would come out to begin enclosing the living room area as to safely repair the wall. And as for the money owed? He agreed to pay the full amount and asked me to invoice his office. We even shook on it.
I invoiced him THAT SAME DAY, with a recounting of all that he agreed to do. That was on June 27^th, 2014! SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE PERSON, GOTTEN A SINGLE PHONE CALL OR HEARD FROM ANYONE. I have called and called. No returned call. No communication of any kind from them. I don’t have to tell you that this June will be a year since these promises were made.
This entire thing has lated over 2.5 years. I unfortunately have NO MORE TIME to waste on this. I did every thing I knew to do to handle this well. I worked tirelessly to try to resolve the matter to no avail. I am now pursuing legal assistance. I am left with no other choice. This will end in a lawsuit which to me is incredibly sad.

Let me start off by saying that all the windows in my house have been replaced and while it has only been about 1-​month so far the actual windows and installation are fine and I am happy with the final service.
My concerns with the job that was done are with their customer service/​interaction. After making the original order (and having them come out and measure my windows twice, which seems to be their standard procedure) I heard nothing in the following weeks. I had to call them to confirm that we were actually still scheduled for the planned date — we were.
The day they showed up, I had gone through great lengths to move furniture, cover everything with sheets and drop cloths, and protect my floors. I am glad I went through the effort, because while they did take some care it was certainly less than I would have wanted. They did take some effort to clean up the interior, but at one point there was actually wet stucco on my hardwood floor. I had not protected that part of the floor because it is scheduled for replacement — but they didn’t know that.
Outside was even worse, after the crews left I had a serious cleanup to do. Bits of stucco, wood, tips from caulking guns, piles of sawdust, etc. scattered all around my yard and planter boxes, including a large white spot in my front yard where they were rinsing their stucco tools. Again, my landscape is not in good shape and so I am not particularly concerned about damage but some more care in protection and cleanup should expected. I can say I was not exactly happy in the time I spent after they left scrubbing dried stucco from my patio and planter box edging.
The worst part was the lack of communication — even though they measured twice there was still a window wrong. Things happen, I know, but what was very frustrating is that they never told me this. Late in the afternoon I noticed that they still hadn’t removed that window and had to ask why not. I was later told that the sales rep had stopped by the house but I never saw him and certainly didn’t talk to him. I received no follow up calls and had to call the company myself weeks later to find out what was going on with the window. They did come out and install it and so now everything is complete, but still frustrating from a customer’s point of view.
Finally, when the crew was leaving the first day their foreman who had me sign the paperwork told me I could authorize less than the total as they had not finished the job yet — it clearly stated on my contract that final payment was not due until the job was done. So imagine my surprise when my credit card was billed for MORE than the signed contract amount BEFORE they did the last window. When I called about this they didn’t really answer why they billed before finishing, «we have your window ready and can come out tomorrow» but was told that I was charged extra because I paid by credit card. I can understand this, as they do have to pay more when running a credit card, but this was not discussed with me at the time of payment. It wasn’t a huge amount, but again I shouldn’t be surprised by the charge after the fact.

Republic Windows absolutely exceeded my expectations with regard to our recent window upgrade. We purchased a new (new to us) house about one month ago and the team at Republic worked to ensure the process was smooth. Juggling 50 projects at a time with any remodel it’s nice to know that you can worry about one less thing in using Republic. There are some reviews on here regarding shoddy installation… our work was done without a flaw so I can’t say if their reviews are consistent or not. I already have and will continue to refer my friends to Republic.

I’ve now hired Republic Windows twice for new retrofit windows in my home and both times have been 5-​star service.
A few years ago, we hired a contractor to renovate our kitchen and replace all of our windows in our home just months after we moved in. The contractor skipped town before completing the job. He had our window money but didn’t replace any of our windows. He did, however, manage to mess up quite a number of things related to our window replacement, such as removing stucco around one window that he intended to remove. All of this left my house exposed and unsightly.
When I first contracted Republic I didn’t have enough money to replace all of my windows so I only took advantage of their 8 window special at the time.
Republic did a great job with those 8 windows and they fixed the window related issues that were caused by my previous contractor. It’s been 5 years since those windows were installed and we’ve been super pleased with the quality of the product. I’m amazed at the quality of the window relative to the cost.
Now, more recently, we finally have the money to replace the remaining 6 windows in our home. From the time I made the initial call to Republic to the time the windows actually got installed was less than 3 weeks. Now that the windows have been in for a few days, I can’t say enough about how pleased I am.
John came to my home himself, as he did the first time. John was super friendly and relational. John was up front that our current blinds would likely not fit if we installed triple pane windows. He recommended only dual pane windows for two windows in my son’s room that do not get direct sunlight. For one window that gets much direct afternoon sun, he mentioned that our blinds would not fit after installation because of the thickness of the triple paned window. For convenience, Republic installs blinds for a very reasonable rate. We went with this option and it looks really nice.
I should mention too that Republic also did some stucco work related to my previous contractor issue and also removed an old AC unit that was permanently installed in my upstairs master bedroom. Removal required outside weathering and stucco work and also inside insulation and drywall work. The job was done well and exceeded my expectations. Price was reasonable and I finally have this old, unsightly AC unit removed from my room and from view.
My new windows have been outstanding. Most of the windows replaced were windows that get a lot of direct afternoon/​evening sun — pretty much the hottest part of the house. We have already noticed a significant difference in the temperature of those rooms, not to mention the windows make each of those rooms look 1000% better.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Republic (both times) and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Are they perfect? No, nobody is. But they do great work at an amazing value and I believe they are a company of integrity that will do whatever is necessary to fix a problem or get the job done right.
I should say in my first round with Republic one of the windows on initial install did not fit. The measurement had been wrong. The window was quickly rush reordered and a subsequent visit was made to install that one window. Yeah, it would have been great if everything worked super smooth with no problems the first time but everything worked out in the end and everything was done with professionalism.
I can’t say enough about Republic and I highly recommend them for your window replacement needs.

Republic was one of three bidders to replace all windows, all patio sliding doors, and 4 water heater room doors at a 45 unit building in Anaheim.
They provided the lowest price and they handled the installation without a single problem. I rate them 10 out of 10 in their customer service and attention to detail.
From John Gunnison (owner of the company), to Dan (Production Manager)
and Jose (Crew Leadman) could not have done a better job for us.
We plan to continue using them from now for any needed window replacement projects for our company.
Crew Members: Alberto, Gustavo, Juan, Salvador & Juan Carlos deserve just as much credit for showing up on time and making everyone happy with their great attitude and amazing work ethic.
Thank you!
Alberto with The Management Works

Well, after rearranging my Saturday appointments to accommodate their only installation time available this year!!! They never showed up! They never called! Nothing. Nada!
I NEVER SAY NEVER, BUT I HAVE TO SAY NEVER WORK WITH REPUBLIC WINDOWS. YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!
10:10a — Ruben just showed up for 9am appt. Nice guy. Wonder if he will break the window as he installs it too. 2^nd floor and he’s by himself. Wow Republic.
12:15pm — He is finally done replacing one window, after getting me to help him because it was a 2-person…oh, well, 51 weeks, dozens of calls, 2 no-​show appointments, 2 mis-​measured windows, 1 window the installer broke, they are all done.

John and I did speak and he graciously agreed to come out and fix the issue with the interior finishing on the wall. He promised a call back on Monday and I invited him to come see for himself. Monday came and went and no call or follow up from John. A little side note: If John had come out to inspect the work when the job was finished (as he said he would) then he would have seen for himself that the finish work on the wall was sub-​par.
Again the window installation was good, the finish work on the walls very poor and the customer service then and now very poor.

If I could give Republic Windows «10» stars I would!
After getting estimates from numerous window companies, John Gunnison owner of Republic was the only one that didn’t play games with the prices like I experienced with WinDor and others.
Tim came out and measured for my windows and brought a sample Plygem window to show me. I really appreciated Tim as my salesman.
Then the day of installation Jose and Albert came and did an awesome job! They were very neat and thorough. Jose even answered my questions about how the windows worked.
I just love my new windows !!!
John also referred me to Jason for my new heater/​ac and again I was very pleased!
If you are in the market for new windows, talk to the people at Republic Windows first.
They are honest and they are good at what they do. I will refer them to my family and friends.
Thank you John, Tim, Jose & Albert. :)
