Airtight Vinyl Siding & Windows

We had a large Milgard window fall out of our 2^nd story beach home. After frogging around with other windows companies and contractors, I found Airtight’s owner James to be responsive, knowledgeable and competent. Other estimates were higher and quoted 5 – 6 weeks to get custom made windows. After calling Airtight, James came by the next day, made his measurements and gave me a quote the day after. His quote was quite a bit less expensive and that others and he promised to have the windows from a California company with Lifetime warranty within 12 days. Sue enough, about 10 days later, he called and subsequently installed the windows in a day. If you are on the Central Coast, I wholeheartedly recommend Airtight for any of your window or siding needs. Thanks James!

A few years ago we had Airtight Vinyl Siding and Windows install Anlin Windows in our condo. We were very pleased with the product and services, so when we needed new sliders and windows for our new place, we contacted Airtight again. I think the measure of a great company is whether you will give them your repeat business. If you are looking for a great window, made by a great company and installed by a great contractor, contact Airtight. We worked with Tom Cercel, their sales representative. Tom was professional. very informative and very responsive. He was incredibly patient and thorough as he helped me work through the approval process with our condominium board, The installers were on time, very pleasant, worked diligently and cleaned up each day. A shout out to Fernando, Christian, Greg and Marie. James Sampson, the owner-​manager-​worker has a quality first orientation to his company and he works very hard to keep his customers happy. He stands by his work and considers customer satisfaction his top priority. I think you will be pleased if you choose Airtight and Anlin. We are, twice over!

Airtight replaced nearly all our windows and a sliding door, and reconfigured another sliding door into two windows about 10 years ago. It turns out that the sliding door has been leaking water all this time and we only discovered it when we ripped out the carpet and sub-​floor during some remodeling of that room. Our current contractor suggested we call Airtight and when I spoke to James (the owner), he assured me that he stands behind all his work. He sent a team out to pull the door, fix the damage and reinstall the door with a pan under it this time. One of the reasons we continue to chose local companies owned by long standing Santa Cruz residents is because they are part of our community and care about the work they do and the (long term) satisfaction of their customers.
Update: As the day progressed they discovered that another set of windows they put in nearly 16 years ago were leaking and they offered to repair the damage at no charge. James has been so great, getting his guys out here, investigating what went wrong and agreeing to make any and all problems right. A company who stands behind their work is rare indeed and not something to be taken for granted. I am very glad we chose to use Airtight and would recommend them for sure!

Airtight Vinyl siding and windows have done a number of jobs for me. These guys really do it all. I had windows replaced in two houses, deck work done and siding replaced. The owner James is very professional and not only bids the jobs, but he actually shows up and helps the guys do the work. I don’t know how many times I’ve had work done and never saw the owner/​boss after the bid. This is not the case with Airtight. I highly recommend this company and will be using them again in the near future. Thanks James and Renee for your professionalism!

It’s really difficult to find a good contractor. These guys did a great job on our Portola Dr. House. Took a old flat picture window and installed a beautiful Bay Window in our living room. It has made a huge difference in our living space and everybody comments on what a big difference it has made. I only wish we had known about them 12 years ago before we changed out all of our old wood double hung single pane windows for vinyl double panes through some other company. The materials Airtight used are much better quality. Good people, good craftsmanship, good result. Could not have been a better experience.

After a long search I found these guys and I’m so happy I did! We live in Los Gatos and I’m really happy we went with someone local. The sales guy Tom was fantastic. He came to our house and gave us all the information we needed. I also didn’t feel like he was pushy (we also looked into Anderson Windows and the sales guy was very pushy). They checked window measurements several times to ensure accuracy. After we got town and HOA approval they were super quick in booking a date. They were also really quick at responding to any questions/​calls.
The installation was great experience as well. They were speedy, accurate, professional, careful and paid great attention to detail.
Thanks again so much for an all round wonderful experience.

After I was disappointed by one local window shop, I selected this family owned shop.
I’m so happy my decision was correct. They worked hard and cleaned everything after installation. The price they offered also reasonable. if I replace more windows next year I absolutely choose this window company.

This is a family owned business where the owner with over 20 years experience is helping with the install. Certified Anlin window installers another family owned company the windows are made here in California to order. Arrived on time, very hard workers with attention to detail. I have security bars but they managed to remove them and reinstall. I am so happy I used airtight vinyl siding and windows. James and his crew are like a well oiled machine. Good service, good product, good workmanship, and good price. The salesman Tom was pleasant and informative as well, and James’ wife Renee in the office was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

James and his wonderful team installed a slider and a window in our home and we couldn’t be happier. James went above and beyond, paying close attn. to every detail and graciously adding a few unscheduled jobs to the list. They left the place totally clean. We loved their upbeat, fun attitudes. They were pure pleasure to work with.

I can’t use enough superlatives to describe our experience with Airtight from the staff to the finished result.
We live in the Santa Cruz mountains and find ourselves surrounded by homeowners who find in acceptable to leave their dogs out barking all night. Suffice to say with an older house the insulation leaves a lot to be desired and add an early wake up from idiots with a Rooster and you have a situation that needs attention.
Actually our pick list of irritating things to solve with insulation would be the following ;
Roosters
Barking dogs
Noisy old cars
Woodpeckers on the walls
Bats getting into the eves
Bodged siding repairs by previous owners
Temperature difference between inside and outside scarily close
Me putting too many wires around the house for home theatre
Shakes getting knocked off by woodpeckers
Window treatments getting rotten
Severe weather swings causes paint to break down super quick
Generally old and dated look from cheap vertical siding making potential resale limited
Whilst researching retrofit foam insulation, I came across recycled low impact Vinyl siding which is pre insulated and seems to be the norm on the east coast but not so much on the west. I lobbed a call into our local installer being Airtight, of which they returned my message immediately and booked an inspection. As a point of reference I also called three foam installer and none bothered responding.
After a short visit and a proposal, we agreed, signed their paperwork and they ordered the materials. What was a total bonus was that the new siding goes straight on-​top of our existing cladding and is pre-​colored so it never needs painting.
They started the job when they said, they were a little slower than they promised but and I mean a big but, they worked on the house as if it were their own. They really took their time, had great attention to detail, there was no drama, no fuss, no breakages and they cleaned up nicely after every evening.
We now have a house that looks modernized and is scarily so quiet inside that I sometimes wonder if there has been an apocalypse and we are the last remaining people on earth.
O.K perhaps a little far fetched but I highly recommend the product and this team, fantastic experience baring in mind they were with us for nearly four weeks which is more than enough to hate a contractor :-)
Thanks James, you did your company proud ! Oh and he really looks after his crew well, he bought them drinks and food to the site, he forced them to take breaks and even made them put on sunscreen. Perhaps a little girlie but we noticed and this is the sort of ethics and commitment that makes them who they are and why we would heartily recommend them.

EXCELLENT!!! After reading the Unilocal reviews I contacted Airtight to install two Anlin windows and a sliding door in my manufactured home. They were able to install the two windows in my living room without removing my plantation shutters and replaced the bow type to one that opens. The sliding door in the bedroom was another challenge since it wasn’t a standard size. They were able to modify it and install the door with no problem. James and crew were professional, efficient and the cleanup was amazing! A perfect job from start to finish. I recommend them highly!!!

I’m a new homeowner and hired Airtight to replace some old single pane windows. The experience was phenomenal from start to finish. All of my calls were returned the same day. The salesman, Tom, was thorough and patient explaining my window options and answering my questions. The install crew, including James the owner, was efficient and clean replacing the windows. To make things better, the Anlin windows we choose came with a lifetime warranty so when I noticed a small dent in one of the screens the screen was replaced by Anlin — no questions asked. Love that this small business is family owned and operated. Super easy and accommodating to work with. Read the rest of their awesome reviews and hire them!

Airtight installed our Milgard sliding patio door and windows. It’s a small, family business that takes pride in their work. Tom was easy to work with, gave us a fair price and provided what we needed for HOA approval. Jim (the owner) and his crew are courteous, friendly and pay attention to detail. If something isn’t right, they fix it. These were replacements, and they were able to make adjustments as needed. They were meticulous in their cleanup and washed all the windows after installation.
We highly recommend this company.

We are so excited by the windows installed this week by Airtight. The windows we replaced are the crown jewels of our ocean view home and they look fantastic. James and his crew paid attention to all the details, from proper placement to perfect caulking and finishing. We could not be more pleased. They even volunteered to trim some windows in the same room that we were not replacing at this time so that all the windows would match. Really above and beyond.
Airtight also installed a garden window in our kitchen which opens up the whole room. Everone who sees it is impressed by the obvious professionalism of the installation. (By the way, the bid we received for the work was actually lower than we received from the «big box store.») We will definitely be calling Airtight when we replace the rest of the windows in our home.

James and his crew did a great job installing a window I needed. I found James on Unilocal being new to the area and Unilocal hooked me up! I will be doing the rest of the house with Airtight.

Got new windows from Airtight. Scheduled an appointment and received the quote on that same visit. The installation was quick and clean. Their Anlin windows are far superior to Milgard. We love our windows.

They did a great job replacing our windows and sliders. Our house is old and has shifted over the years so they had their work cut out for them. But, it came out extremely well. James put in new trim as needed and his finish work was precise. It was a careful and well done installation. They didn’t rush but rather, did it right. Each day they left the house clean and took the old windows. As far as Anlin windows go, I hadn’t even heard of them before I called Airtight but that’s just because they aren’t a mass-​market brand. As such, they’ve maintained their quality instead of cutting corners. These are very nice, well-​manufactured windows. At the same time, they’re cost-​competitive. I recommend Airtight without hesitation.

Great customer service. These guys know their business.

I have used Airtight on several occasions. I was originally impressed that they carry something besides Milgard!!! People seem to think this is the only window choice, but after research, I am much more impressed by Anlin windows. I think it is worth looking at options and nice to have a company that has a choice!
I got nothing but friendly, courteous prompt service and competitive prices. I got other quotes from local companies and was very pleased how the salesman worked with me.
I was originally going to just put in windows, but decided on siding too. The house was over 20 years old, and not only needed painting but just all around looked «shabby», After they showed me pictures and explained vinyl siding, it made perfect sense. Now my house looks brand new!!! I never have to paint! I merely hose it down !!! Between the new windows and the siding, my energy bill has dropped significantly and it has a whole new fresh look.
I was also amazed that they left the job site clean!!! That has not been my experience with contractors in the past.
Overall, out of the companies that I have worked with in Santa Cruz, I would definitely use Airtight again and recommend them to anyone. I think more people need to know there are windows besides Milgard and was so glad that Airtight offered Anlin as an alternative. KUDOS!!!

This is a consummately professional outfit. When I needed a contractor to install a copper ceiling in our Enoteca in Los Gatos (Enoteca La Storia) I called James the owner. It was a once in a lifetime installation. The 24“X 24″ solid copper panels were pressed on a machine from the period using an original 1930’s art deco stamp. Each panel was hand nailed by Jim himself wearing white cotton gloves so he didn’t leave behind finger prints. It’s a rare masterpiece. If you need a reference you can see the ceiling at 416 North Santa Ave in Los Gatos. I can’t say enough about their level of professionalism. They are on time and as honest as it gets,
