What California Deluxe Windows does

California Deluxe Windows (CDW) is a vertically integrated custom manufacturer and installer of vinyl windows and doors, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Chatsworth, California. The company designs, fabricates, and installs all products in-house using its own factory-trained employees (no subcontractors), producing a broad portfolio that includes double-hung, single-hung, sliding, casement, bay, bow, garden, curved, and specialty-shape vinyl windows, plus French doors, bi-fold doors, sliding glass doors, and newer lines such as Liquid Wood Windows and Wood Look Doors. Core technology centers on solid uPVC vinyl extrusions (up to 40% thicker walls than competitors), computer-controlled glass cutting and vinyl welding, fusion-welded frame corners, and patented features including a co-extruded triple durometer glazing system and a proprietary French-door handle clipping system; products carry ENERGY STAR and California Title 24 certifications and are tested to ASTM F588-85 forced-entry standards. CDW operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model: customers schedule free in-home consultations, receive quote-based pricing, and are served through four company-owned showrooms in Chatsworth, Santa Clara, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, with phone sales (866-460-5444) and an online payment portal (including ACH and BitPay). Its customer base is primarily residential homeowners across California, Nevada, and Arizona, with a smaller commercial segment; the company claims to have served thousands of homeowners over 30+ years and holds a 4.3/5 Google rating and 4/5 Angie's List rating.
