Duncan Newman, a British expatriate, moved to California in 1982, where he gained much experience in the construction and home remodeling industry, working in Rancho Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and New York. He also spent time abroad working in Canada and Spain. During that time, Duncan recognized a need for a higher level of service and while working on a multi-million dollar project he was inspired to start his own construction company.
He believed he could make a difference by offering an exceptional level of service to the average homeowner. In 1993 he opened Newman Replacement Windows to create a window company with a difference, offering high-quality products with professional in-house installation at a competitive price. The Newman Advantage was born through a vision to elevate the customer experience - to treat them like true VIP's.

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

Newman dropped the ball and couldn't pick it back up.
We hired Newman to replace our double front doors. Newman came out to measure and provide an estimate in late February 2021. They cautioned that they were scheduling installations almost 5 months out due to COVID and supply chain constraints. We understood. We signed the contract and paid the deposit in March. Someone came back out to re-measure to make sure they had the dimensions correct. Installation was scheduled for July 12. In reliance on that date, we scheduled painters to come out and paint the entire exterior starting July 13

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, wouldn’t stay up. Forgot locks window locks.
Second visit: Only installed front 2 windows. Brought wrong size for missing bathroom screen. Mis-measured chipped

Update... 3.5 Months after the initial install, our problems have been resolved. It took them several visits, including one visit from a tech from the window manufacturer (who said that the problem was Newman's fault, not theirs), but they did see the job through. So, I'm giving them a D instead of an F... Maybe a D minus for being rude to my wife on the phone

Russell came to provide a quote on two doors. He was on time and very courteous. I enjoyed speaking to him about what they could offer. Even though I changed my mind on color, he was patient. Just wish they offered a military discount, but I think their pricing was reasonable for the door they offer. Not sure if I will go with them or just buy doors and put them in myself, but they were easy to work with.
Heads up for anyone else looking at doing doors, they are backed up until Aug/Sep on their schedule (3 to 4 months), so I would jump on it now if you want something done before the holidays

We recently replaced all the windows in our home. The guys completed the job in 1 day and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely use them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for windows. Bob Ryan initially came out, took the time to explain the process and answer any question I had. No pressure for the sale, very easy to work with.

It has now been a year since my Milgard windows have been installed by Newman and I am finally ready to give my review of the experience. There are so many elements to be reviewing: customer service, showroom, sales rep, installation, issues and resolution, window quality...so it makes it difficult to put a blanket rating on the experience. Overall, however, I would give it a 4.5 rating, and definitely a solid 4 stars.
SHOWROOM: Its great to be able to see the windows in the flesh, and Kevin at the Morena location was a pleasure. He walked around with me to showed me all the differences between

As of now my sliding doors still have a 3" threshold - unsafe. I have tried working with you to no avail - please contact me to rectify this situation with doors that are ADA acceptable and safe for me. In the past you have stated you would take care of this problem with my doors. Please call or email me soon.

We've had an incredible experience with Newman Windows! We are working with Kevin and so far, we have done 6 windows of different sizes and shapes for our 1912 Craftsman home. Arrived on time, perfect, and a great price. We did the install ourselves. Thanks guys! WE LOVE OUR NEW WINDOWS!! We had no idea windows could make such an upgrade to a room.

We had Newman replace four small single-pane vintage 1980 clerestory windows with Milgard (StyleLine) double-pane windows this week. What a difference! Two Newman installers replaced the windows in about two hours, with some of the work being done on a ladder about 15 feet off the floor. They arrived on time, kept everything clean, installed everything perfectly, and we're extremely happy with the final result. These windows overlook a flat roof where 9 HVAC compressors are located, and the reduction in noise is quite noticeable. Over half of our condo building (of 36 units) has installed

Positive: Quality
Newman windows made out home look great with the installation of Milgard Tuscany Windows. I did not really know what I wanted but I knew I needed new windows to revive our old house. Newman helped me figure out what would look good with our style of house. Our house looks great just in time for Christmas

This is our second time of using Newman Replacement Windows. Years ago we had 5 windows replaced on the front of our home and they look as good today as the day they were installed. They looked and functioned so nice we decided to replace the 4 sliding glass doors on the rear of the house. Newman Replacement Windows was our only choice. The… doors were a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift to each other and we wanted them installed in time for our party (tomorrow). Tony & Junior completed the install yesterday with guidance from Augie and the doors look great. They open and close with the

Our next door neighbors recently had their whole home's windows, etc. replaced by Newman Replacement Windows, and our neighbors recommended them to us. Newman's quote was from 25 - 50% less than the other two bidders. Newman replaced five windows and one sliding glass door in our small townhouse. We are exceedingly happy with the windows for… quality; and we are very happy with the workmanship, behavior, and professionalism of the installers. The installers were punctual, and they made every effort to protect our new carpeting. When they left, you'd never know they were ever there, except

Newman has done my entire house and after one year I can report some exceptional results. We are spending less in the summer and winter on energy costs, plus the house is much quieter inside, which was such a nice surprise. We also appreciated how Newman made recommendations on changing the configuration of some of our windows and it has made such a big difference in views and airflow. They are true professionals.
