First, let me say this would be a 5 star review, but I really have nothing to compare it to, so.. 4 star. I still think this place is great for what I experienced!\r
\r
After hearing the commercial on KFI for the umptenth time, I finally decided ""Why not!?"" and gave American Vision Windows a call and left a message on their voicemail. I got a phone call the same day on when they could send someone over for an estimate.\r
\r
Cybil came by on-time by my standards when estimating LA traffic and even had this pretty nice demonstration unit. I found her to be non-pushy and I liked what she had to say and the pricing just seemed right for what I was getting. After about an hour of chatting and seeing how the Anlin windows operated and looked, we shook hands and I made out a small deposit check.\r
\r
It might've been about 2 weeks (?) and someone came out to do the official measurements. I wasn't home, but my husband was and he found them to be professional and quick. Wrote the 2nd check to get the windows ordered.\r
\r
I'd guess about 4 weeks later I got a phone call asking me if they could come and install all the windows the NEXT DAY. I was pretty surprised at that! I took it, and everyone showed up on time and finished in one day (I only had 4 windows + 1 slider).\r
\r
The reason I waited so long to write this review was because during the install, the installers noticed a small defect in one of the windows, and I was waiting to see how that replacement went before I got in on a final review. Well, I can tell you that the installers put in the order for a new window, and about 2 weeks after that, Lucas came in and replaced the window by himself in about 5 minutes!\r
\r
Now, about the windows. I love them. I live along a road that has a 24 hour bus running all night/day long (24 hours duh!), and the newly found silence is something I had no real idea I was missing. It is truly something that amazes me every day and every weekend when I wake up to silence! 6 years with all that noise, now I'm getting used to it being quiet.\r

I had a faulty installed sliding glass door, and this new door is just fantastic. It slides with the push of a finger, oh and the installers put this nice trim up around the siding, something I was not expecting and it looked great. No more drafts. The bedrooms stay much cooler after the AC has been on. My only complaint is that it keeps the heat from my shower in the bedroom too! But, that is only good news when it comes to the winter time.\r
\r
Long enough review really. TL;DR version is that I recommend going with this place if you just want to get some great windows and not have to worry or hassle when things go wrong. You shake hands, you pay, you wait a few weeks, you get fancy new windows that block sound and retain cool and heat. 'Nuff said!
