An Eichler is defined by its glass — and we upgrade the original single-pane glazing to modern dual-pane insulated glass without losing a single line of the mid-century look.
Joseph Eichler built homes around light — floor-to-ceiling window walls, clerestory bands, sliding glass doors, and open atriums. The trade-off is that the original single-pane glazing, set in slim aluminum frames, runs hot in summer, sweats with condensation in winter, and lets in glare and street noise. We replace it with dual-pane insulated glass that solves all of that while preserving the clean, slim sightlines that make an Eichler an Eichler.
We've worked Orange County's Eichler tracts for decades — with our own installers, our own shop, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on every job. We know these homes, their framing, and the glass that belongs in them.
The Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadows tracts in the city of Orange make up the largest concentration of Eichler homes in Southern California — and they're right in our backyard.
From the dramatic window walls to the smallest clerestory pane, we re-glaze the whole envelope — matching the original proportions and keeping the frames as slim and clean as the day they were built.
Single-pane to dual-pane is the most common upgrade we do here, and it's the one you feel first: cooler rooms, no more condensation, less glare on the screen, and a noticeably quieter house.
The fastest way to ruin an Eichler is to "upgrade" it with clunky, mismatched frames that bury those famous slim sightlines. We don't do that. We spec glass and framing that hold the mid-century proportions — so the house performs like it was built in this decade and still looks like it was built in 1962.
Yes. Upgrading the original single-pane glazing to dual-pane insulated glass is the most common Eichler job we do. It cuts heat, glare, and condensation dramatically while keeping the home's original look.
Yes. We spec glass and framing that preserve the slim mid-century sightlines and original proportions. The goal is better comfort and efficiency with no loss of architectural character.
Yes — floor-to-ceiling window walls, sliding glass patio doors, clerestory and transom windows, and atrium glass. We re-glaze the entire envelope.
The Fairhaven, Fairhills, and Fairmeadows tracts in the city of Orange — Southern California's largest Eichler concentration — plus mid-century and Eichler-style homes across Orange County.
Single-pane glazing loses heat, runs hot in summer, sweats with condensation, fades furnishings, and lets in noise. Dual-pane low-E glass solves those problems while preserving the design.
