Window Replacement for Corona Homes
When you live in Corona your windows deal with a little bit of everything. There’s strong winds from the canyon pushing up against them as well as triple digit summers and a freeway that never stops moving. So if your windows are 30 years or older then you’ve likely noticed things like glass fogging up or your AC putting in a lot of extra work to keep certain rooms cool, which means it’s a good time to consider window replacement.
Dove Glass & Mirror has done window installation in Corona, CA since 1989 when Chuck Beck started the business after serving in the military. He started the company as a way to do honest work at a fair price and that’s how we continue to run things today. We’re a mobile service crew that comes straight to your door to measure and scope so you can get the best fit, and in most cases we can finish a job in one visit.

Signs It’s Time for New Windows
Windows don’t usually fail all at once and it can creep up on you over time. Some of the signs Corona homeowners tell us about include:
- Foggy glass between panes
- Rattling in the wind
- Rooms that won’t cool down
- Patio doors that stick
- Dust along the sills
- Traffic noise from inside
If you’re noticing a few of these around the house then replacing the windows will get you a lot further than fixing them one at a time.
Window Installation and Replacement Considerations for Corona Homeowners
Santa Ana Canyon Winds in Sierra Del Oro
Sierra Del Oro sits at the mouth of the Santa Ana Canyon meaning the homes there will feel the wind before anyone else and get hit the hardest. If you have older windows with worn seals or loose frames then you’ve likely noticed rattling that lets dust in. We’ll instal new windows properly with a tight seal that holds up better and keeps your house quieter.
Cutting Summer AC Costs in South Corona
South Corona can get some of the hottest temps in the city while older glass windows allow that heat directly into your home making it impossible to keep the house cool. Low-E3 glass has a triple layer coating that blocks a lot more heat than standard glass while still letting the daylight in. It also meets California’s Title 24 energy rules for new windows so you’re covered there too, and your AC won’t have to work nearly as hard on triple digit days.
Traffic Noise in Green River and Coronita
If you live in Green River or Coronita then the 91 and the 15 are never too far away and commuter traffic goes from early morning into the night. But your builder-grade windows aren’t made for keeping noise out and you’ve probably noticed by now. Our Dual pane glass is made for sound reduction and can make all the difference in bedrooms and living rooms that face the freeway.
HOA Approvals in Eagle Glen and Dos Lagos
Neighborhoods like Eagle Glen and Dos Lagos have strict guidelines for things like frame color and grid style so picking the right window can be a bit trickier than other locations. But we help you pick the right window from the start to make the approval process much easier and will give you plenty of options to choose from so you don’t have to be kept in a box.
Retrofit Windows for Corona Stucco Homes
Corona homes built in the 80s and 90s tend to have stucco around the windows and many homeowners fear that a full-frame install means cutting into the stucco and having to pay for patching and painting afterward. But luckily our retrofit windows have a flush-fin frame that fits into the existing opening and covers the edge of the old frame so your stucco stays untouched for a quick and easy installation process.
Sun and Heat on Hillside Homes Along Foothill Parkway
Houses along the Foothill Parkway get a lot of sun throughout the day and there’s not much shade to fight it off. Then that heat gets trapped inside the home while the UV continues to fade your floors and furniture over time. We have options for glass that block more UV and heat to keep those rooms cooler and protect what’s inside without you having to give up the view.
Replacing Sliding Patio Doors
Your sliding patio door is one of the biggest glass panes in the house and if it’s single-pane or the seals have failed then it’s letting in the same amount of heat as multiple windows. If you notice it sticking everytime you open it then a new double-pane slider can take care of that and the heat so you get a door that glides easily and keeps the heat out.
Window Types We Replace
We work with all kinds of windows and doors in Corona and what we recommend depends on what you have now:
- Dual-pane windows usually need replacing once the seal fails and fog shows up
- Single-pane windows are still in older homes and swapping them out helps a lot
- Metal sash windows depend a lot on the frame so we’ll check for you
If it’s just a broken pane then you can take a look at our glass repair page too.
Corona Window Replacement FAQs
What’s the difference between low-E and low-E3 glass?
Both have a thin coating that reflects heat but low-E3 has three layers instead of one or two so it blocks more of the sun’s heat. In a place as hot as Corona that extra layer can make a noticeable difference come summer.
Can you replace my patio door along with my windows?
Yes we can. We replace sliding patio doors as well as windows and doing them at the same time keeps the look consistent throughout your house.
Do retrofit windows look different from the old ones?
They have a slightly wider frame since they fit over the edge of the old one but most people don’t even notice once they’re in. They also come in different styles and colors to match the rest of your home.
