Accent Window Systems
HOA & Property Management Window Replacement in San Jose
Multi-building window and door replacement, counted, specified, phased, and installed by our own crews.
As long as you're on the job, we're on the job.
The argument
A community project is a budget problem first
It is answered with an accurate opening count, a spec that will still exist in year three, and phasing that matches the reserve - not a price per window. Boards vote on numbers they can defend at the membership meeting. Managers need a packet that survives contractor bids and the questions that come after the vote - not a spreadsheet that falls apart when phase two starts. The work has to hold up after the handoff, not just win a vote.
A 5% count error on a 200-opening property is not recoverable later. Under-counting burns the reserve mid-phase and forces a second assessment conversation nobody wanted. Over-counting locks capital that never needed to move and slows other capital work. We walk, count, and write the schedule by building and unit before anyone prices a single opening.
The bid packet is the document the board can vote on and the contractor can hold. Spec stays available through later phases so matching does not collapse mid-project. Lead times and delivery windows sit next to quantities so residents and parking are not an afterthought. That is the argument for starting with Accent before the first contractor bid lands.

How it runs
Six steps
- 01
Walkthrough & count
We walk the community and verify openings by building and unit. The count is the budget foundation - not a spreadsheet guess from an old reserve study.
- 02
Specification
We specify a manufacturer and series that will still exist when later phases release, so matching does not collapse mid-project.
- 03
Bid packet
A written packet the board can vote on: schedules, quantities by phase, lead times, and contact routing for the job.
- 04
Phasing
Phasing is designed against the reserve and site access before the order goes in - residents home, parking finite.
- 05
Order & staging
Order, staging, and delivery windows land in the packet so material is not sitting in courtyards for weeks.
- 06
Install & warranty
Our crews install and hand off warranty documentation so the board and managers have a clean closeout.

FAQ
Property questions
Do we need a contractor first?
No - the count has to exist before anyone can bid, and we can install.
How far ahead should we start?
Slow months. Scope in February, install in the dry season. Start in June and you are fighting everyone for the same production slots.
Can you match an earlier phase?
We work from what was installed and what is still available in production - then we tell you honestly what can match.
Do you supply single-pane?
We can source it; we discourage it - it breaks in transit and becomes a schedule risk.
Who do we talk to?
John day to day. Tony on scope and pricing. Request a bid packet and both are notified.
