New materials are making siding a great choice for energy efficiency, best control, and more. Window materials and options have changed a lot over the years as energy codes have become more strict, and as utility rates have climbed. Generically, they are white vinyl double pane windows, usually with a low-e (low emissivity) coating that will help control heat flow in and out of the home.
Be aware that there are regional differences and climate zones that help determine what would be a good product for your area. This is best shown as the Energy Star Map. Here in California, the minimum required energy rating is called the Title 24 Section 6 requirement. Most window manufacturers' meet this criteria because it is pretty easy to achieve these minimum ratings.
A savvy dual pane window consumer would be wise to find a window that exceeds these rating for the maximum energy savings. These are most often what a new home builder installs in new residential developments. Often these are ordered as "stock" sizes and are made in bulk, and are installed over the framing and moisture barrier before the final exterior of the home.

I had all my windows, patio door, front door, side garage door, and siding relaced by Good News Home Improvements. My home is 30 years old. It had all the orginal windows and t-111 siding that was in very bad condition. Lon was very helpful on helping me decide what new siding to put on my house. I chose LP Smartsiding. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our home looks beautiful. The work crew were very polite, and worked very hard. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend them for any window and siding replacement. They were very competitive with there pricing. The inspector

Good news did a wonderful job on my property, very mindful of the cleanup. A year or so after I called them because there was a small space that was opened and a bird decided to make a nest in there. That gave the bird access to my garage and it would dive bomb me when I would go in. I called them and explained my predicament and they were out and covered that hole after the babies had left the nest. They were wonderful I didn't know if they would come and do it. They were very willing and I didn't even have to be home when they came. I would recommend good news not only for the impeccable work

I think this is my first review I have ever written. That is how much I really like this company. Lon, the owner, was so personable and seemed really excited for us, and put a lot into helping us get exactly what we wanted. The cost of our windows was very reasonable for good quality. The installation was so efficient, and everything was clear. Very impressed. I hope we get to work with them again for other projects.

In 2018 I was desperately in need of a whole house siding replacement. It was my first MAJOR house project and I was very apprehensive...I did my research so I knew ALL the questions to ask and I,asked them....over and over again. Some companies were a little put out to be So scrutinised but the Good News reps just smiled, pulled out the paperwork and walked me through everything. When I mentioned how other companies had reacted, my rep said that it was good to work with someone so invested.
In the end, my siding was replaced and some windows and doors were upgraded. They were quick, efficient

Not only are they the most honest window company out there, they're also the most affordable by far. They guarantee their work and the sell you the best windows at a fraction of the coat of those other guys. I have used them twice and never have a regretted using them. Call them, you will be amazed by how much you will save for the same windows those other guys offer and falsely claim that they are the only ones to have them.

We had a great experience with Good News Home Improvement - a huge thanks to Lon and his team! Great quality, fair pricing and their customer service is top notch. Our installers Brian and Travis left the area cleaner than when they arrived and made the entire process seamless. I would definitely recommend them!

We enjoyed working with Good News Home Improvements and recommend them to other homeowners. Lon was very informative and patient during our decision making process. Competitive pricing, superior technology and manufacturing processes led us to choose the Anlin windows but the high quality installation by Brian’s team was an added bonus. Brian was quick and efficient even while solving unanticipated problems our “unique” house presented. We love our new windows and the dramatic improvement they made to our home.
