Your HOA May No Longer Control Your Window Choice
A California bill moving through Sacramento — SB 908 — would stop HOAs from blocking energy-code-compliant window replacements or dictating which manufacturer you use. Here's what it means for your home, and how San Mateo Glass can help you get ahead of it.
THE PROBLEM
What Homeowners Are Living With Today
Many HOAs approve only one or two "premium" brands like Andersen or Milgard. For homeowners, that means:
ARC denials & delays
Denied — or delayed for months — for choosing an "unapproved" manufacturer.
Paying a brand premium
Significant upcharge for a brand name, even when comparable products meet the same performance standards.
No clear answers
No straight answer on why one brand is required over another.
WHAT'S CHANGING
What Is SB 908?
Senate Bill 908 (SB 908) could make residential window replacement easier for California homeowners while addressing California Energy Code requirements.
More Window Choice
Qualifying homeowners could have greater flexibility when selecting replacement windows.
Streamlined Approvals
Qualifying replacement projects could receive more straightforward permitting treatment.
Performance Over Brand
The focus is on applicable code and performance requirements rather than simply the manufacturer name.
