Replacing windows in a San Francisco condominium

A reader asks:

How easy is it to replace the windows in my condominium?

Our reply:


In most condos you have to refer to the CC&R's to find out the answer since there are stipulations as to what will need HOA approval. Usually you can replace them if they are the same and they don't change the exterior look of the condo. So if you want to replace the single pane with double-paned (to make your unit quieter) and they look the same it is probably ok.

You might check with the other condo owners and see if they would also like to get new windows. If you can get a group together you might even get a better deal on the cost. Even better, it might be a common area expense for the HOA, and the cost can be shared among all of the owners.
