A few months later, it rained a second time with the same water intrusion. I took photos of the incomplete glueing and caulking job on the window I suspected causing the leak which was above the lower leaking window. I sent photos of the situation to Agoura Sash & Door (ASD), and made many calls, over a long period of time, to the sales person, installer, and ASD's customer service and finally the two owners: Don & Kerry Smith. ASD's management (and owners) said the installer could not come to look at, and fix the problem, because the installer no longer worked for ASD--neither did the sales person. The sales person did help a little by sending a handyman who caulked the suspected window but the gap was so wide the silicone did not stay in position. He said he would be back to finish--but never returned. NO ONE FROM AGOURA SASH & DOOR EVER CAME TO LOOK AT, OR TRY TO FIX, THE INSTALLATION.
The last thing I heard from Don Smith of ASD was when he said to me, "Too bad you did not call earlier, I was up in your area just last week playing golf, I could have stopped by."
The very last thing I heard was on Jan 6, 2015 from Kerry Smith of ASD when she said to me, "Don spoke to you in December and determined (over the phone) that the roof area at the bottom of this window is not flashed to the building penetration properly.....so it probably leaked before this window install". She further stated that "the area at the bottom of the window should be fixed by a roofing contractor."
I showed the window area to two roofing contractors who said they would love to do roofing work anywhere, but the suspected window needs to be installed correctly by a window installer.
REPEAT: NO ONE FROM AGOURA SASH & DOOR EVER CAME TO LOOK AT, OR TRY TO FIX, THE INSTALLATION--ANY PART OF IT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE of March 6, 2015; SOMEONE CAME FROM AGOURA SASH & DOOR!!! I received a concerned call from Dan Smith of ASD on Feb 27, 2015; Dan Smith was not involved in the above history, that was Don Smith. Dan said he wanted to send a knowledgeable man to assess the problem and rectify as soon as possible--and that is exactly what he did.
The window installing expert arrived on March 6, 2015 and he immediately recommended a solution, which I accepted, and he quickly completed. I am comfortable that the flashing he installed, and the urethane caulking he applied, will prevent future leaks.
He then, very efficiently, replaced the damaged wood window trim, and adjusted the sliding door latch so it can be opened by my spouse.
I am happy that Dan sent Charlie--a knowledgeable, skilled, and pleasant window expert that was obviously a problem solver--and he brought all the right tools and supplies with him--no running to Home Depot for things he forgot. Charlie is a working man that ASD can be proud to assign to their window and door customers.
More importantly Dan Smith made this customer happy with his "concern for the customer" which I really appreciated, and future customers will too.
I am changing my rating above from "D" to "B" --not an "A" because of the previous history mentioned earlier (above) that took so long to rectify.
Note: The salesman and installer for my installation are no longer employed by ASD.

We provided them with all of our records and were told that all of our vendors had been notified. After about two months our vendors began to contact us for non-payment. When we reached out to Jean Paul he assured us that all of our vendors had been notified, but when we contacted them, it turned out that NONE of them had been notified. So, for two months he had collected $450 a month and done absolutely nothing apart from deposit our monthly dues/assessment. He became very defensive, verbally abusive and rude when this was brought to his attention. Due to the fact that we were exceeding our 60 day period during which we could opt out of our contract with 30 day notice and entering into a period during which we would have to stay in our contract for a year, we requested that he extend the "trial period" so that we could be sure that they would actually contact the vendors and pay our bills. Jean Paul became enraged and quit on the spot. He then proceeded to stop all services--not that he was providing any but he even returned our monthly dues. He refused to provide us with our records and kept over $2000 of the HOA's monies with no explanation other than he was charging us for an additional two months. It looks like we will now have to take him to small claims to get our money back. So, avoid at all costs. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a property management company and I've owned several condos and know that there are plenty of less than reliable ones out there. But to outright keep over $2000 of our association's money is nothing less than common thievery.

Today, June 30, 2011, we received email from Archstone containing the invoice from Salinas, Inc.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Lompoc, CA
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
