For windows, try Pelican

[CA renter]

For windows, try Pelican Windows and Doors. They did a lot of work for us on our remodel and addition, and were very professional and fair.

As for dishwashers, we have this Kitchen Aid:

I was looking for a dishwasher with:

-a hard food disposer
-high-temp (sanitary) wash
-heated dry
-direct-feed upper wash arm (though in this link, it doesn’t mention it; we have an earlier model…if interested, ask them specifically about it)
-quiet

We use it often — twice a day is not uncommon — and have not had any problems. We even plan to get a second one in the near future as our kitchen is plumbed for two dishwashers.
