Lake Forest & Lake Forest
Lake Forest is where we live and where we work. The factory is on Pascal Way, off Lake Forest Boulevard near Dimension Drive, and most of the crew lives within twenty minutes. Many of them own homes in Foothill Ranch, Portola Hills, and Baker Ranch, and most of those homes have Golden West shutters in them, including ours.
Lake Forest homes that come to us are usually within five years of changing ownership or within five years of a remodel. The Baker Ranch new builds from the 2010s have the floor-to-ceiling glass that calls for our 48-inch panels in white plantation. The original Lake Forest Ranch homes from the 1970s have wood frames that have moved a little and need panels milled to the actual measurement. Portola Hills and Foothill Ranch tend to have a mix of the two.
We have neighbors stop by the factory on weekends without an appointment, and we have the parking for it. The showroom is open during business hours; the floor where panels are actually milled and finished is open for tours by appointment. If you live in Lake Forest, we'd rather show you the factory than send a designer to your house. We do both, and the showroom discount is the same either way.

Yes. For most Lake Forest addresses, the panels go from the finish booth onto our truck and into your house the same morning. Same-week turnarounds are normal once material is ready.
A Golden West designer comes to your Lake Forest home with samples, measures every opening, and provides a written estimate. No charge, no obligation.
