what you need to do —

  • Identify the type of doors and windows by room:

    — bay window in front and side
    — french doors open to patio
    — sky lights in attic, etc.

    Windows and exterior doors should be installed as soon as the frame is completed — it prevents vandalism and damage from weather.

    Never leave uninstalled windows laying around for extended periods — you don't want them stolen or vandalized.


  • Shop windows and doors that have the Energy Star Symbol

    They are certainly worth the extra price for those cold winters and hot summers.

    New windows have tinted panes that keep dangerous sun rays from penetrating inside the house — it will protect your interior against sun damage and reduce cooling costs.


  • Visit our Home Building Gallery for complete information on door/window types and designs.

    Define style and type by room:
