Windows and Doors

Upgrade your windows to an energy efficient window to minimize heat loss or gain and maintain a more comfortable and consistent temperature inside your home.  New energy efficient windows can effectively reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling a home and save you hundreds of dollars a year in lost heating and cooling. Key characteristics of an energy efficient window:

• Most commonly double or triple glazed, meaning there are two or three layers of glass with a space between them filled with an inert gas. 
• A microscopic metallic coating on one or more glass panes that reflects heat back into the house during winter and away from the house in summer. 
• Argon or krypton gas between the glass panes, which provides better insulation than air. 
• Frames made from materials like vinyl or fiberglass that have better insulating properties than traditional wood or aluminum. 
• Proper sealing around the edges of the window to prevent air leaks. 

Upgrade your home's door to improve security, enhance energy efficiency, boost curb appeal with a fresh look, and potentially increase your home's resale value by adding a modern aesthetic. Key reasons to upgrade your door:

• Older doors can become weakened over time, making them vulnerable to forced entry; upgrading with reinforced frames and high-quality locks can significantly improve your home's security. 
• Newer doors often have better insulation, which can help reduce drafts and lower your heating and cooling bills. 
• A new door can significantly enhance your home's exterior appearance, adding to its aesthetic appeal and first impression. 
• When selling your home, a well-maintained and attractive front door can be a selling point and potentially increase the asking price. 
• Upgraded doors can also better block out external noise, creating a quieter living environment. 
• Choosing a new door allows you to customize the style, color, and hardware to match your home's design. 

 An awning is a roof-like extension that provides shade and shelter from the elements over a doorway, window, porch, or deck. Awnings are typically made of a lightweight, weather-resistant material like canvas or polyester stretched over a frame of wood, aluminum, or steel. Awnings can be fixed or retractable, and they can serve multiple purposes, including:

• Awnings can protect your outdoor furniture and house exterior from rain, wind, and snow. 
• Awnings can provide shade to reduce indoor temperatures and help lower energy costs. 
• Awnings can enhance the look of your home or building. 
• Awnings can create more functional and stylish outdoor space.
