Transforming a classic bungalow

When the homeowners of this classic SE Portland bungalow decided to remodel, they called us in to help. We suggested new arched divided lite windows to mimic the home’s eyebrow porch roof. By using Marvin® wood windows, and paying careful attention to the window trim detail, the transformation was timeless – as if it had always been that way.

Turning dreary into dreamy

Before becoming a sun-filled sanctuary, this room was dark and dreary. A single, small window was to blame. The Classic Sash & Door team suggested transforming the room by adding Marvin® French doors and casement windows. The previous classic window trim details were matched via wide fir casings. This created a seamless flow with the rest of the house.

Ranch redone

The owners of this ’60s-era ranch not only found the native, single-pane aluminum windows “old and ugly,” but cold and drafty too. The windows were also a far cry from the traditional look the homeowners craved. Kevin Betker of Classic Sash & Door suggested Marvin® Ultimate Double Hung windows with a classic 6-over-1 “cottage style,” as well as a stool and apron trim to further add to the traditional look.

Historic change replaces flawed past

One of the most dramatic transformations we’ve ever completed ended happily with the addition of Marvin® wood windows with custom leaded glass. Prior to the wood windows, the homeowners lived with historically incorrect aluminum windows that hid the home’s beauty and soul. What made this transformation spectacular was the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the finish trim work: wide fir casings, period-style molding details, and a stain that is authentic to the arts & crafts style of home.

From unused garage to green home office

How do you go from garage to green? By converting an unused garage into a cozy home office using cork and Marmoleum® floors, clay plaster walls, and a ceiling lined in reclaimed fir. The homeowners contacted Classic Sash & Door because they knew the green transformation wouldn’t be complete without Marvin® energy-efficient wood windows and doors to add beauty as well as heating and cooling efficiency.
