Have you noticed your windows and doors starting to show signs of their age? Are they no longer performing as optimally as they once did? Like all good things, windows and doors eventually begin to fail in their day to day function and purpose. Years of seasonal sun and exposure will weaken the materials and structural integrity of these important home products. If your home is experiencing such problems, it may be time to install replacement windows and doors in Lake Oswego, OR.
In recent decades, the window and door industry has progressed at a rapid pace. The material and engineering technology driving these advancements has evolved in innovative ways, creating new possibilities to maximize energy efficiency and performance. Consumers and building owners also appreciate the innovative solutions in the industry, with custom window creation and functional style for every need.
Whether you’re looking to replace your existing window and doors, or you’re building a new home, here are some of the benefits you can expect when you buy modern windows and doors:
1. Financial Savings
Home energy utilities are one of those bills you can never pay off. But with the right upgrades, you can definitely lower your bill. Homeowners that buy replacement windows and doors crafted for efficiency and durability will immediately experience the benefits of installation. The impact on monthly energy cost savings can be substantial, adding up to thousands of dollars as the years go by. You’ll also notice that your HVAC system won’t need to work as hard to maintain your preferred internal climate. This is also a long-term savings benefit, since your HVAC won’t require as much in repair and maintenance costs over time.
2. Improved Home Efficiency
New products, such as Marvin windows and Marvin doors, and Milgard are incredibly efficient in their performance. Year in and year out, they minimize heat loss in the winter and cool air exchange in the summer. After installing replacement windows and doors in Lake Oswego, OR, your home will use much less energy than it does now. You can feel good about doing your part to reduce your carbon impact on the planet.
3. Industry Grade Security and Safety
Older windows and doors can be both a safety risk and security concern. Thieves and opportunists understand the weakness of older products and often exploit homes that are vulnerable in this manner. Replacement doors and windows are designed and fabricated to modern security standards to repel forcible entry or resist tampering. These improvements act to prevent intruders from entering your home from the outside. Yet at the same time, today’s windows and doors have user-friendly hardware and lock systems from the inside. In an emergency, it’s important that people can escape without unwarranted difficulty.
For those who would like additional security measures, modern windows can be fitted with security glass. This glass is interlaid with a transparent laminate. If a would-be home intruder tries to break this glass, they will be disappointed to find the glass can be damaged, but will not crumble and give way. These windows, although shattered in place, remain an effective barrier to entry.
4. Custom Work and Personalization
These days, your windows and doors can be custom fabricated to include preferred elements of design, style, and architectural flair. Craft made windows and doors can be created for frame color, glass quality, insulation value, shape, size, material, and other specifications. All of this can be done without sacrificing security or energy performance. A qualified professional can discuss these options in detail.
Stock windows and doors are more than adequate for most applications; however, if there is a particular window that is odd-sized, or is a beautiful showpiece, customization could be an excellent solution to meet your needs. Custom entry doors are also an excellent way to personalize a home.
5. Elevated Quality of Living
The look and feel of a home or workspace can be renewed when old doors and windows are upgraded with modern replacements. The human eye is drawn to light and visibility. That’s why external openings of sunlight, air, and access have an immense impact on the look and feel of a home or office building. Whether glancing outside through a window, or walking across the threshold of an entry door, these portals subtly affect the quality of our lives as we interact with them day-to-day.

We’re all sharing a unique moment in history which requires careful action and prudent decision-making – and for many of us, perhaps more time spent at home than usual!
If that time has reminded you that replacement doors and/or windows would greatly enhance your comfort and quality of life, please know that we remain open for business.
At present, we are carefully and thoughtfully moving forward here with jobs as planned – measuring projects, placing orders, taking deliveries, and scheduling installations as customer comfort levels allow (understanding that those can change on a daily basis).
Our entire team is committed to following the CDC’s safety guidelines and social distancing protocols in all of our internal and external interactions.
We are doing jobs with one- and two person crews, installing plastic enclosures for work areas, avoiding sharing tools, using trained designated staff for material runs, minimizing engagement with homeowners, and – we trust you won’t take it personally – we are not shaking hands!
The health and safety of our customers and our staff is top of mind at all times, and we are taking this crisis very seriously while also doing our best to support ongoing low-risk economic activity in our community, state and nation.
Please let us know if you have questions or concerns, and we look forward to hearing from you.
