- Your windows are cracked, difficult to operate or have deteriorated frames, sashes or sills; all of which can negatively affect energy efficiency, cause water damage and attract pests
- Your windows are unstable or cannot be opened or shut completely, all of which pose safety concerns in the event of an emergency inside your home or breaking and entering attempt
All the rooms in a house have a purpose and potential mood to reflect. Remodeling offers a chance to best utilize space according to a room’s desired purpose and create its ambience; essentially, transforming a house into a home. Windows are particularly powerful remodeling tools because they affect the visual impact, ventilation and light in a room. With numerous combinations to choose from, doors also offer a way to set the tone of a room by introducing and defining its space.
