Windows/Doors

 

This residence was built in the mid-1980's in the Mallords Cove Lane area and featured a "Julliet's" balcony. The challenge that we encountered here involved a common occurrence that exists during the construction and installation of these type of balconies. Specifically, the original construction technique had lead to many years of water damage, which occurred in both the master bedroom and eventually spread to the family room below.

Since it was our recommendation and the wish of our client not to eliminate the beautiful views of the pond, we elected to replace their wood patio door with a new angle bay window which also included a unique interior window seat.


We also found that the two windows which were first installed over the kitchen sink area were failed and lacked originality.


We therefore decided to install the new windows with a pristine look that extended out from the house, which created a more dramatic appearance. Moreover, the additional ledge space created in front of the sink area inside the house added both beauty and functionality.


Our clients 15 year old nine foot wood patio door unit was rotted, water damaged and in need of replacement.

Their choice was to replace the existing nine-foot unit with a similar wood patio door unit. Today's door construction technologies are improved from the mid 1980''s and will provide many years of warmth and beauty.


Pictured here is a typical exterior steel door unit with-in close proximity to The Standish Shores. Rust has developed on the exterior of this five-year-old door unit in part to a lack of finished paint being applied after installation.

Although we recommend fiberglass replacement door units near the seacoast, this steel replacement door unit incorporates one large panel of glass for an unobstructed view of their rear yard and children's play area. The unique feature of this door unit is the carefree levelour mini blind located between the panes of glass.


Our finished installation also includes a white aluminum storm door for additional weather protection.
