Q: Why shouldn't I buy standard size windows and doors?

A: Installing standard-size windows and doors may require additional stucco work to the exterior-and drywall or other materials to the interior-all of which can give your home a major "patched-up" appearance. Most manufacturers will not charge you "extra" for custom sizing. Custom-manufactured windows and doors are the best value in the long run because installation is faster and little or no "cosmetic" work to the inside or outside of your home is required. Moreover, an exact fit means better waterproofing and better thermal performance which result in lower energy bills. We order custom-manufactured windows and doors to fit your home perfectly, making your home more energy efficient and helping to curb fuel bills. They also allow you to "custom design" your windows and doors. There are several options available to you that affect appearance, performance and functionality.
