The next step after the roof is on is to install the windows and doors. They are some of the most important and overlooked parts of a home. They need to provide security, safety, light, fresh air, protection from the elements, and still be energy efficient. Over the many years I have been in the construction industry, I have watched new technology develop, companies come and go, new materials and methods emerge, and a greater variety of options to choose from. A leader over the years in these changes has been Andersen Windows. I have had the opportunity to visit their research and technology center nine times, and have always been amazed at the products they were developing, and in the patience they showed in making sure they were worthy of the Andersen name and the customers who buy them, before they would offer them on the market. This, along with the fact that they have one of the best warranty and support programs in the industry are reasons I use Andersen. They are the best windows in the world, and have been used in 100% of my homes. Dean Beyer from Brunsell Lumber was the window supplier.
The entry systems in this year’s home came from ThermaTru, thru Angie Kieta at Alside Supply. They are a great door, which offers many options, styles and choices for creating the most appeal. The front entry system consists of a 3’0x8’0 FiberClassic door with two 1’2x8’0 sidelights to match. The garage is a two panel fire door, which matches the interior doors, and the back door in the lower level is a full light door bringing light into the family room.
