Doors & Windows Installed: Building Envelope Secured

On-site progress update: door and window installation is underway. This crucial phase seals the building envelope, boosts structural performance, and primes the home for interior systems. We’re installing Pella windows, backed by industry-leading warranty coverage that gives lasting peace of mind:

  • Non-glass components (frame, sash, hardware) are covered under a Limited Lifetime Warranty for as long as the original homeowner occupies the residence (for owner-occupied, single-family homes).

  • Standard non-laminated insulating glass carries a 20-year limited warranty.

  • Laminated glass (when used) is typically warranted for 10 years.

  • Labor costs for repairs or replacement parts are included in the warranty for the first two years.

    With Pella’s warranty structure, future homeowners benefit from robust protection across key components—and confidence that this investment is supported by long-term coverage.
