Wood Windows

A modest, yet exquisitely laid-out and continually improved upon and exquisitely maintained home up on the Burlingame area hillside.

Time for a well thought-out touch of architectural personality right across the prominent face of the home.

More cosmetic, or architectural than utilitarian, our client wants to replace the existing window assembly…

…with a new Marvin wood-clad sliding patio door assembly with flanking Marvin Double-Hung windows. We also replaced several other window assemblies with new Marvin wood-clad windows, but this was the centerpiece of the project.

Everything being thought out and carefully ordered with the help of Portland Millwork’s Brian Dana, we were able to stay within the constraints of the original rough-opening width.

An important part of the project included our installation of structural blocking being installed into the walls that provided the…

…necessary anchorage for the installation of our wrought-iron Juliet Balcony. Remember, you can click on the photos to enlarge them.

Due to the expertise & skill of David Schlicker Art Glass, we were able to install art-glass inserts into the top-sash of the flanking double-hungs that replicated the same design as some glass in the original overhead garage door directly below. Go to www.davidschlicker.com

Unfortunately for our “After-Shot” photos, the original cloth awning structure somewhat hampers the light that might otherwise shine through to highlight this classy architectural detail. As well as somewhat hiding it from view on the exterior (see next photo).

Nonetheless, this was a classy improvement that proportionately reflects the classy client who patiently worked with us as we researched the various options with her as she figured out what her preferences would be.
