Creating New Openings

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.

Our client wants to remove the existing window assembly, create new rough-openings and upgrade with new Marvin wood-clad double-hung windows flanking a sliding patio door assembly.

Although even the sliding door assembly is being used more as a unique window, than a door, because the balcony we will be installing is primarily decorative in nature. We were also contracted to replace 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 get the products ordered to the specifications necessary to fit our new rough-openings as needed.

An important part of the project included our installation of structural blocking being installed into the walls behind the siding 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.
