Northwood, Iowa Homeowners hire Midwest Construction to install custom built EcoSmart Replacement Windows


Chad Arndt: Project Manager met with the homeowners to discuss the possibility of installing new windows in their home. The home is brick and the homeowners wanted to confirm the windows could be custom built to fit into the openings to make sure they could still use the interior window trims/woodwork.

Chad sat down with the homeowners and explained the difference between a custom built window like EcoSmart and the windows the local lumberyard has to offer. The lumber yard distributes some name brand windows that come in standard size openings. The problem is the windows off of the shelf would need some retro fitting and that means new trim, patching in sheet rock, and giving the window on the outside wider trim than original. After those considerations, the homeowners took a look at the warranties wood window manufacturers give, 10 year on the insulated glass and 20 year on the window frames and parts.

Chad showed the homeowners the custom built EcoSmart window manufactured by Great Lakes windows. He pointed out the features, benefits, and advantages the EcoSmart window carries including the lifetime warranty on the complete window frames, sashes, parts, and the unprecedented lifetime seal failure and glass breakage warranty.

First the the window openings were inspected for any soft or rotten exterior sills or casings and replaced if and were needed. Then the window openings were insulated with fiberglass and then sealed with silicone to prevent any air or water infiltration. The exterior sills and casings were covered with custom bent aluminum PVC coil stock to give the homeowners a truly maintenance free openings.
