Replacement Windows and Doors for Historic and Older Homes

If you own an older home, especially one with special historic significance or details, you face unique challenges if you need to replace the original windows and doors in your home. You’d like to retain as much of the historical accuracy and architectural integrity as you can, but is that possible? At times owners of older homes prefer to repair the original windows and doors, but if they are damaged or severely deteriorated, that may not be an option. However, the good news is that many manufacturers of high-quality replacement windows and doors offer a wide range of standard size and custom-made doors and windows which reflect the architectural styles of many historic periods.
