Imagine, if you can, an experience that leaves you exclaiming: “why can’t everyone do this for us?” We hear it all the time. Our customers leave our store knowing that we applied all our expertise and effort to help them achieve genuine value — the best selection of products and features at the lowest possible price.

Here’s how we do it: we listen.

We actively listen to discover what you value. The creative process of designing a home is a collaborative one that involves architects, designers, builders, decorators, suppliers, friends and family. It often leaves the owners exhausted and confused.

We occupy a unique role in this process. First, we focus exclusively on a few product lines unlike many of our competitors. We can offer genuine expertise.
Second, we are committed to:

  • a sincere concern for each customer
  • a strong desire to help others achieve their goals
  • and an absolute commitment to do what is best for you

Once the details that matter most to you are satisfied, we apply what we’ve learned in our field to propose alternatives to reduce your cost. We call it value engineering — it is like “having your cake and eating it, too.”

We start by doing a “base bid” of your drawn plans.

Next we review the plans for —

code compliance?

  • emergency egress from sleeping quarters
  • requirements for safety glass in bath and other areas
  • Design Pressure (DP) ratings for your wind zone
  • and impact glass for hurricane-prone areas

accuracy in plans?

  • elevations
  • floor plans
  • and window and door schedules for consistency

energy efficiency?

  • energy usage
  • comfort

noise-control options?

  • for skylights
  • for road traffic

sun damage-control options?

  • protective glass can reduce fading up to 83 percent

traffic flow?

  • usability of windows, doors
  • convenience

ventilation?

  • for allergy concerns
  • for fresh air

daylighting?

  • one or two light sources per room
  • transoms
  • skylights

architectural integrity?

  • and appropriateness
