Yes, you can replace windows in a historic home without losing its architectural character. To maintain your home’s integrity, new units must closely match the original design, color, texture, and materials. This is especially critical for street-facing primary elevations, where exact matches for materials and designs are often required.

We recommend several strategies to ensure a perfect match:

• Custom-Sized Units: Historic homes rarely feature standard openings. We utilize custom-sized units that fit your original openings exactly, which preserves the original trim and avoids the need for unsightly infill panels.
• Matching Profiles: We can use modern materials like fiberglass muntins or simulated divided lites that duplicate the size, shape, and position of the original window profiles while providing superior durability.
• Mock-ups: For primary elevations, three-dimensional mock-ups serve as the gold standard for testing visual matches before fabrication begins.

Our Design Build Services provide a single point of accountability throughout this process. We manage everything from evaluating your home’s architectural character to navigating the permitting and historic commission reviews required in Centennial and the Denver metro area.

Please note that project outcomes and timelines may vary based on site conditions, material availability, and unforeseen issues. Let us help you get your project started by coordinating the custom fabrication and installation of windows that honor your home’s heritage while meeting modern energy standards.
