Atlanta Replacement Doors


Seems that doors are top priority for Atlanta homeowners in 2007. If you're looking to replace a door that has been rotted or just doesn't suit your house any more, Atlanta Area Window and Door Co. can help.

We find that homeowners in Atlanta find it very important to be sure that the front of their home looks exquisite and welcoming but also energy efficient. Believe it or not, doors with proper insulation not only beautify a home, but give it a much need boost in energy conservation.

Often times, we replace wood doors that are falling apart and allowing drafts and heat in and out of the home year round with doors that are properly insulated and improving the energy quality of the home. Fiberglass and steel doors have become the popular choice lately because of their resistance to rot, paintable surface, and their aesthetic look.

Check us out today and see how we can help you with a brand new front door. Keep Atlanta Area Window and Door in mind when looking for replacement vinyl windows, double hung windows, or even gutter cleaning and installation.

Energy Efficient Replacement Windows


One of the goals that is most important to us at Atlanta Area Window and Door, is helping make Atlanta homes more energy efficient. Yes, by installing replacement windows and replacement doors for the last 25 years we have helped improve the quality and appearance of many homes throughout metro Atlanta. However, during that time we have also helped Atlanta homeowners cut down heating and cooling costs by installing highly efficient replacement windows and doors.

Like many other window installers in metro Atlanta, we install vinyl replacement windows that are double paned and equipped with low-e and argon. However, unlike many window companies, we also install wood windows that are just as energy efficient. In so doing, homeowners in more traditional luxury homes in Atlanta are able to preserve a particular style and yet still vastly improve their energy conservation.

Like so many homes in metro Atlanta, builders install wood single paned windows to keep material costs down at construction. To many builders, windows are an oversight, a necessary commodity that simply lets light into the house so a resident will not feel trapped in a prison. Yet, single paned, clear glass windows, offer no insulation value at all! Zero! All you have is a pane of thin glass between you and the blistering Atlanta heat each summer. Not only that but is that thin piece of glass supposed to keep heat from escaping your house in the winter time?

Think about how many dollars are wasted everyday by poorly insulated windows. Every home that has clear glass windows (single or double paned) have an insulation value (also called R Value) of 1 or less. If you made the investment to improve your home by installing replacement windows that are double paned with low-e and argon or krypton gas, you have already quadrupled your energy savings! Your R Value has shot up from a zero or 1 to a 4 by making a simple investment in replacement windows. Now throw in a third pane of glass and you're looking at 10 times the energy efficiency! What kind of difference would you see in your home's heating and cooling bill in one month if you've made your home 10 times more energy conserving?

Now we already talked about all those dollars that were being wasted. Now how about all those dollars that are being saved by simply making your home more energy efficient with replacement windows. It adds up month after month and you're helping improve the quality of your environment for long time to come. If that wasn't enough incentive, Energy Star offers a tax credit to households that improve the energy quality of your home.

Here at Atlanta Area Window and Door energy conservation is vitally important to us because it's so important to our economy, our future, and our world. We'd like to help you by installing energy efficient replacement window and replacement doors. You can find out more about our company and our goals to help conserve energy at Atlantawindows.com

Atlanta: Vinyl Double Hung Windows to Wood Casements


Most homeowners in Atlanta these days are looking to replace old single paned, rotted, clear glass windows with vinyl windows. And vinyl is a good choice. It's a cost effective, energy efficient choice and the best part is, vinyl windows don't rot and look great.

However, oftentimes we run into the customer who has and wants to retain a more traditional look. Enter the wood replacement window.

Unlike many other window and door companies in Atlanta, we actually sell and install wood windows almost as often as vinyl windows. Just last week I helped a lady get a pair of wood casement windows installed in her home. She's living in a beautiful old home in Atlanta that she's remodeling for her and her family's move down from North Carolina. We also sell a great number of wood sash replacements for customers who don't necessarily need a full window unit but need low-e , double paned, insulated glass in their home.

So remember there are a variety of solutions to the challenges you face while improving your home. Our sales staff at Atlanta Area Window and Door we does not enter into a home with any agenda other than to make sure each homeowner gets exactly what they want and need installed in their home.

It won't be long before the leaves are falling and the gutters are getting clogged up again. I don't know about you, but cleaning gutters has always been one of my worst experiences while maintaing my home. The beauty of having Leafproof at my house, has been never climbing and hanging on a ladder and never reaching in and scraping leaves and muck out of the gutters.

So if you're ready to guard your gutters and keep them clean throughout the upcoming fall and beyond, don't mess around on the ladder anymore. Now is a great time to get Leafproof gutter guards installed. At Atlanta Area Window and Door we've got a special price that runs through July and August. Every house under 200 linear feet of gutters can be protected for $1000. That price includes cleaning, flushing downspouts, and pitching gutters (if needed), and installing .24 gauge aluminum Leafproof to ensure you won't need to clean your gutters again.

Call today if you'd like to get your gutters protected. (770-499-8894) or email me at jaq@atlantawindows.com
