How to Stay Comfortable While Working from Home

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people go about their daily lives. It’s also changed work environments around the country. Many offices have shut down and told their employees that working from home is the new norm. If you are working from home, you’ll want to be as comfortable as possible. Our team at Lifetime Windows and Doors can help. Here’s how.

#1: We can update your space.
Did you know that your windows play a key role in keeping your home’s heating and cooling evenly distributed? Old, energy inefficient windows can leak outside air in. That means your heat during the fall and winter months can make its way outside and cold outside air could create cold spots in your home. That means your heating and cooling system must work harder to keep the temperatures evenly distributed. Because of that, your utility bills will likely increase. So, consider window replacement for your home! We have a variety of options that will fit your home’s unique style and most importantly, your budget.

#2: Replace your doors.
Your exterior doors are also an important part of creating a comfortable home and work environment. We carry a variety of brands including Simonton, ThermaTru, Simpson! These doors are affordably priced and can even be ordered custom. Our team of installation specialists can take a look at your current doors and make recommendations for replacement based on your style preferences and budget guidelines.

Home renovations like these will not only make the space your beautiful and comfortable, but they can help increase your home’s value! That means when it comes time to sell it, you will have a greater return. The money you spend now is well worth it, because it will create an opportunity for a easier, smoother home sale later down the road.

Patio Remodeling Tips

Spring in the Northwest is stunning. Blooming flowers, chirping birds, and mild temperatures bring people outside to relax and explore. It is also a great time to get your patio redesigned or remodeled so you can spend the next several months outdoors! When you’re ready to embark on your patio renovation, let us help!

Step #1: Think about what you need.
Look carefully at the existing patio and what you can use and what needs to be overhauled. Make a few sketches or browse some of your favorite home design publications to get some inspiring ideas.

Step #2: Plant.
Adding greenery around the patio is key to enjoying the view! Start small and work your way up. Plant some greenery around the patio, as well as some colorful flowers that can brighten up the space.  If you have a space for some long-lasting greenery, plant some vines that can weave their way over a gate or garden trellis.

Step #3: Consult with our experienced team of door and window specialists.
A new, energy efficient door that allows you to step onto the patio is the final touch that will bring everything together. Patio doors are a very important detail and they can either make or break the patio remodel. Whether it’s a classic French door, folding doors, a moving wall system, or a simple sliding glass door replacement, our team at Lifetime Windows & Doors have the options that will perfectly suit your backyard patio. Perhaps you have the space to add a new window that overlooks your backyard. We can help with that too! We are proud carriers of Milgard and Simonton products and can install a window that fits the space.

We proudly carry a variety of brands and designs that will fit your budget and home’s style. Ready to get started in your project?
