Why You Should Update Your Home This Year

Home improvements require some planning and preparation and 2019 is the right time to make those updates that you’ve been thinking about!  Starting small is a great way to go with small touches that make big statements, like new lighting fixtures or accent furniture. But when it comes to the bigger changes, our expert team at Lifetime Windows and Doors can help. Here’s how:

New windows: Not only do new windows bring in more natural light and help lighten your mood during those cold, dreary days, but they will also be energy efficient, which means your utility bill will be lower! Not to mention, new windows are extremely quiet, which translates to a more peaceful inside space!  We are proud dealers of Milgard and Simonton windows, which are known for their quality workmanship, attention to detail, and energy efficiency. Contact us today for information on which windows could work with your home’s unique style and most importantly, your budget.

New doors: A new front door not only makes a statement, but it adds curb appeal and sets the tone for the rest of your house. If your front door has seen better days, we can help with a replacement! A new door will not only look good, but it will also help keep cold winter air out and warm air inside! We have an infinite number of choices available for doors and carry a variety of brands including Therma-Tru, Buffelen, Simonton, Codel, and more!  Whether you need a simple replacement or something more custom, we can help!

We think 2019 is a great time to replace your windows and doors! We can even help with new roofing and siding projects. Our experienced team of professionals is ready to help get your home to look and feel how you want it, so you can enjoy it for years to come. Contact us today to get an appointment scheduled so you can start getting your home renovation project started!

Is Your Patio Ready for Patio Season?

The Pacific Northwest is known for the rain, but when springtime weather starts, it means longer days and sunnier weather! Now is the perfect time to spruce up your patio space so you can enjoy the time outside. Here are some great ways to get your patio ready for patio season.

Tip #1: Pressure wash the patio and steps.
Looking to improve curb appeal with minimal work? Pressure washing can do the job! A thorough pressure washing job is an effective and inexpensive way to remove mildew and dirt buildup that has accumulated throughout the winter and early spring months.

Tip #2: Get a sliding glass door installed.
What better way to enjoy the great weather than by installing a new sliding glass door? These doors allow bright natural light to make its way through your home and on warm days, you can open it to bring in fresh air! Not to mention, when you’re entertaining on the patio, you can have the ease and convenience of keeping the door opened so you can go in and out. We install a variety of sliding glass doors, including French in-swing or out-swing doors, stacking glass doors, and bi-folding glass doors that open like an accordion.  Not sure which style would look best in your home? Contact us today for recommendations on which one fits your space best.

Tip #3: Get new windows.
The beauty of springtime in the Northwest is unmatched. It’s green, things are blooming, and the sun is out! What better way to enjoy the outside scenery than with spacious new windows? Windows that are cracked, old, and leaky can hinder your outlook! Replacement windows will help minimize energy bill costs, keep you comfortable, and will reduce noise. We are proud to carry several window brands and styles that work well with your home’s style, and we will work within your budget.
