Changing a window into french doors in Denver, Colorado

Posted By Admin on February 3, 2010

This historic home in the Baker Neighborhood of Denver, Colorado underwent a major renovation in 2007. The homeowners hired Mile High Window, Solar and Landscape Inc. for several parts of this project, including replacing some doors and windows, building a new front porch/deck, building a privacy fence in the rear of the property, building an historically accurate boundary fence in the front yard, installing an irrigation system and landscaping and much more. This blog entry will highlight one particular project, which was to replace a second story window with Pella French doors, which lead out to the new deck off the master bedroom (which we built with composite GeoDeck). First the window was removed and an expert mason was hired to remove bricks and reconfigure the opening for the new doors. Then, we framed around the opening in preparation for the new door installation. Finally we installed the doors and final exterior trim.

We build custom fences in the Denver Metro Area

Posted By Admin on January 9, 2010

Mile High Window, Solar and Landscape Inc. can transform your property with a brand new, custom fence. We specialize in custom cedar fences, either to define boundaries or to provide privacy. We offer a lot of different choices as far as styles and designs. We can take out your old fence and replace it with a new, beautiful one. We build quality fences with quality products; our pickets are secured with screws, not nails, so they will last longer and be sturdier. Don’t forget that protecting your cedar fence is the key to its longevity. We can apply the first coat of sealer, but we recommend reapplying sealer once a year to keep the rich appearance of a new fence. Without sealer the fence will still last, but will fade to a grey color and take on a weathered appearance. Please visit our Denver Fences page for more information on building your custom fence.
