Paid for by Hometown Window and Door Company
A north Indianapolis homeowner reached out to Hometown Window and Door Company when he decided to turn his screened-in porch into a year-round space.
“I was looking for someone to do the project and I know Darren Peck, one of the owners of Hometown Window,” the homeowner said. “It was a big project and we needed a new sliding door out to the deck too.”
Peck launched Hometown Window and Door Company with his business partners in 2018. The locally owned and operated business ensures a personal touch to every project. Customers receive the personal cell number of their design consultant.
In this instance, the large project required a considerable amount of preparation, and the homeowner said the Hometown team was up for the task.
Technology has come a long way in recent years. The company uses a computer program to virtually build the door with the customer so they can pick out finishes, slabs, glass inserts, hardware and other custom features.
Sliding doors alone require special planning. Hometown Window and Door Company calls them gliding doors because when they are done, that’s what the door does – glides open and closed. No more tugging and pulling. They also come with a multiple-lock system for security.
“They were very thorough,” the homeowner added. “They came out and measured everything. They explained all of our options. We could go with custom windows or standard and make them work with the design. They covered all the bases and sent the installer out for a final look at the project before ordering.”
He ended up using a combination of custom and standard windows in addition to the gliding door, and chose the Andersen brand.
“My old house had 25-year-old Andersen windows, so I knew I was definitely happy with the product,” he said.
Andersen windows are known for durability, energy efficiency and ease of use. They can lower heating and cooling bills, they don’t rot, fade or peel, and they are coated with UV-ray protection.
This past August, the homeowner watched his project come to fruition.
“They were here for about a week,” he said. “I think what stood out the most was that they came when they said they were going to come, and they did what they said they would do. A lot of contractors don’t do that.”
In the end the project was exactly as he had envisioned, and he has a year-round room he can utilize for many years to come.
“We use the new porch every day,” he said. “I would definitely recommend Hometown Window. I know other people who have used them on restoration projects too and I’ve always heard good things. It’s always good work at a fair price.”
