Start fresh with our blog, New Year New Windows, and discover how upgrading your windows can set the tone for a brighter year ahead.
When summer arrives, most homeowners prepare by cranking up the air conditioning, stocking up on cold drinks, and pulling down the blinds. But if your home still feels like a greenhouse by mid-afternoon, the real culprit might be staring right back at you: your old, drafty windows.
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows is one of the smartest moves you can make to prepare for the peak of the warm season. Here is why new windows are the perfect summer upgrade for your home.
During the summer, old single-pane or poorly sealed windows act like magnifying glasses, allowing solar heat to penetrate your living space. This phenomenon forces your air conditioning system to work overtime, leading to spiked utility bills and unnecessary wear and tear on your HVAC unit.
Modern windows utilize advanced technologies to combat this heat gain:
Low-E Glass Coatings: This microscopic, invisible metallic layer reflects infrared heat away from your house, letting the beautiful sunlight in while keeping the baking heat out. We use 4 layers of low-e coating to make it even more energy efficient.
Argon Gas Fills: Denser than air, this safe gas is sealed between double or triple glass panes to create a powerful thermal barrier, locking the cool air inside. At Conservation Construction we use argon gas fill to ensure that you get the best insulation possible.
Have you ever noticed that sitting near a specific window in July makes you feel like you're sitting next to a campfire? Old windows create inconsistent indoor temperatures and uncomfortable hot spots. High-quality replacement windows feature precision weatherstripping and airtight seals, ensuring that your home maintains a consistent, refreshing temperature from room to room.
The summer sun is relentless, and its powerful ultraviolet (UV) rays can wreak havoc on your home’s interior. Over time, unfiltered sunlight will fade expensive hardwood floors, bleach carpets, and ruin your favorite furniture fabrics. Our new windows equipped with Low-E coatings act like sunglasses for your home, blocking up to 95% of harmful UV rays to preserve your interior decor.
Summer brings plenty of neighborhood activity—from lawnmowers and barking dogs to outdoor parties and increased traffic. Because modern windows are built with thicker, multi-pane glass and superior insulation, they pull double duty by significantly dampening outside noise. When you shut your new windows, you instantly create a quiet, tranquil sanctuary.
Don't spend another summer fighting a losing battle against rising temperatures and climbing electric bills. Investing in new windows transforms your home into a cool, energy-efficient, and comfortable retreat just in time for the sunniest days of the year. Contact us today for your free quote!
As the frost thaws and the days stretch longer, homeowners naturally turn their attention to rejuvenation. While spring cleaning usually involves tidying up interiors, it is actually the most strategic season to address the "big three" of home exterior maintenance: windows, siding, and doors.
Here is why spring is the ideal window of opportunity for these upgrades.
The "Goldilocks" climate of spring is perfect for construction. It's the perfect weather to have your windows or doors switched out because it's not too cold!
Spring has the ideal temperature to replace windows and doors
It also helps siding have a tight seal!
Winter is brutal on a home’s shell. Ice dams, freezing moisture, and high winds often reveal hidden damage. Replacing siding or doors in the spring allows installers to replace in ideal weather. They don't have to deal with winter elements that lead to mold or rot during the humid summer months.
Upgrading to energy-efficient windows and insulated doors right now pays dividends almost instantly. As temperatures rise, modern Low-E glass and high-quality weatherstripping keep your air conditioning inside. By finishing these projects in the spring, you ensure your home is a thermal fortress before the first summer heatwave hits.
Historically, late spring and early summer are the busiest times for the real estate market. Even if you aren't planning to sell, spring is when people spend the most time outdoors. New siding in a fresh, modern palette or a vibrant new entry door provides an immediate aesthetic lift that makes your home the standout of the neighborhood.
Spring isn't just about planting gardens; it’s about protecting the structure that houses them. Tackling these replacements now ensures your home is efficient, dry, and looking its best just in time for the outdoor season.

If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s exterior, you’ve likely noticed the debate between traditional vinyl and fiber cement. Gentek ALIGN Composite Siding has emerged as a powerhouse in this space, effectively bridging the gap by offering the high-end look of real wood with the technical performance of a high-tech composite.
Here is why ALIGN is becoming a top choice for modern home exteriors.
At the heart of ALIGN is its exclusive Technology, which stands for Glass-Reinforced Polymer and Graphite-Infused Polystyrene.
Glass-Reinforced Polymer: This provides the structural "backbone" of the siding, offering incredible strength and heat resistance that prevents the warping or sagging often seen in cheaper materials.
Graphite-Infused Polystyrene: This acts as an integrated insulation layer. Graphite reflects radiant heat and reduces thermal bridging, which can help improve your home's overall energy efficiency and potentially lower utility bills.
One of the biggest hurdles with synthetic siding is making it look "real." ALIGN solves this with:
Realistic Texture: It features a deep Cedar Mill grain pattern that is virtually indistinguishable from painted wood.
Architectural Profiles: It’s available in a 7" Plank for a classic look or a 12" Board & Batten for a more modern, farmhouse aesthetic.
Fade-Resistant Colors: Using titanium dioxide and weatherable pigments, Gentek ensures that even dark, bold colors remain vibrant against UV exposure for years.
Standard siding can be vulnerable to the elements, but ALIGN is engineered to be a "shield" for the home:
Impact Resistance: It contains impact modifiers that protect against hail, stray baseballs, and everyday dings.
Moisture Proof: Unlike wood or some fiber cements, it does not absorb moisture. This means it won't rot, swell, or shrink over time.
Class A Fire Rating: It meets the highest standards for flame spread and smoke development, providing an extra layer of safety for your family.
The "hidden cost" of wood siding is the need for scraping, priming, and painting every few years. ALIGN is a "set it and forget it" product. Because the color is integrated into the material, it never needs painting. A simple wash with a garden hose is usually all it takes to keep it looking brand new.
For homeowners, a faster installation means less time living in a construction zone. ALIGN features a Self-Aligning Stack Lock, which ensures each plank is perfectly leveled and securely fastened. Because it is lighter than fiber cement, it can often be installed more quickly and efficiently.
The Verdict:
For homeowners who want the rich look of wood without the upkeep, Gentek ALIGN Composite Siding is an excellent choice. It combines strong thermal efficiency, high-impact durability, and a lifetime limited warranty, making it a smart long-term investment that helps protect both your home’s structure and its resale value.

While most homeowners wait for the first sprout of spring to think about exterior renovations, savvy property owners know that the "off-season" is actually one of the best times to pull the trigger on a siding project. If you’ve been shivering through drafts or noticing your home's exterior looking a bit weathered, here is why a winter installation is a brilliant move.
Immediate Energy Efficiency: Old, cracked, or failing siding is a major culprit for heat loss. By replacing it during the coldest months, you create a tight thermal envelope right when you need it most. You’ll feel the difference in your comfort level—and see it in your heating bills—immediately.
Preparation for the "Windy" Season. New, professionally installed siding ensures your home's structure is fully sealed and protected against the high winds we face in Colorado and can protect your home. It even insulates better for better energy efficiency in the spring.
Landscaping Protection: In the summer, contractors have to navigate around blooming flower beds and lush turf. In the winter, many plants are dormant and the ground is often firmer, meaning the foot traffic and equipment used during installation are far less likely to disturb your prized garden.
Installing new siding isn't just a maintenance task; it’s a total aesthetic transformation. Imagine coming home to a crisp, clean exterior that stands out beautifully against a winter landscape. Whether you opt for a classic neutral or a bold, modern hue like a deep aquamarine or charcoal, winter provides a unique backdrop to see your home’s "curb appeal" shine.
Don’t wait for the thaw to give your home the protection and beauty it deserves. Embracing a winter installation means you can spend your spring enjoying the view rather than managing a construction zone. Contact Conservation Construction today for your free quote!
Winter Window Replacement: Smart Choice
Most people assume that window replacement is strictly a "warm weather project." They picture their home being exposed to the elements, snow blowing into the living room, and a massive heating bill following shortly after.
In reality, winter is actually one of the smartest times to upgrade your windows. Here is why you shouldn’t wait for the spring thaw to make the switch.
During the winter months it's great to get on our schedule for a remodeling project. We can get you on the schedule rather quickly and do it efficiency.
Get your project done faster and start saving money on your energy bills now!
Why pay to heat the outdoors for another three months? If your current windows are drafty, you are essentially throwing money out the window every time the furnace kicks on.
By installing high-efficiency windows from Conservation Construction in the winter, you see an instant reduction in your energy consumption. Our modern windows utilize 3 layers of Low-E glass and argon gas fill to keep the heat inside where it belongs.
One of the biggest myths is that your house will be freezing for hours when the installation takes places. This is just no the case . . .
We prep the new window entirely before removing the old one.
The actual time the "hole" in your wall is open to the elements is usually only 10 to 15 minutes per window.
Our installers often work in teams to close off rooms, ensuring the rest of your home stays cozy while they work.
It is much easier to find a draft when it’s 20°F outside than when it’s 70°F.
Draft Spotting: Installers can easily identify exactly where air is leaking.
Moisture Check: Winter air highlights seal failures and condensation issues that might be invisible during the humid summer months. New windows prevent air infiltration so your heat stays in and the cold stays out.
A common concern is whether the sealant will work in the cold. Don't worry— our professional installers use high-performance, cold-weather silicones specifically designed to adhere and seal at temperatures well below freezing.

Upgrading your front door is one of the rare home improvement projects where you actually get to have your cake and eat it, too. It’s a triple threat: it boosts your home’s "face value," slashes your energy bills, and keeps your living room from feeling like a drafty hallway.
If you’re still rocking a weathered wood door from the 90s, here is why steel and fiberglass are the modern gold standards for replacement.
Our modern doors aren't just solid slabs; they are engineered systems. Unlike solid wood, which can expand and contract with the weather, steel and fiberglass doors are built with high-density polyurethane foam cores.
Thermal Break: These doors act as a giant insulator, preventing heat from escaping in the winter and keeping the AC inside during the summer.
Lower Bills: Upgrading to one of our energy efficient doors can significantly reduce your monthly utility costs.
Let’s be honest: nobody wants to spend their Saturday sanding and restaining a door.
Fiberglass: This is the "set it and forget it" king. It won’t warp, rot, or crack. Our fiberglass doors feature realistic wood-grain textures that give you the aesthetic of oak or mahogany without the vulnerability to moisture.
Steel: While it requires a bit more care to prevent scratches, steel is incredibly tough and won't swell or bow, ensuring a perfect seal year-round.
Your front door is the primary line of defense for your family. When it comes to sheer strength, these materials outclass traditional wood.
If you’re planning to sell your home eventually, a new front door is one of the smartest moves you can make. According to various "Cost vs. Value" reports, a steel door replacement consistently ranks as one of the highest ROI home projects, often recouping nearly 100% of its cost upon resale. It’s the ultimate way to nail a first impression.
Pro Tip: If you want the "wow" factor of wood without the upkeep, high-end fiberglass is almost indistinguishable from the real thing, even from a few feet away.
Whether you choose the industrial strength of steel or the versatile, rot-proof beauty of fiberglass, you’re making an investment in your home’s efficiency and safety. You’ll stop paying to heat the neighborhood, and you’ll finally have a door that opens smoothly every single time—regardless of the humidity. Contact us today for your free quote.

New windows are a significant investment, but they can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills. This is because old, inefficient windows are a major source of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature. By upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows, you can drastically reduce this energy waste and save money in the long run.
Heat transfer through windows occurs in several ways. Conduction is the transfer of heat through the window pane itself. Convection is the transfer of heat through air currents between the panes or around the window frame. Radiation is the transfer of heat through infrared waves from the sun.
Old windows, especially single-pane windows, are poor insulators and allow a significant amount of heat to escape or enter your home through these processes. If you have really old aluminum windows those will expand and contract in the sun and are extremely inefficient.
Our modern energy-efficient windows are designed to combat these heat transfer mechanisms with several key features:
The exact amount you can save on your energy bills depends on several factors, including your climate, the age and condition of your old windows, and the type of new windows you install. However, the Department of Energy estimates that replacing single-pane windows with energy efficient windows windows can save the average homeowner between $101 and $583 a year. These savings can help offset the initial cost of the windows over time, making them a smart long-term investment for your home and your wallet.
As you can see from above new windows are a great investment because they can reduce your energy costs by preventing solar heat gain and unwanted air infiltration. New windows on average can save you up to 40% off your total energy costs. If you'd like a free quote for new window replacement please reach out to us today for your free quote.
Patio doors are more than just an entryway; they are a seamless transition between your indoor comfort and the beauty of your outdoor living space. Over time, however, even the most cherished patio doors can show their age, impacting everything from your energy bills to your home's aesthetic. Upgrading to new patio doors isn't just a home improvement project; it's an investment that offers a multitude of benefits, transforming your living environment and adding significant value to your property.
One of the most compelling reasons to consider new patio doors is enhanced energy efficiency. Older patio doors, especially those with single-pane glass or worn-out seals, are notorious for air leaks and poor insulation. This allows conditioned air to escape in the summer and precious heat to seep out in the winter, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime. Our modern patio doors, on the other hand, are engineered with advanced features like double or even triple-pane insulated glass, with 4 layers of low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, and airtight frames. These innovations on our doors drastically reduce heat transfer, leading to noticeable savings on your utility bills and a more comfortable indoor climate year-round. You'll find yourself reaching for the thermostat less often, enjoying consistent temperatures without drafts or hot spots.
Beyond energy savings, new patio doors significantly improve your home's security. Outdated doors can be vulnerable points, with flimsy locks, weak frames, or easily compromised glass. Our contemporary patio doors are designed with robust multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames, making them far more difficult for intruders to breach. This added layer of protection offers invaluable peace of mind, knowing that your home and loved ones are better safeguarded.
Aesthetics play a huge role in home enjoyment and curb appeal, and new patio doors can deliver a dramatic visual upgrade. Faded frames, scratched glass, or dated designs can detract from your home's overall appearance. Imagine replacing those tired doors with sleek, modern sliders that glide effortlessly, or elegant French doors that open to reveal a picturesque view. With an extensive array of styles, materials (vinyl, fiberglass, wood, aluminum), finishes, and hardware options available, you can choose doors that perfectly complement your home's architectural style and your personal taste. When you work with our experts you get to design your ideal door from the ground up. This fresh, updated look not only enhances your daily living experience but also significantly boosts your home's market value.
The convenience and functionality of new patio doors are also major advantages. Sticky rollers, warped frames, and difficult-to-operate latches are common frustrations with aging doors. New doors, built with precision engineering, offer smooth, effortless operation. Whether you choose sliding doors that conserve space, swinging French doors that provide a grand entrance, or bi-fold doors that completely open up an entire wall, the ease of use will be a welcome change. This seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces encourages more natural light to flood your home, creating a brighter, more expansive feel.
Finally, considering new patio doors is a smart move for long-term durability and reduced maintenance. Old doors can demand constant upkeep, from repainting and caulking to repairing sticky mechanisms. At Conservation Construction our patio doors constructed from low-maintenance materials that resist warping, rotting, and fading, requiring little more than occasional cleaning. This frees up your time and saves you money on ongoing repairs, allowing you to simply enjoy your beautiful and functional new entryway for years to come.
In conclusion, investing in new patio doors is a multi-faceted decision that brings a wealth of benefits. From significant energy savings and enhanced security to a stunning aesthetic transformation and effortless functionality, new patio doors are a wise upgrade that will pay dividends in comfort, value, and peace of mind. They are, quite simply, a clear view to a brighter, more enjoyable home. Get your free quote for a new patio door today by visiting our website here.
As the summer sun beats down, bringing with it sweltering temperatures and soaring energy bills, many homeowners find themselves in a familiar struggle. The air conditioning unit works overtime, yet the house remains uncomfortably warm, and the monthly electric bill climbs higher and higher. While a number of factors contribute to this summer predicament, one of the most overlooked solutions is also one of the most effective: installing new, energy-efficient windows. Far from being just a cosmetic upgrade, new windows are a transformative investment that can make a world of difference during the summer months.
The primary reason new windows are a summer superpower lies in their ability to dramatically reduce heat transfer. Old, single-pane windows or those with failing seals are essentially a thermal bridge, allowing the sun’s powerful infrared rays to pour into your home. This process, known as solar heat gain, forces your air conditioner to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Modern windows, however, are engineered to combat this exact problem. They often feature multiple panes of glass, separated by an inert gas like argon or krypton. This gas-filled space acts as a powerful insulator, creating a barrier that significantly slows the transfer of heat from outside to inside.
Beyond the multi-pane design, a key player in our modern window technology is our Low-E (low-emissivity) glass. This is a microscopic, transparent metallic coating is applied to the glass, which is designed to reflect radiant heat. During the summer, this coating reflects the sun's infrared rays away from your home, keeping the interior cooler. This is a game-changer for homes with large, south-facing windows that would otherwise be a major source of heat gain. By blocking this invisible heat, Low-E glass allows natural light to enter without the accompanying warmth, giving you a bright, airy space that stays cool. Our windows come with 4 Layers of low-e coatings to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
The benefits of new windows extend beyond just keeping your home comfortable. The reduction in solar heat gain directly translates to significant energy savings. When your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard, it consumes less electricity, leading to a noticeable decrease in your utility bills. This financial benefit is a compelling reason to consider an upgrade. While the initial investment in new windows may seem substantial, the long-term savings on energy costs can help recoup that expense over time, making it a wise financial decision for any homeowner. In fact, customers who have switched to new windows with Conservation Construction have seen a reduction in their energy costs by up to 40%.
Furthermore, new windows can improve the overall indoor air quality and comfort of your home. They can help reduce drafts, which are often a source of discomfort and can compromise the efficiency of your HVAC system. A well-sealed window also acts as a barrier against pollen and other allergens, which are prevalent during the summer months. This is particularly beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory issues, as it helps create a cleaner, healthier living environment.
Finally, the added benefit of UV protection is another compelling reason to consider new windows for summer. Our modern new windows with Low-E coatings block a significant portion of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. These rays not only contribute to solar heat gain but also cause fading and damage to furniture, flooring, and artwork. By filtering out these rays, new windows help protect your valuable belongings from sun damage, preserving their color and condition for years to come.
In conclusion, new windows are much more than a home improvement project—they are a strategic investment in your comfort, finances, and well-being, especially during the summer. By leveraging advanced technology to block heat, reduce energy consumption, and protect your home's interior, new windows transform your living space into a cool, efficient, and comfortable sanctuary. As temperatures rise, the decision to upgrade your windows becomes not just a matter of convenience, but a smart choice for a cooler, more sustainable summer.

Summer is officially here, and as the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, many of us are looking for ways to refresh our homes. While big renovations might be on hold, one surprisingly impactful upgrade that's perfect for the season is a new front door.
It might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but a new front door offers a host of benefits that truly shine during the summer months.

Modern front doors, especially those made with insulated materials and equipped with tight seals, offer significantly improved energy efficiency. This means your air conditioning unit won't have to work as hard, leading to a more comfortable indoor environment and potentially lower energy bills throughout the hot summer.
Summer often brings more open windows and doors, but your front door remains your primary barrier.

Plus, a well-sealed door can help keep out summer pests like bugs and reduce outside noise, contributing to a more comfortable and serene living space.

It might seem like a purely practical home improvement, but installing new windows can have a surprisingly profound impact on your mood. Beyond the obvious benefits of energy efficiency and enhanced curb appeal, a fresh set of windows can transform your living space into a more uplifting and enjoyable environment.
Natural Light
One of the most significant ways new windows boost your mood is by maximizing natural light. Older, inefficient windows often have thicker frames, smaller panes, or are simply not designed to let in as much light. Our modern windows, with their slimmer profiles and larger glass areas, flood your home with sunshine. Natural light is a powerful mood enhancer, known to alleviate symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), improve focus, and even regulate sleep cycles. A brighter home simply feels more welcoming and optimistic. If you have cracked or broken glass it can really bring down the appeal of a home on the inside and outside of a home. Contact Conservation Construction today to see what new windows can do for you!
Outside World
Beyond light, new windows offer a better connection to the outside world. Clear, untinted glass and unobstructed views allow you to fully appreciate the changing seasons, the beauty of your garden, or simply the activity outside your door. This visual connection can reduce feelings of isolation and make your home feel more expansive and less confined. New windows with their clear views give you this, plus the added protection of Low-E coatings to ensure you get all the views without the heat from the sun!
Quieting Windows
Finally, the comfort and quiet new windows provide contribute significantly to a more peaceful mood. Enhanced insulation means fewer drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures, eliminating those nagging discomforts that can chip away at your sense of well-being. Furthermore, our modern windows are excellent at blocking out unwanted noise from traffic, neighbors, or even harsh weather. A quieter home is a more serene home, allowing for greater relaxation and less stress. Our customers have always told us and noticed a significant reduction in outside noise making their homes more peaceful and quiet.
Start fresh with our blog, New Year New Windows, and discover how upgrading your windows can set the tone for a brighter year ahead.
Final Thoughts
While the financial investment in new windows is certainly a consideration, the intangible returns in terms of improved mood, comfort, and overall well-being are often well worth it.

Your front door is more than just an entryway; it's a critical component of your home's security, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. While a well-maintained door can last for decades, there comes a time when replacement becomes necessary. Knowing the signs can save you money, enhance your home's comfort, and ensure your peace of mind.

In today's competitive real estate market, homeowners are constantly seeking ways to enhance their property's appeal and value. While interior renovations are often considered, the impact of well-chosen exterior upgrades should not be underestimated. Among these, motorized awnings stand out as a feature that not only adds immediate comfort and functionality but can also significantly increase a home's market value.
First impressions are crucial in real estate, and the exterior of a home plays a vital role in capturing potential buyers' attention. Motorized awnings contribute significantly to curb appeal by adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the facade. At Conservation Construction our awnings are available in various styles, colors, and fabrics, you can customize your motorized awning to match the home's architecture, creating a visually appealing and cohesive look.
Beyond aesthetics, motorized awnings effectively extend the usable living space of a home. By providing shade and protection from the elements, they transform patios, decks, and even balconies into comfortable outdoor retreats. This additional living area becomes a significant selling point! Imagine potential homeowners envisioning themselves enjoying a cool summer evening on a shaded patio or hosting a gathering protected from a light rain shower – these are the lifestyle benefits that motorized awnings offer.
If you are creating a more functional outdoor space for the whole family, explore Benefits Of Pet Doors to see how a pet door can add convenience and freedom for your pets while complementing your home upgrades.
The "motorized" aspect is key to the added value. Unlike manual awnings, motorized versions offer unparalleled convenience and ease of use. With the simple touch of a button or a remote control, homeowners can effortlessly extend or retract their awnings as needed. This modern convenience is highly desirable and adds a touch of luxury that potential buyers appreciate.
Motorized awnings also contribute to energy efficiency, a growing concern for environmentally conscious homebuyers. By providing shade over windows and doors, they reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering the home, which can significantly lower indoor temperatures during hot summer months. This, in turn, reduces the reliance on air conditioning, leading to potential savings on energy bills – a tangible benefit that adds to the home's overall value proposition.
Furthermore, awnings protect interior furnishings such as carpets, curtains, and upholstery from fading due to prolonged sun exposure. This preservation of the home's interior adds another layer of value, as buyers recognize the reduced need for replacements and upkeep.
The potential return on investment (ROI) can be substantial. Real estate professionals often highlight outdoor living spaces and energy-efficient features as key elements that can increase a home's resale value. Motorized awnings seamlessly integrate both of these aspects, making them a wise investment for homeowners looking to boost their property's marketability and price. Studies suggest that well-designed outdoor spaces can increase a home's value by as much as 8-10%, and features like awnings contribute directly to the appeal and functionality of these spaces.
Motorized awnings are more than just stylish additions to a home's exterior; they are a functional upgrade that enhances lifestyle, improves energy efficiency, and ultimately increases property value. By boosting curb appeal, creating desirable outdoor living spaces, offering modern convenience, and providing protection, they represent a valuable investment in any home. As buyers increasingly seek properties that offer both comfort and long-term value, motorized awnings stand out as a feature that can give a home a significant edge in the real estate market.

Wrestling with an old window can be a real pain! There are several reasons why older windows often become stubborn and resist opening. It's usually a combination of time, the elements, and the materials they were made from.
Then there's the issue of warping and swelling. Wood, a common material in older windows, is susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature. This can cause the wood to warp, twist, or swell, leading to a tight fit within the frame. Suddenly, the once-smooth movement is now a struggle against misaligned parts. If any of these things are happening it’s a great time to get new window replacement. Conservation Construction can help you out with a free quote!
Old aluminum windows can swell and contract with exposure to sun in the windows. This moves the medal out of position over time making it very hard to even be able to move the windows let alone open them for a breeze. If you’re old aluminum windows are stuck, it's a great time to consider getting new window replacement.
Rust and corrosion can also play a role, especially in older metal-framed windows or those with metal hardware like pulleys and tracks. Over time, these components can seize up, hindering the window's ability to slide or pivot.
Finally, neglect and lack of maintenance contribute significantly. Without regular cleaning and lubrication, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate in the tracks and mechanisms, further impeding movement. Similarly, if broken or damaged parts aren't addressed promptly, they can worsen over time and make the window even harder to open. If you have any of these problems happening with your old windows, it’s time to switch to new window replacement.
So, while old windows can have a certain charm, their age often brings with it a host of issues that make the simple act of letting in some fresh air a frustrating chore. If you switch to new energy efficient, functional windows they slide easily for life and have a lifetime limited warranty.

Tired of siding that looks washed out after just a few summers? Modern siding technology has come a long way in combating the sun's relentless UV rays, offering homeowners a much more vibrant and long-lasting finish. Here's why new siding holds its color better:
Unlike older siding that relied on less stable pigments, today's options utilize high-quality, UV-resistant pigments. These pigments are specifically engineered to withstand the sun's harsh radiation without breaking down as easily, leading to significantly less fading over time. This also means less painting for you over time.
Many modern siding materials, particularly vinyl and fiber cement, feature durable, factory-applied coatings. These coatings act as a shield, deflecting UV rays and preventing them from directly impacting the color layer. This extra layer of defense greatly enhances color retention. We offer both of these siding replacement options at Conservation Construction.
Our modern manufacturing techniques ensure a more consistent and thorough distribution of pigments throughout the siding material. This evenness helps prevent localized fading and contributes to a more uniform and long-lasting color. There are so many colors and options now that you can mix and match and create a truly unique look for your home.
Materials like fiber cement are inherently more resistant to fading than some older alternatives. Even vinyl siding formulations have been improved to include UV inhibitors directly within the material composition, offering another layer of protection against sun damage. We also offer Cedar Ridge Siding which is excellent at fade resistance.
In short, advancements in pigments, protective coatings, manufacturing processes, and the materials themselves mean that investing in new siding offers more than just an aesthetic upgrade. It provides a long-lasting, vibrant look for your home, resisting the fading that plagued older siding options.

Spring has sprung! The days are longer, the air is warmer, and nature is putting on a vibrant show. After a long winter cooped up indoors, the urge to open our homes and embrace the outdoors is strong. But with that fresh air and sunshine can come unwanted guests: glare, insects, and a desire for adaptable light control. This is where motorized screens emerge as the unsung heroes of the season, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment.
Effortless Connection to the Outdoors:
Spring is all about embracing the natural world. Outdoor motorized screens make this effortless. With the simple touch of a button, you can retract your screens and invite in the gentle breezes, the sounds of birdsong, and the warmth of the sun. No more wrestling with bulky, manual screens or sacrificing your view. When the afternoon sun becomes too intense or pesky insects start to appear, deploying the screens is just as simple, creating an instant barrier without disrupting your connection to the outdoors.
Uninterrupted Views, Enhanced Comfort:
Traditional screens can often obstruct the beauty of your spring garden or the stunning vistas that come alive with the season. Motorized screens, especially those with sheer or solar fabrics like the ones we sell at Conservation Construction, offer a subtle yet effective layer of protection without compromising your view. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee with a clear, unobstructed panorama of blooming flowers, or hosting an evening gathering with a gentle breeze filtering through while keeping bugs at bay – all without the visual clutter of fixed screens.
Seamless Integration with Spring Living:
Spring often brings a shift in our lifestyle. We open our patios, decks, and porches more frequently, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Motorized screens seamlessly integrate with this lifestyle. Whether you have a large sliding glass door, a bi-fold patio entrance, or a covered porch, motorized screens can be custom-fitted to provide on-demand protection and privacy. This allows you to maximize your outdoor living spaces throughout the spring season, from sunny afternoons to cool evenings.
Control at Your Fingertips:
The beauty of motorized screens lies in their convenience. No more manual cranking or struggling with tangled cords. With remote controls you have complete control over your screens. Imagine effortlessly adjusting your screens as the sun moves across the sky, creating the perfect level of shade for your indoor or outdoor space. This ease of use encourages you to utilize your screens more often, maximizing their benefits throughout the spring.
Protecting Your Interiors from Spring's Elements:
While spring is beautiful, it can also bring its share of challenges. Increased sunlight can lead to fading of furniture and carpets. Pollen and dust can easily enter open windows and doors. Motorized screens act as a protective barrier against these elements. Solar screens can reduce heat gain and UV rays, protecting your interiors and potentially lowering energy costs. Bug screens keep unwanted insects out, allowing you to enjoy fresh air without the annoyance of buzzing and bites.
Creating the Perfect Spring Ambiance:
Motorized screens offer more than just functionality; they contribute to the overall ambiance of your home during spring. By controlling light and airflow, you can create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation, entertainment, or simply enjoying the beauty of the season. Imagine a gentle breeze filtering through your screened-in porch as you read a book, or the soft glow of evening light diffusing through your patio screens as you share a meal with loved ones.
Investing in Spring Enjoyment:
Motorized screens are an investment in your comfort and enjoyment of the spring season. They offer a seamless, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing way to connect with the outdoors while maintaining the comfort and functionality of your indoor spaces.

Patio doors, those gateways to our outdoor spaces, have a fascinating history that spans centuries and continents. While their modern form is often associated with mid-20th century America, their origins can be traced back much further.
Ancient Beginnings:
Evidence suggests that sliding doors, a precursor to modern patio doors, were used in Roman homes as early as the first century CE. Archeological sites in Pompeii have revealed remnants of these doors, which were typically suspended from the ceiling and moved along a track. These early sliding doors offered a practical solution for maximizing space and connecting interior living areas with courtyards or gardens.
Eastern Influence:
Some historians believe that the development of modern patio doors was also influenced by traditional Japanese architecture. The "shoji," a sliding door made of translucent paper and a wooden frame, has been used in Japanese homes for centuries. This design, with its emphasis on light and the seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, may have inspired the use of glass in patio doors, creating a similar effect with more durable materials.
The Rise of Glass:
The widespread availability of affordable glass in the 20th century played a crucial role in the evolution of patio doors. As glass production techniques improved, it became possible to create large, sturdy panes that could be incorporated into door designs. This led to the development of the sliding glass door, which became increasingly popular in the post-World War II era.
Modern Innovations:
Over the years, patio doors have continued to evolve, with manufacturers focusing on improving energy efficiency, security, and aesthetics. Double-paned glass, weather stripping, and advanced locking mechanisms have become standard features, making modern patio doors both functional and stylish. At Conservation Construction we have a wide array of new patio doors. They are all energy efficient and can give you a beautiful look in your home.

Window grids, those lines that divide a windowpane into smaller sections, are more than just a decorative touch. They play a significant role in a window's overall aesthetic, functionality, and even its historical accuracy. Understanding the different types of window grids can help you make informed decisions when choosing or replacing windows.
What are Window Grids?
Window grids, also known as muntins, are the dividing elements that separate a window into multiple panes of glass. Originally, they were essential for structural integrity, as large panes of glass were difficult and expensive to produce. Smaller panes, held together by grids, provided the necessary strength. While modern manufacturing allows for larger, single-pane windows, grids remain popular for their aesthetic appeal and historical accuracy.
Materials Used for Window Grids
The material of the window grid influences its durability, maintenance needs, and overall appearance:
Vinyl: A low-maintenance and cost-effective option. Vinyl grids are resistant to rot and decay and come in various colors.
Fiberglass: Known for its strength and stability, fiberglass is resistant to warping, cracking, and rot. Fiberglass grids offer a good balance of durability and aesthetic appeal.
At Conservation Construction we sell both types of these amazing windows to fit any homeowner's needs.
Benefits of Window Grids
Beyond their aesthetic contribution, window grids offer several benefits:
