Key characteristics of a contemporary design

Contemporary style homes often showcase an asymmetrical exterior with geometric details. With flatter roof pitches and clean design lines, modern homes often avoid screens or grids on their windows to help blend with the simplicity and minimalistic look. Contemporary home window frames are often seen in white or black color options.

Key characteristics of a craftsman design 

A traditional craftsman style home features dimension and is built with a low pitch roof for a “stocky” appearance. Smaller bungalows and cottage homes also carry many of the same features of the craftsman style. The exterior color scheme is almost always a blend of earthy and neutral tones, so window frame colors are selected to match.

Key characteristics of a historic design

If you live in a colonial, Victorian, Georgian or Greek revival home, you know your home has a lot of character and historic value. Homes from these eras share some common features, including steep roof pitches, symmetrical build and (for most) a very rectangular structure. In an effort to preserve the history of your home, our specialists will use more simplistic style windows typically with white frames and grids.
