Affordable Window Replacement Improves Façade of Queens Home

In the bustling borough of Queens, New York, a homeowner was ready to update the curb appeal of their traditional-style house. They turned to our expert team at Pella of Long Island to provide windows that would achieve their vision. Featuring two bow windows and an arch window on the front of the home, this project was both beautiful and cost-effective. 

Our recommendation of vinyl windows played a crucial role in achieving the homeowner’s goals. They wanted beautiful new windows at a budget-friendly price point. One of the best parts of this project was its successful completion under budget. Pella of Long Island's expertise in providing beautiful, cost-effective solutions resulted in window replacement that exceeded expectations without breaking the bank. Vinyl windows are known for their high performance, affordability and low maintenance requirements. They also offer many of the most desired features and options. Pella's fade-resistant vinyl formula is performance tested for excellent weathering, durability and color retention — which is ideal in New York’s varying climate. The homeowner was pleased to know these beautiful and affordable windows will last for the long haul with minimal maintenance required.

Our team worked with the homeowner to create window designs that seamlessly integrate with the existing architecture while adding a fresh touch. The bow windows, one on each story, add design interest and elegance to the home’s façade. With their curved projection from the wall, bow windows create additional interior space and add an intriguing architectural element to the overall design. These traditional windows also accentuate the curved brickwork that spans the height of the home.  

Above the entryway, the homeowners opted for a large arched window. To enhance the classic appeal of the entry, we suggested between-the-glass grilles in a traditional pattern. These grilles further the timeless and sophisticated aesthetic this home exudes. Choosing a traditional pattern reflects the homeowner's commitment to preserving the home's architectural integrity. With the grilles between the glass, this large window is also easier to clean as the glass surface is smooth and unobstructed on both sides. 

The tan exterior of all these windows adds warmth and classiness to the home's exterior. The tan windows not only complement the surrounding brick but also provide contrast. The difference in colors helps the windows stand out in a fresh way, while still honoring the traditional style of the property. This is especially important in this Queens neighborhood where homeowners seek to update their windows without compromising the beautiful architecture.

This home shows how beauty, durability and affordability converge to achieve a successful window replacement project. It's an inspiration for homeowners looking to update their curb appeal while preserving the charm of New York’s boroughs.
