Consumer Education > Project Spotlights > “New Windows in the District”
In June 2007 Dr. Levitt started to look for a contractor that would be able to replace several of the windows in his Washington DC residence. After searching for a specific brand, Certainteed, through the Internet he found American Custom Contractors’ website. He explained to our staff that he had some wood windows that needed to be replaced, and he was interested in replacing six of the windows in his home initially. Demetri met with Dr. Levitt to perform an inspection on the existing windows and make recommendations for replacement that would maintain the integrity of his historic residence, while improving energy efficiency and longevity.
Dr. Levitt was so pleased with the installation of the initial six windows, he called on American Custom Contractors to provide a quote for the installation of the additional seven windows in his home, as well as the possible replacement of his roof system.
After completing an exterior inspection and interior attic evaluation, Demetri confirmed that the roof was beyond its serviceable life. Demetri presented several replacement options and Dr. Levitt decided to proceed with a Certainteed Hatteras sloped roof and a Certainteed Flintlastic 2-ply flat roof system for his residence.
We are also pleased to report that he has also chosen American Custom Contractors as his trusted contractor for replacement of his gutter and downspout system, installation of new gutter screens, and replacement of the remaining windows in his home. He has also chosen to take advantage of the many benefits that Azek Trimboards can provide by replacing the fascia, frieze and soffit with this product. This will eliminate the need for Dr. Levitt to perform routine maintenance that traditional wood trim requires and it is backed by a 25-year warranty.
