Window Installation Answers What Can I Expect

Wondering what to expect when you replace your windows and doors. Architectural Visions, Inc, (AVI) is a full service Marvin Design Gallery that takes care of every detail. We've answered a few questions you may have.

How much do AVI's windows and doors cost?

Marvin windows and doors are built around you, meaning they are not simply delivered from a warehouse, but made especially for the openings in your home. Because of the virtually limitless combinations of sizes, shapes, features and options, the price of your windows and doors can vary greatly. In addition, if you are seeking replacement windows or patio doors, our windows consultants need to assess the condition of your current ones, during our complimentary in-home consultation. At this appointment, our window experts will guide you through the choices and help you select just the right products for your home, leading to a hassle-free estimate.

Besides Marvin windows and doors, what other products does AVI sell for beautiful homes?

Why do I need an in-home appointment to order new or replacement windows and doors?

Many of AVI's products, such as wood windows, fiberglass windows, sliding glass doors and French doors are made individually to order, and our consultants must take accurate measurements and review the areas where they will be installed in order to give you a quote. Once the in-home appointment is complete, there is no cost or pressure to purchase.

What can you tell me about AVI's replacement doors?

AVI offers a full range of options! Choose from French doors, sliding glass doors, Ultrex fiberglass doors, Therma-Tru entry doors and many more. We also offer iron doors with forged grills in a wide variety of architectural styles that can be customized for you. During our hassle-free consultation, one of AVI's professionals can demonstrate the design capabilities and choices to make your home's entrances beautiful. You can also visit our showroom where a variety of doors are displayed to let you experience the quality and style firsthand.

Is it wise to have my windows installed during winter? Should I wait?

Our professional window installers work year round. The time between the removal of your old windows and their replacement with new ones is very minimal. Only one window is removed at a time and replaced immediately before moving on to the next opening. Waiting for the right weather is not necessary, and with AVI's many energy efficient window solutions, you'll begin saving on energy bills from the moment they're installed, regardless of the season. The same is true of our replacement doors and patio doors.
