Custom Replacement Windows Transform Ranch Home

Window Replacement Case Study
Homeowners themselves can be the greatest sources of creativity when it comes to completely change the look of their homes. At McCann, we have often had homeowners give us drawings and photos cut from magazines as ideas for renewing the excitement they felt when they first moved in.
One such homeowner, a customer we worked for more than 10 years ago, recently came to us with one of those ideas that were so out of the box we started scratching our heads in wonder. For the Eagan residence, we replaced the entire side of their ranch-style home with custom Pella cottage-style windows and more than 20 feet of the floor-to-ceiling window wall.
Cottage Style
Double Hung Windows From Pella
A double-hung window can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top with two sashes that move independently. The two sashes are stacked and meet in the middle with a latch that locks the window shut. Double-hung windows are simple to clean as both sashes tilt inward for easy access to the interior and exterior glass surfaces. Because double-hung windows ventilate without protruding inwards or outwards, they maximize both interior and exterior space, making them popular choices in entertainment spaces like patios and porches. Double-hung windows are common choices in traditional and farmhouse homes. Adding a simple grille pattern furthers the traditional aesthetic, bringing modest detail and charm.
