4V Historical Preservation Commission Cover letter Dated: 2-18-11 Quality Window & Door Co. (Lance Roush, CGP) have a combined level of experience serving multiple markets of over 40 years. As window replacement is not always necessary, on the occasions that it is, we feel that we are uniquely suited to work on projects of interest to the commission. Itis our philosophy that architecture can be preserved or often times brought back with new technology. We approach most of the sensitive projects with products from Marvin Windows & Doors of Warroad, MN. Marvin Windows & Doors as a manufacturer has positioned themselves in the world marketplace as a leader in providing the latest technology available for energy efficiency, while maintaining historical correct features. We typically suggest our aluminum clad exterior products in the Ultimate Product Series simply because they are so architecturally correct, and maintenance.free. There is no other product commercially available that incorporates the modern benefits with historic features. And in the situations where the Aluminum Clad exterior won't be appropriate (due to color or some detail that we can't match in aluminum), Marvin is one of the last companies that still takes the wood exterior market seriously (However, we typically suggest an alternate species like mahogany, or fir over pine for durability). It is our opinion that we are of benefit to the commission rather than "one of those evil window replacement companies" because of not only our unique skill/product set, but also because we --- value -and -respect the commissions authority. -There are multiple projects listed on the resume' page that were well on their way to performing work without the commission's blessing. It was only after we discussed the ramifications with them that they consulted the commission. It is not Quality Window & Door Co's position that all windows need replaced, in fact, there have been many visits to homes that ended with them calling Schoberg in Plymouth. In a market where there are many contractors, franchises, and independent dealers selling windows without regard to your governance, we always consider first whether a structure is under your jurisdiction in the typical geographical areas. It is due to the above points that I/WE would appreciate the opportunity to be listed in your "preferred Contractor listings" as anew window supplier when the other options have been exhausted, or the existing product is just too far gone.
