A few months ago, we shared the start of a Marvin Elevate project in Westford, Massachusetts. The homeowners had been dealing with their original 30-year-old vinyl windows – drafty, inefficient, and doing nothing to complement their beautifully remodeled kitchen. Today, we’re excited to show you the finished project – and to report that the homeowners are very happy with the transformation.
Bringing Natural Light Into the Kitchen
One of the biggest upgrades happened in the heart of the home. The old kitchen window was small and didn’t match the openness of the updated interior. We expanded that opening and installed an 8-foot Marvin Elevate casement bay window, instantly changing the feel of the entire space. The new bay now floods the kitchen with natural light and gives the homeowners the wider view they always wished they had.
On an adjacent wall, we created a brand-new window opening where there had previously been no window at all. The framing was already in place, so once we opened the wall and installed the new unit, that dark corner became bright and balanced for the first time. It’s a small change with a big impact.
A Fresh, Modern Look With Premium Materials
This home received a full-window overhaul:
-
Casement windows
-
Double-hung windows upstairs
-
Sliding windows in the basement level
-
A new front bow window
The homeowners chose Marvin Elevate for its combination of real wood interior and durable Ultrex® fiberglass exterior – a pairing that offers performance, efficiency, and long-term durability.
Inside, they went bold with a black interior finish, a choice you don’t see every day but one that turned out absolutely stunning. The black adds a clean, modern contrast to the wood elements in the home and feels premium without being flashy.
Exterior Details That Bring It All Together
Several standout exterior features elevate this project even further:
-
A standing seam metal roof over the kitchen bay window
-
Freshly installed trim around every new window
-
Clean lines and matching profiles across all units
-
A completely refreshed front elevation with the new bow window
The exterior of the kitchen bay is still partially unfinished – intentionally – because this home is about to get a full siding replacement next. Once the new siding goes up, this home will look brand new from every angle.
A Transformation That Balances Beauty and Performance
While the visual upgrades are obvious, this project also gives the homeowners huge improvements in energy efficiency, insulation, and day-to-day comfort. Marvin Elevate’s fiberglass exterior performs exceptionally well in New England weather, and the new windows seal tightly where the old vinyl units were leaking air.
The end result is a home that’s brighter, more comfortable, more energy-efficient, and dramatically more beautiful.
