Every home in New Orleans has its own story, whispered through the bricks and beams that have stood the test of time. As the owner of America’s Best Choice in Louisiana, my team and I have the privilege of helping to preserve and accentuate these stories through custom doors and windows specifically designed for the unique architectural styles found throughout our city.
New Orleans’ architectural diversity, from Creole cottages to antebellum mansions, requires a careful, tailored approach. Each home, with its distinctive style and character, invites solutions that blend seamlessly with their historic contours and contemporary needs.
The customization process is more than just a business transaction; it’s a partnership with history. It begins with understanding the home’s architecture and the stories embedded in its walls. For a Creole cottage, this might mean crafting windows that offer modern energy efficiency while maintaining the traditional, vibrant aesthetic that captures the spirit of the neighborhood.
For antebellum mansions, the approach shifts. These homes command a blend of strength and elegance, requiring doors and windows that not only reflect the grandeur of their era but also meet today’s standards for security and durability. The challenge is to match these requirements with the craftsmanship that respects and preserves the historical integrity of the mansion.
Incorporating modern technology into our craftsmanship allows for the creation of products that not only meet aesthetic and structural needs but also offer enhanced energy efficiency. This is crucial in a city like ours, where the heat and humidity demand that our homes are as insulated and secure as they are beautiful.
At America’s Best Choice, the goal is always to ensure that each new door and window not only adds to the beauty of a home but also to the story that each historic building tells. It is a responsibility and honor to work in a city so rich in culture and history, helping to preserve its heritage for future generations to experience and enjoy.
