Alexandria Home Solutions in Northville installs windows, doors, decking, roofing, and siding for property owners across the city, Northville Township, and the surrounding Wayne and Oakland County suburbs. In the City of Northville, the median home was built in 1968, and 23.1% of houses went up before 1940, so most exterior work here replaces materials that predate current energy codes. Five service lines sit under one contractor. You get one crew and a written quote before anything is ordered. Schedule your consultation, call us at 248-277-5700.
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that heat gain and heat loss through windows drive 25% to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use. Northville sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern climate zone, where certified windows must hit a U-factor of 0.30 or lower. U-factor measures how fast heat escapes through glass and frame, so a lower number insulates better. Homes inside the Northville Historic District also need a Certificate of Appropriateness under Design Standard 3.6 before exterior work starts, and we build that review into your installation timelines.
Our window installation services start with a project evaluation of every opening, not a catalogue order. We fit double-hung, casement, awning, slider, bay and bow, and picture window styles. Northville’s 1960s ranch stock and its pre-war homes rarely share a standard size, so most window frames here are built to order.
| Window Style | Suits | Ventilation | Northville Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Double-hung | Traditional facades | Both sashes open | Historic District homes |
| Casement | Wide openings | Full crank-out | West-facing kitchens |
| Bay and bow | Front rooms | Side vents only | 1960s ranch front elevations |
| Picture | Fixed views | None | Northville Township great rooms |
Compare double-hung and casement windows for a Michigan home. We install three manufacturers, each covering a different material and price band.
Sierra Pacific Industries builds hybrid window systems that pair a wood interior with extruded aluminum cladding and 100% uPVC vinyl. The wood face suits Historic District homes, where the commission looks closely at how a replacement reads from the street. The cladding takes the weather so the wood does not.
Window Force Inc. is a Canadian-owned manufacturer, so its product line is engineered for a climate close to ours. Units arrive built for cold-weather sealing. This is the practical middle of the range when you are replacing every opening at once and watching the cost estimates.
Home Guard Industries makes the Innovations series, which uses carbon composite reinforcements, uPVC extrusions, and earth-friendly insulation inside the frame. The reinforcement carries larger glass without thickening the sightline. Ask about these energy-efficient windows if home comfort is what you are buying.
Northville door installation covers entry, French, storm, and patio doors. Our professional door and window installers set the frame plumb, foam the cavity, and test the sweep. A tight slab protects interior comfort as much as glass does, and a storm door adds a second seal on north-facing entries. New doors carry the same aesthetic appeal as new windows for a fraction of the cost.
Northville deck installation turns unused yard into usable square footage. We build composite and wood decks sized to your lot. Every layout starts with a project evaluation of grade, footing depth, and intended use. Michigan’s frost line pushes footings deeper than a warm-climate build, which is one reason local pros price a Michigan deck the way they do.
Northville roof installation protects everything underneath it, including the windows you just paid for. Both systems below go on after a full deck inspection, and both matter after storm damage.
Asphalt roofing costs less per square and matches most colonial and ranch rooflines in Northville. Architectural shingles carry a heavier profile and longer manufacturer warranties than three-tab. This is the default for property owners balancing budget against a 20-year horizon.
Metal roofing uses standing seam panels that shed snow load instead of holding it and reflect summer heat off the attic. The upfront number runs higher than asphalt. The trade is a longer service life and less weight cycling on the deck through Michigan freeze and thaw.
Northville siding installation changes the look of a house in about a week. We fit vinyl and steel siding in colors that resist chalking through Michigan sun and road salt. The panel adds an insulation layer behind it, lifting curb appeal and energy efficiency together. Steel holds up better against hail. Vinyl costs less and offers more color.
Pick the service and we bring the measurements. Window replacement, door installation, decking, roofing, or siding, every quote starts with a free in-home visit and ends with written cost estimates the same day. Contact Alexandria Home Solutions or call 248-277-5700.
The same certified installers who measure your opening do the fitting, and you get paperwork on both the product and the labor across all five services. Many local contractors subcontract roofing or siding out. We keep it in-house. Financing is available, so run the numbers in our energy savings calculator first.
We serve Northville, Northville Township, Plymouth, Novi, Canton Township, Livonia, Salem Township, South Lyon, Farmington Hills, and New Hudson.

Five: window installation, door installation, decking, roofing in asphalt or metal, and siding. All of it is exterior work. We do not take interior remodeling, which is why one crew can handle the whole shell of your house.
Cost depends on scope, material, and the size of the opening or roof plane. A vinyl double-hung window prices differently than a bay window with a wood interior. We give written cost estimates after measuring at your home, so the number matches your property.
Yes. The Northville Historic District Commission issues a Certificate of Appropriateness under Design Standard 3.6 for windows. Approval happens at a public meeting, so add a few weeks to the schedule. We prepare the documentation they ask for.
Sierra Pacific Industries, Window Force Inc., and Home Guard Industries. Each sits in a different material and price band, from wood-clad to reinforced uPVC. We walk you through all three at the consultation rather than pushing one line.
ENERGY STAR puts certified windows at up to 13% off heating and cooling costs versus non-certified products. Your energy savings depend on what you replace. A home moving off single-pane glass sees a larger drop than one with double-pane glass.
