lumber yard on stouftville road what you need to know about replacement windows there are many reasons canadians decide to replace their existing windows foggedup glass rotting and cracked frames drafty and inoperable sashes are just some of the issues that top the list despite rising energy costs and envi ronmental awareness architectural details and style are stronger motives for some thankfully with todays energy efficient windows consumers shouldnt have to choose style over performance replacement windows and doors are now available in a wider variety of materials and finishes

consumer must make many home improvement compa nies favor an insert style of installation where the new win dow is fastened directly into the old window frame this is a quicker and less expensive option because very little carpentry is involved the preferred installation involves removing the entire window to the rough opening and replacing everything including the interior mouldings older homes with large mouldings or brick and block construction may be better with the insert method a reputable company should be able to inform the homeown er of their options and provide solutions that perform well and add to the homes architecture a good window is only as good as its installation so always check references and if possible visit completed projects fieldstone windows ltd takes pride

no longer rushes past their door and the old hand tools simply deco rate the walls now century mill lumber coowners jack wilkinson and keith grose know the road that got them to where they are today the 156yearold lum ber company received the heritage award at this years whitchurch stouffville chamber of commerce business awards ceremony this year i certainly appreciated it the award said mr wilkin son 59 it makes you pause and think why we are this old and why are we still going and still viable still on the original site although sporting a new name century mill lum ber has been operating on the south side of stouffville road between kennedy and mccowan roads since 1851 originally called rat- cliff lumber the mill started as a waterpowered sawmill thanks to its location on a tributary of the rouge river most of the original build ings were lost in a fire ignited by lightning hit the business in 1982 since then the mill has been rebuilt and updated and continues to be fam ily owned and operated mr wilkinson married into the ratcliff family and started stouffville business working at the mill 30years ago mr grose has been there for six years when asked how their momandpop operation competes in a world of big box stores such as home depot and rona the two owners say that in addition to carrying a different selec tion of sizes and species they have forged a good relation ship with some of their com petition we refer to each other because we cant handle everything mr wilkinson said home depot in barrie often sends people down to us and thanks to a catalogue of wood including hemlock foreign hardwoods and white cedar the quiet familyrun mill with eight employees has carved out a niche for itself in the local lumber market i think a lot of people tend to like this sort of old- fashioned mill idea said mr grose 39 the smell of pine and saw dust permeate the parking lot as the owners describe the key to their success above all they attribute the mills longevity to appreciation of their customers and the absence of any disingenuous sales pitches inspiring all girls to be strong smart and bold jills inc a girl inspired today is a woman
