How can you enhance security for your Alameda vintage home?
How can you enhance security for your Alameda vintage home? The Alameda Architectural Preservation Society’s first meeting of the year will address what you can do to improve the security of your vintage doors and windows Sunday, January 25 at 7:00 pm at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at 1420 Lafayette Street in Alameda.
Bill Essert, President of Wooden Window will speak about restoration of windows and doors in historic homes versus replacement. He will give advice about things homeowners can do to increase home’s security including retrofitting multi-point security locks on older doors.
VINTAGE DOOR
Windows and doors of many vintage homes are simply not secure. Homeowners are faced with replacement which are safe but not vintage or keeping their unsecure doors and windows.
Essert has had 30 years experience working with architects, contractors and homeowners to help his clients improve the quality and security of the homes. His company will help with weatherization, noise reduction and replacement of doors and windows. The meeting is free to AAPS members, non-member pay $5.
VINTAGE WINDOW
The Alameda Architectural Preservation Society has protected the architectural legacy of Alameda’s historic building for more than 40 years. Through AAPS action committees, educational seminars and home tours, citizens of Alameda have learned to embrace their diverse older neighborhoods. Over 4,000 buildings are on the City’s Historic Building Study List. Alameda City Hall, one of the oldest in California, is a historical monument
Alameda is a wonderful island community, with its tree lined streets, friendly neighborhoods, great schools and lovely architecture.
