If you are looking for old world craftsmanship with state of the art technology.....you have to see Grabill's genuine mahogany windows and doors. Grabill Windows and Doors is know for their superior, high quality, efficient products, and this is certainly no exception. Grabill has incorporated mahogany in their architectural windows for years while creating masterpieces for many of the most spectacular homes across the country. Genuine mahogany windows encompass a wide range of styles including; direct set and corner butt glazed oversized windows, out-swing casements, and historical double hung windows. Custom mahogany doors or lift and slide entry systems can be incorporated into the design as well. To complete the look Grabill uses solid bronze hardware with their own hand-rubbed and custom finishes.


Grabill Windows and Doors Joins the Local Business Alliance

The women of Grabill Windows and Doors are taking some time away from their business of manufacturing architectural wood windows and doors to be part of a local womens group.  Partner and CFO Teresa Grabill and Office Manager Tammy Pepper recently joined the Almont Women Business Owners Alliance created by the Almont Downtown Development Authority and Tri County Bank.  The ladies were invited to attend as Grabill Windows and Doors is one of the largest manufacturing facilities in Almont and unique to the area with their custom wood or clad window and door creations.  The CFO and Office Manager will join other local business owners or managers to network and share ideas, education opportunities and to create a forum for women to help other women.  The group hopes to be involved with local career days, mentoring and donations for local womens shelters.

Introducing Avalanche Windows

Grabill is currently working on the final phases of a project in the midwest that incorporates Avalanche Windows into the design.  These windows and doors will be as strong as the structure and can withstand the extreme conditions found in the mountain regions.

Avalanche Window glass is built to pressure and impact standards higher than the most stringent hurricane codes.  Through reinforced sash and impact rated window and door hardware, we are able to ensure that the glass is held tight in the unit.  Where units come together, Grabill has designed a unique system of integrating and concealing structural steel that maintains clean lines and the all-wood beauty.

Historical Restoration Project

This historic boarding house was built around 1870 in Menlo Park, New Jersey and was one of the first to be wired for electrical light by Thomas Edison during the pubic lighting demonstration of December 1879. One of the earliest buildings moved to the historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan honoring Edison. Fire broke out in the Sarah Jordan House on January 5, 2009. With fire and extensive smoke damage, there were great efforts to restore the boarding house before the reopening of Greenfield Village on April 15, 2009.

Grabill restored and replicated to its original condition single hung windows with weight and pulley balances, crown moulding, beveled siding, soffet brackets and shutters to exact detail.

Grabill Recognized for Historical Restoration Project - Denver, CO


Historical Steel Building

Grabill continues to do historical restorations with the most recent being the landmark preservation of downtown Denver’s Steel building, now known as the Sage Building. Grabill was able to recreate modern energy-efficient pivot windows that work exactly as they did in 1923. Replica awning and double hung windows were also included. Solid bronze pivot hardware was recast for authenticity.

This project has since won the Silver Hard Hat Award for outstanding restoration / renovation project as noted in the October 8th issue of Colorado Construction.
