Clayton homeowners looking for custom windows and doors are usually working with openings that no stock product was made for. Kirkwood Home Gallery has supplied and installed custom windows and doors across St. Louis County, and our showroom sits just south of Clayton on Hanley. We measure, specify, and install to the home in front of us.
Serving Clayton Homeowners
Clayton is the county seat of St. Louis County, and its residential streets were largely built out before the war. Claverach Park was laid out in the early 1920s by Julius Pitzman, with curved streets and mature trees. DeMun and The Moorlands are dense and walkable, built around brick and limestone masonry. Newer pockets such as Clayshire follow a post-war subdivision pattern, and infill construction continues across the city.
That range matters when you replace a window or a door. A 1920s masonry opening behaves nothing like a 1960s ranch opening, and neither is a good match for off-the-shelf sizing. We install products from Sierra Pacific Windows, Kolbe Windows and Doors, DSA Master Crafted Doors, Therma-Tru Doors, and Signature Door Inc., which lets us specify to the opening rather than ask the opening to accept what is in stock.
Clayton sits at the center of our service area. We also work throughout neighboring communities, including Kirkwood and Town and Country.
Custom Windows for Clayton Homes
Casement Windows
Casement windows open the sightline and give you direct control over ventilation, which suits rooms facing a tree-lined street or a narrow side yard. Our casement options span a range of materials and configurations, with precision hardware built for years of daily use.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are the default across much of Clayton’s pre-war housing stock, and getting the proportions right is most of the job. We supply double-hung windows matched to original profiles, with tilt-in sashes available where straightforward cleaning matters more than strict period accuracy.
Sliding Windows
Where swing clearance is tight, which is common on Clayton’s smaller lots and closer setbacks, sliding windows are the practical answer. We supply them in materials from wood to aluminum-clad, with smooth operation and dependable weather sealing.
Bay and Bow Windows
A bay or bow window adds depth to a facade and pulls more light into the room behind it. Projection styles need careful structural planning and precise installation, and we handle both from selection through finish.
Custom Doors for Clayton Homes
Entry Doors
On a walkable street, your front door is seen up close and every day. We offer entry doors from traditional wood designs to contemporary styles, with broad choices in glass configurations, hardware, and finish. Every door is specified for security, weather resistance, and long-term operation.
French Doors
French doors work well opening a living space onto a rear garden or connecting two interior rooms without closing off the light. We offer traditional divided lite patterns and cleaner contemporary frames, paired with quality glazing and hardware built to last.
Exterior Doors
Side entries, rear doors, and garage access deserve the same fit and finish as the front of the house. Our exterior doors stand up to Midwest weather while staying consistent with the home’s overall design.
Applications We Serve in Clayton
Pre-War Home Restorations
Much of Clayton’s housing stock predates modern window standards, and replacements need to respect original profiles, muntin layouts, and hardware. We source period-appropriate products with current materials and glazing inside them. As an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, we handle renovation work in older homes to the required standard.
Whole-House Renovations
A full renovation is the right moment to deal with windows and doors together rather than one at a time. We work to your project schedule and move you through selection efficiently so the right products arrive when the build needs them.
Room Additions and Sunrooms
New space should read as part of the original house. We source windows and doors that match existing profiles, finishes, and proportions while meeting the specific demands of the addition.
New Construction and Infill Builds
Building on a Clayton lot means fitting a new house into an established street. We work with homeowners, builders, and architects through selection and specification so the window and door package supports the design from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of custom windows do you supply in Clayton?
We work with casement, double-hung, sliding, and bay and bow styles, sourced through trusted manufacturers and specified to your home’s measurements. For pre-war homes, that means profiles and proportions that match what is already there. For newer builds and additions, it means clean lines and current performance standards.
Can you match the windows and doors in my 1920s Clayton home?
Yes. Matching original profiles, muntin patterns, and period hardware is routine work for us, and our manufacturer network gives us the range to do it. Modern materials and glazing options are available within those period designs, so authenticity does not cost you performance.
Do you work on masonry openings?
Yes. Brick and limestone construction is common across Clayton, and those openings rarely match standard sizing. Custom fabrication to exact measurements is the core of what we do, which avoids the compromises that come with modifying a stock unit to fit.
How much do custom windows and doors cost compared to standard products?
Custom products carry a higher initial investment than basic stock options, though the difference is often smaller than homeowners expect once you compare against premium stock lines. The better measure is long-term value: a product specified to your opening and installed correctly will outperform a modified standard alternative over time. We provide detailed quotes through the consultation process so you can weigh your options with full information.
