The Boston Building Materials Co-op carries a wide range of doors and windows (and related products), including state of the art, energy efficient designs as well as those products that respect the historical integrity of the home.
Windows (also see Storm Products)
Whether your project involves replacing just one double hung sash pair to match the design of your existing windows, or purchasing a large quantity of new construction windows for a renovation or addition, BBMC can help you find the products you need at a reasonable price.
BBMC sells both replacement and new construction windows. Our selection includes all wood, aluminum-clad, vinyl, and aluminum construction.
Doors
Customers can purchase doors both "pre-hung" and "door-only." We offer interior and exterior doors in a variety of styles and sizes.
Our inventory of interior doors includes historically significant two and five panel fir, and four and six panel pine.
Exterior doors can be ordered with a fully weatherstripped jamb and an attractive wood threshold. Fiberglass Therma-Tru doors are a popular choice for their energy-efficient properties and attractive wood-grain look. Another door of note is Rogue Valley Door's true divided light French door with insulated glass and 1-3/8" wood muntins. Customers interested in keeping their existing door jambs may order the door only.
Please come in and see our door display. To place an order or to discuss your particular needs, please call our offices at 617-442-2262 to speak to one of our experienced staff.
