Your partner for smarter historic restorations
For four generations, Marvin has built a reputation for doing the tough window replacement projects. We collaborate early on with architects, facilities managers and general contractors; review products and options; navigate the National Parks Service guidelines; discuss window specifications with local historic commissions; and attend field testing. We offer the best project-based solutions and work with all participants to achieve excellent performance and historical accuracy.

Marvin’s architectural project managers (APMs) have strong relationships with historic field professionals and a deep knowledge of historic buildings, providing an ideal support system for window and door projects.
