About North Pennsylvania Street

Local Window Treatment Experience in North Pennsylvania Street

The North Pennsylvania Street Historic District joined the National Register in December 2023. It runs from 46th Street north to Westfield Boulevard and from the west side of Pennsylvania Street east to the east side of New Jersey Street, so Delaware Street and Washington Boulevard fall inside it too. Some of these streets, Delaware and New Jersey among them, end without warning because landowners subdivided the area piece by piece. Pennsylvania Street and Washington Boulevard, along with Meridian Street, are where the neighborhood's wealthy residents built grand homes. The houses here date from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s, with lots of roughly 7,400 to 8,200 square feet and sizes from about 1,600 to 4,400 square feet.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">A window treatment plan in North Pennsylvania Street starts with your own rooms. We'll use the housing details here as background, then check the openings and ask how you use the space. Your in home design consultation is free. We'll look at your openings and talk through the rooms you're planning to cover.

We offer repairs only on treatments The Window Valet installed or has serviced before. If we haven't worked on your treatments, we'll book a consultation for new ones. We have served North Pennsylvania Street homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Meridian-Kessler crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Housing and window planning in North Pennsylvania Street

The largest houses are two story brick or brick and stone designs. English Tudors from 1930 on the 5300 block of Pennsylvania Street run about 4,400 square feet, and 1934 houses on the 5600 block reach about 4,200 after two story additions, some under slate roofs. Smaller houses share the streets: 1926 houses on Delaware Street come in near 1,600 square feet, and 1927 houses on Pennsylvania Street around 2,300. Houses from 1936 on Washington Boulevard measure about 3,400 on lots of roughly 7,400 square feet, so a single block can hold houses that differ by more than double in size.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What It Means For Your Windows

What to check at the windows in North Pennsylvania Street

Leaded glass shows up in this district, with refurbished leaded windows in some of the 1934 houses on Pennsylvania Street, and the English Tudor designs here commonly pair leaded glass with casement sash. A casement shade has to clear the crank, so the crew checks the hardware before it picks a mount. Houses on the 4600 block have large living room windows and French doors from the kitchen to the rear yard. A wide window like that often works better with two shades side by side than one, since a single wide shade can sag, and a door needs a treatment that rides with it and clears the handle.

We'll look at the way light enters your North Pennsylvania Street rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Check the crank and the sash

We'll operate a casement before choosing an inside mount. The crank and the moving sash need space, and a headrail that fits the opening still has to clear both.

Allow for the door swing

We'll check the treatment against the door handles and the path of each door. Fabric and hardware need to stay clear when you open the doors, and the mounting position gets settled before ordering.

Check the mounting depth

We'll measure the usable space inside each frame before recommending an inside mount. If the headrail would project too far, we'll discuss an outside mount and show where it would sit.

Choose privacy for the room

We'll ask what the room needs after dark as well as during the day. A sample held against the actual glass gives you a better starting point than choosing from a small picture.

What We Specify Here

Products to compare for your North Pennsylvania Street home

These are options to discuss during your North Pennsylvania Street consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.

Cellular shades for casement openings

A cellular shade is an option to review at a casement window. We'll check the headrail against the crank and confirm where the shade sits when the sash is open.

Roller shades for door glass

A roller shade can be worth considering on door glass where a hanging panel gets in the way. We'll check the usable space and talk through how you want to operate each door.

Roller shades for everyday light control

A roller shade is an option to compare when you'd like the treatment to roll out of the way. We'll review the fabric in the room and discuss how much privacy you need at night.

Cellular shades for room by room coverage

A cellular shade is worth comparing where you'd like a compact treatment at the window. We'll look at the opening and discuss how much daylight you want when it's lowered.
