Building a new home means making a lot of decisions before the first box is unpacked. Windows and doors are a big part of that process because they affect the home’s curb appeal, natural light, energy efficiency, security, and how each room feels once the house is finished.
Building in Elmwood? Legacy Window & Door can help you sort through the window and door decisions that come with a new home, from glass and frame materials to energy-efficient options, entry doors, and patio doors. We’ll help you make those choices early and coordinate the installation with the build.
New construction windows are installed while a home is being built rather than fitted into an existing finished opening as part of a home improvement project or window replacement. That gives you more flexibility when planning window sizes, configurations, placement, and exterior finishes.
We approach exterior doors the same way. Entry doors and patio doors need to work with the home’s framing, siding, trim, and other exterior details, so choosing these products as part of the construction process can make it easier to create a finished look that feels intentional rather than pieced together later.
Our new construction services include:
Available products vary by manufacturer, style, and project. We can discuss the options for your home and help you select windows and doors based on the design, openings, performance needs, and budget.
New construction installation isn't the same as replacing windows in an existing home. The installation needs to work with the framing and construction schedule, and our team has experience with new-construction window and door projects.
A new home gives you plenty of choices, from vinyl or wood frames to different window styles, glass packages, entry doors, and patio doors. We can walk through those options with you and help narrow them down based on the house and how you plan to use it.
Windows and doors have a direct effect on heat loss and heat gain in a home. We can discuss energy-efficient products, insulated glass, and Low-E coatings that can help improve thermal performance and potentially reduce heating and cooling costs.
Legacy Window & Door is locally owned and serves Omaha, Elmwood, Eastern Nebraska, and surrounding communities. That local experience gives our team familiarity with the homes, weather, and construction projects found throughout the area.
The windows and doors you choose during construction will be part of the home for a long time. Getting the selections and installation details sorted out early can make the rest of the building process easier to coordinate.

Skyline Imaging has been expeditious and professional from start to finish. Dillon Pigsley was super pleasant to work with throughout the claim process and scheduled services. Roofers were there early and gone before 4:30pm. Roof looks great and the property was cleaned up very well.

Skyline Imaging did a wonderful job on our roof and soffit. Their team was thorough, cleaned up great, and did a quality job with quality materials. We’d recommend them to anyone looking to replace their roof, siding, or trim! Thank you, Skyline Imaging, LLC

Dillon and Khalil were great to work with. They worked closely with our insurance company & kept us informed throughout the process. We had an issue with the roof install that needed to be addressed and Skyline Imaging worked with us to make sure we were happy with the finished product. I would definitely recommend working with these guys!

New construction windows are installed while the home is being built, before the surrounding exterior materials are finished. They typically use a nailing fin that attaches the window to the framing, while replacement windows are designed to fit into an existing finished opening.
Common choices include double-hung, casement, and sliding windows, along with other configurations. The right style depends on the room, size and shape of the opening, ventilation needs, exterior design, and how you want the window to operate.
Both can work well, but they have different characteristics. Vinyl windows are often chosen for their lower maintenance and thermal performance, while wood windows offer a traditional appearance and natural insulating properties but require more attention to moisture and finish protection.
They can help reduce heat transfer and air leakage compared with older or less efficient window products. Double- or triple-pane insulated glass, Low-E coatings, and appropriate thermal performance ratings can all contribute to better efficiency, although actual energy savings depend on the entire home.
Triple-pane windows can be worth considering when higher thermal performance is a priority. The additional pane creates another layer between the indoors and outdoors, which can reduce heat loss during cold weather, but the added cost should be weighed against the performance you’re looking for.
New homes can include entry doors, patio doors, and interior doors in a variety of materials and styles. Entry doors may be fiberglass or steel, while patio doors can be configured around the home’s layout and connection to the outdoor space.
Yes. Window frames, glass, entry doors, patio doors, trim, and siding can all contribute to the finished exterior. Coordinating these selections during construction can help the home’s curb appeal feel consistent rather than having each element chosen separately.
It’s best to discuss them early in the construction process because window and door sizes, styles, and installation requirements can affect the framing and construction schedule. Having the selections made ahead of installation also gives the builder and installer time to coordinate the work.
New construction windows must meet applicable building requirements for the project. Requirements can relate to areas such as structural performance, energy efficiency, safety glazing, and other factors, so the specific requirements depend on the home and location.
