Transforming Homes with Custom Windows: A Sandy, UT Remodel Case Study

Client Background

M3 Windows & Doors partnered with Bya Patzner of Design & Build by Bya, a talented home designer known for her full-scale remodels. This project took place in Sandy, Utah, near the canyon, where the homeowner wanted to completely reimagine the look and feel of their home.

The goal was to create a cohesive design that tied together both the interior and exterior aesthetics, while maximizing the stunning views surrounding the property. The challenge? Upgrading from smaller, standard windows to large, custom-sized windows that matched the overall theme of the redesign.
