To kick off the new At Home feature, it’s fitting to showcase one of the most unique and elaborate projects completed by New York Sash. This Cooperstown renovation highlights two of the biggest trends for window remodeling in 2025 – dark colors and geometric shapes – and it serves as a great showcase for what’s possible when design meets craftsmanship.
Mike and Lori Fink, owners of Tin Bin Alley—an iconic candy shop on Main Street in downtown Cooperstown—know a thing or two about family business and community commitment. Like New York Sash, they’re family-owned and dedicated to providing their customers with the very best. When it came time to remodel their home, they made the trip to our Idea & Design Center Showroom in Whitesboro to explore what we had to offer.
Multiple meetings and visits later and the design process took off. With so many unique window sizes and shapes, this project required creative solutions and custom craftsmanship – something our team excels at. In total, 38 new windows were installed, from large picture windows that capture the scenic Cooperstown views to geometric trapezoid and triangle designs that flood the home with natural light. We also installed three matching patio doors, with future plans in discussion for composite siding to complete the exterior transformation.
Modern Design
One of the fastest-growing design trends right now is dark and bold painted windows — and this Cooperstown home shows why. The homeowners chose a bronze exterior finish inside and out to match the current style of their home. Black exterior screens complete the look, blending into the bronze frame for a clean, seamless appearance. Painted finishes allow homeowners to add curb appeal while keeping the efficiency and performance of premium vinyl windows.
Another detail that makes this project stand out? Not a single double-hung window was installed. Every opening was carefully designed with casement, picture, awning, and slider styles—an uncommon choice that gives the home a modern look while maximizing light and ventilation.
Worry-Free Remodeling
New York Sash is a full-service company. For Mike and Lori, that meant we handled every step of the process: design, measurement, manufacturing coordination, delivery, installation, and warranty. Our goal is to make home remodeling as simple and stress-free as possible.
“Our experience with (Lead Installer) Chris and the entire crew was great! They all worked professionally and showed great respect for our home. It was a pleasure getting to know each and every person through this entire project!” Lori Fink, Google

Project for a Purpose
November is a great time to stop in. We’re hosting Projects for a Purpose in honor of Veteran’s Month. For every in-home price quote we schedule from the Showroom, we will donate $50 to Feed Our Vets, a local food pantry supporting Veterans and their families. And because we believe everyone deserves a chance to save, we’re extending our 22% Veteran’s Discount to all customers throughout November.
If bright bold colors and geometric shapes is your style – or you prefer a classic double hung with colonial grids – a new bathtub upgrade or tub to shower conversion – or maybe you just really need a new entry door – trust New York Sash. Let us show you what we mean when we say, Let Our Family Take Care Of Your Family.
