Ranch style homes on the rise

It's the house in which many Americans grew up, and today homeowners are falling in love with the original ranch home all over again. As proof of its revival, the classic suburban ranch home was the favorite architectural style of respondents in the Perfect Home Survey, a home improvement study commissioned by window and door manufacturer JELD-WEN.

Homeowners love the floor plans of traditional ranch homes, but not all ranches feature an abundance of style or energy efficiency. Updated windows and doors can transform ranches to fit the needs of todays homeowner. Window and door technology has come a long way since the beginning of the ranch era more than 50 years ago and can help bring new life to worn-out, dark living areas.
