Skiatook homes, in town or out by the lake
Windows, entry, patio and storm doors, and siding for Skiatook houses and lake places.
New windows and doors for Skiatook homes, in town or by the lake
T Town Windows & Doors is based in Tulsa, about 14 miles south, and run by brothers Andrey and Vadim Napelenok. Their own crew replaces windows and doors at Skiatook houses, from the home you live in every day to a lake house you rent to guests or keep for weekends.
T Town Windows & Doors belongs to Andrey and Vadim Napelenok, who have put in windows, doors and siding for 17+ years. On a Skiatook job the brothers supervise and help on site, and the people installing are their own long-time crew, with no part of the work handed to a subcontractor.
Windows, entry, patio and storm doors, and siding for Skiatook houses and lake places.
Commercial windows and doors for Skiatook apartments and buildings, with aluminum storefronts for shops.
Whether your house is in town, in a newer subdivision or out toward the lake, we bring the samples to it, and our own crew does the installing.
Gentek Signature Elite vinyl windows and the Andersen 100 Series, in any style you order, from double-hung and sliding windows to casements, bays and bows. Ask to see how each sample locks, above all for a house that sits empty between visits.
Fiberglass, steel or wood front doors, chosen with you at the house after we look over the old door, its frame and the jamb its lock bolts into.
Gentek sliding patio doors and hinged French doors for the deck or patio side of the house, picked with you in the opening itself.
A storm door hung outside the entry door you keep, with glass or a screen, for the front of the house or a door that faces the water.
Vinyl siding or James Hardie fiber cement, as a job of its own or done along with the windows. Hardie's HZ10 boards are the line made for heat and humidity.
We had an outstanding experience with Andrey, Vadim, and the entire installation team. They were professional, highly skilled, and took obvious pride in their work from start to finish. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, paid close attention to detail, and treated our home with care. The quality of the installation exceeded our expectations, and they made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Itโs refreshing to work with craftsmen who are knowledgeable, courteous, and committed to doing the job right. I would highly recommend Andrey, Vadim, and their team to anyone looking for top-quality window installation.
Vadim & Andrey were terrific! Professional and thoughtful, took time before they got started to answer our questions and again at the end to make sure we were happy and knew how to work and care for our awesome new windows. They took the time to hear my concern about how two different windows may be โset backโ differently compared to the brick facade, talked to me about how they would adjust for it and executed perfectly. They do great work, things look very well finished and these guys caulk lines are second to NONE!! Thanks guys, will be recommending we get you for phase 2!
We got our windows installed today by renewal by Andersonโs. Our installers were.Vadim and Andrey. They were kind, informative of what they were doing and very professional. They cleaned up everything. The windows are beautiful. We were so impressed. I wished I did this a long time ago. Thank you so much!
Wanted to say thank you to Vadim and Andrey and their team for the great work on my new windows and door. Was told it take all day and they were finished in about 5 hours. They went over instructions on how to open and close and take the screens out, cleaned up and took all the old windows and door. Iโm very impressed with their work and the windows are amazing! Once again thank you guys for the hard work and timely service!
Installation day I did not know what to expect. Vadim's and Andre's crew showed up shortly after 8 am. The entire 5-man crew worked diligently through the heat and high winds. They were all polite and answered any questions I had. They covered my furniture and put down carpet to protect my belongings. I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the crew; they worked as a team and installed all 19 windows in one day. The crew vacuumed the carpet and cleaned up their work area. My previous windows were so foggy I had forgotten what a beautiful view I have of my backyard. My windows no longer sing when the wind blows and they make it much quieter. Thank you for a job well-done.
Vadim and his team did a fabulous job. They exceeded my expectations. Windows are beautiful, functional and have transformed the look of my home.
These window installers surpass professionalism. They were prompt curtious and friendly professional. Above all they worked quietly and very efficient. Vadim and Tim were two very unique individuals. I will recommend their service to everyone. Thank you gentlemen my house is already much cooler
Skiatook's homes run from older houses in town to newer subdivisions and places out past the city limits, and each one raises its own questions about new windows and doors.
Older home in town
About 4 in 10 homes inside Skiatook's city limits were built in 1979 or earlier. In a house from before 1978, paint on the old window frames and trim can contain lead, and the EPA requires anyone paid to disturb it to be certified: Andrey and Vadim are EPA lead-safe certified renovators.
Newer home
About 4 in 10 homes in town went up in 2000 or later. If yours opens to a deck or backyard through a sliding glass door, that is the door police checklists ask about by name: whether its panel can be lifted out of the track, and whether a pin or dowel holds it shut.
Lake house or rental
Many lake houses around Skiatook belong to owners who live or work in Tulsa and rent them to guests between their own visits. About 2,700 homes with a Skiatook ZIP code sit outside the city limits, some of them out toward the lake. For a house that sits empty or changes hands every few days, Seattle Police put it simply: close and lock the windows whenever you are away, so locks you can check quickly matter more there.
What the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Census Bureau, the state wildlife department and the City say about Skiatook, and what to look at on each door and window of any house, most of all one you leave locked.
Look for: a lock you can check at a glance
Seattle Police note that a window's catch is a latch, not a lock, and advise closing and locking every window whenever you are away. Gentek's Signature Elite brochure describes a cam lock with an indicator that shows when a sash is not locked, and vent stops that let a window open only partway. Keep any extra block removable from inside, since a bedroom window can be a way out in a fire.
Look for: a panel that cannot lift or slide
Some older sliding doors can be lifted off their track, which defeats the latch, Seattle Police warn. A snug bar or dowel in the inside track, or screws set into the top track so the panel only just clears, keeps it in place. Gentek builds its sliding doors with steel reinforcement at the interlocks and lock rails.
Look for: long screws into the wall stud
The weakest point of a door that gets kicked is almost always the strike plate, which is often fastened only to thin trim, Seattle Police find. They advise a deadbolt with a throw of at least 1 inch, and 3- to 4-inch screws through the strike plate and the hinges into the wall stud.
Look for: how many points it locks at
A storm door in front of the entry is a second door to get through only if it locks. Andersen's 4000 Series storm door, for one, locks at the top, middle and bottom of the frame on its laminated-glass models, so ask what the storm door on your quote locks with.

Cherokee leader William C. Rogers ran a trading post on Bird Creek, and a post office opened there as Ski-a-took in 1872. When the Midland Valley Railroad arrived in March 1905, the settlement moved to the tracks and was incorporated that May 28. It had 342 residents at statehood in 1907, 7,397 by 2010 and 8,453 in the 2020 census.

Skiatook's municipal offices are in Tulsa County, but the move to the railroad put part of the town in Osage County, and that part is now the larger one. The 2020 Census counted 5,950 of the city's 8,450 residents and 2,325 of its 3,358 homes on the Osage County side.

Skiatook Lake was impounded in 1984, the Oklahoma Historical Society records. The state wildlife department lists it at 10,190 acres with 187 miles of shoreline, about 10 miles west of town along Highway 20 in Osage County, and the Corps of Engineers runs it for flood control, water supply, water quality, recreation, and fish and wildlife.
The 74070 ZIP area held 6,058 homes in the 2020 Census, against 3,358 inside Skiatook's city limits, so about 2,700 homes with a Skiatook address sit outside the city. Inside the limits, the median home was built in 1989, and about 4 in 10 date from 2000 or later.

The City of Skiatook's remodel permit form says that issuing a building permit does not ensure the work complies with the covenants, conditions and restrictions on the property. A subdivision's own rules on exterior changes are a separate check. City Hall is at 110 N. Broadway, (918) 396-2797.

Ask these before new windows or doors go into any Skiatook house, whoever installs them. They matter most at a lake house you rent out or a second home that sits empty. Each one comes from police crime-prevention advice or a maker's own documents.
At a lake house or a second home you may not be there for the whole install, so know by name who will be working inside.
Our answer: Our own crew, never a subcontractor, with Andrey and Vadim supervising and working on site.
Seattle Police point out that a window's catch is a latch, not a lock, and their first advice for a house you are away from is to close and lock every window.
Check first: Ask to see the lock on the sample. Gentek's Signature Elite brochure describes a cam lock with an indicator that shows when a sash is not locked.
Seattle Police Department; Gentek Signature Elite brochure
Some older sliding doors can be lifted off the track, which defeats the latch, and police home security checklists ask this question by name.
Check first: Ask what keeps the new panel in its track, and whether a bar or dowel fits the inside track.
Seattle Police Department; Suffolk County Police Department
A storm door hung in front of the entry adds a second locked door only if it has a lock of its own. Andersen's 4000 Series, for example, locks at the top, middle and bottom on its laminated-glass models.
Check first: Ask which lock comes with the storm door on your quote.
Andersen, 4000 Series storm door
Gentek's lifetime limited warranty covers the frames, the sealed glass and the locking hardware for as long as the original owner owns and lives in the property.
Check first: Before you order, ask the maker in writing how that wording applies to a weekend or lake house.
Gentek, Lifetime Limited Warranty (2019)
About 2,700 homes with a Skiatook ZIP code sit outside the city limits, and the City's own remodel permit form says a building permit does not ensure the work meets a property's covenants.
Check first: Call City Hall at (918) 396-2797 with your address, and read your subdivision's rules on exterior changes.
City of Skiatook; U.S. Census Bureau
What to look at on each outside door of a Skiatook home, from the hardware that holds it shut to the glass around it.
A pair of glass doors, or a door with a sidelight, puts glass close to the lock. Suffolk County Police ask whether any door glass sits within 40 inches of the lock, and Seattle Police want a deadbolt throw of at least 1 inch on every outside door.
Entry doors
Gentek builds its sliding patio doors with steel reinforcement at the interlocks and lock rails, and rolls the panel on tandem rollers in an aluminum track. Its French-style handle adds a top lock.
Patio and sliding doors
A storm door adds glass or a screen in front of the entry door you keep. Some lock at more than one point: Andersen's 4000 Series storm door locks at the top, middle and bottom on its laminated-glass versions.

Skiatook is about 14 miles north of downtown Tulsa in a straight line, at the junction of State Highways 11 and 20. T Town Windows & Doors is based in Tulsa and has no office in Skiatook, but its own crew works there, and estimates at Skiatook homes are free, the same as around Tulsa.
Skiatook is in both Tulsa County and Osage County. The Oklahoma Historical Society notes that its municipal offices are in Tulsa County, but the 2020 Census counted most of the city on the Osage side: 5,950 of its 8,450 residents and 2,325 of its 3,358 homes. Many 74070 addresses are outside the city limits altogether.
A city permit for new windows is not spelled out on Skiatook's permits page, which lists a residential building permit and a remodel permit among its applications. Call City Hall at (918) 396-2797 about your job before work starts. If your address is outside the city limits, ask the county it is in instead.
Subdivision covenants can matter, and the City of Skiatook says so on its own remodel permit form: a city building permit does not ensure the work complies with the covenants, conditions and restrictions on the property. If your subdivision has rules on exterior changes, read them before you pick window colors, grid patterns or a new front door.
Skiatook Lake covers about 10,190 acres with 187 miles of shoreline, according to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, and lies about 10 miles west of town along Highway 20 in Osage County. The Oklahoma Historical Society dates its impoundment to 1984, and the Corps of Engineers runs it for flood control, water supply, recreation and wildlife.
A sliding patio door is harder to force open when its panel cannot be lifted out of the track and something blocks it from sliding. Seattle Police note that some older sliders lift right off the track, and they suggest a snug bar or dowel in the inside track, a pin through the frames, or screws in the top track.
Gentek's lifetime limited warranty runs for as long as the original owner owns and lives in the property, and a building owned by a company or other entity gets a 30-year prorated warranty instead. How that wording applies to a weekend or lake house is for Gentek to say, so ask in writing before you order. We pass on and explain every maker's warranty.
Yes, T Town Windows & Doors replaces windows and doors at Skiatook lake houses that owners rent to guests, not only at homes people live in. When you call (918) 619-2010, tell us when guests are booked, and ask how the walkthrough and the install day would fit between stays. Locks your guests can check at a glance are worth asking about too.
T Town Windows & Doors' own crew installs the windows and doors at a Skiatook house, with no subcontractors. Brothers Andrey and Vadim Napelenok own the company, supervise each job and work on site, and both hold Renewal by Andersen Certified Master Installer certificates and EPA lead-safe renovator certificates.
Phone (918) 619-2010 or use the form, and tell us where the house is and which windows or doors you want to change.
We have no showroom, so the samples and brochures come with us, and we go through each window and door with you.
We tell you what each opening needs and lay out the options that fit it, so you do not pay for anything the house does not need.
Our own long-time crew does the installing, with Andrey and Vadim supervising and helping on site.
Call (918) 619-2010 or send your address and what you want changed, and we set a time to go through the house with you.
