BENCHMARK Windows & Doors

About Us

Who We are:
Hi. It’s us. Dave + Lindsay.
Yes, we sell windows and doors. No, we’re not “window salespeople.” (We know. Shocking.)
We like good projects. And we’re mildly allergic to bad decisions. So who are we?

Dave — 25+ years in custom homes, finishing, and heritage conservation. Owner of Chalmers Heritage for 15+ years and current President of the Calgary Civic Trust. If a 100-year-old building needs attention, chances are he’s already been called. MARVIN didn’t stumble across him — they went looking. That’s where the window and door story started.

Lindsay — registered interior designer, former partner at Reimagine Architecture (formerly Manasc Isaac), and professional question-asker. Background in sustainable architecture and healthy interiors, which means if it looks good but performs terribly, it’s not happening.

What we actually do: We ask a lot of questions. We get into the details. We make sure what’s drawn can actually be built—and performs and aligns with the aesthetic intent the way everyone hopes it will.

What we DON’T do: Push product that doesn’t belong on your project. (Wild concept.)

We work with homeowners, architects, designers, and builders because we speak the language — and when needed, we translate it.

If our product isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you. And then we’ll help you find the right one anyway.
Because the goal isn’t to sell you something. It’s to make sure your project doesn’t go sideways over a window detail.

BENCHMARK.
Elevating everything you’d expect from windows and doors.
