SARASOTA, Fla. — PGT Windows and Doors, part of the MITER Brands portfolio and America’s authority in high-performance windows and doors, recently joined forces with Lee Wetherington Homes, a top rated, privately owned custom luxury home builder in Sarasota, to collaborate on Lee Wetherington’s own personal legacy project, located in east Sarasota County.

Set on more than 30 acres, the property features a custom home designed by Wetherington himself, as well as an accompanying barndominium and regenerative farm.

The home features:

• WinGuard Aluminum impact windows and doors (Single Hung 7700A, Picture Window 7720A, Preferred Sliding Glass Door 770, and Preferred View Sliding Glass Door 770NS) in bronze
• Insulated, high performance Low-E glass for energy efficiency and interior comfort
• 90-degee corner meet 770NS that opens an entire corner of the home to the patio 
• A dramatic 5’6” x 10’0” WINDOOR, also a part of the MITER Brands portfolio, pivot entry door (PV9998A) in bronze that anchors the home with both strength and elegance

“When I was choosing products for our home, I wanted partners who shared the same values my company has stood for over the last 45 years,” said Wetherington. “PGT has earned a longstanding reputation in our community for integrity, quality, and doing right by people. Their windows protect what matters during storms, improve energy efficiency, and at the same time, deliver a clean, modern design that frames the views instead of competing with them. That balance of performance and beauty is exactly what I believe in.”

Adjacent to the home is a two-bedroom, two-bath barndominium, where PGT products also play a central role. Available as a short-term rental for guests who want to work the farm or just enjoy the views, the barndominium uses:

• WinGuard Aluminum impact windows and doors (Single Hung 7700A, Picture Window 7720A, Casement Window 740,and Preferred Sliding Glass Door 770) in bronze
• Insulated, high performance Low-E glass that balances natural light with energy performance
  In both the home and the barndominium, the windows and doors reflect a shared approach between the two brands: build once, build well, and prioritize long-term durability.

“Being that we are both Sarasota County born companies shaped by long-term thinking, we were honored to work with Lee on his personal legacy project,” said Benji Hershberger, director of product management for MITER Brands. “Our products are engineered for Florida’s climate, trusted for hurricane protection, and designed to feel current and timeless at once, but for Lee, they do more than meet performance standards. They create a sense of calm and continuity between indoors and out, allowing the rhythms of farm life and nature to shape daily living and enhance wellness with light-filled spaces.”
