SET UP & REMOVAL

Preparation

We protect floors and nearby furniture with drop-cloths and double check your framing to ensure products will fit properly before removing your old doors and windows.

Tear-Out

Out with the old, in with the new! We remove and dispose of your tired, old doors and windows and replace any damaged or rotted wood to ensure a solid fit.

Product Installation

Windows/doors are installed with expert precision, ensuring your products are plum, level, square and properly shimmed. We then add minimally-expanding foam insulation to ensure the finished project is air-tight.

Finishing Touches

No cutting corners here! We apply new casing your home’s interior and properly cap/caulk the exterior. We finish the project with aluminum coil capping to cover any gaps left between the new window and the brick or siding, which we think looks downright beautiful.
