Installing, repairing, or changing doors and windows can significantly enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency of your home. Here are some essential steps and considerations for each task:

1. Window Installation:

   • Identify the Replacement Window Type:
     • Choose between full-frame replacement (removing the entire window, frame, molding, and jambs) or insert/pocket replacement (replacing the window itself while leaving the framing in place).
   • Measure the Old Window:
     • Measure the height of the pocket by measuring the inside of the frame.
   • Prep the Area:
     • Remove any storm windows first.
     • Identify the sashes (movable parts of the window holding the glass panes together).
   • Safety Note: If your house was built before 1978 and contains lead paint, take proper lead safety precautions.
   • Install the Replacement Window:
     • Follow manufacturer instructions for your specific window type.
     • Use flashing tape, wood shims, and exterior caulk.
     • Seal gaps with spray foam rated for window replacement.
     • Finish with paint or stain if desired.

2. Door Installation and Repair:

   • Identify Door Types:
     • Consider French doors, sliders, shower doors, and more.
   • Emergency Service:
     • For glass door emergencies, call 24/7 emergency service at 833-974-0209.
   • Glass Door Repair and Replacement:

   • Measure Accurately: Precise measurements are crucial for a proper fit.
   • Follow Building Codes: Adhere to local building codes and regulations.
   • Professional Help: For complex projects, consider hiring professionals.
