Window Installation.
Installing a door is much like installing a window, but with tighter requirements to stability of its base, and significantly tighter requirements to the square and security of the frame. Often we are able to install your old locks on the new door, but we can also install new locks at your request.Installing a window is an involved process. The original window is removed and the wall is examined for damage. Once deemed safe, the opening is adjusted to optimal size, leveled out, and lined with a waterproofing membrane. The window itself is squared, leveled out, screwed in, insulated, and waterproofed. A number of options for both outside and inside finish are available.

Build In.
A minor reduction of an opening may be required due to variations of architecture and window style to assure stability and level of the window. The opening is first lined with strips of wood or plywood of various thickness to properly reduce the opening before being insulated.
Buildout.
Depending on original window installation, wall thickness can be a variable that may be hidden until the wall is opened. Strips of wood or plywood can be installed to compensate for unconventional installations of windows, sidings, or indoor finish. This is most typically a factor in old houses, moved houses, DIY projects, and basements. In addition, buildout can be used to give support to wide cladding in high-traffic locations.
Capping.
One of the most versatile outside finishing options, aluminum cladding does not require painting and comes in an impressive range of colors.
Smartboard.
Battens shine their brightest when installed on new windows before siding, but it is possible to reinstall them if a new window is sized improperly or to replace them as needed.
Opening Reduction.
A window that is too big is an uncommon issue, but it can happen. It’s also possible to replace a door with a window or install a smaller window where large one was. Reduction of an opening usually requires additional siding, capping, or smartboard installation on the outside, and drywalling/mudding on the inside.
Opening Enlargement/Cutout.
Is your window too small? Want a door where window was? Is there a wall that seems bare without a window or in the way without a door? A cutout involves removal of framing, and usually replacement of the opening header to allow installation of a window or a door that was not allowed for by the original design. Due to the nature of the procedure it usually requires restoration of siding around the opening on the outside and drywalling/mudding on the inside.
Shaped Window.
The rectangular window is a staple of the business, and is the most convenient to engineer and install. However, one does not need to feel bound by this convention. Our crews have experience installing and finishing round, arched, and triangular windows. Naturally when shape of the new window does not match that of the original one, enlargement or more commonly reduction of the opening may be required.
