Door Installation and Replacement Services
Door installation requires more than placing a door within an opening. Structural framing, leveling, and secure fastening are essential to ensure smooth operation and durability.
Interior Door Installation
Interior doors must align correctly within existing walls and frames to open and close smoothly without binding or shifting. Installation includes adjusting hinges, ensuring even spacing, and securing the door to maintain long-term stability while supporting consistent daily use.
Exterior Door Installation
Exterior doors require additional considerations due to exposure to weather, temperature changes, and security demands. Doors are installed with proper sealing, weatherproofing, and anchoring to protect against drafts, moisture infiltration, and structural movement.
Window Installation and Replacement Services
Windows are integral to light control, ventilation, and insulation. Proper installation ensures windows function as intended while maintaining the integrity of surrounding walls and framing.
New Window Installation
New window installation involves preparing wall openings, securing frames, and sealing the perimeter to prevent air and water intrusion. Accurate placement and leveling are critical to ensure smooth operation and consistent appearance.
Window Replacement Projects
Replacing existing windows allows for correction of framing issues, outdated designs, or operational failures. Old units are removed carefully to preserve surrounding structures, and new windows are installed to ensure proper fit and long-term performance.
Structural Framing and Opening Preparation
Before doors or windows can be installed, openings must be properly prepared to support the new unit. This step is essential to prevent movement, misalignment, and future damage.
Frame Inspection and Adjustment
Existing frames are inspected for damage, warping, or deterioration. Any necessary adjustments or reinforcements are completed before installation to ensure the opening can securely support the door or window.
Opening Alignment and Support
Openings are leveled and squared to allow the door or window to operate smoothly. Structural support is verified to maintain alignment over time, especially in load-bearing walls.
Sealing, Insulation, and Weather Protection
Effective sealing and insulation are critical components of door and window installation. These elements protect the interior environment and help prevent long-term structural issues.
Weather Sealing and Flashing
Weather-resistant barriers and flashing are installed around exterior doors and windows to direct water away from the structure. Proper sealing reduces the risk of leaks and moisture-related damage.
Insulation and Gap Control
Insulation is applied around frames to eliminate gaps that can lead to drafts or energy loss. Controlled expansion materials are used to maintain alignment while providing effective thermal protection.
Interior and Exterior Finishing
Once doors and windows are securely installed, finishing work ensures a clean, cohesive appearance and proper integration with surrounding surfaces.
Trim and Casing Installation
Interior and exterior trim is installed to conceal gaps, protect edges, and complete the visual transition between the unit and the wall surface. Trim work is aligned carefully to maintain uniform spacing and clean lines.
Final Adjustments and Inspection
Doors and windows are tested for proper operation, alignment, and secure closure. Final adjustments are made to hinges, locks, and hardware to ensure smooth functionality and long-term reliability.
