Windows and doors
Replacement and new openings, fitted and flashed so the wall around them stays dry.
A window is only as good as the opening it sits in. Most replacement problems are installation problems — flashing lapped the wrong way, an unsealed sill, a frame packed out of square.
That detail is not visible once the trim is on, which is exactly why it is worth doing properly.
Typical scope
- Window replacement, like-for-like or resized
- New openings, including the header work they need
- Entry, patio, and sliding doors
- Interior doors and hardware
- Egress windows for basement bedrooms
- Flashing, sealing, and insulating the opening
- Interior and exterior trim to match
Common questions
Can an existing window be made bigger, or a new one added?
Yes. Openings can be resized or cut new, including the header work that a new or widened opening needs to carry the load above it.
What keeps water out around a new window?
Flashing, sealing, and insulating the opening, which is the part of a window job that decides whether the wall around it stays dry.
A window fitted into an opening that was not flashed properly will leak regardless of how good the window is.
Can you fit an egress window for a basement bedroom?
Yes, and that is usually what makes a basement room count as a bedroom at all.
