You know both of them. The window fogs, the door needs a shoulder in August, and the room they're in is the one nobody sits in. Windows and doors across New London County since 2018, majority veteran staffed, with the number in writing before anything comes out of the wall.
Everybody's got one. The question is whether it's the glass, the door, or the frame both of them are hanging in. Check anything you've noticed.
Anybody can order a window. The job is the opening it goes into, and whether the water that gets past the glass has somewhere to go. All eight are in the written number before we start.
If it's on that list, it's in the price. Change orders happen when somebody left three of these out to win the bid.
There are two ways to replace a window and they are not the same job. One of them is half the price, and there's a reason. Here's both, including which one we'd pick for your house and why.
If the frame is sound, an insert is the right answer and the cheaper one, and we will tell you that. If it isn't, we will show you the sill and let you decide. Either way it says which one on the quote.
It's a frame problem. The house moved, the opening racked a quarter inch, and the door is just the part that tells you. Planing the edge fixes it until August, when the wood swells and it's back.
Three of these have answers that cost us money. They're here anyway, because you're going to find out eventually and we'd rather it was now.
Depends entirely on the frame. If your old frame is sound, an insert is the right answer and it's cheaper, and we'll say so.
If the sill is soft, an insert just covers it up and you find out in eight years. We'll show you the frame and let you look at it yourself. The quote says which one it is.
Depends on how many, what size, insert or full-frame, and what the openings look like once the old units are out. Anyone giving you a number over the phone is guessing.
We measure every opening on its own, walk it, and you get a real number in writing. Free, and yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Some. Not as much as the brochure says.
Going from single-pane to modern double-pane is a real difference you'll feel. Going from ten-year-old double-pane to new double-pane is mostly not. If somebody's promising you a payback number, ask them how they worked it out.
No. Do the bad ones. Do the rest whenever you want, or never.
We'd rather do four windows properly this year than talk you into fourteen and have you hate the whole experience.
Most houses are one to three days. A full-frame job on a big opening takes longer than an insert on a small one.
Nothing sits open overnight. Whatever comes out goes back in the same day, and your written quote gives the real window.
You hear about it that day, with a photo and a number, before we replace anything.
A soft sill is common on a house over forty and it's usually not a crisis. What it is, is the reason an insert would have been the wrong call. You'll see it before you pay for it.
We can. It'll be back in August.
A door that sticks means the frame moved, and taking wood off the door doesn't put the frame back. It works until the humidity turns, then you've got a door that sticks and a gap where it used to close. We'd rather square the opening once.
Interior casing and exterior capping are part of the job, not a line item that shows up at the end.
If you're planning new siding in the next few years, tell us now. Doing windows first means the siding gets cut to them properly instead of the other way round.
Windows move. Houses settle, seasons turn, and once in a while a sash needs a tweak that takes ten minutes. Thirty miles means ten minutes is all it costs us too, which is why we'd rather be the ones who put them in.
Sitting just outside the line? Ask anyway. The answer is usually yes.
