A good window installed badly leaks air and water like a bad window. The product gets the brochure, but the work at the opening is what you live with.
The steps other people skip
- Windows and doors: we flash and seal the rough opening, insulate the gap with low-expansion foam, and set the unit plumb and square before any trim goes on.
- Siding: the old siding comes off so we can look at the sheathing. Rot gets cut out and replaced, then house wrap, then siding. On James Hardie jobs we follow the manufacturer's clearances and fastening pattern, because the warranty depends on it.
- Roofing: tear-off to the deck, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing at walls and chimneys instead of reusing the old.
- Gutters: seamless runs formed on site, pitched to drain, with downspouts sized for the roof area and extensions that carry water away from the foundation.
Checked before we leave
Every job ends with a walkthrough with you. You operate the windows and doors yourself, and we do not call it finished until you do.
Questions people ask
Who checks the work? +
The crew lead checks each opening or section as it is finished, and the job ends with a walkthrough with you before final payment.
What happens if you find rot or damage? +
We stop, show you, and price the repair before going further. Hidden damage behind old siding or under shingles is common, and covering it up is how new work fails early.
Do you clean up? +
Every day. Old material is hauled away and the site is cleaned up before the crew leaves.
