Before We Arrive: Getting the House Ready
- Clear about three feet of space inside each window or door we are replacing.
- Take down blinds, curtains and rods, or let us know and we will handle them carefully.
- Move fragile items off nearby shelves and walls; removal can cause light vibration.
- Unlock gates and point out any sprinkler heads or landscape lighting near the house.
- Plan where pets will stay, since doors will be open at times.
Installation Day From the Homeowner's Side
Our crew starts by laying drop cloths and walking the plan with you. We work one opening at a time so the house is never left wide open, and each new unit is set, sealed and closed up before we move on. Expect some noise and a little dust around each opening. At the end we clean up, haul away the old units and test every lock, sash and door with you. Most projects run one to three days.
Storm-Damaged Windows and Doors: Documenting the Claim
Spring storms in Central Mississippi can crack glass, bend frames and push doors out of alignment. If you are filing an insurance claim, we inspect the damage, take photos and measurements, and prepare a written scope you can share with your insurer. We are happy to meet your adjuster on site. While we cannot predict what a policy will cover, thorough documentation helps keep the process moving.
Material Choices That Hold Up Here
Humidity and heat are hard on frames, so we lean toward vinyl and fiberglass windows and fiberglass or steel entry doors, with low-E glass to block solar heat. Ridgeland homeowners can find more on our Ridgeland window and door replacement page, and our Madison County exterior services hub lists everything else we do nearby.
