Insert vs. Full-Frame Replacement
Insert (pocket) replacement leaves the existing frame and trim in place and fits a new unit inside it. It is quicker and less disruptive, and works when the old frame is square, dry and solid.
Full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening. It costs more but lets us inspect and repair the framing, add new flashing, and often gain glass area. We recommend it when we find rot, water staining or an out-of-square opening.
Keeping Water Out of the Wall
Central Mississippi gets heavy, wind-driven rain, so every opening needs a path for water to escape. Our process includes:
- A sloped sill pan or flashing tape across the sill
- Side and head flashing lapped so water sheds outward
- Low-expansion foam in the gap to stop air without bowing the frame
- Exterior sealant that leaves weep holes clear
Finishing Inside and Out
The last hour of an installation is what you look at every day. Inside, we replace or reset casing, fill nail holes and caulk joints so the trim is ready for paint. Outside, we cap or trim the frame to match the house, whether that is brick mold against brick or new trim against siding. Before we leave, we operate every sash and lock with you and remove all debris and old units from the property.
Doors Need the Same Care
A new entry or patio door must sit level on a sound subfloor with a properly supported threshold. We check for soft subflooring before setting the unit, shim the hinge side solidly and adjust the strike so the door closes with light pressure. That is what keeps weatherstrip sealing year after year.
