After a Storm Breaks Glass or Bends a Frame
Hail and wind-driven debris can crack panes, dent frames and tear screens. Once everyone is safe, take photos of every damaged opening inside and out before anything is cleaned up, then cover broken glass to keep rain out. We can board or tarp openings temporarily and document the damage for your insurance claim. Our guide on filing a storm damage claim in Mississippi lays out the steps.
When the claim is approved, we order replacement units sized to the existing openings and install them with new flashing and sealant.
Doors That Close Tight and Lock Solid
An exterior door is only as secure as its frame. Many older doors have short hinge screws, worn strike plates and jambs that have pulled loose over time. A new entry door system comes pre-hung in a matched frame, so we can anchor it properly into the wall framing, add a reinforced strike and fit weatherstripping that seals evenly all the way around. Multi-point locks are available on many models for added security.
Materials and Styles to Choose From
For windows, vinyl replacement windows offer good value and low maintenance, fiberglass handles heat with less expansion, and wood-clad units suit homes where interior wood trim matters. Common styles include double-hung, casement, sliding, picture, bay and bow. For doors, you can choose fiberglass, steel or wood entry doors, along with sliding or hinged patio doors. Glass packages with low-E coatings help keep summer heat out.

Common Questions
How long does window or door installation take?
Install day itself is usually short, often a day or two for a typical Jackson home. The longer wait is manufacturing, since custom-sized units are built after we measure.
Can you replace windows damaged in a storm?
Yes. We secure the openings, document the damage for your insurer and replace the units once the claim is settled. We can also meet with your adjuster if that helps.
Do you install patio doors as well as entry doors?
We install sliding and hinged patio doors, French doors and entry doors. We'll help you compare operation, glass options and security features.
Can you fix a door that won't latch instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. If the slab and frame are sound, adjusting hinges, resetting the strike or replacing weatherstripping may solve it. If the jamb is split or rotted, a new pre-hung door is the more reliable repair.
