Common questions
- What should I send for an estimate?
- Send a full photo of the door or window, close-ups of the problem, available opening measurements, and a product link if you have selected a replacement.
- Can you confirm a permit from a photo?
- A photo cannot establish every structural or regulatory condition. The existing opening, proposed changes, and any applicable City requirements must be checked before work is planned.
