Full Renovations

If the frame is solid and square, most problems are fixable: worn balances or cords, broken locks, torn screens, or a cracked pane can be repaired for far less than a new unit.

Replacement makes more sense when the frame is rotted or warped, the glass seals keep failing (foggy double panes), or you want better insulation and noise control. On older homes, replacement also involves lead-safe work practices.

Shaker doors have a flat center panel and a simple square frame. They suit almost any kitchen and hide wear well. Slab doors are one flat piece with no frame, so they read modern and are easy to wipe clean.

Raised-panel doors have a shaped center panel for a traditional look. They need a little more cleaning in the grooves. If you can't decide, Shaker is the safest choice for resale.

Federal rules require contractors who disturb painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes to be EPA-certified and to follow lead-safe practices. Window replacement, demolition and sanding are common examples.

In practice, that means we contain the work area with plastic sheeting, keep dust down, clean with HEPA vacuums, and give you the EPA's Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts.
