Doors and windows are an integral part of every home.  You open, close and walk through doorways every day, and you probably look through your windows more than you realize.  You may not think about them much until you have a problem with them.  Then, they can be a nuisance every day until they’re fixed.  The Handiest Handyman can help you, whether it’s repairing or replacing a damaged door or window or you’re just ready to upgrade the look or functionality of your existing ones.

Installing new windows and doors can be complicated, and if done improperly, you may be left with air leads (drafts) or water penetration (leaks) that are an even bigger problem than whatever you were trying to fix in the first place.  We have experience with all kinds of window and door repair jobs, from sliding doors, french doors, pocket doors, closet doors and pet doors, to caulking, weather stripping and reflective window film installation. 

Upgrading your windows and doors is a great way to increase your home’s value.  Not only can it increase your resale price by improving the look of your home, but installing more energy-efficient models can lower your cost of living by reducing your power bill thanks to increased insulation.  You may find that the issue you are experiencing is not due to the doors or windows themselves, but you may have cracked and peeling window sills or rotten exterior trim.

The Handiest Handyman can help you assess whether a full replacement is necessary or if you just need to weather proof windows, replace hardware and trim to increase the energy efficiency of your home.  We can also help with choosing the right style to fit your home’s look and budget.

You may not require repairing or replacing door frames or hardware if you are just interested in improving the home’s aesthetic.  To replace a lock or door knob might not require replacing the threshold, but if you want to install a different type of lock to increase the security and functionality, you may need to update the door frame as well.

Similarly with window frame repair needs, if you repair and replace window trim and hardware, such as re-caulking the windows, it may solve your insulation issues without the need for all new windows.  Ensuring the home is sealed properly with prevent letting indoor air escape and letting outside air in, preventing the heat exchange that causes your air conditioning to work harder and make you bills go up. 

Whether you’d like us to install something brand new or simply make the best of what you’ve got, we always use the highest quality materials and our wealth of expertise to get the job done to your satisfaction.  Give us a call at 619-878-3922 and we’d be happy to take a look at your project and get you an estimate.
