🧱 Custom Framing & Structural Modifications Done Right

The Window & Door Company Difference!

At The Window & Door Company, we don’t just replace windows and doors — we have the carpentry expertise to modify your home’s structure when the project calls for it. Whether you’re resizing an opening, reframing a wall, or adding new support for expanded glass systems, our in-house team handles it all with precision and care.

This means fewer contractors, better coordination, and a flawless end result that’s built to last.

🛠️ It Starts with the Structure

Many window and door projects aren’t “one-size-fits-all.” Older homes, unique architectural designs, or upgraded products often require custom framing or reinforcement. Rather than outsourcing, our skilled carpentry team takes care of every detail — ensuring the new structure supports your investment properly and blends seamlessly with your home.

Benefits of in-house structural work:

  • Perfect fit for oversized windows & doors
  • Cleaner, faster installation timelines
  • Consistent quality from framing to finish
  • No need to coordinate multiple contractors

🧠 Integrated with Your Project — Start to Finish

The Window & Door Company Difference!

Unlike many companies that rely on separate framing contractors, our in-house carpentry and installation teams work together from day one. This ensures that structural alterations, window and door installation, siding, and finish work are planned and executed seamlessly.

This integrated approach means:

  • One team manages the entire scope

  • No scheduling delays between trades

  • Consistent craftsmanship across every phase

  • Less disruption to your home
