SCOPE

What the Windows & Doors Line Handles

One line, one crew standard, across the following.

  • Scope

    Replacement in occupied homes, new construction, opening-by-opening measurement, removal, installation, and finish work.

  • Window types

    Single-Hung, Double-Hung, Sliding, and Specialty Shapes.

  • Configurations

    Multiple configurations, colors, grid patterns, and glass types.

  • Doors

    Entry doors (single, with sidelites, double) and patio doors (sliding, multi-panel, hinged / French).

CLIMATE

Why the Desert Changes the Spec

Orientation decides how a window performs here as much as the glass does. A west-facing opening carries the full weight of the afternoon sun; a north-facing one rarely sees it. The same unit can read completely differently depending on which wall it sits in.

Radiant heat through glass is the part homeowners feel first, and it is measured by a specific number on every window's label — SHGC. In the Mojave, with long, direct afternoon sun on west and south exposures, that number carries more weight in day-to-day comfort than in most other climates. We walk through what it means on the windows page.

How to read the window label
What's the difference between the windows work and the doors work?

Windows covers replacement and new-construction glazing across the home. Doors covers entry doors and patio (sliding) doors specifically — different hardware, different thresholds, different measurements.

Do you handle both entry doors and patio doors?

Yes. Entry doors and patio doors are both part of this line; each has its own page with the configurations we install.

Can windows and doors be done as one project?

Yes. Many jobs combine both. We measure every opening in one visit and put the full scope — windows and doors — in one written proposal.

Do you work in occupied homes, or only new construction?

Both. Most of this line's work is replacement in occupied homes; we also install in new construction, working from the framing stage.

Start with a Measurement, Not a Guess

Every proposal starts with a visit to the actual openings. Reach the Windows & Doors line directly, or send the details and we'll follow up.
