Doors
Door replacement that fits the opening and closes like it should
A door is the part of the house people touch every day, and a badly hung one shows it — drafts at the threshold, a deadbolt that needs a shoulder, daylight at the corners. Window Inserts replaces entry, patio, French, sliding, storm and interior doors, fitted and installed by the same crews that do our window work.
Repair or replace
Sweeps, weatherstripping, hinges and hardware are usually worth fixing. Replacement is the better move when the slab or frame is rotted or racked, when the door has dropped and no longer aligns with the strike, when a sliding panel has gone off its track for good, or when a hollow, dated door is doing nothing for the entry.
We will tell you which it is at the free estimate.
What we install
Entry doors, patio and sliding-glass doors, French and in-swing doors, storm doors and interior doors — in the manufacturers we carry, including Andersen, Therma-Tru, Marvin and Harvey depending on the product. Glass, finish, hardware and sidelights are all chosen at the consultation.
Every door is covered by its manufacturer's warranty, and the installation carries our one-year labor warranty.
Fit is the whole job
Most door problems are installation problems. We field-measure the rough opening, check the sill and the framing, set the unit plumb and square, shim and insulate it properly, and adjust until it swings, latches and seals correctly. Then we clean up and take the old door away.
Door types
Every door type we replace
Entry Doors
The front door sets the tone for the house and takes the most weather and use. A replacement is worth it when the slab or frame has rotted or racked, when the door has dropped out of alignment, or when a dated, poorly insulated door is costing you comfort and curb appeal.
More →Patio Doors
A patio door is a wall of glass that also has to slide or swing, seal against weather and lock securely. When an old one drags on its track, fogs up or leaks air at the sill, replacement restores both the operation and the view.
More →French Doors
French doors are hinged glass doors, used singly or as a pair, inside the house or out to a deck or patio. Paired units give a wide, symmetrical opening; the trade-off against a slider is the floor space the panels need to swing.
More →Sliding Doors
A sliding glass door is the low-footprint way to open a room to the outside — one big panel rolls past a fixed one, so nothing swings into the room. Replacement is the answer when the panel drags, the glass has fogged, or the sill leaks air and water.
More →Storm Doors
A storm door is the second door in front of your entry door. It shields the main door from weather, lets you screen the opening for ventilation in warm months, and adds a layer against drafts in winter. It has to be hung square or it binds and rattles.
More →Interior Doors
Interior doors are easy to ignore until several of them stick, rattle in the frame or look tired next to a room you have just redone. Replacing them — as pre-hung units or slabs in sound frames — is a quick upgrade in feel and sound control.
More →Custom Doors
When a stock size will not do — an oversized or undersized opening, an arched head, a period entry you want to match, a wide entry system with sidelights and a transom — the door is ordered to the opening. Window Inserts handles custom door orders from the manufacturers we carry.
More →Shower Doors
A shower enclosure that leaks at the seams, has a fogged or scratched panel, or is framed in dated metal is a small project with a big payoff in a bathroom. Window Inserts measures and installs framed and frameless glass shower doors.

Our installation process
Free in-home estimate
We come to the house, look at every window or door you are considering, and tell you plainly which need replacing and which can wait. You leave with honest pricing.
Field measurement & product selection
Once you approve the estimate, we take exact measurements of each opening and help you settle the manufacturer, style, color, glass and hardware.
Your order is placed
We order to your measurements and spec, and keep that spec on file so anything added in a later phase matches. Custom items have a longer lead time; we tell you the window up front.
Installation day
The crew protects floors and furnishings, removes the old units, sets and insulates the new ones, and checks operation and locking on every one. Most homes are done in a day or two.
Walkthrough & cleanup
We open, close and lock every window and door with you, clean up, and take the old units and debris with us. Your installation carries a one-year labor warranty.
