Expert Doors in North Reading, Massachusetts

Sometimes. On a colonial revivals we can often match a single elevation closely enough that it reads as original. Where the existing material has faded past matching, we will say so rather than sell you a repair you will be unhappy with.

We work out of Charlton, 21 miles away — roughly half an hour. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.

No. The crew on your North Reading home is our own. It is the main reason we can hold a schedule and the main reason the same people who started your job are the ones who finish it.

Plan on one day per opening, occasionally two where the framing needs work. Middlesex County weather does move schedules — ice dams forming at the eaves and pushing water back into the wall is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

You get a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on the slab and 5 years on our labour. Both are in writing at handover. The workmanship warranty is ours, not a third party's, and it is the one that actually gets used.
