Expert Doors in Oxford, Massachusetts

We handle it. Filing with Oxford, booking the inspection slots and being there when the inspector arrives are all ours under HIC #204634. You should not be chasing paperwork for work you are paying for.

The three we see most often here: a rotted sill and threshold under a door that was never flashed properly; original wood units that swell shut in July and let daylight through in January; and storm doors fitted over units that should have been replaced years earlier. Locally, worn aluminum siding from the 1970s comes up repeatedly on triple-decker homes.

Sometimes. On a triple-decker homes 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, 22 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.

Plan on one working day, and we never leave an opening unsecured overnight. Worcester County weather does move schedules — wet spring seasons followed by dry, hot stretches that move wood trim is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

You see it before we cover it. The rate for hidden damage is written into the contract up front, precisely so nobody is negotiating while the house is open.
