Expert Doors in Wendell, Massachusetts

You get lifetime coverage on fiberglass slabs, backed by our own 5-year guarantee. 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.

The three we see most often here: a slab that was planed to fit a racked opening, so it can never be rehung square; a rotted sill and threshold under a door that was never flashed properly; and storm doors fitted over units that should have been replaced years earlier. Locally, extreme cold exposure comes up repeatedly on rural farmhouses.

Plan on one day per opening, occasionally two where the framing needs work. Franklin County weather does move schedules — Connecticut River Valley humidity that keeps sheathing damp long after the rain stops is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

Sometimes. On a rural farmhouses 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 mainly in solid wood, French swing, sliding patio, and we are certified installers for Therma-Tru, ProVia, Andersen. Which of those makes sense for your Wendell home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

We stop, photograph it and show you before covering anything back up. The repair rate is agreed in the contract before we start, so there is no renegotiation with your wall open.
