FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply the doors and windows, or do I order them? +
Either works. Many homeowners order their own from manufacturers or local suppliers to save on markup. We're happy to install what you purchase, and we can also handle the ordering if you'd rather we manage the spec, lead times, and warranty.
How long does a typical door or window installation take? +
A pre-hung interior door installation usually takes 1 to 2 hours per door. Exterior door installation runs 2 to 4 hours including weather sealing. Window installation runs 2 to 3 hours per window for a standard replacement, longer for new construction openings.
Will replacing windows affect my manufacturer warranty? +
Most window warranties require installation that follows the manufacturer's instructions, and many require specific flashing and waterproofing details. We install to the manufacturer spec so warranties stay valid.
Can you fix a drafty door or window without replacing it? +
Often, yes. Weatherstripping replacement, threshold adjustment, sweep installation, and re-shimming all fix specific draft problems without a full replacement. If the door or window itself is failing, replacement is the right move; if it's just sealing or hardware, repair is the smarter spend.
Can you install pre-hung doors, or do I need a finish carpenter? +
We install both pre-hung and slab doors, including the trim work afterward. A pre-hung install in a square opening is straightforward; out-of-square openings (common in older Corvallis homes) need finish carpentry skill to install plumb and trim out cleanly. We handle both.
What about sliding patio doors and French doors? +
Yes. Sliding and French doors are usually larger projects with structural considerations like header sizing, threshold prep, and weather sealing. We've installed many across the Mid-Willamette Valley and walk through the details with you before quoting.
