Our Wood Frame Installation Process
We prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and a clean finish in every installation. From initial assessment to final inspection, our approach ensures your wood frames fit perfectly and enhance your space.
1. Consultation and Assessment
We begin by evaluating your current window or door openings. This step includes checking structural conditions and measuring the spaces to understand any unique challenges.
Our team discusses your preferences for style, material, and finish. We also identify potential issues like uneven walls or moisture exposure that could affect the frame installation.
This consultation helps us provide a tailored quote and timeline, ensuring transparency before work begins.
2. Precision Measurement and Fabrication
Accurate measurements are critical. We use specialized tools to capture exact dimensions, including depth, width, and height.
Our fabrication process follows these measurements closely to cut and prepare the wood frames. We pre-drill holes for screws and create precise joints to improve durability.
Each piece is finished smoothly to prevent splinters and prepare the frame for quick, flawless assembly on-site.
3. Efficient Installation
Installation starts with placing the frame squarely in the opening. We secure frames using appropriate fasteners and hardware for stability and long-term use.
We account for level and plumb adjustments to avoid gaps or misalignments. If necessary, we use shims or adhesives to reinforce the fit.
All tools and fixes are selected to minimize damage to surrounding surfaces, ensuring safety and neatness.
4. Final Inspection
Once the frame is installed, we perform a detailed inspection to confirm proper alignment and secure fastening.
We check for any cosmetic flaws such as scratches or uneven edges and address them before leaving.
All debris and packaging materials are removed promptly. We aim to leave your property clean and your new frames ready for use.
