Obviously, there are many jobs we do every day that generally don’t attract any photo documentation for our portfolio.
But every now and then, if I’m near the area where I know we have a crew working, I might swing by for a myriad of reasons and take that opportunity to snap a shot or two of our guys in action.
Tuning up existing doors and windows is our bread and butter work. It’s also one of the services folks seem to appreciate the most. Living with sticky, leak doors and windows for years will tend to elicit that reaction after we apply some of our TLC to…
…make them work as good s or sometimes even better than they did when they were new. Wood doors tend to grow to varying degrees over the years, due to subsequent coats of paint, loose joints and/or swelling due to moisture. Most all homes settle to some degree, translating into door…
…and window openings that get out-of-square and sometimes out-of-plumb. Misaligned locks, sagging doors hitting the strike-jamb and/or rubbing on the threshold and worn out damaged and/or misaligned weatherstripping products are extremely common problems, all of which we resolve every day of the week.
You might be surprised at how good we are at it. Almost three decades affords plenty of practice, and I must confess, it’s fun to be really good at something.
