Windows & Doors Opening

Creating or enlarging window and door openings involves more than cutting through a wall — it requires proper structural planning, code compliance, and precise execution.

Types of Window & Door Openings We Handle

We manage both new openings and modifications to existing ones as part of renovation or expansion projects.

  • New window openings

  • Enlarged windows for increased natural light

  • Patio doors and backyard access doors

Our process includes:

  • Structural assessment and load review

  • Proper lintel, beam, or header installation

  • Moisture protection and insulation detailing
