Door and window repair in Burlingame

Repair before replacement for Burlingame doors and windows

Swapping windows or doors in Burlingame means a permit submittal even when the new unit matches the old: a fenestration installation form, spec sheets showing U-factor, SHGC and egress, a site plan if the window sits within 3 feet of a property line, and an HOA approval letter for condos. Before going there, it's worth checking whether the old unit only needs hardware.

Most sticking doors come down to hinges, the strike or a swollen edge, and patio sliders usually need new rollers and a clean track. On windows we replace locks, cranks and balances and re-screen existing frames; we don't build new screens. Text a photo or short video. In a condo, tell us the building's rules on work hours and elevator use.
