Door and window repair in South San Francisco

Doors and windows under South San Francisco flight paths

SFO noise contours reach the Lindenville, Orange Park, Avalon, El Camino, Winston Serra and Westborough sub-areas, and parts of the city sit under frequent Runway 28 departures. The airport's Noise Insulation Program has put windows, doors and ventilation systems into eligible homes inside the 65-dB contour, and its Repair or Replacement Initiative addresses earlier acoustic work that no longer functions properly. An acoustic door only does its job when it seals.

If your windows or doors came through the program, check with the program before anyone changes them. On other doors we adjust hinges and strikes, plane edges, replace weatherstripping and sweeps, and put sliding doors on new rollers. Window work stays with hardware and screens: locks, cranks, balances and new mesh in the frames you have.

Worth knowing about South San Francisco

• Most lowland areas have liquefaction potential. Soils on unengineered fill tend to settle over time, and rapid settlement can crack foundations, sidewalks and walls.
• Flooding is confined to areas along Colma Creek, mainly where an undersized culvert under the Southern Pacific tracks backs up; most of the city is outside FEMA flood zones.
• Precipitation averages 18.83 inches a year, 80% of it November through April, and relative humidity runs from about 62% by day to 86% at night.
