Window Removal
Our team began by carefully removing the existing windows:
- Interior trim and casing were removed to expose the frame.
- Caulk and nails securing the windows were cut.
- Each sash and frame was detached without damaging the surrounding brick or drywall.
Brickwork Preparation
To create the proper rough opening for the new patio door:
- The exterior brick was scored along precise cut lines.
- An angle grinder with a masonry blade was used to create smooth edges.
- Brick was carefully removed and cleaned for a professional finish.
Framing Modifications
Structural adjustments were made to ensure the opening could support the new door:
- Old window framing was removed.
- A new rough opening was framed with a header, king studs, and trimmer studs for stability.
- The opening was leveled, squared, and reinforced to handle the weight of the patio door.
Patio Door Installation
With the space prepared, the new patio door was set in place:
- Flashing and sill tape were applied for moisture protection.
- The door was dry-fit, shimmed, and secured to manufacturer specifications.
- A final check confirmed perfect alignment, level, and square.
Insulation & Sealing
To maximize energy efficiency:
- Low-expansion spray foam was applied around the frame.
- Gaps were sealed with caulk inside and out.
- Flashing and a drip cap were installed to divert rainwater away.
Interior Finishing
Finally, the interior was completed with:
- New trim and casing.
- Clean finishing for a polished look.
