Do you Need to Order Custom Windows and Doors?
Custom Windows and Doors are Usually Necessary for Pre-Existing Structures
Depending on when a residential or commercial building was developed, custom windows and doors may be necessary. HighQDev often gets calls for whole-home window and doors re-installation from home owners and housing developers that need to add-value to existing homes by replacing the windows and doors. It’s common for older homes to need window and door replacements and the process presents an opportunity to improve the design, layout and atmosphere throughout the building.
That said, the project scope can increase dramatically if the new windows don’t fit into the spaces left behind by removing the old windows. Making a new window fit into an old windows space can sometimes require taking down walls, widening window gaps etc. Often, it’s more cost effective to simply have custom windows developed that will fit right into the old window spaces without the need for expensive and lengthy renovations.
HighQDev has helped many home owners and housing flippers develop custom windows for pre-existing structures. The results are older homes that feel renewed with their new, brighter and more-functional fixtures. Browse some of the projects we’ve completed that involved custom window and door designs below.
If You’re a Developer You Probably Don’t Need Custom Windows and Doors
