Step 1: Review and price
We read the drawings and specs, or look at the opening, and price the scope in writing.
Step 2: Field measure
Openings are measured on site before anything is ordered, because buildings are rarely exactly as drawn.
Step 3: Shop drawings
On new work, elevations and details go to the general contractor and architect for approval.
Step 4: Material and fabrication
Framing is cut and assembled to the approved drawings. Glass is ordered to size.
Step 5: Install
Frames go in plumb, level and square. Then the glass and the doors.
Step 6: Seal and adjust
Perimeter sealant goes on, and doors and hardware are adjusted until they close and latch right.
Step 7: Punch list
We walk the work with you and close out every item on the list.
