We replaced a sliding glass door as part of a large scale remodel. It’s easy to take for granted what goes into remodeling projects.

For instance: replacing a slider sounds simple enough, but there are many steps. First, you removed the siding. In this case, we came across something a contractor finds on many sites - a surprise. When we pulled back the siding, we discovered two more layers 😂. We were prepared and took care of it.

Then we pulled the siding off and moved the framing and wiring, cut in two holes, got the windows installed with new headers for the windows to carry the weight of the studs we’d removed. We taped the windows with flashing tape to seal them in as an extra layer of protection from water penetration, reinstalled the sliding and we trimmed out the patio door.

That’s a lot of steps and as simple as the job sounds, a lot goes into it. That’s why you want to have professionals with experience on your job.
