Door re-hang, lock replacement, weather stripping, screen repair, and storm-door fixes that quietly waste energy. Serving Montclair homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
Before you replace the original wood windows in a Montclair Victorian, know this: a well-restored old sash with a good storm window can perform close to a mid-grade replacement, and it preserves the wavy glass and proportions that give houses in Upper Montclair and around Watchung Plaza their face. Our window and door work leans repair-first — re-roping broken sash cords so windows stay open on their own, freeing sashes that decades of paint have sealed shut, adding weatherstripping, fixing screens and storm doors, and adjusting locks. Doors get the same treatment: a century of settling means almost every pre-war home here has at least one door that sticks, latches badly, or has been planed into a wedge by past owners. Usually the honest fix is re-hanging the door and adjusting the strike plate, not more planing. A quick draft test for fall: on a windy day, hold a lit incense stick along the sash edges and door perimeter. Wherever the smoke dives, that's where your heating money goes — and weatherstripping there pays for itself in a New Jersey winter.
