What to know about windows & doors

Replacement comes in two shapes and they are not interchangeable. A retrofit or insert replacement puts a new unit inside the existing frame — faster, cheaper, no disturbance to the interior trim or the exterior cladding, and it gives up a little glass area. A full-frame replacement takes everything back to the rough opening, which is the only way to deal with rot in the frame, failed flashing or a sill that has been leaking. If the reason you are replacing is water rather than draught or looks, the retrofit is usually the wrong answer.

Exterior doors carry the same split and one extra variable. A slab replacement reuses the existing frame and hinges, and only works if the frame is square and sound. A pre-hung unit replaces frame and door together and is what an out-of-square opening in an older house usually needs. Either way the weatherstripping, the threshold and the sweep are what actually stop the draught.

Garage doors are the highest-consequence item in this category and the one most often DIYed. The springs are under enough tension to cause serious injury, and a torsion spring replacement is genuinely not a homeowner job. Openers, panels, rollers and weather seals are more approachable. If the door is heavy to lift by hand or moves unevenly, the balance is off and that is a spring problem, not an opener problem — worth naming correctly when you post, because it changes who should take the job.

Questions

Frequently asked

Answers to what people actually search for.

How Taskly works, in full

Retrofit or full-frame — which do I need?

If you are replacing because of draughts, condensation between the panes or looks, a retrofit into the sound existing frame is usually enough and costs less. If there is any sign of water — a soft sill, staining below the window, rot in the frame — full-frame is the only version that addresses the cause, because a retrofit never touches the flashing.

My garage door is heavy to lift — is that the opener?

Almost certainly not. A correctly balanced door should be liftable by hand with moderate effort and should stay put halfway. Heaviness or uneven movement points at the springs, which store enough energy to cause serious injury and are not a homeowner repair. Post it as a spring or balance problem so the right person takes it.

Do I need a permit to replace a window?

Replacing like-for-like in an existing opening generally does not require one. Enlarging an opening, adding a new one, or anything structural usually does, and a condo will have its own approval process regardless. If your scope changes the opening, ask who is pulling the permit before work starts.
