Windows & Doors

Windows and doors that seal the envelope
Windows and doors are not cosmetic replacements.
They are structural openings in the building envelope.
When these transitions are done correctly, the home feels tighter, quieter, and more stable.
When done incorrectly, they become the most common entry points for air and water.
United Patriot Contracting installs windows and doors with a focus on sealing, flashing, and long-term performance.
Most problems begin at the perimeter
Homeowners often judge windows by glass and frames.
Failures usually originate at the installation interface.
Improper flashing allows moisture intrusion.
Poor shimming introduces stress and movement.
Incorrect sealing creates drafts, condensation patterns, and energy loss.
Water then migrates into wall assemblies where damage remains hidden.
A window or door is successful only when the surrounding system is built correctly.
The opening must be prepared before the unit goes in
Installation is not insertion.
The rough opening must be evaluated and corrected where necessary.
Substrate conditions, leveling, structural alignment, and moisture pathways determine performance.
Skipping prep work creates predictable failures.
United Patriot Contracting follows a structured installation sequence.
Correct the opening, integrate flashing layers, install the unit with proper support, then seal for controlled movement.
Energy efficiency is controlled by installation quality
Even premium windows underperform when installed poorly.
Air leakage, thermal bridging, and moisture infiltration are installation-driven problems.
Proper integration improves comfort.
Interior temperature stability, reduced drafts, and controlled condensation follow correct sealing practices.
Doors must operate smoothly under real use
Doors are high-cycle components.
Alignment, hinge placement, threshold integration, and frame stability determine whether operation stays clean over time.
A door that binds, shifts, or drags signals structural or installation issues.
Precision matters because small misalignments compound with use.
Warranty protection beyond the product
Manufacturers warranty windows and doors.
They do not warranty installation quality across varied site conditions.
Every installation includes a written 2-year workmanship warranty.
The builder stands behind the sealing, flashing, and integration work.
Performance measured daily
Properly installed windows and doors disappear into the background.
No drafts, no sticking, no unexplained moisture, no movement-related issues.
Failures create recurring irritation.
Air leaks, water stains, operational friction, and premature deterioration follow incorrect installation.
United Patriot Contracting installs windows and doors to prevent those cycles.
If you are upgrading existing units or planning a renovation, start with a walkthrough.
