For apartment projects, our doors and windows installation NYC workflow minimizes disruption: we protect common areas, book the elevator, pre-stage hardware and trims, and sequence openings to keep rooms usable. Rough openings are checked for plumb and level, then units are set, shimmed, air-sealed and flashed to manufacturer specs. We finish with casings, stools and aprons, adjust hardware for smooth operation, and touch up paint for a tight, finished look.
