Complete Window and Door Solutions from Your Trusted Roofing Partner
While roofing remains our primary expertise at Pinkman Roofing, we understand that your home’s exterior envelope extends beyond just the roof. Windows and doors play a crucial role in protecting your property from the elements, maintaining energy efficiency, and enhancing curb appeal. Our expansion into window and door services allows us to provide comprehensive exterior solutions, ensuring every aspect of your home’s protection works together seamlessly.
Over our 20+ years of expertise in exterior home improvement, we’ve seen firsthand how inadequate windows and doors can compromise even the best roofing system. Water infiltration around poorly sealed window frames can lead to interior damage that rivals any roof leak. Similarly, doors that don’t seal properly can create pressure differentials that affect your entire home’s climate control system. This understanding drives our commitment to offering integrated exterior services that address these interconnected systems.
Energy-Efficient Window Installations That Transform Your Home
Modern window technology has advanced dramatically in recent years, with double and triple-pane options featuring low-emissivity coatings that can reduce energy transfer by up to 50 percent compared to single-pane windows. We install premium vinyl, fiberglass, and composite window frames that provide superior insulation values, often achieving U-factors as low as 0.20, which exceeds ENERGY STAR requirements for even the coldest climate zones. These advanced materials resist warping, rotting, and deterioration that plague older window systems, ensuring your investment maintains its performance for decades.
The installation process itself requires meticulous attention to detail that goes far beyond simply fitting a window into an opening. We begin by carefully removing existing windows while preserving surrounding materials, then inspect and repair any underlying structural damage or water infiltration issues. The rough opening gets prepared with proper flashing tape and weatherproofing membranes before the new window unit is positioned, leveled, and secured. Expanding foam insulation fills gaps between the frame and rough opening, while exterior trim work ensures proper water management that directs moisture away from your home’s structure.
Professional Door Replacement Services
Entry doors, patio doors, and sliding glass doors serve as both functional necessities and architectural focal points. We specialize in installing fiberglass, steel, and wood door systems that combine security, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Fiberglass doors, particularly those with polyurethane foam cores, offer exceptional insulation values with R-factors ranging from R-5 to R-7, significantly outperforming traditional wood doors while requiring minimal maintenance.
The structural requirements for door installations often exceed those for windows, as doors must support their own weight while maintaining perfect alignment through thousands of opening and closing cycles. Our installation process includes evaluating and reinforcing door jambs, ensuring proper header support, and installing adjustable hinges that allow for fine-tuning over time. Weather stripping systems, including compression seals, sweep seals, and magnetic strips for steel doors, create multiple barriers against air infiltration.
Integration with Roofing Systems
Whether you need a complete roof replacement, emergency roof leak repair, or help with storm damage, our licensed and insured team brings over 20 years of hands-on experience to every job. This roofing expertise proves invaluable when installing windows and doors, as we understand how these components must integrate with your roof’s water management system. Proper flashing installation around windows, particularly in dormer configurations or second-story installations, requires coordinating with existing or new roofing materials to create continuous water-shedding surfaces.
Our GAF Certified status demonstrates our commitment to excellence in roofing, and we apply these same high standards to our window and door installations. We understand how ice dams can affect window headers, how wind-driven rain tests window installations, and how thermal cycling impacts the sealants and caulking around these penetrations.
