FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Steel, fiberglass or wood?
Steel is the budget standard and most secure; fiberglass resists dents and weather; wood is classic but needs maintenance.

Usually not — most replacements fit the existing frame. A damaged frame or wider opening adds cost.
How long does it take?
A standard replacement takes 4-8 hours depending on the frame and wall condition.
