Drafty windows and worn-out doors cost you twice: once on your energy bill and again when water gets in and rots the framing around them. Built On Trust repairs and replaces doors and windows for homeowners in Raleigh and throughout Wake and Johnston Counties.
We don’t just swap the unit. We open up the area, check the sill, threshold and framing for hidden rot, repair what is damaged, and then install and flash the new door or window so it stays tight and dry.

Why doors and windows fail here
Raleigh gets heavy summer storms and plenty of wind-driven rain. Water that gets past an old threshold or a cracked sill soaks into the wood below, where you can’t see it until the floor goes soft or the trim starts to crumble. Rusted metal doors are another common problem; once rust starts it keeps spreading, and replacing the door is usually the better value. We look for these issues during the estimate so the price includes what the job really needs.
Why choose Built On Trust for your windows and doors
A window or door is only as good as the opening around it. Many installers set a new unit into a rotted frame and close it up again. We check sills, thresholds, jambs and the framing below first, repair any rot, and then install and flash the new windows or doors so water stays out. Because we also handle siding, trim and paint, the outside of your house is finished properly too. You get a clear written quote before any work starts.

FAQ
Common Questions About Door & Window Replacement
Should I repair or replace my windows?
If the glass seal has failed, the frame is rotted or the window won’t open and lock, replacement is usually best. If only the sill or trim is damaged, a repair can save you money. We tell you which makes sense after we look.
Why is the floor soft in front of my back door?
That is usually water getting under a worn threshold and rotting the subfloor. We replace the damaged wood, then install the door with proper flashing so it doesn’t happen again.
Will new windows lower my energy bill?
Well-installed, energy-efficient windows reduce drafts and heat gain, which helps with cooling costs in our hot summers. How much you save depends on what you are replacing.
Will replacing a window damage my siding or walls?
We remove the old unit carefully, and any trim, siding or drywall disturbed around the opening is repaired and finished as part of the job.
How long does it take to replace windows?
Most single windows take a few hours each once the opening is sound. A whole house usually takes a few days, plus time for any rot repairs we find.
Can you replace a sliding glass door with French doors?
Often, yes. It may need a new header or framing changes, which we handle along with the trim, siding and interior finish.
