WHAT WE HANDLE
Repair options for the parts that wear, leak or stop working.
We assess the visible damage, identify whether repair or component replacement is practical and explain the scope before work begins. When damage extends into structural framing or requires a permit, we will clearly identify that it falls outside our service scope.
Door and window trim
Interior and exterior casing, molding, finish trim and rotted exterior wood repairs.
Broken glass replacement
Replacement of appropriate broken glass panels in doors and windows, subject to glass type and opening condition.
Weatherstripping and seals
Door and window weatherstripping, door sweeps, perimeter seals and draft-reduction improvements.
Storm and screen doors
Storm-door and screen-door installation, adjustment, closer hardware and common component replacement.
Screen mesh replacement
Replacement of damaged mesh in compatible window screens and screen doors.
Door operation and hardware
Alignment, hinges, locks, handles, latches, jamb repairs and threshold replacement.
Exterior finish repairs
Minor garage-door seals, fascia and soffit repairs, exterior caulking and weather-resistant finish work.
Service scope noticeH&F does not provide landscaping or lawn-care services. We do not perform structural alterations, permit-required work, or advanced electrical or plumbing work that requires permits or a licensed specialty contractor. Eligible minor electrical and plumbing fixture work is limited to existing, suitable connections. Partner specialty trades may be coordinated separately when appropriate.
WHY H&F
A targeted repair can extend service life and improve comfort.
Sticking doors, visible rot, broken glass and failed seals often become larger problems when ignored. H&F documents the visible issue, recommends an appropriate repair path and completes eligible finish carpentry and component work with attention to weather exposure.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What clients ask before booking.
Send project photos and the property location for the most accurate scope guidance.
Can you replace any type of broken glass?
We handle appropriate door and window glass repairs. Specialty, structural, insulated or code-sensitive assemblies may require a dedicated glass contractor.
Do you replace complete windows and doors?
Some replacement projects may be eligible after assessment. Permit-required or structural opening changes are outside our scope.
Can you fix drafts around a door?
Yes. We can inspect and replace common weatherstripping, sweeps and seals, subject to the condition and alignment of the opening.
Do you repair garage doors?
We provide minor weather-seal and finish repairs only. Springs, cables, openers and other specialized garage-door mechanisms require a garage-door professional.
