"I want to give my highest possible recommendation for Craig at Mel Martin Windows! I hired them when I found significant rot and decay in the wood around my front door. Craig came to our home, evaluated the situation and created a great plan to fix everything. We ended up replacing the wood around the door and installing an entirely new door. Craig did an exceptional job at recreating the decorative brick mold we had on the door frame by using PVC products. He corrected all the previous issues and now gave us a new solution that will withstand the weather for years to come. Extremely happy with his professionalism, punctuality, flexibility and pricing. He is a true craftsman and a pleasure to do business with. Very pleased with how our project turned out."

Universal Windows Direct of Manchester serves all of Central and Southern NH; we specialize in windows, doors, siding, and roofing. We carry our own exclusive brand of windows and siding called Unishield, and we have some of the best warranties in the industry. We are a preferred Owens Corning roofing installer. One of the key points that differentiates our window products from our competitors is that we use only virgin vinyl, built in one solid piece custom to each opening rather than standard sizes modified during installation. This creates a seamless fit that will not bend, crack, or warp over time. We also use the exclusive super spacer in between the panes of glass instead of metal, which is used by most window manufacturers. This amazing material almost completely diminishes any heat or cold transfer within the panes of glass, keeping you and your home comfortable and energy-efficient no matter the season!
"Great. It looks very nice. Two workers very professional"

French doors can enhance your property's appeal and marketability. Their elegant appearance and ability to flood spaces with natural light create a positive impression on potential buyers. While specific value increases vary by neighborhood and property type, these architectural elements often contribute favorably to overall home assessment. Many homeowners appreciate both the aesthetic enhancement and the practical benefits these doors provide.
For budget-conscious projects, single-panel vinyl doors offer the greatest value. Their streamlined design requires fewer materials than multi-door systems, and vinyl provides good durability without the premium cost of other materials. These economical options still deliver the characteristic French door appearance while minimizing expenses. Remember that simpler designs offer fewer customization possibilities.
A standard French door installation requires approximately two to five hours for professional completion. This timeframe includes removing existing structures, preparing the opening, positioning the new door, and finalizing hardware installation. Complex situations involving structural adjustments may extend this timeline. Additionally, special-order doors may require several weeks for delivery before installation can begin.
Today's French doors can provide good energy performance when properly specified and installed. Modern manufacturing techniques incorporate insulating materials and specialized glass treatments that minimize heat transfer. However, their large glass surfaces inherently provide less insulation than solid doors. For optimal efficiency in extreme climates, look for doors with thermal breaks, low-emissivity coatings, and multiple glass panes.
French doors traditionally feature hinged operation and divided glass panels, while standard patio doors use sliding mechanisms with larger uninterrupted glass sections. French doors open like conventional doors, swinging either inward or outward, and often include decorative muntins dividing the glass. Patio sliders conserve space by moving horizontally along tracks and feature more minimalist designs with contemporary styling.
Maintenance requirements depend primarily on your door's material composition. Wood requires periodic refinishing to maintain weather resistance, while vinyl and fiberglass need only basic cleaning. All types benefit from occasional hardware lubrication and weatherstrip inspection. Addressing minor issues promptly prevents more significant problems later. Following manufacturer recommendations for your specific product ensures optimal performance and appearance throughout its lifespan.
