Specializing in window and door sales and installation, we do residential, commercial, window and door replacement, and new construction. Family owned & operated. ECW launched its operation in 1996 as a window and door repair and installation company. By 1998, ECW became incorporated and began building its reputation of excellence and know-how by mostly referrals. In 1999, ECW bought out the window division of a larger general contractor and continued to grow while maintaining their impeccable reputation. Standing behind their work and excellent customer service skills has made ECW one of the biggest impact window and door specialists in Broward County. ECW currently occupies 10,000 square feet of warehouse space that houses the product showroom, office personnel, and product storage. Effortless hurricane protection! Sales and installation of non-impact windows and doors. LICENSE #CGC1504443, CC96-8170-GX. Additional email - info@eastcoastwindows.com.
"I interviewed close to 10 companies to have hurricane windows installed at my townhouse. I have 5 windows and 2 sliding glass doors that needed replacement. Many of the companies that came out wanted to do a 2 hour presentation on their windows and a strong sales pitch. Prices ranged as high as $21,000.00 I was disillusioned about having the work done till one of my friends told me to contact East Coast Windows & Doors Inc as she had worked with them last year to replace windows at her home. Well, all I can say is that I am so glad I did. I met with Ed the owner who is a straight shooter and honorable man. They were prompt and professional. I got a great product and a great price. They have their own installation team and do not subcontract the installation as so many companies do. Ravi and his team were exceptional! And despite the fact that it rained the day of the installation the work was done with high quality and care for my needs. All in all, their are a lot of companies out there doing this work , but many are rip off's! Yet, if you contact and work with East Coast Windows & Doors Inc, you will be treated with respect and get great service!"

You can generally remove between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door, depending on its construction. Exceeding this range risks compromising the door's structural integrity. For hollow-core doors, only trim the solid wood perimeter frame. Always start with minimal removal and check the fit frequently to avoid over-planing.
For basic door planing, you'll need either a manual hand plane or an electric planer . Additional supplies include sandpaper for smoothing edges, appropriate paint or stain for finishing, and possibly a screwdriver for hardware removal. Painter's tape helps protect surfaces during the process.
A professional handyperson or carpenter can plane a door in less than an hour. This includes removing the door, marking the areas needing adjustment, carefully planing the edges, and rehanging the door. DIY projects often take longer, especially for those unfamiliar with the process or working with limited tools.
No, planing should only be performed on wood doors. Metal, composite, and fiberglass doors require different modification methods entirely. Even with wood doors, hollow-core models need special attention as only their solid perimeter frame can be planed. Always verify your door's construction before attempting any modifications.
