In Oregon, particularly in the Portland metro area, including Gresham and Beaverton, homeowners experience a temperate, wet climate with mild summers and cool, rainy winters. This environment requires durable, weather-resistant materials and precise sealing during installation.
Oregon's persistent rainfall and mild temperatures necessitate sliding glass doors and integrated dog door panels that are highly resistant to moisture and drafts. Our installation process emphasizes creating a robust seal around the frame to prevent water intrusion and maintain indoor comfort. We prepare the existing opening meticulously, ensuring it is level and square before fitting the new door. We are experienced with the common housing styles found throughout the state, adapting our techniques accordingly.
We start by thoroughly inspecting your existing sliding door and the intended dog door location. We then precisely cut and fit the dog door panel into the sliding door frame, ensuring a watertight and secure seal. Finally, we test both the door and the dog door.
