Retrofit Installations
Retrofit installation means removing of glass, glass stoppers and in some cases horizontal or vertical posts. This leaves the original frame and interior finishing on the inside and brick mould undisturbed and fully intact. Once the new window is in, aluminum capping is installed from outside and in most cases a ¾ cove is attached to the frame and window from inside. Our addition of caulking prevents water penetration to windows, aluminum, brick and siding.
Stud-to-Stud Installations
Stud-to-stud installation involves removing of the interior casing, exterior brick mould and the frame of original window. In most cases, new windows come with the factory attached brick mould and jam extension (either wood or vinyl). Casing (trim) is attached to the installed window on inside. Caulking is used on the exterior to seal the gap between brick mould and brick or siding.
Door Installations
- Entrance
Entrance door installations consist of removing the existing doorframe, casing and brick mould. Often, if the sidelight or transom are part of the existing door they will be removed as well. Our finishing process includes casing on the inside and brick mould on the outside.
- Sliding
Sliding door installation consists of removing the existing panels and the frame. The door gets finished with new casing on the inside and aluminum capping on the outside. 5', 6' or 8' sliding doors come in two panels (one fixed and one sliding). Larger sizes are available in three or four panel sets.
- Storm
Storm doors are typically installed on the brick mould of existing door.

Window replacement
Our experience with Sobol began with Archie making a single trip where he clearly explained the options, took measurements and then he followed up with a quote by email. We signed back and delivery and timing of installation was exactly as promised. The work itself was excellent, and the [...] Read More →

New windows
We got 3 quotes to replace five windows and to reseal two others. The first 2 companies were typical, apparently - "we're one of the only trustworthy companies, I'm going to give you a special 130% discount plus free installation, and the seniors discount because I like you.... so [...] Read More →

Window and door installation
I've used Sobol Inc for a couple of projects, and Archie and his team are always on-time, on-budget and on top of everything. What I like best is the exacting nature of the installation - they are perfectionists! To date, I have purchased three exterior doors and a number of windows. I [...] Read More →

Windows
Called Sobol prior to a reno because the contractors didn't do windows. Archiel was at our house taking measurements within a day (even though he was recovering from nasal surgery) and the window was in ahead of time. Archiel was friendly and informative and offered us different solutions [...] Read More →
