French Door Replacement in Chevy Chase, MD (Montgomery County)

Williams Glass and Company recently completed a French door replacement project in Chevy Chase, Maryland where the homeowner wanted to upgrade their rear patio entrance and bring more natural light into the home.

The project involved removing an existing door and transom window, removing glass, reframing the opening, installing new insulated glass and installing new ProVia French-style doors with insulated glass.

Removing the Existing Door and Transom

The original configuration included a door with a transom above it. While functional, the homeowners wanted a cleaner and more modern look that would better connect their living space with the outdoor patio.

Our team carefully removed the existing door and transom and prepared the opening for the new installation. Because the size and structure of the opening changed, we also reframed the doorway to properly support the new door system.

Door, Transom, and Insulated Glass Installation in Chevy Chase, MD

This project involved more than a standard door replacement. During this French door replacement in Chevy Chase, MD, our team removed the existing door and the transom glass above it to prepare the opening for a new configuration.

After removing the original components, we reframed the opening to properly support the new layout. Once the framing was completed, we installed new insulated glass in the upper section of the opening to maintain natural light while improving energy efficiency.

Following the insulated glass installation, we installed ProVia French doors, creating a wider and more elegant entrance to the patio area. The finished result provides both improved functionality and a clean, modern look.
