Thank you!

Does a window in your Roslyn Estates house refuse to stay open? Does a door rub until you shove it shut? Most likely, it can be repaired. Nearly a third of the houses here went up before 1940, and many more in the 1950s and 1960s. Old or newer, window and door trouble often comes down to one worn part. We fix that part and leave the rest alone.

If you own one of the village’s first houses

Roslyn Estates began as a planned neighborhood in the early 1900s. A house from those first decades may still have wood windows that hang on cords and weights hidden inside the frame. If that cord breaks, the window can crash shut, or it may not stay open at all. Years of paint can also glue a window shut.

We replace the cord, free the sash (the part of the window that moves) and repair worn wood. The window keeps the charm it was built with, opens smoothly again and looks better than before.

If you have a 1950s ranch or split-level

In the mid 1950s, about sixty ranch and split-level houses were built in the village. A house like that may have a wide picture window, windows that crank open, and a sliding door or screen door to the yard.

Glass that stays foggy after cleaning means its seal has failed, and new sealed glass can go into your frame. A window that cranks open may stop closing tight when its gears wear out. A sliding screen that jumps its track can be reset or rebuilt. None of these needs a whole new window.

If your house sits on a slope

Roslyn Estates is hilly, with winding streets. Its highest ground sits more than 100 feet above its lowest. On a sloping lot, rain may run toward the uphill side of your house and collect at the bottom of a door.

After a heavy rain, look at your outside doors and the sills below your windows. Wood that stays dark or feels spongy should be checked. We can replace only the damaged section and match it to what is there.

If your screens and storm doors need help

Screens and storm doors take a beating over the seasons. A torn screen can be replaced in its frame, and a bent frame can be rebuilt. A storm door that slams or will not close on its own may need a new closer (the arm that pulls it shut). Call us before the bugs come back in spring.

Before you plan outside changes

The village asks you to call the Village Office before any alteration to your home: 516-621-3541, Village Hall, 25 The Tulips. It requires permits for construction and alterations, and the village has an Architectural Review Board too. The answer has to come from the village, not from us. Repairing the windows and doors you have changes the least about your home’s look.

FAQ

Questions from Roslyn Estates homeowners

My old windows will not stay open. Can they be fixed?

Yes, in most cases. In older wood windows, a broken cord is often the cause. In newer ones, it may be a worn spring inside the frame. Either part can be replaced.

Can I just call you, or should I phone the village first?

Phone the Village Office at 516-621-3541 first. The village asks residents to check before any alteration. Only the village can tell you whether your repair needs a permit or a review.

The screens on my porch and slider are torn. Do you fix screens?

Yes. We can put new screening into your frames, or build new frames if the old ones are bent.

My front door sticks at the top in summer. What is wrong?

Wood swells in humid weather, and worn hinges can let a door sag. We can firm up loose hinges or put in new ones, shave down the edge where it rubs and adjust the latch. Then it should close easily again.

Do you also work in Roslyn and Manhasset?

Yes. Near Roslyn Estates we serve Roslyn and Manhasset.
