Expert Windows and Doors Installation and Replacement
At Gega Masonry and Construction, we understand that windows and doors are far more than simple openings in your walls. They define your property’s character, regulate energy efficiency, provide security, and contribute significantly to overall curb appeal. As a family owned and operated company serving Unionville, CT and the broader Unionville, CT and surrounding areas area, we bring a professional, customer focused approach to every window and door project we undertake. Whether you need a single door replacement or a complete window overhaul for a commercial building, our skilled team delivers results that last for decades.
The window and door industry has evolved dramatically in recent years. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and loss through windows accounts for roughly 25 to 30 percent of residential heating and cooling energy use. Modern window technology addresses this problem with advanced glazing, low-emissivity coatings, and insulated frames that dramatically reduce energy transfer. We stay current with these innovations to ensure every installation we complete meets the highest performance standards available today.
Our Window Installation Process
We follow a meticulous process for every window installation, whether it involves a residential home or a commercial property. The work begins with a thorough assessment of your existing windows, including measurements, structural evaluation, and an honest conversation about your goals and budget. We offer free estimates so you can make informed decisions without financial pressure. Our team examines the condition of surrounding framing, checks for water damage or rot, and identifies any insulation deficiencies that should be addressed during the installation.
Once we finalize the scope of work, our installers carefully remove existing windows while protecting your interior spaces from dust and debris. We inspect and repair the rough opening as needed, ensuring proper flashing and waterproofing before setting the new unit. Every window is shimmed, leveled, and sealed with professional-grade materials to prevent air infiltration and moisture intrusion. We finish the job with interior and exterior trim work that blends seamlessly with your existing architecture. As storm damage experts, we frequently replace windows that have been compromised by severe weather events, and we provide insurance claims assistance to streamline the process for our customers.

We install and replace a wide variety of door types including entry doors, patio doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, storm doors, and commercial-grade doors built to withstand heavy daily traffic. Each material option carries distinct advantages depending on your specific needs and climate conditions.
Our door installation methodology prioritizes structural integrity and weathertight performance. We ensure that thresholds are properly aligned, weatherstripping creates a continuous seal, and hardware operates smoothly.

Choosing the Right Windows and Doors for Your Property
