My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Can windows be cut into builder-grade garage doors?

10 years ago

I broke my leg at the tail end of October, and only managed once to wrangle a ride up to my home/build at the tail end of December. Two hours up..., not long enough for the foreshadowing below...

I love my GC/contractor, but this one thing he did... seriously... not so much.

This is a contractor garage door and it does come in segments. Is it possible to take that upper segment and have him put WINDOWS (NOT Windoze 10, but physical windows) in there? Without buying an entirely new garage door? (To be re-painted)

I don't mind paying for the change, but I do hate waste. Is it possible to do this? Were I not gimped out and not to get up there as often as I'd love, this would never have happened.
