Replacing and Repairing Doors & Windows
We started our family business, Beams to Basements Contractors, in 2019 to provide top-notch home improvement services and clear communication. It’s built on the owners’ complementary strengths: Josh’s master carpentry expertise and Mim’s superior customer service. Read our 5-star, verified customer reviews on Angi.
Then, COVID-19 changed everything! We’re focusing on the projects we can still complete without compromising our quality standards: Replacing and repairing doors and windows in West Denver homes.
As a Colorado small business, we don’t have contractor discounts or kickbacks on materials, so we have no incentives to tell customers to replace doors or windows that we can repair. When replacements are necessary, we give homeowners the details to buy materials that will fit in the hole in their home. There are also so many style choices, so we let customers shop according to their tastes and budget. Plus, they can use credit cards reward programs or military discounts.
As an Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau, we are committed to ethical and transparent business practices.

Before & After
Our pictures before, during, and after projects help you to imagine how we can transform your home.
BEFORE The original French doors with windows in an arch on the top look very dated. AFTER Josh replaced it with this robin’s egg blue door with 2 sidelights and frosted glass to maximize the curb appeal and natural light inside.
BEFORE The rotten wood below this window leaked moisture and cold air, but the window did NOT need to be replaced. AFTER Josh performed a Significant Repair to remove the window, replace the trim with a new piece of cedar, reinstall the existing window, and seal it with fresh caulk. The homeowner will touch-up the paint for a sharp finish.
Stories
Owners Mim & Josh share stories and pictures from their first remodel as the general contractors and first-time homeowners.
Revealing Hidden Costs of Remodeling
We accounted for the big-ticket items, like countertops and subcontractors, but it also felt like we were always adding things to our rehab budget. Little changes can add up quickly!
Reuse As Much As Possible When Remodeling
To protect the environment & our budget, we reused many of the original materials in our first house even though we completely remodeled it.
Some Things Didn’t Go Smoothly
Even though we regularly work with other contractors on clients’ projects, we still had issues with some of the new-to-us contractors & vendors we used to remodel our first home.

Egress.11
BONUS FEATURE: If you turn the handle all the way up, the top of the window tilts into the room while pins are still engaged to lock it into the frame and prevent it from being opened. You can see light coming in around the top two-thirds of this vented window. This top vent helps to increase circulation of fresh air in the basement and prevent musty smells while remaining securely closed.
Egress.7
AFTER: Foam insulation fills gaps between the egress window and foundation to keep insects and moisture out, while keeping in heat or air conditioning.
Egress.6
IN PROGRESS: After the 9 ½” thick foundation wall was cut with a concrete saw, the center of the hole was knocked out with a sledgehammer. Then, a frame was added to structurally reinforce the hole before the new window is installed.
