We secure plywood using methods that protect your existing frames. Most of the time, we can attach boards without drilling into the frame itself — using existing mounting points or temporary brackets that won't leave permanent damage.
When we do need to make small holes for security screws, we keep them minimal and in spots that won't show once your glass is replaced. Follow through means doing it right the first time, not creating more problems for you.
