Quality doors for you.

HI Custom offers the latest in high-end, cutting-edge, luxury window and doors types, including: 

• Thermally Broken Aluminum: an aluminum frame with a barrier in between the inside and outside window frames that will prevent the conductive thermal energy loss, which conducts heat, cold and noise a thousand times slower than standard aluminum.
  

• Aluminum Clad: In the simplest terms, aluminum clad doors are wood doors with protective aluminum coating on the exterior of a wood window or door, while maintaining the elegant, natural beauty of wood on the interior.
  

• Thermally Broken Steel: we are seeing a resurgence of the classic, upscale tradition of steel framed windows and doors in custom residences, luxury storefronts, and commercial buildings, but with a modern upgrade of an energy efficient thermal “break” between the frames so when hot or cold comes into contact with the steel on the outside, it dissipates at the thermal barrier.
  

• Aluminum Steel look: Aluminum that emulates the classic look of steel is often referred to as “Steel Look” or “Simulated Steel”, a material that offers the same sleek, narrow, clean profiles as steel, while allowing clients customize and express their vision at a lower cost.
  

• All Wood: For some, nothing beats the natural beauty and elegance of an all-wood door.
  

• Curtain Wall for commercial or large custom homes: composed mainly of glass panels and metal beams and cut in shop for light commercial or large custom homes.

Project Management

Our project managers are seasoned and thorough, bringing years of expertise to your project. They instruct and supervise every aspect of the installation and guide the team from the initial to completion phase. Project managers work directly with architects, general contractors, and manufacturers to coordinate both the delivery and installation of windows and doors, ensuring mechanical and aesthetic perfection using our stellar HI Custom quality control standards and checks, which lead to a promised completion of obligations in delivery, cost and design. 

First-Class Quality Control Standards

Quality control is very crucial in project management because it ensures that everything is within the scope of the project planning. To meet the highest of standards, each HI Custom project has its own Quality Control Book, and each project is assigned a master installer from start to finish, who oversees the processes and techniques employed by the project team, and also makes sure the product or service meets the strict quality requirements that are specified for the project.
HI Custom Installation works directly with manufacturers. Everything C Clear offers meets Title 24 regulations and is NFRC certified to meet whole-product performance. HI Custom is an L.A. based company that travels anywhere in the United States.

• Copper: copper is a gorgeous choice that is considered by many to be the gold standard. As the superstar of sheet metal, the primary advantage of copper is that it is more flexible than stainless steel, while still extremely durable and resistant to corrosion. Copper is often used in historic restoration to match existing materials and on new buildings designed to blend in with older surroundings or custom home designs.
• Stainless Steel: a favorite of architects, stainless steel is attractive, modern, highly durable and is extremely resistant to corrosion, with a similar cost to copper. It is the best choice for ocean homes as saltwater spray is very hard on steel.
• Galvanized Metal: a good way to meet budgets on projects, but note that galvanized metal will have to be coated with a paper, and it is not recommended for harsher climates. Galvanic coating will eventually wear away exposing the underlying steel to corrosion, so this product’s lifespan is shorter than Copper and Stainless Steel.

Our crane operators are the simply the best in the business, ensuring safety and top-notch installation, with additional experience with hoists, lifts and other relevant equipment.

Setting up safe and secure rigging for a crane lift is of the utmost importance, and possibly more important than the operation of the crane itself. We understand the many rigging issues that affect crane and hoist safety. Our professional riggers are trained in using the various materials used for rigging and slings, and the numerous sling hitches to ensure safety and a perfectly installed product.
