DoorWindow Replacement Specialist Marketplace + Training

A vetted marketplace connecting homeowners with pre-trained, insured 'door window replacement specialists'—not general handymen, but people trained specifically on 3-4 door types. Specialists complete a 2-day certification, carry liability insurance, and charge flat rates ($120-180 per window). Platform handles booking, payment, and quality assurance.

Original Problem

Homeowners struggle to replace exterior door windows without professional help or damaging the door

Homeowners face a frustrating DIY task when exterior door windows crack or need replacement—they lack clear instructions, proper tools, and confidence to do it themselves, yet hiring professionals is expensive and time-consuming. Current solutions (generic YouTube videos, vague forum posts) don't provide step-by-step guidance specific to different door types, leaving people either overpaying contractors or risking costly mistakes that damage the door frame or weatherproofing.
