Things to know
- Options and quality vary a lot from one supplier to the next. Ask for photos of past work.
- Cutting openings weakens the structure a bit. A good shop adds framing around them.
- Electrical and some structural changes may need a permit and a licensed pro.
- Modified units can take longer to deliver.
