We visited the showroom. There was a good selection of windows and doors. The customer service was excellent. We followed up with an order for a new front door and new french doors for the back porch. Measurements were taken and after the free estimates were presented and approved, the work was scheduled. The installation was done right on schedule as planned. The 2 installers handled any issues (which happen in almost any installation) in a professional manner. We are extremely happy with the end result and look forward to enjoying our new doors for a long time. I am happy to recommend Aaben Windows and Doors to anyone considering upgrading their Windows or doors.

I would recommend Aaben to anyone. Their people are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They have always gone above and beyond for me when installing windows. Their windows solved my condensation problems and as a promised bonus they reduced road noises. The expertise and diligence of every one of their employees from the front office to the estimators to the installation team is amazing. Good people and good products make a difference.

Beyond impressed how attentive all the staff was from start to finish. My elderly mother’s window wouldn’t close and I discovered that the whole window was rotten, so we needed a replacement ASAP. We were contacted with an earlier appointment for fitting the job, The installers called before they arrived and were polite and very efficient. Their workmanship was flawless. They took away all the garbage and vacuumed before they left. Aaben Windows and. Doors are absolutely fabulous! Highly recommend ⭐️ 👍🏻

I requested quotes from a few companies to replace my existing casement window with a picture window. I chose Aaben not just because they had the best overall price, but also because I found them very responsive and pleasant to deal with. The on-site measuring, ordering and subsequent installation all went smoothly according to the timing they explained up front. I'm very happy with the process and my new unobstructed view!

I had my livingroom window replaced my Aaben the beginning of December. The installers were terrific, they quickly removed my old windows, cleaned up the opening, including adding foam insulation where some old, wet pink insulation had been. They were quick, the window was out for less than an hour while they made sure the opening was level and ready for the new window. They cleaned up both the outside and inside before they left. I'm sure I'll be having them back to replace other windows in the future.

Before you hire a window and door installer in Ontario

No provincial licence is required. Installation quality is governed by manufacturer specification and the Ontario Building Code rather than by a trade certificate.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Standard checks. Window installation involves ladder work and heavy glass.

Manufacturer-trained installer status

Matters more than usual here, because most window warranties are voided by installation that departs from the manufacturer specification.

Building permit for new or enlarged openings

Replacing a window in an existing opening generally does not need one. Cutting a new opening, or enlarging one for a basement egress window, generally does.

Verify with: Your municipal building department confirms what your specific job requires.

ENERGY STAR certification for the product

Relevant if you intend to claim any efficiency rebate, which typically requires certified products and documentation.

Questions worth asking

  • Is this a retrofit or a full-frame installation? What would the other one cost?
  • How is the gap between the window and the rough opening insulated and air-sealed?
  • Is exterior capping included, and in what colour and material?
  • Is the warranty on the glass seal, the frame, and the labour - and are they different lengths?
  • Is the warranty transferable if I sell the house?
