Window & Door Installers in Simcoe County

Per-window pricing drops as quantity rises, so a whole-house quote is rarely the single-window price multiplied out. Be careful comparing quotes where one is retrofit and the other is full-frame. They are different jobs, and the cheaper one is not necessarily the worse deal, but you should know which you are buying.

Planning estimates for Ontario, not quotes. Always get written quotes against the same written specification.

Questions to ask before you hire

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?

Are your installers employees or subcontractors, and are they manufacturer-trained?

What is the lead time, and what happens to my deposit if it slips?

Warning signs
