Do I need a permit to replace windows in Ontario?

Not usually for same-size replacements. You usually need one to enlarge an opening or create a new one. We confirm with your municipality.

Can a window be turned into a patio door?

Yes. The wall below the window is removed and, if the opening gets wider, a new lintel is installed. It is a common change at the back of the house.

Yes. We work throughout King City, including King City, Nobleton and Schomberg. Call +1 (647) 718-3913 to arrange a visit.

Who issues the permit for this work in King City?

Where a permit is needed, it is issued by the Township of King's building division. We prepare the drawings and handle the application and inspections.

Window and Door Replacement in King City

New windows and doors change both how a house looks and how warm it stays. We replace existing units and, where the design calls for it, cut larger openings for more light. In King City, the township is mostly estate homes and rural properties on large lots.

Before you start

What to know.

Permits
Replacing a window or door with one of the same size usually needs no building permit. Making an opening larger or adding a new one is a structural change and usually does.
Installation matters
Most drafts and leaks come from how a window is installed, not from the unit. Flashing, air sealing and insulation around the frame are what we pay attention to.
Windows near the lot line
Building Code limits the amount of glass on walls close to a neighbouring property, which can restrict new side windows.
