Window and Door Replacement in Pickering
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 Pickering, most of the housing is 1960s to 1990s subdivisions, with older streets near the lake.

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.
