Planning Your Project
Repair or replace?
The condition of the frame, glass, seals and hardware helps determine the next step.
Drafts and moisture
Damaged seals or gaps can contribute to drafts. Moisture may have several causes and needs an assessment.
Condition of the window
Extensive frame damage or recurring problems may make replacement worth considering. We will discuss the options.

Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, offering a clear view and ventilation from an operable sash.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them a useful option for ventilation in a range of rooms.
Slider Windows
Slider windows open horizontally along a track, providing ventilation without a sash swinging into the room or outdoors.
Bay Windows
Bay windows combine angled window sections that project beyond the exterior wall, creating a distinct focal point and bringing light into the room.
Bow Windows
Bow windows bring several window sections together in a gentle outward curve, creating a broad view and an architectural feature.
What to Look For
Window problems worth checking
Small problems can make a window frustrating to use or leave a room feeling drafty. Tell us what you have noticed so we can assess the cause.
A sash that sticks or will not close
Wear, alignment or damage to the frame or hardware can affect movement. The cause needs to be checked before choosing a repair.
Drafts near the window
Air may enter around worn weatherstripping, gaps or other parts of the opening. We can inspect the window and discuss next steps.
Fogging or moisture
Condensation on a surface may have a different cause from moisture between panes. We will look at the problem before recommending work.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a window that is hard to open be repaired?
Sometimes. The cause may involve hardware, alignment or the condition of the frame. An inspection helps identify the right approach.
Does condensation mean I need a new window?
Not necessarily. Condensation can have different causes, including indoor humidity or a failed insulated glass seal. We can help assess the situation.
How much will a repair cost?
The issue, parts and labour required determine the cost. We provide a written quote after assessing the work.
