Windows that match your home’s proportions and finish

In a town known for classic lines, balanced trim, and curb appeal, the best window upgrade is the one that looks like it was always meant to be there. We focus on details like sightlines, frame depth, and clean finished edges that respect your home’s character.

  • Clean fit that preserves original openings
  • Finishing that supports symmetry and proportion
  • Energy-efficient performance through all seasons
  • Guidance on retrofit vs full-frame installation
  • Careful sealing to reduce drafts and noise

Local insight: Homes with historic trim or distinctive casing benefit most from installation choices that remain balanced, intentional, and architecturally correct.

Installation Methods

Full-Frame & Retrofit Installations

Every installation is completed by experienced professionals who understand the craftsmanship and care that Niagara-on-the-Lake homes deserve. Whether it’s a heritage property near Old Town or a modern build in Virgil, our installations are tailored for long-term comfort, performance, and energy efficiency.

Retrofit (Insert) Installation

This method upgrades your home without disturbing existing interior or exterior finishes — ideal for preserving the town’s distinctive heritage character. New windows are installed into your current frames and finished with elegant Cove trim inside and protective aluminum capping outside.

Full-Frame (Brick-to-Brick) Installation

A complete replacement that removes the entire window system and rebuilds it for maximum efficiency, structure, and long-term durability — ideal for older homes or full exterior refreshes.

No matter which method you choose, expect precise workmanship, clean finishing, and results that respect your home’s architecture and comfort.

Key Features

QUICK FAQS

Answers homeowners want before replacing windows

How much does it cost to replace windows in Niagara-on-the-Lake?

Pricing depends on window style, size, glass performance, and whether you choose retrofit or full-frame installation. The fastest way to get accurate numbers is an on-site measurement so you receive a clear, itemized quote.

Do I need a building permit to replace my windows?

Most standard replacements don’t require a permit, but changes like structural work can. Check requirements on the Niagara-on-the-Lake building services page.

What’s the difference between retrofit and full-frame installation?

Retrofit keeps the existing frame and replaces the window unit, often faster and less disruptive. Full-frame removes the entire frame to address hidden issues or improve sealing and finishing detail.

How long does window installation usually take?

Many projects are completed in one day, depending on scope and access. We protect the space, keep the work area clean, and do a final review when complete.

Where can I learn more about window energy-efficiency standards?

Look for ENERGY STAR® guidance and certified products from Natural Resources Canada: NRCan certified windows list.

How do you protect interior trim and finishes in older Niagara-on-the-Lake homes during installation?

For character homes with detailed casings, plaster, or custom interior trim, we start with a clear plan for floor protection, dust control, and careful removal. If there are two viable approaches (for example, different ways to handle finishing around the opening), we’ll explain the options so you can choose the approach that best protects your interior and matches the look you want when the job is complete.
