How it works

Three steps to a written quote

01

Tell us what you need

Fill out the short form on our quote page. It takes about 2 minutes. We ask how many windows or doors you want replaced, what type of home you have, and your timeline. That is it. No credit card, no commitment, no cost to you.

02

We price it

We measure your openings in person and give you one written quote, priced against the honest 2026 ranges published on this page. Every project we run carries proof of liability insurance, WSIB coverage, and a written workmanship warranty, before we ever ask you to sign. No “today only” numbers, no 3-hour in-home sales presentations.

03

We install it

Approve the quote and one team runs the whole job: final measure, your windows and doors built to those exact numbers, then install day, start to finish, on your property, insured and warrantied. Most whole-home projects finish in 1 to 3 days on site. If anything is not right, tell us and we make it right. You are never locked in.

Know the signs

Signs your windows are past their best

Windows rarely fail all at once. They fail slowly, and you pay for it every month on your heating bill. Here is what to look for.

Drafts you can feel. Hold your hand near the frame on a windy day. Moving air means the seal has failed, or the sash no longer closes tight.

Condensation between the glass panes. Fog or water droplets inside the sealed unit mean the insulating gas is gone. That window is now little better than single glazing.

Windows that stick, or will not stay open. Warped sashes and broken balances are repairable in theory, but on a 20-year-old vinyl window, repair money is usually wasted money.

Cold glass and cold rooms. If the room with the big window is always the cold room, the glass is dumping your heat outside.

Rising heating and cooling bills. Old windows are a hole in your budget, every single month.

Outside noise coming through. If you hear every streetcar and every dog, your glazing is doing very little.

Counted two or more? Replacement windows will almost certainly beat repairs on cost over the next 10 years.

Why it matters

of a home's heat loss can go straight through its windows, by Natural Resources Canada's estimate. Old glass is not a cosmetic problem; it is a monthly bill.

And the doors

Signs your doors need replacing

Doors take more physical abuse than any other part of your home’s exterior. Watch for these:

Daylight visible around the door slab. If you can see light around the edges, air and water are getting in 24 hours a day.

Sticking, scraping, or gaps that change with the seasons. Wood doors and cheap frames swell and shrink. Past a point, no amount of planing fixes it.

Rust, rot, or delamination. A rusted steel door or a rotted wood frame is a security problem, not just a cosmetic one.

Single pane glass inserts. Older doors with single glazing leak heat the same way old windows do.

A patio door that needs a shoulder to open. Worn rollers and bent tracks on sliding doors are usually a sign the whole unit is done.

A patio door should glide with one finger, seal like a fridge, and turn a wall into a view. If yours fails any of those tests, it belongs on this list too.

A new insulated entry door does three jobs at once: it cuts drafts, upgrades your home’s security, and changes how your house looks from the street. Few upgrades under $5,000 do that much.

2026 price ranges

What window and door replacement costs in Toronto

Nobody should walk into a quote blind. Here are the ranges most Toronto homeowners see in 2026. Your exact price depends on size, material, glass package, and the condition of the openings, but these numbers give you a solid baseline.

Window replacement cost per window

Window typeTypical installed price

Standard vinyl windows

The most popular choice in Toronto: insulates well, never needs painting, and costs less than wood or fiberglass.

$800 to $1,800

Bay, bow, and custom shapes

Larger and specialty windows need more material and more labour.

$2,500 to $6,000+

Basement and egress windows

Cutting or enlarging an opening for an egress window adds concrete work.

$2,500 to $5,000

Door replacement cost per door

Door typeTypical installed price

Steel entry doors

The workhorse choice for front doors.

$1,500 to $3,500

Fiberglass entry doors

Better insulation and a wood look without the upkeep.

$2,500 to $6,000

Patio and sliding doors

Garden doors and French doors sit at the higher end.

$2,000 to $5,500

What moves the price up or down

Four things drive most of the variation in window and door replacement quotes:

01

Full-frame vs retrofit installation.

A retrofit keeps your existing frame and costs less. A full-frame replacement strips everything back to the rough opening. It costs 15 to 30 percent more, but it is the right call when frames are rotted or the original installation was poor.

02

Glass package.

Double pane glass is standard. Triple pane glass adds roughly $100 to $300 per window. It pays you back in comfort and lower heating bills, which matters in a city that sees -20 degree weeks.

03

How many openings you do at once.

Crews price per project, not just per unit. Replacing 10 windows in one visit almost always costs less per window than replacing 2 windows five times.

04

Access and condition.

Third-floor windows, brick openings that need repair, and older homes with hidden rot all add labour.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on cost, permits, and timelines for window and door replacement in Toronto.

How much does it cost to replace windows in Toronto?
Most Toronto homeowners pay between $800 and $1,800 per standard vinyl window, installed. Larger openings, bay windows, triple pane glass, and full-frame installations push the price higher. For a whole home, typical projects land between $10,000 and $30,000 depending on the number of windows and the options you choose. Get a written quote before you budget; per-window averages can mislead when your home has unusual sizes.
How much should it cost to replace a window with a door?
Converting a window opening into a door costs more than a standard door replacement. The wall below the window has to be cut out, the structure has to be checked, and a proper sill and frame have to be built. In Toronto, expect roughly $3,500 to $8,000 or more for a window-to-door conversion, including the new door unit. Projects that alter structure may also need a building permit. Your installer should handle that or clearly scope it for you.
Is it worth replacing 20 year old windows?
Usually, yes. A 20 year old window predates today's low-E coatings, argon fills, and warm edge spacers. Its seals and hardware are near the end of their design life. If your 20 year old windows show fogging between panes, drafts, or operating problems, replacement beats repair on 10-year cost in almost every case. If they still work well and show no seal failure, you can wait. Plan for replacement within the next 5 years or so.
How much should windows and doors cost?
As a package: standard vinyl replacement windows run $800 to $1,800 each installed. Steel entry doors run $1,500 to $3,500. Fiberglass entry doors run $2,500 to $6,000, and sliding patio doors $2,000 to $5,500. A common Toronto project, 10 windows plus a front door and a patio door, typically lands between $15,000 and $35,000. Materials and glass package set where you fall in that range. Quotes far below these ranges usually mean thin frames, no-name glass, or an underinsured installer.
How much does it cost to replace the windows in a 3 bedroom house?
A typical 3 bedroom Toronto house has 10 to 15 windows. At standard vinyl pricing, that puts most whole-home window replacement projects between $10,000 and $27,000 installed. Doing all windows at once earns better per-window pricing than spreading the work over several years. It also lets us seal and cap the whole envelope consistently.
Do I need a permit to replace windows and doors in Toronto?
Like-for-like replacement windows and doors in the same openings generally do not require a permit in Toronto. You do need a permit when you enlarge an opening, cut a new one, or change structure. Adding an egress window in a basement or converting a window to a door both fall in that group. A good installer will tell you which side of the line your project falls on. They manage the paperwork when a permit applies.
How long does window and door replacement take?
Manufacturing takes 4 to 8 weeks after the final measure, since replacement windows are built to your exact openings. The installation itself moves fast. We typically complete 8 to 12 standard windows in a single day, and an entry door replacement in 4 to 6 hours. Most whole-home projects finish in 1 to 3 days on site.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation to get a written quote from us. You decide if and when you move forward.

Window styles

Window styles that work for Toronto homes

These are the windows Toronto homeowners choose most.

01· Most popular in Toronto

Casement windows

Casement windows crank outward and seal against the frame when closed, like a fridge door. That compression seal makes them the most airtight operating window you can buy, and it is why they suit most Toronto houses, from wartime bungalows to new builds.

02

Double slider and single hung windows

Move within the frame instead of cranking out. Cost less than casements and work well where an outswing window would hit a walkway or deck.

03

Awning windows

Hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom. You can leave them open in the rain, which makes them great for bathrooms and basements.

04

Bay and bow windows

Project out from the wall, add a shelf of usable space, and pull more light into the room. Nothing changes the feel of a living room faster.

05

Fixed and picture windows

No moving parts, maximum glass, best price per square foot. Pair with operating casements on either side for light, view, and ventilation together.

Almost all of these come in vinyl, which is why vinyl windows dominate the Toronto replacement market. If you want the full rundown on the installation side, our window installation Toronto page covers the process step by step.

Our standard

The standard behind every project we run

Anyone with a pickup truck and a caulking gun can call themselves a window contractor. That is exactly the problem we exist to solve. Before we run a single project, we confirm:

Liability insurance, minimum $2 million, current and verifiable, on every project we run.

WSIB coverage for every crew that sets foot on your property. If an uninsured worker gets hurt at your home, the liability can land on you. We do not let that risk near you.

A written workmanship warranty on the installation itself, separate from the manufacturer warranty on the windows and doors.

A standard we hold ourselves to on every project in Toronto and the GTA: verifiable local installs and a pattern of resolved, not buried, complaints.

Real product lines from recognized Canadian window and door manufacturers, so your manufacturer warranty is worth the paper it is printed on.

The homeowner’s guide

Everything worth knowing before you sign

The deep detail, for homeowners who like to research before they talk to anyone.

Door options

Door options: entry, patio, and everything between

Entry doors

Your front door choice comes down to steel or fiberglass for most projects. Steel costs less and resists forced entry well. Fiberglass insulates better, shrugs off dents, and can mimic wood grain convincingly. Both come as insulated systems with the slab, frame, weatherstripping, and sill engineered to work together. That system approach is what separates a new door replacement from just hanging a new slab in an old leaky frame.

Patio and sliding doors

A modern sliding door glides on stainless steel rollers, locks at multiple points, and uses the same low-E glass as a good window. If your current patio door fogs up, drags, or frosts over in winter, a replacement transforms the room it sits in.

Garden and French doors

Hinged double doors give you a wider opening and a more traditional look than sliders. They suit older Toronto homes where a sliding door can look out of place.

Storm doors

A storm door protects a wood entry door and adds a screened airflow option in summer. On a new insulated fiberglass or steel door, we will tell you straight: you probably do not need one.

The spec sheet

Energy efficient windows: what actually matters here

Toronto swings from -20 in January to +35 in July. Your windows have to handle both. When you compare quotes, these are the specs that matter:

Energy Star certification

In Canada, Energy Star certified windows are tested for our climate zones. Make this your baseline. Do not accept less.

Low-E coatings

A microscopic metallic layer on the glass reflects heat back into your home in winter and back outside in summer. Standard on any decent window today.

Argon gas fill

The space between panes gets filled with argon, which insulates better than air. Again, standard on quality units. Confirm it is in the spec.

Double pane vs triple pane

Double pane with low-E and argon serves most Toronto homes well. Triple pane adds warmth, cuts noise further, and nearly eliminates condensation on the inside glass. It makes the most sense on north-facing walls, bedrooms near busy streets, and homes you plan to keep for 10 or more years.

Warm edge spacers

The spacer holds the panes apart at the edge of the glass. Cheap metal spacers conduct cold and cause edge condensation. Warm edge spacers fix that.

New energy efficient windows will not cut your heating bill in half, and any window company that promises that is lying to you. What they will do is remove drafts, even out room temperatures, quiet the street, and take a real bite out of heat loss for the next 25 years.

Installation day

What to expect on installation day

We work cleaner and faster than most homeowners expect. Here is the typical rhythm for a whole-home installation:

  1. Final measure before manufacturing.

    After you sign, every opening gets measured precisely. Your windows are built to those numbers, which takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the season.

  2. Prep.

    We lay floor protection, move furniture back from the openings, and remove window coverings before the crew starts.

  3. Removal and installation.

    Old units come out, new windows and doors go in, get shimmed level, and get fastened to the structure. A standard project moves through 8 to 12 windows in a day.

  4. Sealing and insulation.

    The gap around each frame gets low-expansion foam inside and caulking outside. This step decides whether your new windows actually perform, and it is where cheap jobs cut corners. We check it before we sign off.

  5. Finishing and cleanup.

    Interior trim or jamb extensions go on, exterior capping gets bent and fitted, and your old windows and debris get hauled away.

Winter installation is normal in Toronto. Crews replace one opening at a time, so your house never stands open to the cold, and winter booking often comes with shorter waits and sharper pricing.

Easier on the budget

Window rebates and financing in Ontario

Two things make a window and door project easier on your budget: rebates and financing. Ask about both during your free estimate.

Rebates

What is currently active

Ontario rebate programs change year to year, and the details matter; treat this as a starting point rather than a promise. Programs like Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings Program have offered rebates for replacing windows and doors with Energy Star certified models.

Toronto’s Home Energy Loan Program has offered low-interest financing for energy retrofits, often alongside an energy audit. We do this daily and know which paperwork is worth your time.

Financing

Two rules that keep you safe

Most established window companies in Toronto offer financing through third-party lenders, with terms from 6-month deferrals to multi-year monthly plans.

First, get the cash price before you ask about financing; never let the monthly payment hide the real cost. Second, read the rate: a “low monthly payment” over 10 years can double the true cost of your new windows.

You can ask about both rebates and financing during your free estimate. Request your quote to start that conversation.

The honest comparison

Why homeowners start here instead of calling around

You can absolutely research Toronto window companies yourself. Plenty of people do. Here is what that route usually looks like. You spend 4 to 6 hours reading reviews you cannot verify. You sit through three or four in-home sales appointments of 90 minutes or more. You get at least one “today only” price that expires the moment the rep leaves. Then the follow-up calls run for weeks.

Starting here looks like this: one 2-minute form, insurance and warranty already in place, one written quote. You can weigh that quote against the real price ranges published on this page. You stay in control the whole way.

We stand behind every project we install. If something is not right, you tell us and we make it right. That is the whole model.
