How much do new windows cost in London Ontario?

Window replacement costs vary based on size, style, and energy efficiency features. Joel’s exclusive supplier relationships with TWC, Gentek, VWD, and other premium brands mean you get factory-direct pricing without the corporate markup. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your property.

The cost depends on the number of windows, style, and installation requirements. Every property is unique – factors affecting your investment include window type (casement, double-hung, bay), frame material, and energy efficiency ratings. A complete turnaround of an average two-story house can be between $15,000 and $30,000. We provide detailed quotes with no hidden fees – the price we quote is the price you pay.

Most window replacements take 30-60 minutes per window. A typical 10-window project can be completed in 1-2 days. We work efficiently while ensuring proper installation, insulation, and finishing. We’re prepared for all seasons.

Yes, we specialize in custom window solutions for London Ontario’s diverse properties. Whether you have a heritage home in Old North or a modern property in Byron, we measure precisely and order windows manufactured to fit perfectly. No cutting corners with “standard” sizes that leave gaps.

All our windows meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® standards for our climate zone. This means real savings on your heating and cooling bills – many London Ontario customers report 20-30% reductions. We’ll explain the energy ratings and help you choose the best option for your budget and comfort goals.

Replace your windows when you notice: drafts even when closed, difficulty opening or closing, condensation between glass panes, increasing energy bills, or visible rot/damage to frames. In London Ontario’s climate, windows typically last 15-20 years. If yours are approaching this age, an assessment can help you plan ahead.

Absolutely. We replace windows year-round in London Ontario. Our experienced team minimizes heat loss during installation, typically having each window sealed within an hour. Winter installation can actually help you start saving on heating costs immediately.

Joel’s Replacement specializes in complete window replacement, not repairs. Why? Repairs are temporary fixes that don’t address underlying issues like poor insulation or deteriorating frames. Our replacement solutions provide long-term value, energy savings, and peace of mind.

Double pane windows offer excellent value for London Ontario homes – two glass layers with insulating gas between them reduce energy loss and noise. Triple pane windows add a third layer for maximum efficiency, ideal for rooms facing busy streets or extreme weather exposure. While triple pane costs more upfront, they can provide additional savings in harsh winters. We’ll help you decide based on your specific needs and budget.

Both approaches work, and we support whatever fits your budget. Replacing all windows at once maximizes energy savings immediately and ensures consistent appearance. However, many London Ontario homeowners successfully phase their projects – starting with the most problematic windows (usually north-facing or main living areas). We can help you create a strategic replacement plan that delivers the best value for your situation.

How much does it cost to replace an entry door?

Entry door replacement costs vary depending on the door style, material, and features. This includes the door, professional installation, hardware, and proper insulation. Steel and fiberglass doors offer excellent security and efficiency at competitive prices. Contact us for a personalized quote for your London Ontario property.

Our complete door installation includes: removal and disposal of your old door, professional installation of the new door and frame, weather stripping and insulation, hardware installation, and final adjustments to ensure smooth operation. We don’t leave until your door operates perfectly and you’re completely satisfied.

Standard door replacement takes 2-4 hours. Entry doors with sidelights or custom features may take 4-6 hours. We complete most installations in one day, minimizing disruption to your routine. Our team protects your floors and cleans up completely when finished.

Yes, we install sliding and French patio doors from trusted manufacturers. Patio door replacement costs depend on size, style, and installation requirements. Our installations include proper track alignment, security features, and energy-efficient glass to handle London Ontario weather. We offer factory-direct pricing on all our patio door options.

For our climate, we recommend fiberglass or steel entry doors with foam core insulation. These materials resist warping, won’t rot like wood, and provide excellent insulation against our hot summers and cold winters. Fiberglass doors can be painted and maintain their appearance for decades.

While possible in some cases, we typically recommend full frame replacement for best results. Old frames may have hidden damage or alignment issues that affect your new door’s performance. Complete replacement ensures proper insulation, security, and smooth operation for years to come.

Yes, all our door installations include manufacturer warranties on materials and our workmanship guarantee. Warranty terms vary by product but typically cover defects, hardware, and finish. We’ll explain all warranty details during your consultation and provide documentation.

Yes, significantly. Old doors can account for up to 11% of your home’s heat loss. Modern insulated doors with proper weather stripping create an airtight seal that keeps London Ontario’s winter cold out and summer heat where it belongs. Many customers see immediate reductions in drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures, leading to lower heating and cooling costs year-round.

Both are excellent choices for London Ontario homes. Steel doors offer superior security and the lowest price point, perfect for side entrances and budget-conscious projects. Fiberglass doors look like real wood, won’t dent like steel, and provide the best insulation value – ideal for main entrances where curb appeal matters. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose based on your specific needs and budget.

We’ll assess your frame condition during the free quote. While minor frame adjustments are included in our installation, significant rot or structural damage may require additional work. The good news? We’ll identify any issues upfront – no surprise charges on installation day. Addressing frame problems now prevents bigger issues later and ensures your new door performs perfectly for decades.
