Yes. ENERGY STAR®-certified windows and doors can:

• Reduce heating and cooling costs by 15–20%
• Improve year-round comfort
• Boost home resale value
• Lower your carbon footprint

Fiberglass windows are another great option. They’re stronger, more UV-resistant, and paintable, offering the look of wood without the risk of rotting or warping. While fiberglass can be more expensive, both materials deliver outstanding performance when properly installed.

Definitely. Fiberglass naturally resists heat transfer and doesn’t expand or contract with temperature changes, keeping seals tight and energy loss to a minimum over time.

Yes. Older single-pane or aluminum-frame windows lose heat rapidly and allow drafts. New ENERGY STAR® windows feature Low-E coatings, Argon gas, and airtight seals, keeping your home more comfortable and efficient.

No, and that’s a good thing. We believe in fair, transparent pricing for every homeowner. No inflated quotes, hidden fees, or “today-only” sales tactics. Everyone receives the same honest price and applicable volume discount.

Yes. Homeowners may qualify for government rebates or energy-efficiency incentives when installing ENERGY STAR®-certified products. Programs change yearly, so we help you check eligibility during your consultation.

Costs depend on window size, style, and material. The best way to know is through a free in-home estimate. We’ll measure, inspect, and provide exact pricing tailored to your home and budget.

You may qualify for government incentives or tax credits for ENERGY STAR®-certified windows and doors. Credits typically cover a percentage of material costs (not installation). Eligibility varies by year and region — we’ll help you confirm what applies in Ontario.

Yes. High-quality steel doors with foam-insulated cores and tight weather seals perform exceptionally well against drafts and heat loss. They combine energy savings with unmatched strength and security.

Yes! There are several federal and provincial rebate programs, including the Canada Greener Homes Initiative and local Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program.

These offer incentives for upgrading to ENERGY STAR® products that improve your home’s efficiency.

For accuracy and warranty eligibility, final pricing always requires on-site measurements.

No. Painting vinyl windows will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Instead, choose a factory-applied color that complements your home’s exterior.

Yes! You can request quotes for different product lines, styles, or energy packages to compare cost and performance before deciding. Our consultants are happy to help you weigh your options without pressure.

Sometimes, yes. A professional inspection can determine if repairs, like replacing glass, weatherstripping, or hardware is enough.

However, if frames or seals are damaged, or the product is outdated and inefficient, full replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice.

Yes! Our team installs year-round. During winter, we replace one window at a time to minimize heat loss and use professional-grade insulation foams and sealants that perform in cold weather.

Yes, minor issues like cracked glass or worn hardware can often be fixed. But if the frame or sash is compromised, replacement is recommended and may even be covered by your manufacturer or installation warranty.

Yes! We install year-round even during cold months.

Our team replaces one window or door at a time to minimize heat loss, using low-expansion foam insulation designed to perform perfectly in cold temperatures.

Slightly, but minimally. Grilles placed between panes can reduce insulation slightly by interrupting the thermal barrier. However, when combined with ENERGY STAR® glass packages, the difference is negligible and mostly aesthetic.

Yes, a few simple steps help the process run smoothly:

• Clear furniture and décor near windows and doors.
• Remove blinds, curtains, and drapes.
• Turn off security systems if applicable.
• Make room in the driveway for easy access.

Both offer their own strengths, A PVC-wrapped wood frame combines the strength and insulation of wood with the low-maintenance exterior protection of PVC, resulting in a more durable frame but if installed incorrectly can lead to wood rot. While an all PVC patio door doesn’t have the same strength as the PVC- Wrapped wood frame, the all-PVC patio door frame will never rot and still provides excellent insulation value.

Our team measures width, height, and sill depth precisely for every opening.

Even small errors can cause poor fit or performance that’s why all measurements are done by a trained professional before ordering.

Check the product’s performance label for:

ENERGY STAR® certification

U-Value: Lower = better insulation

R-Value: Higher = better heat resistance

Visible Transmittance (VT): Amount of natural light

Air Leakage (AL): Lower = fewer drafts

Look for the ENERGY STAR® label. This certification means the product meets strict performance standards set by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) for energy savings, insulation, and air tightness.

Ask yourself these four quick questions:

• Do you feel drafts around the door frame?
• Is it difficult to open or close properly?
• Is there visible rot or warping around the frame?
• Is the door 20+ years old?

If you answered “yes” to any, it’s likely time for a new, properly sealed entry door.

You can apply during your in-home consultation or online. Most approvals are completed in just a few minutes.

We make it easy. During your consultation, our design experts help you select:

You’ll notice a major improvement in comfort, efficiency, and appearance. Modern products include:

• Low-E glass coatings to reflect heat
• Argon gas fills for better insulation
• Stronger, airtight construction
• Advanced weatherstripping and hardware

These upgrades reduce drafts, stabilize indoor temperatures, and make your home quieter and more comfortable.

We don’t recommend it. Hardware stores often sell contractor-grade doors designed for cost, not quality or longevity.

• Poor insulation or air leakage
• Misalignment issues
• Voided manufacturer warranties

At Complete Windows & Doors, our trained professionals handle installation from start to finish backed by a comprehensive warranty on both parts and labour for total peace of mind.

Steel & Fiberglass doors are a top choice for strength and security. They both offer the same impact-resistance, stand up to harsh weather, and require minimal maintenance. A steel entry door is ideal when security, durability, and low-maintenance are top priorities.

Not necessarily, it depends on your goals and budget.

• All at once: Saves energy immediately, creates a consistent look, and improves comfort throughout the home.
• In stages: Easier on your budget; start with the most worn or inefficient areas.

A pre-hung door is a complete unit. The door comes already mounted inside its own frame.

When replacing an existing door, both the old panel and frame are removed before installing the new pre-hung unit.

This ensures a tight seal, perfect fit, and long-term energy efficiency, making it the preferred method for full-frame replacements and new builds.

A 32”, 34”, 36” are all standard front door sizes, but most front doors measure 36” wide × 80” tall × 2” thick or 34”wide x 80” tall, but Complete Windows & Doors offers custom sizing to match your home’s unique design, entranceway, or architectural details.

Argon gas is a clear, non-toxic gas placed between glass panes to improve insulation. It’s denser than air, reducing heat loss, sound transfer, and condensation — improving energy efficiency by up to 10%.

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass features a microscopically thin metallic coating that reflects heat and harmful UV rays while allowing natural light to enter. It helps regulate indoor temperature, reduces fading, and improves overall energy efficiency.

U-Value: Measures how quickly heat escapes; lower is better.

R-Value: Measures resistance to heat flow; higher is better.

This is a normal sign that your windows are performing well. External condensation (on the outside surface) occurs when warm indoor air is kept inside, and cool outdoor air meets the window’s exterior, similar to morning dew on grass.

Not all windows — or installations — are created equal. Pricing differences usually reflect:

Quality of materials and glass

Energy efficiency ratings

Installation method (retrofit vs. full-frame)

Warranty coverage and service quality

Whether the company manufactures or outsources

At Complete Windows & Doors, we manufacture and install through certified partners, keeping quality high and costs transparent

Foam requires more skill and training to apply correctly. Some companies use fiberglass because it’s faster but at Complete Windows & Doors, we never cut corners on quality or performance.

Exterior condensation forms when outdoor humidity meets a cold window surface, it’s harmless and actually shows that your window is effectively blocking indoor heat from escaping.

We use low-expansion spray foam specifically designed for window and door installation because it:

• Expands to seal every gap and void
• Acts as a vapour and moisture barrier
• Prevents mold and water intrusion
• Provides a tighter, longer-lasting seal than fiberglass
• Fiberglass can absorb moisture and lose efficiency over time — foam ensures a superior, airtight fit.

Your window and door project is an important investment. Having all decision-makers present ensures we can answer everyone’s questions, confirm preferences, and provide an accurate quote based on your wants and budget.

Replacing windows and doors is a significant investment. Having all decision-makers present ensures:
