"We Know More About Window and Doors!"

Seems like you’re on the right track, researching the company should be your first step. Upon receiving the comfort and confidence in the company, simply give us a call to schedule an estimate. 

Yes, that’s why we offer free in home estimates. Each individual home is unique with its own character and history. Our estimate includes gathering information from you and combining it with the best possible products and installation. 

 Our sales specialists will inspect your existing windows and or doors; listen to your ideas and desires, than proceed to narrow down the options. 

There are many different factors in determining the right products for you, as an example we ask; “Are you doing any other exterior renovations”? A simple question such as this can be extremely important in determining the right products and replacement style. Depending on your answer the right product for you and the replacement style can vary considerably. 

Upon reviewing our window styles and window gallery pictures you’ll notice there are many different options available. 

There are two styles of replacements for windows and one for doors. One style we call a box unit replacement which means a new PVC window is installed into your existing frame (also known as a retrofit). We call the other replacement style a full frame replacement which means your existing window frame, exterior brickmould and interior casings are removed and a new full frame PVC window is installed. When your doors are replaced the existing frame is automatically removed and replaced with a low maintenance exterior frame and energy efficient door panel. The last option is a new opening or modification of an existing opening, which would have a full frame product installed. 

 Once all the options have been confirmed with your sales specialists, you’ll receive a detailed quote indicating individual window description, operating swing, price per unit, overall description of window detail based on options selected and detail in accordance with chosen installation style and material included. The warranty and lead time will also be indicated on the quotation. 

Extremely, we’ve seen quotes from others that have indicated full frame windows, but there terminology is different than ours and the full frame was actually a full frame window installed as a box unit. Meaning the comparison between their quote and our quotation was completely different. 

We require a deposit upon acceptance of order and the balance owing upon job completion. Payments can be made by E-Transfer, Cheque, Cash, Visa, MasterCard or Interac.

The warranties are very important but keep in mind the warranty is only as good as the company you’re dealing with. You can ask our suppliers how diligent we operate in completing any type of service issue.  AWD Specialists and our suppliers warranties will be indicated on your quotation and invoice.

We have our own professional installation personnel. 

Generally you can expect the installation date to be scheduled within 6-8 weeks from the order date for window replacements and 8-12 weeks for door replacements (depending on options chosen). 

A typical residential home with a living room window, three bedroom windows, one kitchen window, one dining room window and three basement windows should be completed within two days. Overall the number of units and complexity of the installation will determine the time frame. Our sales specialists would be able to offer a more accurate time frame upon reviewing your options and replacement style. 

Our installation personnel are specialists at window and door replacements and understand the importance of the trust you’ve given us in receiving the order. Our installation personnel work extremely hard to make sure you’re satisfied with the installation and attention to detail that sets us apart from others. 

The new windows and doors will prevent drafts you may currently be experiencing and the glass area will be much warmer reducing the chill on those cold winter nights. In addition to the improved efficiency, the appearance, added home value and ease of maintenance can be a dramatic difference. 

The weakest link to your home’s thermal efficiency is often your windows and doors. Depending on the efficiency of your existing windows and doors, replacing them can reduce your bills significantly. 

Wood and older windows have a limited lifetime. The cost incurred for a short term fix is not an option we recommend or offer.
