Windows & doors
What we do
There are two ways to replace a window, and doors have their own details. The written quote says which install we’d use on your house, and why.
Option 01
Retrofit insert
A new unit slides into the old frame and leaves most of the trim alone. The rough opening, the framing and the old flashing stay out of sight.
Option 02
Full-frame install
The old window comes out to the rough opening, so we can see the framing, deal with any rot and redo the flashing into the wall.
Option 03
Exterior and patio doors
Failed patio doors and tired front entries, replaced and flashed into the existing wall. Who repairs interior trim and exterior finish is spelled out in the quote.
Our process
How the job runs
01
Site visit, written quote
We count and measure the windows and doors, recommend insert or full-frame, and put the product’s frame material, glazing and energy ratings in writing.
02
Permits, order, schedule
We check your municipality’s permit rules, through Victoria’s Permit Finder if you’re in the city, order the units and book the install.
03
Remove, install, flash
Our crew pulls the old units, flashes and seals the new ones into the wall, and repairs trim and finish as quoted. Rot around an old frame is priced per hour or per repair.
04
Final walkthrough
We open, close and check every unit with you, and go over trim, finish and any rot repair before the job is closed.
Built for the coast
Built for the coast
CMHC’s guide to wood-frame envelopes in coastal BC includes window flashing in its rainscreen and envelope details. On this coast, how a new unit is flashed and sealed into the existing wall matters as much as the unit itself.
In leaky-condo-era buildings and older stucco houses, pulling a window can reveal damage nobody knew about. That’s why rot repair gets a price per hour or per repair before work starts, so a soft sill doesn’t turn into an argument.
Permits and rebates
Victoria directs owners to its Permit Finder to check whether a window or door replacement needs a permit. Rules vary by municipality, and we check yours.
As of October 2026, the CleanBC Home Renovation Rebate includes windows and doors, but only through a program-registered contractor, and applications are due within six months of the upgrade. The income-qualified window and door rebates changed on July 6, 2026. Better Homes BC says its site is not being updated during the provincial election period, so check the program page before you count on any rebate.
- Permit: check your municipality’s permit finder.
- Rebate (as of October 2026): only through a program-registered contractor.
- Rebate applications due within six months of the upgrade (as of October 2026).
- Energy ratings in writing, in the quote.
Questions to ask any contractor
Ask us these too.
- Are you registered with the CleanBC program, so the rebate applies?
- Retrofit insert or full-frame install, and why?
- How will you flash and seal into the existing wall?
- What are the energy ratings of the product you’re quoting?
- Who repairs the interior trim and exterior finish after install?
