Premium windows and doors crafted for cottage country living
Total Home Windows and Doors brings factory-direct Muskoka windows and doors to cottage owners and year-round residents throughout Ontario’s beautiful lake district. Our team understands the demanding climate conditions your home faces, from heavy snow loads to temperature swings between seasons. We manufacture every window and door at our 60,000-square-foot facility in the Greater Toronto Area, producing quality windows built specifically for Canadian weather patterns. Our installation services extend across Muskoka, where we’ve completed thousands of projects for homeowners who need reliable performance in their cottages and permanent residences. Each product comes with lifetime warranties on frames and a 20-year glass seal guarantee.
Finding the perfect windows for your Muskoka home starts with understanding which styles work best for your specific needs. Whether you’re updating a lakefront cottage or renovating a year-round residence, our wide selection of window types offers practical solutions for every room and budget. From classic casement windows that maximize ventilation to specialty designs that create dramatic focal points, each style brings distinct benefits to your project. Our manufacturing process uses uPVC frames with advanced hardware from Roto and Cardinal Glass components, creating windows that stand up to cottage country conditions year after year.
Side-hinged windows that open outward with a crank, offering excellent ventilation and energy performance for bedrooms and living spaces.
Top-hinged windows that open outward, perfect for bathrooms or basements where you want airflow even during light rain without water entering your home.
Traditional double-hung windows with two movable sashes that tilt inward for easy cleaning, making them ideal for multi-storey cottages and hard-to-reach spots.
Budget-friendly single-hung windows where only the bottom sash moves, providing reliable performance at lower costs for utility rooms and secondary spaces.
Horizontal slider windows that glide smoothly on tracks, creating wide openings for lake views without taking up valuable interior wall space when opened.
European-style tilt and turn windows that swing inward or tilt from the top, offering secure ventilation and easy cleaning for contemporary cottage designs.
Bottom-hinged hopper windows that tilt inward from the top, commonly used in basements where the opening needs to stay above furniture or appliances.
Non-opening picture windows that frame spectacular lake views while providing maximum glass area and superior energy efficiency through sealed construction without moving parts.
Bay windows project outward in three sections, creating extra interior space and panoramic views that transform living rooms and breakfast nooks into scenic gathering spots.
Curved bow windows with four or more panels create elegant architectural features, adding character and abundant natural light to master bedrooms and dining areas.
Large uninterrupted glass surfaces showcase Muskoka’s scenery without compromising thermal performance or structural integrity.
Vinyl replacement windows are the top choice for Muskoka homeowners — and it’s easy to see why. Vinyl (uPVC) frames require virtually no maintenance, deliver excellent energy efficiency, and are built to withstand Ontario’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles without warping, cracking, or fading. Our vinyl windows carry ENERGY STAR® certification and feature fusion-welded corners for a tight, lasting seal against air and water. From a single window swap to a complete home renovation, vinyl offers the ideal balance of performance and value.
For Muskoka’s cottage country and four-season properties with a contemporary look, we also offer aluminum windows. The slimmer, stronger aluminum frame maximizes glass surface area and delivers the clean sight lines that suit modern architectural styles — particularly popular for picture windows and open-concept designs.
Unsure which material suits your home best? Our team is happy to assess your windows, budget, and aesthetic goals and point you in the right direction — completely free of charge.
Why is it always colder near the windows?
Why did my heating bill jump again this winter?
In Muskoka homes — characterized by Seasonal use, extreme climate — drafts are often the earliest sign that windows and doors are no longer sealing properly.
What’s usually happening:
You can raise the thermostat — but the heat keeps escaping.
Why can I hear everything outside so clearly?
Should windows really let in this much noise?
In Muskoka, traffic, neighbourhood activity, and environmental exposure often reveal weaknesses in older window systems.
If you’re noticing:
…it’s often because the window system is no longer insulating sound properly.
Why is there water inside the window?
Is this mold?
In Muskoka’s climate, this usually means the sealed glass unit has failed and moisture is trapped between panes.
Left unresolved, this can lead to:
Should I replace the windows before renovating?
Will new windows actually change how the home feels?
Many homeowners in Muskoka replace windows and doors during renovations, resale preparation, or when buying an older home.
Is this harmful?
Will this cause structural issues?
In Muskoka, ongoing drafts and moisture can escalate quickly, affecting indoor air quality, finishes, and framing.
Could someone break this window?
Would this glass actually stop an intruder?
Older windows and doors in Muskoka homes often lack reinforced glass and modern locking systems, making security upgrades a key concern.

All our windows carry ENERGY STAR® certification, meeting strict thermal performance standards set by Natural Resources Canada for our climate zone. The Total Seal multipoint locking system reinforces corner joints where heat loss typically occurs in standard window designs.
Three glass layers with krypton gas fill achieve R-7 insulation ratings for maximum cold protection and condensation control.
Two glass panes with sealed air space deliver R-3 to R-4 thermal ratings at competitive pricing for most cottage applications.
Microscopic metallic coating reflects interior heat back inside while blocking UV rays that damage fabrics, floors, and furnishings.
Dense argon gas between panes slows heat transfer better than air, cutting energy bills without affecting window clarity.

Our process takes 4 to 6 weeks from first contact to final cleanup, with rush orders available for urgent needs in 1 to 2 weeks for smaller installations.
Your project begins with a free home estimate where our team measures each opening, discusses your style preferences, and reviews cottage-specific concerns like exposure to wind, snow loads, and moisture. We provide transparent pricing with detailed quotes that include all materials, labour, disposal, and cleanup costs without hidden fees.
Our manufacturing facility produces your custom windows using automated Pro-Line machines that cut, weld, and assemble uPVC frames to exact specifications. Each unit receives Cardinal Glass insulated units, Roto hardware, and quality control inspections before leaving our warehouse. Production typically takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on order size and customisation requirements.
Our certified installation team arrives at your Muskoka home with all necessary equipment, materials, and protection supplies. We remove old windows carefully to avoid damaging surrounding walls, then install new units with proper flashing, insulation, and sealing techniques that prevent water infiltration and air leakage around frames.
After installation, we complete a thorough inspection with you to verify operation, sealing, and finish quality. Our team removes all debris, old windows, and packaging materials from your property, leaving spaces clean and ready to use immediately upon completion.

Total Home installed 21 windows, a patio door, and a front door for us, and they did a great job. Vitaly offered a fair price and a high-quality product. The installation headed by Eugene and Said went smooth. Highly recommended.
An easy 5 star review for the Total Home Team. The quote, the timing, the efficiency, the communication, the window installation itself all went as planned. Nazar and the other installer were professional and quick. We only had budgeted for 5 windows and a door cut out and will use them again for the front door and windows, when the pocketbook allows.<br>We are very happy with our investment and the TH team.
Im very happy with my purchase of 10 windows from this company. The office was helpful in talking me thru my options and troubleshooting some design limitations. While i initially was disappointed that the installer could not provide larger sills on the wooden trim, in the end i am very happy with the updated look these windows give my home - inside and out!<br>Installers - Valery and Andre- worked consistently and politely thru completion. - an 11 hr and gruellingly hot day. - they left my home spotless. I am very happy with my double hung windows - i hope they last me a lifetime.
Nazar and his team exceeded my expectations. I fully recommend this team and company for ANY window or door renovation. They expanded my window and made a walk out for me that should have happened before I purchased this home. This is a dream come true.
We are completely happy with our new exterior door, windows and garage door, as supplied and installed by Total Home.<br>Our project manager Eugene was excellent from day 1 through completion, explaining everything clearly, always responding same day to questions. He provided us references of other projects in our community - these families were all very happy, years later, with their installations and each said the best part of their experience with Total Home was the top notch service they received. We feel exactly the same. Every aspect of the project (Eugene) and the installations (Nazar) were excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend Total Home, Eugene and Nazar, and in fact we hope to have them back for future work.
Had a great experience with my new glass unit installation at Total Home and Windows and Doors! Ended up super happy with the results.<br><br>For better privacy at home I opted to change from my clear glass to frosted. The installation was a quick and simple process.
Sales man Daniel was professional, courteous and honest. He gave us a very good price for our front door replacement. Dimitry and his installation team did a neat job and respected our privacy.<br>Our new Front door looks very nice
Total Home did a solid work, they replaced my windows and front Door, the quality and design are superb and The installers were quick, professional and cleaned up after themselves. Highly Recommended for general window replacement.
Eugene, Saïd, Bogdan, Andrew, and Dima did a great job. The crew was polite, on time, and the quality of their work is positively noticeable. Thumbs up Total Home.
What a beauty!! Thank you to Anatoliy Gadzevych and his team, Nazar & Maksym, at Total Home Windows and Doors for this beautiful fibreglass door! Installation was done well and so fast! I’m so happy! We were told the door will be done in the spring but it came so much faster! I’m one happy customer. Highly recommend this company! 😃
Bumped up from 2 stars to 4 stars because of our sales rep Alex who took care of the matter.<br>_______________________________________________________________<br>We replaced a total of 7 windows, with one positioned at a height of 16ft. Some windows had marks. The installer told me it wasn't scratches and could be cleaned with a paper towel. However, the mark on the 16ft-high window is too noticeable, and we can't reach it ourselves, requiring high altitude equipment. We don’t mind to clean the other 6 windows by ourselves, but just the one at 16ft high. The installer could clean it in 10 seconds, but now, the 10-second task needs to be done by a cleaning service, which starting at a minimum of $250 for just one 16 ft window!!!!!<br><br>Secondly, after all the windows were installed, the installer was doing the final cleaning, clearing the small wood chips and dust on the floor. It's the 21st century, and I don't understand why a professional window company didn't use an industrial vacuum cleaner instead of a broom. The wood debris and dust were only around the windows area, but the installer roughly and quickly swept with the broom, spreading dust throughout the entire house. A considerable amount of dust floated around, and we had to leave the house for several hours before returning to clean. If the installer had used a vacuum cleaner, it wouldn't have generated such a large amount of dust in the entire house.<br><br>Finally, we don't mind and already told the installer which washroom that they can use. However, the issue arose after the installer completed their installation and removed the dirty cloth from the floor, but then returned to use washroom with dirty shoes that they had walked into our backyard, carrying a lot of mud on their shoes. With the matter of the case, it should never happened as a professional company.
5-star experience with Vitaly from first meeting to the end of the project. We had our home windows replaced. Every aspect of the job was professional, up-front, clear, and all promises delivered! Installer Vasgen was also top in every way. I highly recommend Total!
I’ve decided to change some windows in my house, but also the glassing door of my balcony, as it got so squeaky.<br>So I searched on the internet to see different offers and compare them.<br>When I came across Total Home website, I found exactly what I am looking for. I contacted them, and they came just the day after. I explained to them what I wanted precisely, and they were paying attention to every detail, they suggested some interesting ideas, and gave me a detailed quote at the end.<br>The installation didn’t take that long, and the team was very professional and meticulous. I am very satisfied with the final result and would definitely recommend it.
Top notch Services with Total Home replacing 3 of my Windows in matter of hours and took care of cleaning the debris before living.<br>👏
Total home enhanced the energy and the look of my home, professional service and great quality and the prices are reasonable, i highly recommend them for windows replacement.

The Installation was great! Friendly crew and installed the door with no issues. Lab and crew were amazing.
We did shop around and ended up with three estimates several months ago when contemplating the purchase of new windows. Eugene made the choice to go with Total Home Windows and Doors a very easy one. He guided me through the endless choices with knowledge and patience until we came up with a perfect solution that is not only energy efficient, esthetically very pleasing, but also fell within our budget. Yesterday, Valerii and his amazing crew replaced 5 standard windows, a huge picture window in the living room, the back patio door, as well as our front door and screen door. They were all very courteous and professional. They worked so efficiently and left the house clean and tidy both inside and out. Val took the time to show me how all the different windows mechanisms worked and how easily cleaning them would now be. They did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier. The house looks amazing! Thanks, guys!!
F<br>ast service. Beautiful windows. Thank you Alex and Vlad you made the experience great.
We had 9 windows and 2 entry doors done with Total Home. Alex gave us a great quote and helped guide us through the design choices. Nazar and his team were fast, polite, and did a very clean job.<br>Couldn't be more satisfied.
Total Home replaced 18 windows and a patio sliding door in our house. Vitaly was our rep, and he was knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful throughout. Eugene and Said did a fantastic job on installation- on time, clean, and very detail-oriented. We're so happy with the result!
We recently had 7 windows and 1 front door replaced by Total Home. From the first meeting with Alex, who explained every option clearly, to the final install by Vlad and Val, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The work was neat, and the quality is outstanding. Highly recommend!
Vitaly and lad did our patio door they are very helpful and efficiently done!
A+ window installation service! The crew was knowledgeable and the results exceeded my expectations. Will recommend to everyone I know.
Total Home Windows and Doors operates as a Toronto-based manufacturer established in 2007, serving customers across Ontario with Canadian-made products built in our own facility. Our founders bring engineering backgrounds to window design, creating the Total Seal lock system that reinforces weak corner points where traditional windows often fail. We’ve produced over 17,000 windows annually for 28,000 satisfied customers, earning Homestars Best of the Best recognition four times and maintaining certifications from Energy Star, CSA, and Baumler Approved programs. Our turnkey service handles manufacturing, delivery, professional installation, and complete cleanup, backed by lifetime warranties on frames and sashes. We support government rebate programmes and offer transparent pricing without pressure sales tactics, making quality windows accessible for cottage owners and year-round residents throughout Muskoka.
That’s why we offer full coverage on products and installation — backed by our dedicated service team.
Quality window companies manufacture their own products locally, maintain proper certifications, and back their work with lifetime warranties. Total Home Windows operates our own facility with automated equipment, serving Muskoka builders and homeowners since 2007. We take pride in transparent pricing and direct communication, so email us with questions about your project.
New windows cost between $390 and $950 for casement or awning styles, while sliding windows range from $260 to $790 installed. Bay windows run $2,500 to $6,000 depending on size and configuration. Your total depends on window type, glazing options, and opening dimensions.
Vinyl windows perform exceptionally well in Canadian climates with proper manufacturing quality. Lower-grade vinyl can become brittle in extreme cold or warp under direct sun exposure. Our uPVC frames use premium materials that resist temperature changes, maintaining their shape and creating a kind sanctuary that lets your home safely thrive.
Budget $3,000 to $8,000 for replacing windows in an average Muskoka cottage, covering 5 to 8 openings with quality vinyl windows and professional installation. Investing in ENERGY STAR® certified products pays back through lower heating costs. Read our window replacement guide for detailed pricing tips.
Both brands offer quality products, but buying locally manufactured windows doors from our facility eliminates shipping delays and provides direct access to our team for service needs. Contractors and homeowners across Muskoka choose our windows for faster turnaround, comparable warranties, and better value without compromising performance standards.
Twenty-year-old windows typically lose seal integrity, operate poorly, and waste energy through drafts and condensation issues. Replacing them cuts heating costs by 15 to 25 percent while improving comfort and home value. Keep in mind that new windows also reduce outside noise and eliminate frustrating maintenance problems.
Spring through fall offers ideal installation conditions in Muskoka, though our experienced team completes projects year-round. Summer and early autumn provide the most flexibility for scheduling. Winter installations work well when done properly, and we often have shorter wait times for manufacturing during slower business months.
Home Depot subcontracts installations to local contractors at rates comparable to direct manufacturer pricing, typically $200 to $400 per window for labour alone. Our door centre provides factory-direct pricing with in-house installation teams, eliminating middleman markups. Contact us for transparent quotes that include all project costs and important warranty details.
