Quality window replacement transforms your North York home with improved energy efficiency, lower heating costs, and enhanced curb appeal through professional installation.
Total Home Windows and Doors has been installing replacement windows across North York since 2007, completing over 28,000 residential projects throughout the GTA. Our 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility produces 150 windows daily using Cardinal Glass and Roto hardware, ensuring North York residents receive Canadian-made products backed by lifetime warranties on frames and sashes. From East York to the broader region, our installation teams work year-round to upgrade windows in homes built from the 1950s through modern construction.
Every North York home presents different architectural requirements and ventilation needs. Our vinyl windows range from operating styles like casement and awning to fixed options such as picture windows, each engineered for Toronto’s climate extremes. Whether you’re replacing windows in a century home or updating a newer property, matching the right window types to each room maximizes both energy efficiency and functionality while maintaining your home’s character.
Side-hinged operation provides maximum ventilation with unobstructed views and tight sealing against North York’s harsh winters.
Top-hinged design allows fresh air circulation even during rain, perfect for bathrooms and basements in North York homes.
Both sashes tilt inward for easy cleaning from inside, ideal for second-storey installations common in North York properties.
Bottom sash operates while top remains fixed, offering cost-effective window replacement for bedrooms and living spaces.
Horizontal operation suits wide openings in ranch-style homes, requiring minimal effort to open and close.
European-style functionality provides two opening modes: tilt for ventilation or turn for full access and emergency egress.
Bottom-hinged windows open inward, commonly used in North York basements where limited exterior clearance exists.
Non-operating picture windows flood rooms with natural light while providing superior insulation through fewer moving parts.
Three-panel configuration extends outward, creating interior seating areas and dramatically increasing natural light in North York homes.
Four or more curved panels form a gentle arc, adding architectural interest and expanding usable floor space.
Large uninterrupted glass surfaces showcase North York’s scenery without compromising thermal performance or structural integrity.

All our replacement windows meet ENERGY STAR certification requirements for Canada’s Central region, reducing energy bills by 12-15% annually compared to old windows with single-pane glass or failed seals.
Three glass layers with dual argon-filled spaces achieve U-values as low as 0.17, ideal for northern exposures.
Standard dual-glazing provides U-values around 0.26, balancing performance with affordability for most North York window replacement projects.
Microscopic metallic coating reflects heat back inside during winter and blocks solar gain in summer, keeping your home warm year-round.
Inert gas between panes reduces heat transfer 30% more than air, preventing cold drafts around window frames.

Our window and door replacement process moves efficiently from initial consultation through final cleanup, with most North York projects completed within six weeks of signing.
Window contractors visit your North York property to measure existing openings, assess structural conditions, and discuss window styles that match your home’s architecture. We identify any wall damage, unusual framing, or egress requirements affecting the installation process. You receive a detailed quote showing final cost breakdowns by window type and optional upgrades like triple glazed windows or specialized hardware.
Orders move to our facility where CNC machines cut vinyl extrusions and assemble frames using corner fusion welding. Cardinal Glass units are built to your specifications with Low-E coating and argon gas fills, then quality-checked before delivery. Manufacturing takes two to three weeks depending on project size, with rush orders available for urgent door replacement projects needing completion in one to two weeks.
Licensed installation teams arrive with all materials and tools, protecting floors and landscaping before removing old windows. New frames are shimmed level, sealed with low-expansion foam, and secured to studs using galvanized fasteners. Exterior caulking and interior trim complete each opening, with thorough cleanup removing all debris from your North York home.
Our project manager inspects every window and door, verifying proper operation, weatherproofing, and finish quality before you sign off. We register your lifetime warranty on vinyl frames, 20-year glass seal warranty, and 10-year hardware coverage. You receive care instructions and our contact information for any future service needs, ensuring complete customer satisfaction long after windows are installed.
Total Home Windows and Doors manufactures all products in our GTA facility, eliminating third-party markups and ensuring quality control from extrusion to installation. Our installation teams have completed more than 1,200 window replacement projects across North York since 2007, earning Homestars Best of the Best recognition four times. We handle building permits when required, coordinate with condo boards for high-rise installations, and assist with Ontario window rebate applications through the Canada Greener Homes program. Every project includes lifetime warranties on frames, 20-year seal coverage, and support from our showroom team who help select window types matching your home’s architecture and budget.
That’s why we offer full coverage on products and installation — backed by our dedicated service team.
Window replacement cost in Ontario ranges from $260 to $950 per window for standard vinyl casement or sliding styles, while bay windows cost $2,500 to $6,000 installed. Final cost depends on window types, glass options, and professional installation requirements for your North York home.
New windows typically cost $390 to $950 for operating styles like awning windows or casement windows, with fixed windows and single-hung windows starting at $270. Triple-pane options add $150 to $200 per unit compared to double-pane windows.
The best replacement windows combine ENERGY STAR certification, lifetime frame warranties, and multi-chambered vinyl construction suited to Canadian winters. High quality windows from Canadian manufacturers feature Low-E coating, argon gas fills, and fusion-welded corners that prevent air infiltration during extreme temperature swings.
Replacing windows installed before 2005 typically reduces energy bills by 12-15% annually through improved insulation and modern glass technology. Old windows with visible condensation, cold drafts, or difficult operation waste heating costs while allowing moisture damage to window frames and surrounding walls.
Replacing windows throughout your entire North York home reduces per-unit costs by 15-20% compared to separate projects, as installation teams work more efficiently without multiple mobilizations. Window companies also offer volume discounts on materials when ordering 10 or more units simultaneously.
Window installation works year-round in North York, though spring and fall offer moderate temperatures making the installation process more comfortable. Winter installations are common as heating systems compensate for temporary openings, while summer schedules fill quickly due to demand from other home improvement project bookings.
Budget $4,000 to $8,000 for replacing windows in an average North York home with eight to ten openings, including professional installation and mid-range vinyl windows. Add 20-30% for premium upgrades like triple-pane windows, custom colours, or specialty shapes that enhance curb appeal and property value.
