What’s included
What a new windowjob covers.
Windows for a Aurora house are measured to each opening and ordered, 20 minutes from the shop; a window in the same opening needs no building permit from the Town of Aurora, a larger opening or a new window where there was none is a structural change that Town of Aurora Building Division (Planning and Development Services) reviews, and on a designated house in Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District the heritage permit comes first.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 70 reviews on Google (opens Google Maps)After years of dents and damage from hockey pucks, our new garage door looks amazing!!
I’m very happy with the work done on my front door and garage door. … Both doors look amazing …
Everyone else told me I’d be waiting anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months just to get a door delivered and installed.
My garage spring and cables snapped on a Sunday afternoon, Moe was able to swing by the next morning …
Great Service by Moe, very clean job, on time and no surprises.
It completely changed the look of my home and has already received so many compliments.
The work was done in 5 hours and they cleaned up after themselves leaving no trace of my old garage door and front door.
I called Moe he was here in the same hour and we got our new doors in two days
He didn’t just fix the immediate problem … made sure the door was running smoother and quieter than before.
We were presented with multiple options and given the pros and cons of each.
… replacing my destroyed garage door for a beautiful modern style door.
Replaced my front door and garage door with a remote. … the finished work looks amazing.
I had a quote within a day … and the new door installed by that weekend.
Garage door spring was broken. Moe was able to come out the next day and fit it.
Moe takes the time to get to know what your needs are and has affordable recommendations.
Moe did an excellent job replacing our old, worn down garage door with a beautiful, heavy duty white one.
… he was here the next day and we had our garage doors and front doors done within one week.
The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t believe how fast the job was completed without any hiccups.
… came on short notice to take a look. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in no time.
They were super on time, super efficient, and the price was dead on.

Real jobs on our customers’ houses, recreated from the photos we took: the door we took down, and the one we hung in its place.
Both doors on one house.
The garage door and the front doors were both brown: raised panels with square lites, and double doors with grid lites in a white frame. We replaced them together in one grey, so the two now match across the front of the house.

FAQ
Window replacement questionsin Aurora.
What Aurora homeowners ask about window replacement, and the questions every door raises.
Not here? Ask us for a free estimate.
Planning a new door5 questions
The cost follows the openings: how many there are, how big each is, and whether any is new or being enlarged. A permit or a heritage step that has to come first also shapes the schedule. Per-window prices are not published, and the estimate is free and comes before any work.
That depends on how many openings are involved and whether any of them change, so the estimate sets the schedule rather than a rule of thumb. In Aurora a building permit, for a new or larger opening, or a heritage approval for a house in Northeast Old Aurora can add steps before the work.
Not for a like-for-like swap. Aurora's list of work that needs no building permit includes window or door replacement where the opening is not enlarged or altered, though zoning and, where it applies, the Ontario Building Code still apply. A new, larger or moved opening is a permit job, and inside Northeast Old Aurora a heritage step comes before either.
One window can be replaced on its own. Each opening is measured and quoted, whether it is a single window or the whole house. When windows go in with the garage door and the front door, one crew can hang all three, booked together if you want that.
Not in its no-permit list, which asks about the opening and not the room. A basement window that goes where the old one was is exempt, and so is a bedroom or kitchen window in the same position. Cut the opening larger and either becomes a permit job. Zoning and, where it applies, the Ontario Building Code still apply.
A door that won't work5 questions
Check three things before you call anyone. Is the opener getting power, or has the plug come out or the breaker tripped? Is the door locked, or has the red release cord been pulled? And look at the springs above the opening: a gap of a couple of inches in a coil means one has snapped, often with a loud bang beforehand. If a spring is broken, do not force the door or keep pressing the button. Stop there and call (647) 323-1826, at any hour.
Yes. Modern Empire Doors is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included, and the phone is answered at night. A door stuck open is a security problem, and a door stuck shut with the car inside is a lost day, so neither waits for Monday. Some things can wait for a weekday: a noisy door, a remote that stopped while the wall button still works, a torn seal. If you are not sure which yours is, call and ask.
Usually, yes. The parts that fail most often are carried on the van, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. If you text a photo from inside the garage before we come, we can often see what has failed and make sure the right part is with us. The exceptions are parts made for one door, such as a replacement section in a matching design and colour, which may have to be ordered in. In the meantime the door can usually be secured so the garage still locks.
It depends on the part, and most repairs come down to a handful: springs, cables, rollers, the opener or the safety sensors. We would rather tell you the real price for your door than quote a range that does not apply to it, so text a photo from inside the garage to (647) 323-1826 and we can usually tell which part it is before we arrive. Most repairs are finished in one visit, and you hear the price before any work starts.
Often, if the same section is still made. What people call a panel is usually a full-width section, and the new one has to match the make, size, design and colour of the rest. On a newer door from a current series that is usually possible. On an older or discontinued door it may not be, and a mismatched section can look worse than the dent. Sun-faded finishes are the other catch. Send a photo, plus any label on the door's inside edge, and we will tell you honestly.

Yes. Planned window work follows Noise By-law 6381-21, which bars construction noise on Sundays and statutory holidays and on weekday evenings from 8 p.m. A visit is booked to start and finish inside those hours.

Making the opening wider or taller, or adding a window where there was none, counts. Those fall outside the Town's exemption, so the permit question goes to the Town before ordering.

It can be. Aurora's Property Standards By-law, No. 6543-23, says doors and windows are to be maintained, so a failed window is the owner's to repair or replace.

The guide
Window replacement in Aurora: good to know.
What is different about window replacement in Aurora: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Window replacement in Aurora: how each opening is handled
The work covers replacement windows and new installations. We measure each opening, take the old window out, and fit the new one, trimmed and sealed. A same-size swap leaves the opening alone, so the wall and structure around it are untouched.
Windows can be a job of their own or part of a larger one. When the garage door and front door are being replaced too, the crew that hangs them can fit the windows in the same booking, so the finishes across the front of the house are picked together and arrive together.
Window replacement permits in Aurora
The Town's no-permit list asks one question of a window: is the opening enlarged or altered? If not, the swap is exempt. If so, the job is permit work, and it should be settled before an order goes in.
The heritage rule sits above that. The Town's heritage conservation district page says: "Owners of all properties in a heritage conservation district must obtain approval for exterior alterations to property, new construction or demolition." Northeast Old Aurora is the district, and a window is an exterior alteration, so the address is checked first and the order follows the approval.
From the shop to Hills of St Andrew and Aurora Estates
From the shop it is 20 minutes and 12.7 km up Yonge Street to Hills of St Andrew, Aurora Estates and the rest of Aurora. The crew that comes also hangs garage doors and front doors, so windows, entry door and garage door can be measured in one go.
For an estimate, tell us which openings, if any, are new or larger than before. That one detail decides whether the job is a replacement or a permit job, and it should be settled before an order goes in.
