A window in its own opening

What’s included
What a new windowjob covers.
Windows for a Vaughan house are measured to each opening and ordered, 25 minutes from the shop; a window in the same opening needs no building permit from the City of Vaughan, a larger opening or a new window where there was none is a structural change that City of Vaughan Building Standards department reviews, and on a designated house in one of its heritage districts the heritage permit comes first.
02New
A new or larger window
A window where there was none, or a bigger one, is a different job: drawings, a lintel and inspections can come with it.
- New installations
- Opening checked
- Drawings and lintel
- Inspections if required
03Exits
Bedroom and basement
A bedroom needs a window that opens from inside without tools, so a replacement keeps a type and sash that still meets the opening size.

- Sash size kept
- Basements
- Size checked before order

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.

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.

What Vaughan homeowners ask about window replacement, and the questions every door raises.

Planning a new door5 questions
Houses in Concord run from Glen Shields, built in the 1970s and 1980s, to Dufferin Hill, built in the 2000s, so the original windows in one are older than in the other, and an opening that old may call for more than the window. The number and size of the openings come first, then whether any opening is new or enlarged, which adds permit work. Asking for an estimate costs nothing, and you approve the figure before anyone starts.
No duration is quoted before the openings are seen. A same-size swap is quick work beside a new or larger opening, which needs a permit before anything is ordered, and on the Islington Avenue strip in Kleinburg, a heritage district, the City is asked as well. The time follows from the number and size of the openings, which the estimate settles.
A window replaced in its existing opening generally does not need one. A new, larger or moved opening can need one, and the City of Vaughan decides. On a heritage property the City is asked first, and a multi-unit building can have rules of its own from the owner or corporation.
Each opening is measured on its own and nothing is ordered before that, so the window fits the opening you have and not a nominal size. An older house is where this matters most, since openings that have shifted or were never standard call for a measured, made-to-fit window.
Yes. The company hangs front doors and windows alongside the garage doors and openers it is known for, so a house can have its windows and doors done by one crew. One photo of each existing door, outside and inside, shows the frame, and the estimate is free.
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.

That is the district's call, not the window company's. The City is asked before anything is ordered, and what can be matched is settled at the free estimate, once the opening is measured and the City has answered.
Asked next
Yes. The old window comes out, and the new one is trimmed and sealed into the opening as part of the install.
Asked next
Yes. Each opening is measured first and the window is ordered to it, so the old window stays in place until the new one is ready to go in.

The guide
Window replacement in Vaughan: good to know.
What is different about window replacement in Vaughan: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Window replacement in Vaughan
Each opening is measured on its own, and the old window comes out of it. The new one is trimmed and sealed into the same opening, which leaves the size, the support above it and the exits as they were. New installations, where there was no window before, are done too. It can be one window or the whole house.
Windows and doors can be done together. A crew that hangs front doors and garage doors can do the windows on the same facade, which is how a house ends up matching, and the free estimate covers the lot.
Window replacement permits in Vaughan
A same-size window in its existing opening is a swap and generally needs no building permit. A new, larger or moved opening is a different job and can bring permit work before anything is ordered. The City of Vaughan decides, and on a heritage property the City is asked first.
The Islington Avenue strip in Kleinburg sits inside the Kleinburg-Nashville Heritage Conservation District, so a window change on a building there is checked with the City before the work is booked. A Thornhill house west of Yonge Street is Vaughan's to ask as well.
Windows in Concord's older and newer streets
Glen Shields in Concord was built in the 1970s and 1980s, Dufferin Hill in the 2000s. A Glen Shields opening may have moved or never been a standard size, which is why each is measured and nothing is ordered first, while a younger Dufferin Hill opening is less likely to need more than the window.
A free estimate starts with the windows you want done and the address. The number and size of the openings and any permit or heritage step set the price, and it is given before the work.
