    Has anyone done basement window replacements in an older Toronto home? I’m dealing with awkward sizes and worried some companies might overcharge because of the complexity. I’d love to hear if anyone had a smooth experience and what it cost you roughly.

    Our house was built in the 1960s and had a few odd-shaped basement windows. At first, I thought it would cost a fortune due to the customization needed. We talked to a few contractors, but their estimates varied wildly. A friend pointed me toward this https://windowtechcanada.ca/best-window-companies-in-toronto/ best windows company Toronto list, and that’s when things got easier. The featured companies had experience with older properties and unusual window shapes. One came out for a free assessment, measured everything carefully, and offered a mid-range price with a 25-year warranty. The installation was completed in just one day, including cleanup. It felt good to deal with professionals who knew how to adapt to unique challenges without inflating costs.

    Good question! Replacing basement windows in an older house can significantly improve energy efficiency, security, and overall aesthetics. It’s important to assess the window frame condition and choose materials that can withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations. Consider options like vinyl or fiberglass, which are durable and low-maintenance. Additionally, proper insulation and sealing are crucial to prevent leaks and drafts. Has anyone here recently replaced basement windows? Would love to hear about your experience and any tips for a successful installation!
