What we see here
Two kinds of Manotick home.
Manotick grew fastest in the eighties, and those houses are now around forty years old. That is well past the life of an original sealed unit, so it is where most of the window replacement work in the village is. By that age the seal has usually let go somewhere, and you can see it in the glass long before you feel it.
Mahogany and the newer phases are the other end of it, and those windows have years left in them. In a new build it is normally the entry door that goes first, because it went in builder grade. Almost everything in Manotick is detached, so we are working on our own ladders rather than off a shared wall.
Doors
Door replacement in Manotick.
Door replacement in Manotick covers steel and fibreglass entry doors, sliding patio doors and hinged garden doors. Every door is installed with a new frame, sill and weatherstrip rather than a new slab hung in the old frame, which is what stops the draught coming back.
Entry doors
Entry door replacement in Manotick
Entry doors in Manotick are available in insulated steel and in fibreglass, with a choice of glass inserts, sidelites and transoms. Fibreglass takes a woodgrain finish and will not dent. Steel is the lower cost of the two.
Patio doors
Patio door replacement in Manotick
A patio door in Manotick can be replaced with a sliding patio door or a hinged garden door. Both are made to the size of your existing opening, and both take the same glass packages and hardware finishes as the windows.
Heritage homes
Replacing windows in the Historic Village.
The City's secondary plan treats the Historic Village and Main Street character areas as areas of heritage interest, and some of the individual properties inside them carry a heritage designation. That does not mean you cannot replace a window. It means the order of operations changes. We establish which category your house falls into before we quote, rather than after the old unit is out.
The City's heritage inventory dates buildings along Mill Street and Main Street to the 1860s and 1870s, and lists one with plank walls and eight inches of sand and sawdust for insulation. Nothing in that part of the village is a standard size, and what sits behind the trim is not standard either. Every opening gets measured, and we open one at a time so the house is never left sitting exposed.
Where the look of the window matters, we will tell you honestly what can be matched and what cannot before you commit to anything. That is a better conversation to have at the estimate than on the day the old sash comes out.
River properties
Windows on the Rideau take more punishment.
Long Island and Nicolls Island sit right on the Rideau, and a river lot is harder on windows than an inland one. Evaporation off the water keeps the humidity up, which shows first as condensation on the glass and later as mould around the frame and rot in anything wooden. Fog settles in the valley on cold mornings, and the freeze and thaw behind it works the materials harder than it does a few streets back.
Wind is the other half of it. There is nothing between open water and the back of the house to slow a gust down, so the seals and frames on the river side take pressure the street side never sees. Spring high water, and whatever the river carries with it, is hardest on the lowest glass.
That is an argument for vinyl on those elevations, because it will not rot or rust and the humidity does not bother it. It is also a reason to think about where the casements go on an exposed face. A casement seals tighter as the wind pushes on it, but an open sash will catch a gust, and it is the hardware that pays for that. We walk the exposed side of the house with you and say which openings we would treat differently.

After the install

Local questions
Manotick specifics.
Do I need a permit in Manotick?
A like for like replacement into an existing opening normally does not need a permit. Changing the size of an opening, or cutting a new one, generally does, because it affects the structure. Permits in Manotick go through the City of Ottawa. We will tell you which situation you are in at the estimate, and we do not start work that should have been permitted. Manotick has one extra layer. The City's secondary plan treats the Historic Village and Main Street character areas as areas of heritage interest, and some individual properties inside them carry a heritage designation. If yours is one of those, we find out what is allowed before we quote rather than after.
Does the location change the timeline or the price?
The timeline and the price are the same in Manotick as anywhere else we work. Manufacturing runs four to six weeks, a full home of ten to fifteen windows is usually a single day on site, and travel is already included in the price.
Will you install here in winter?
Yes, with cold weather foam and sealants, one opening at a time so the house is never left open. Winter scheduling is usually shorter, and pricing does not change by season.
What does the warranty cover?
Two warranties. Ours is twenty years on workmanship, meaning how the unit was installed, sealed and finished. The window itself carries Vinylguard's lifetime warranty, which is non prorated and transfers to the next owner if you sell. Both go into your quote in writing.
