Falcon WD measures, supplies and installs made-to-order ENERGY STAR certified replacement windows, custom steel and fiberglass entry systems, and sliding patio doors for Oshawa homeowners. Before recommending a product or installation method, we review the frame, sill, surrounding wall finish, room use, access and the way each opening currently performs.

The 2021 Census records 66,630 occupied private dwellings in Oshawa. Single-detached houses account for 55.5%, row houses 9.7% and semi-detached houses 8.0%. That mix brings different wall assemblies, opening sizes, sill details and previous renovation conditions, so every recommendation starts with the actual property.
A Lakeview wall exposed to wind off the lake, a central brick opening and a newer Windfields elevation can require different perimeter and finishing decisions. Falcon WD records the existing materials, interior trim, reported symptom and access before proposing the unit.
Moisture trapped between panes belongs to the insulated glass unit; a sash that will not square, a softened sill or repeated staining at the casing may involve hardware, frame or wall connection. The Oshawa review identifies which layer is failing before replacement depth is selected.
An ENERGY STAR certified window is evaluated as a complete tested assembly. Published U-factor and Energy Rating, sash operation, size and orientation are considered before selecting double- or triple-pane glass, a Low-E surface, gas fill, spacer, insect screen and hardware.
Retrofit leaves an acceptable frame in place and therefore depends on that frame remaining dry, stable and compatible with the desired glass area. Full-frame work removes it to expose the construction opening. Sill geometry, drainage and the required inside and outside finish decide which route belongs in the proposal.
For an entrance, Falcon WD checks the slab, frame, threshold, weather seals, swing, hinge location and lock preparation as one prehung system. Patio-door planning instead records the moving panel, screen travel, passage width, supporting sill, rollers, handle and latch.
The City of Oshawa lists replacement of a same-size window or door for houses among projects that do not require a building permit. Adding or enlarging an opening, altering structural framing or changing egress can require a permit or further review. Confirm property-specific work with Building Services before the product is ordered.
MAKE EVERY OSHAWA OPENING AND RESPONSIBILITY CLEAR BEFORE ORDERING
Arrange a home assessment for a coded opening list, product schedule and written description of the installation and finishing work.
The factory order and the site work are related but not interchangeable. Falcon WD connects them through opening codes so dimensions, selections, removal depth, perimeter treatment and visible finishes can be checked from quotation through handover.
Falcon WD has served Ontario homeowners since 2010. Every Oshawa file progresses through a condition review, written proposal, final measure, order verification, scheduled installation and close-out inspection.
BBB accreditation and homeowner feedback on Google and HomeStars provide outside references for Falcon WD's track record. Oshawa customers can review those sources before inviting the company to measure their property.
A pane count does not describe the whole window. Falcon WD explains how U-factor, Energy Rating, operating format, dimensions, coating and glass area interact, then identifies an ENERGY STAR certified configuration suited to the measured opening.
Removal, support, cavity insulation, sealants, exterior metal, room-side trim, protection and debris service are written into the scope where they apply. Masonry or structural work is identified separately instead of being assumed from a general installation promise.
Operation is chosen inside the room; appearance is coordinated across the outside elevation. The final schedule balances handle reach, ventilation and clearance with frame colour, grille geometry, visible proportions and the home's brick or siding connections.
The bottom sash moves vertically and the upper section stays fixed. A single-hung format avoids exterior projection, which can be practical near driveways and side walks; cleaning access and screen coverage depend on the chosen model.
Both sashes slide vertically in a double-hung unit, permitting ventilation at either level. The product specification confirms tilt or removal features, meeting-rail position, locks and the resulting clear opening.
A picture unit has no operating hardware and can devote more of a wide opening to clear glass. Venting casements or awnings can be placed beside it when the room also needs controlled airflow.
Hinged at the head, an awning projects outward along its bottom edge. It is considered only after crank reach, screen location, wall height and clearance from eaves, planting or walking areas are verified.
The sash of a casement pivots from one side and closes onto compression weather seals. Handing is assigned after checking breeze, view, operator access, insect screen position and anything located outside the swing path.
A fixed casement repeats the heavier profile of a nearby operating unit without adding a crank or hinge track. It suits an opening intended for daylight or symmetry where ventilation is supplied elsewhere.
A single horizontal panel passes a stationary panel and never moves beyond the frame. This makes the style useful where patio furniture, a narrow yard or another obstruction limits outward clearance.
Two moving sashes permit ventilation from either side of a double slider. Screen placement, lock arrangement and the method for indoor cleaning are product-line details that must be confirmed, not assumed.
A fixed middle pane anchors this three-section window while vents slide at both ends. The format provides a broad centre view and two airflow points without projecting over the exterior sill.
The projection of a bay or bow transfers loads beyond the wall face. Platform condition, anchors, top weather cover, cladding junctions and the interior seat require review along with the window units themselves.
A sliding patio door saves swing space but still needs a deliberate traffic plan. Falcon WD verifies which panel moves, screen direction, clear passage, sill support, insulated glass, rollers, handle set and locking action.
A steel entrance begins with an insulated slab fitted to a compatible frame, threshold and seals. Hinge side, swing and lock preparation are fixed before panel style, glazing, paint, sidelites, transom and decorative hardware are added.
A fiberglass system can use a smooth or wood-textured skin with several panel and glass arrangements. The frame, sill, weather seals, finish, adjacent glazing and hardware are specified together for the measured Oshawa doorway.
A laboratory-rated unit arrives without knowledge of the existing sill, wall cavity or trim. Field measurements and a defined connection strategy are what join product performance to the Oshawa building.
Follow the water route: Sill support, flashing strategy, exterior joints and drainage must direct water outward.
Place the air seal: The interior and exterior perimeter layers are made continuous around a correctly sized frame.
Select the rated glass: Exposure and room use guide the glazing configuration after the opening is known.
Test human reach: Cranks, sash locks, door handles and screens have to clear blinds, furniture and counters.
Keep parts compatible: Multipoint locks and upgraded components must match the prepared panel and frame.
Plan installation access: Storey, landscaping and interior protection change how safely the work can proceed.
Read the existing wall: Brick returns, siding edges and earlier capping determine the outside detail.
Match the inside depth: Jamb extensions and casing are measured rather than guessed.
Record visible choices: Colour, bars, glass and hardware are approved on the same schedule used for production.
The project advances only when the information needed for the next stage is complete. Custom shapes, unusual access, heritage review and any change to an opening are resolved before they can disrupt manufacturing or installation.
1
Each proposed opening is labelled and photographed where appropriate. The survey records operation, glazing, frame and sill condition, adjacent brick or siding, indoor trim, access and the homeowner's reported concern.
2
Final dimensions are paired with the selected operator or door swing, glass, colour, screen, hardware, jamb and visible finishing for each coded location.
3
The contract, field measurement and factory build are cross-checked. Structural, egress or heritage questions are directed to the responsible City process before an affected item is authorized for production.
4
The crew carries out only the agreed removal, fitting, insulation, sealing and trim work. Operation, screens, handles, locks and visible joints are checked with the homeowner before protection is removed and included waste leaves the site.
READY TO DEFINE THE WORK AT YOUR OSHAWA HOME?
Request a measured review of the windows, entrance or patio doorway you are considering and receive a written opening-by-opening quotation.
These answers separate municipal requirements from product and installation decisions. Current City direction, the executed contract, approved order and supplied warranty documents govern a specific project.
Fog between panes identifies a failed sealed unit, but softened framing, recurring stains, perimeter air movement or a sash that no longer aligns can involve the opening. Inspect frame, sill, drainage and wall connection before choosing the depth of replacement.
Start with ventilation, reach, privacy, any egress duty and the available clearance. Then compare casement, awning, fixed, hung or sliding configurations that can be manufactured in the measured size and selected window series.
The City says a same-size replacement in a house does not require a building permit. Enlarging or adding an opening, altering structure or egress, or affecting a heritage property is different. Confirm the address and described work with Building Services or heritage staff as applicable.
No. Sun direction, shade, unit size, sash format, comfort target and budget vary by room. Compare published whole-window ratings for the exact ENERGY STAR certified configuration rather than applying one pane count to the whole house.
Yes. Windows, a steel or fiberglass entrance and a patio slider can share scheduling while retaining separate measurements and options. Combining the order does not make their frames, glass, hardware or installation conditions identical.
Compare the named units and glass first, then the removal and finishing scope. Verify whether insulation, outside metal, inside casing, sealants, access, cleanup and disposal are included, and isolate any masonry or structural allowance.
Dimensions, operating design, glazing, colour and hardware change the product cost. Frame condition, removal depth, storey, access, brick or siding detail and indoor trim change the labour. A measured visit reveals those variables.
Manufacturer coverage for qualifying window products may reach 25 years, depending on the series and component. Door terms differ by selected system. The controlling warranty documents and Falcon WD's separate installation responsibilities are provided in writing.

Recommendation for Falcon Windows and Doors
I wanted to highly recommend the services of Falcon Windows and Doors. They installed my new windows last week, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The windows are beautiful, high-quality, and have made our home noticeably warmer and quieter — we now hear much less noise from the street.
From start to finish, Andriy’s service was impeccable. I sent an email early on a Saturday morning, and he reached out the same day to schedule a visit and provide a quote. We placed the order, and within just five weeks, the windows were ready for installation.
On installation day, three very polite and professional gentlemen arrived early. They carefully covered all the floors to prevent any damage and worked efficiently and nonstop until everything was completed. They also cleaned up thoroughly afterward.
Andriy personally came on the day of installation to ensure everything was in perfect order.
I truly recommend Falcon Windows and Doors for your next project — you’ll be as impressed as I am!
