Vaughan includes established communities such as Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Thornhill and Concord, along with newer neighbourhoods including Vellore Village. Housing ranges from older homes and mature subdivisions to newer construction and custom residences. Window and door openings, wall depths, brick or stone details and existing trim vary, so Falcon WD measures every opening and plans the installation for the actual home. Owners of designated heritage properties should confirm applicable City of Vaughan requirements before exterior alterations.
Services for Vaughan homeowners include replacement vinyl windows, exterior entry-door systems and sliding patio doors. Before anything is ordered, the quotation identifies the chosen configuration, glass or door options, installation method, exterior finishing and any work that is not included.

Falcon WD replaces residential windows that are drafty, difficult to operate, water-damaged or affected by failed insulated glass. Each opening is measured separately, and homeowners can compare casement, awning, picture, fixed, hung, slider, end-vent slider, bay and bow configurations.
Available ENERGY STAR certified window systems can be configured with double- or triple-pane insulated glass, appropriate Low-E coatings, argon gas, warm-edge spacers, screens, exterior colours and compatible hardware. Falcon WD explains how the complete rated window—not one component alone—affects performance.
For Vaughan homes, the installation recommendation is based on the condition of the existing frame, sill, jambs, trim and exterior finish. Retrofit installation may preserve a sound frame; full-frame replacement exposes the rough opening when the old frame or surrounding components need to be removed.
Vaughan homeowners can select custom steel or fiberglass entry doors, single or double-door configurations, sidelites, transoms and sliding patio doors. The project review covers panel design, decorative or privacy glass, colour, hardware, screen, sill finish and compatible locking options.
Door systems are ordered to the confirmed opening and approved configuration. Replacing a door within the existing opening is different from widening or raising the opening, cutting masonry or changing structural framing; any additional construction must be identified separately in the written quotation.

Planning a residential window or exterior door project in Vaughan?
Request an in-home assessment and a written, opening-by-opening quotation from Falcon WD.
Vaughan replacement projects are managed around four essentials: correct measurements, products suited to the openings, a clearly written finishing scope and careful installation. Falcon WD coordinates the approved work from the first assessment through the final cleanup.
Falcon WD has worked with Ontario homeowners since 2010, specializing in residential window, entry-door and patio-door replacement rather than general renovation work.
Falcon WD is a BBB Accredited Business, and homeowners can review independent feedback on Google, BBB and HomeStars before requesting an estimate.
Falcon WD supplies ENERGY STAR certified replacement windows and explains the practical differences among glass packages, operating styles, frame colours and hardware choices.
The approved scope can include removal of the existing unit, installation, exterior capping or finishing, operation checks, cleanup and disposal, exactly as listed in the quotation.
Homes across Vaughan do not share one standard window or door package. Falcon WD coordinates unit dimensions, brickmould, jamb depth, interior casing requirements and exterior capping with the measured opening and the home’s brick, stone, siding or stucco details.
A single-hung window provides ventilation through one operating sash while the other sash remains fixed.
Both sashes operate in a double-hung window, allowing ventilation from the top or bottom and convenient access for cleaning.
Picture windows do not open, making them useful where a larger glass area and an unobstructed view are priorities.
An awning sash is hinged at the top and opens outward, a practical option for controlled ventilation in suitable openings.
Casement windows open on side hinges and close against compression seals for ventilation and weather resistance.
Fixed casement windows match the profile of operating casements without hinges or operating hardware.
A single slider has one horizontal operating sash and one fixed sash for straightforward ventilation.
A double slider allows both horizontal sashes to move, providing ventilation from either side.
An end-vent slider combines a fixed centre section with an operating sash at each end.
Bay and bow configurations project beyond the wall to add glass area, interior depth and architectural character where the opening permits.
Sliding patio doors combine outdoor access with a broad glass area, screen options and configurations sized to the measured opening.
Steel entry doors are available in custom configurations with compatible panel designs, glass, colours, hardware and locking options.
Fiberglass entry doors can provide smooth or wood-grain finishes with low-maintenance construction and multiple glass and hardware choices.
Well-planned replacement can improve comfort, operation, weather resistance and appearance. The result depends on the condition of the existing opening, the selected window or door, the glass package and the installation and finishing scope.
Reduce unwanted air leakage: Correct sizing, sealing and finishing can address drafts around worn window and door openings.
Select the complete glass package: Double- and triple-pane units, Low-E coatings, argon gas and spacer systems should be evaluated together.
Review the full window rating: Frame design, operating style, glass and unit size all contribute to final performance.
Improve everyday operation: Properly fitted sashes, panels, rollers and hardware make windows and doors easier to use.
Compare compatible security hardware: Options can include upgraded window locks, reinforced door components and multipoint locking systems.
Protect the opening: Appropriate flashing, sealants and exterior finishing help manage air and water around the installed unit.
Coordinate exterior details: Frame colours, profiles, glass designs and hardware can be selected to suit the home’s façade.
Plan the interior finish: Casing, jamb depth, hardware and sightlines should work with the room as well as the exterior.
Confirm every configuration: Maximum sizes, glass choices and hardware availability vary, so final specifications are checked before ordering.
Falcon WD follows a measured and documented process for Vaughan projects. Specialty shapes, custom colours, structural opening changes or heritage considerations can add separate review, production or construction steps.
1
The first visit reviews the existing units, symptoms or operating problems, exterior conditions, access and the homeowner’s priorities.
2
After the quotation is approved, Falcon WD confirms final measurements, glass or door configuration, colours, hardware and all order details.
3
Standard production commonly takes about three to four weeks after final measurement and deposit. Custom colours, specialty glass, complex door systems and seasonal demand can extend the schedule.
4
On installation day, the team completes the approved removal, installation and finishing, checks operation and locks, cleans the work area and removes old units when disposal is included.
Ready to review your Vaughan window or door project?
Arrange an in-home assessment for replacement windows, entry doors or a sliding patio door.
These answers address common Vaughan planning questions. The approved quotation, final product specifications and written warranty documents remain the controlling information for each project.
Consider an assessment when a window has persistent drafts, water entry, failed insulated glass, damaged frames or hardware, or becomes difficult to open and lock. Falcon WD reviews the complete opening before recommending glass replacement, retrofit installation or full-frame replacement.
Vaughan homeowners can compare casement, awning, fixed casement, picture, single- and double-hung, slider, end-vent slider, bay and bow windows. Final availability depends on the measured size, selected product line and operating configuration.
Permit requirements depend on the work. Replacing a unit within the existing opening is different from enlarging the opening, cutting masonry, altering structural framing or changing a designated heritage property. Falcon WD identifies proposed opening changes separately, and homeowners should confirm applicable requirements with the City of Vaughan.
Both can be appropriate. Triple-pane glass can improve the complete window’s thermal performance and interior glass temperature, while an ENERGY STAR certified double-pane configuration may suit some openings and budgets. Compare the full rating, size, orientation and Low-E coating rather than pane count alone.
Falcon WD supplies custom steel and fiberglass entry doors, single and double-door systems, sidelites, transoms and sliding patio doors. Glass, colours, screens, sill finishes, hardware and locking options are confirmed for the selected system and measured opening.
The quotation identifies the exact scope. It can include removal, installation, exterior capping or finishing, operation checks, cleanup and disposal. Interior casing, jamb extensions, masonry work, structural changes and opening enlargement are included only when specifically written into the quotation.
Standard orders commonly require about three to four weeks after final measurement and deposit. Specialty glass, custom colours, complex entry-door systems, seasonal volume and manufacturer schedules can change the expected completion date.
Warranty coverage depends on the manufacturer, product line, glass, hardware and installation scope. Falcon WD provides the applicable product and installation warranty information in writing so the homeowner can review it before the order is finalized.

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!
