Window and Door Replacement in Downtown Toronto
Vinyl (PVC) windows and steel and fiberglass doors, supplied and installed by our own crew in the Annex, Cabbagetown, Leslieville and across downtown.
Downtown Toronto houses are some of the oldest in the city, and they live hard lives. Streetcar rumble, construction noise, tight lots and 100-year-old window openings that were never cut to a standard size. If your windows rattle in the wind, fog up between the panes or let the street into the bedroom, replacing them changes how the house feels. Accent Windows & Doors replaces windows and doors in downtown homes with our own crew, driving in from our Etobicoke office. Every job starts with a free in-home quote.
Window and Door Replacement for Downtown Toronto Homes
Downtown is not one housing type. Each neighbourhood has its own kind of house, and each one asks something different of a new window.
In the Annex, big red-brick homes on streets like Madison Avenue and Admiral Road have tall openings, deep reveals and often a bay at the front. In Cabbagetown, Victorian rowhouses sit shoulder to shoulder, and many streets fall inside heritage conservation districts. Riverdale, Leslieville and Corktown are full of late-1800s workers’ cottages and semis, narrow and tall, where a bad window shows up in the heating bill. Parkdale and Roncesvalles have large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many split into units, with a lot of windows per floor.
Hand-built openings on houses this old are rarely square or standard. We measure every opening on site and order windows made to fit, instead of forcing a stock size into the wall.

Windows We Install Downtown
We supply and install vinyl (PVC) casement, slider, bay and bow windows. Casements fit tall, narrow openings and open fully for airflow in a rowhouse with few windows. Bay and bow windows suit a front room that needs more light and floor space. Tighter seals and multi-pane glass also cut street noise, which matters on a busy corner or a streetcar route. Our window replacement page covers styles, glass and the 25-year warranty.
Entry Doors for Downtown Porches and Narrow Frontages
In a downtown semi or rowhouse the front door is often right on the sidewalk, so it carries a lot of the street presence. We supply and install steel and fiberglass entry doors with sidelites and transoms where the opening allows. A sidelite brings daylight into a narrow front hall, a common problem in older homes. See styles on our entry door replacement page. Doors carry a 10-year warranty on the slab and glass and 5 years on the finish. For rear walkouts and decks we also install sliding and French patio doors.
Heritage Streets and Older Homes
Parts of Cabbagetown, Harbord Village and Yorkville-Hazelton are heritage conservation districts, and some individual houses are designated. Changes visible from the street can need approval, and the city can have views on window style. We check designation at your quote and tell you what applies before you commit. We cannot promise that any one style will meet a given district’s rules, so we confirm that early.
How We Install Windows Downtown
Older brick homes need the install method matched to the opening. We recommend one after the in-home visit, from brick to brick, retrofit and stud to stud. Our installation methods page explains each one. Windows are made to order in 4 to 6 weeks, and most installs take 1 to 2 days.

Downtown Toronto Window and Door Replacement FAQs
How much does window replacement cost in downtown Toronto?
Price depends on the number of windows, their sizes, the styles, the glass and the install method. Older houses with custom openings cost more than standard sizes. A free in-home quote gives you an exact price.
My house in Cabbagetown or the Annex is over 100 years old. Can you replace the windows?
Yes. We replace windows in older brick homes. We check each opening on site and recommend the install method that suits it.
Do you work in heritage conservation districts?
We can. We check designation at the quote and tell you what applies. Some districts have rules on window style, and we confirm those before you order.
Can you match my neighbour’s windows on a semi or rowhouse?
We can match style and colour closely. We bring samples to the in-home visit so you can compare them against the existing wall.
Do you replace entry doors and patio doors too?
Yes. We install steel and fiberglass entry doors, sidelites, transoms and sliding and French patio doors.
What warranty do I get?
25 years on windows, 10 years on doors (slab and glass), 5 years on the door finish and 10 years on installation.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Downtown Toronto?
Replacing windows in the same openings usually does not need a building permit. Enlarging or moving an opening does, and heritage-designated homes have extra rules. We confirm this at the quote.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed, insured and WSIB covered.
