Yes, You Can Replace Windows and Doors in Winter!
Why Homeowners Often Hesitate to Install in Winter
It’s easy to understand the hesitation. The idea of opening up your home to the cold can sound uncomfortable. Many people assume that sealants won’t set properly, or that cold weather will compromise quality.
In reality, modern materials and professional installation techniques make winter installations just as effective as those done in warmer months. The key is working with experienced professionals who know how to adapt to the season — and that’s exactly what Big City Windows & Doors does best.
Winter Conditions: What Really Happens During Installation
Fast and Efficient Process
Every opening is carefully prepared and installed in stages to minimize exposure. Typically, each window or door opening remains uncovered for no longer than 10–15 minutes — meaning your home never experiences a significant drop in temperature.
Most homeowners are surprised to find that they barely notice any cold at all during the process. Our team works quickly and efficiently, sealing each new unit immediately after placement to maintain your home’s comfort.
Designed for Canadian Winters
We use cold-weather-rated foam, sealants, and membranes that stay flexible and effective even in freezing temperatures. This ensures a tight, energy-efficient seal and long-lasting performance — no matter what the Ottawa weather brings.
Inside and Out — With Care
Our crews protect your interior floors and furniture, close off rooms as needed, and work systematically to ensure minimal disruption. Snow and ice outside? Not a problem. We’re fully equipped to handle it safely and cleanly.
