Frequently asked question about Front Door Replacements in Ottawa

How much does an entrance door cost?

The exact cost will depend on a few factors, including the amount of customization on the door, the size, and any other extras you may choose, such as sidelite units of shaped transoms. However, we suggest that you budget between $1,600-$5,000 for a premium entrance door. We can also provide a free, no-pressure quote upon request.

Are solid wood doors good for exterior doors?

Wood doors are not the best choice for an exterior door. We recommend sticking with fibreglass doors as they are maintenance free due to their durability, and offer increased flexibility as they are able to resemble natural wood and can be stained a wide range of colours. Fibreglass doors will also hold up better in climates as harsh as Ottawa.

Can I replace a door without replacing the frame?

You can, but this is not recommended. The condition of the frame is an important factor, as rotten door frames must be replaced. Other factors like the placement of the door hinges, insulation around the frame, and lock system type (multi point locking systems vs. regular lock sets) are all important factors to consider when replacing a door without replacing the frame. Not replacing the door frame at the same time as the door can lead to issues down the road if these factors are not considered. We recommend replacing both the frame and the door at the same time to ensure that it is done once, and done right.

How much value does a new front door add?

If you are looking to add value to your home, a new front door is a great way to do it. It is estimated that a new front door has a 68% return on investment in terms of additional value on the home.

How long does it take to install a door?

Generally, at Big City Windows and Doors, a door installation is a half-day to full-day job. There are a few factors, including how difficult it is to remove your old door and any patchwork that we will need to perform in order to ensure that the frame and door are adequately sealed. We usually complete these jobs in a few hours, and are out of your home by the end of the day.

Our Reputation is built on Trust and Quality

SK

The company salesman was great rep. He provided all necessary information and facilitated us applying for the government-sponsored interest free loan.
Fourteen windows where quickly changed by competent, knowledgeable and courteous workers. They answered all of our questions and looked after any worries we might have had. The complicated metal sheet flashing of all the windows in our mansard-type roof was done very well. Everything looks great and the house already starting to feel warmer. No cold is felt on the hands when in contact with the vinyl of the windows and very little when on the triple pan glass. Thank you so much to all of the Big City Windows & Doors staff for a job well done.

My dad was in the business for many years, so we had a detailed list of what we wanted and high expectations for how it was to be done Big City installed everything a month ago, and my dad is still singing their praises! Everyone who comes to the house, even strangers, remarks on how gorgeous our new front door is!

We highly recommend Big City Windows for your next window project!

We will share your company.

I had Big City Windows replace a patio door and a large living room window, through a recommendation from our neighbour. Well from the start of the process, to the finish. I couldnt be happier. The quality of work was next to none, the quality of the materials used were amazing The 2 employees were great!! They arrived first thing in yhe morning and worked their butts off till the job was done. My wife and I are completely satisfied!! They left a clean work place when they were done.

WD

Big City Windows and Doors is by far one of the best companies with which we have dealt. They took the time to look over our project and come up with recommendations that met our needs.
We had a new side door and door from the house to the garage replaced. We really like the new self closing hinges on the door to the garage.
The installation team was amazing. They took even the smallest detail into account when finishing up the install. You would have never known they were there.
We're already saving towards replacing our front door to make a matching set.
They will be getting our business for the foreseeable future for sure.

CD

Very happy I was shown different windows styles. We went with the larger pane and smaller opening window. It's like looking through a clear opening. We have a big bushy backyard, so nice to see it so well. I actually had a couple deer come peek in...lol. all I could see were these big ears in the dark. Our windows are lower. Also went with vinyl frames...love them. There easy to wash and remove when painting around them.
The installers were also fantastic, they even re-adjusted our front door from last march 2023 without my asking.
Thank you very much.

CI

We just got ours installed in Orangeville, very easy from sales to installation. Price and quality is great. Did not get their names, the 2 installers were polite and very proffesional, explained what they were doing, and most important, very clean! Nothing on the ground. Also, the next day, when the scrap was picked up, he too was polite and proffessional.

VK

Big City installed our steel roof and they did a very thorough job. The house looks brand new and modern and the roof will last for 50 years plus. The installers were very friendly and professional and had it all done in two days. We have neighbours walking by and complimenting us on the new beautiful steel roof. We highly recommend Big City to anyone that is looking to replace their old asphalt shingles.

CA

Bit City team did an excellent job on our roof. They are very fast and very professional in dealing with customer. They are very friendly and makes us comfortable and confident that they will do things right.

Also, the steel roofing creates an outstanding look of our house. It's 50 years warranty and it will save our money in the long run.

Special thanks to Andrii Botiuk and his team. My wife and I are very satisfied to the outcome. We will definitely highly recommend your company.
