A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemized quote you can take away and compare against others. - Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting. - Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for. - Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. ## Contact - Phone: (905) 770-3719 - Website: http://www.windowdoorspecialist.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/the-window-door-specialist Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
