If you’re thinking about replacing your old windows with new, energy efficient windows, wouldn’t government rebates for window upgrades help? Well we’re happy to announce that Government rebates are back and there’s no better time to jump on the opportunity while our government is promoting energy efficient upgrades to your home. It's now easier to apply for the rebates with the Better Homes program. 

A high performing window provides tremendous value to your home, significantly improves curb appeal, increases the amount of natural light, provides enhanced views, and increases energy efficiency. For this reason, a high quality window is an important investment. The cost of new windows will depend on the type of installation, the style, additional features, and of course, the number of windows.
