EconoShield takes pride in being the leading window and door company in the Canadian Prairies, providing energy-efficient windows to all of its clients.

It’s also handy that they supply an array of different window types and accessories. In our opinion, this is an added convenience as clients won’t have to source their windows from a third-party.

Customers that select custom-shaped items have the option of customising the inside and exterior furnishings, grills, seals, and crank handles. Tailoring always gets top marks from us as this allows the client to realise their specific vision for their home.

It’s noteworthy that they provide free in-home consultations to clients within their extensive service area to ensure a smooth and effective installation. 

We also like that the company’s installers will check not just your home but also your budget and lifestyle during the consultation. This, in our opinion, allows them to make more informed recommendations concerning your specific needs.

We appreciate that the level of customer support continues after installation since the company provides a lifetime guarantee on all types of hardware and craftsmanship. 

It is also worth mentioning that their warranty policy is transferable to the next homeowner if you decide to sell your property.

However, we’ve received complaints that some clients had issues with installation quality. On the other hand, we’re glad to see management promptly reassuring these clients by reiterating their commitment to improve workmanship.

Window Seal West has been providing windows, window replacements, and window installations to clients across Canada for over 20 years.

What we like about the company is that they conduct in-home consultations before selling or installing vinyl windows, fiberglass doors, which is really great as clients will be able to learn more about their services.

It’s worth noting that they accommodate custom-shaped window pane requests. especially since it requires a certain level of expertise to work with odd-shaped windows. 

Another thing we like is that they offer other window accessories such as interior and exterior furnishings and grills. They also offer colourful and decorative glass that we think adds to clients’ home aesthetics.

Additionally, all of their windows are covered by a comprehensive 25-year transferable warranty. We appreciate that everything is covered by this guarantee, including the window’s glass and frame.

They also offer financial perks, which we think is very helpful, especially for clients who are on a tight budget. They provide a 10% seniors’ discount and an easy payment plan that lets clients pay in installments without a downpayment.

A word of caution: we’ve read customer reviews describing missed or abrupt appointment rescheduling. Some clients we’ve spoken with also shared issues about difficulties getting in touch with them.

We hope that they can resolve this, as inaccessibility and inconsistency can do a lot of damage to their brand of customer service.

What we liked most about Ecoline Windows is their wide range of window services, which includes everything from supply to installation.

We also appreciate that they provide a good selection of vinyl windows including casement, sliding, hanging, and even bay and bow windows..

It’s worth noting that their windows have multiple panes and low-emissive glass coatings, which are ideal in hot weather. We learned that the low-emissive glass coating helps in reducing infrared energy, which is bad for the skin.

As a result of their efforts, all of its products have Energy Star ratings and have been evaluated in accordance with the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS).

Aside from these accreditations, the company’s windows and installation services come with a 25-year transferable warranty on vinyl frames, glass, and other hardware. However, labour charges are not specifically covered by the company’s warranty programme.

In matters of payment, we love that they offer flexible payment options, from monthly installments to deferral programmes. We think this makes their services more accessible to those with the strictest budgets.

We also appreciate that they provide an online window project installation cost calculator for clients to use to get an estimate before contacting them.

However, we heard that it falls a little short when it comes to accountability and after-care assistance as they apparently don’t return back to repair any damage caused by the installation itself, such as misalignment.

We’ve noted this since we’ve received complaints about how lengthy it takes to resolve issues that develop after installation.

Greenfox Windows and Doors has been around for more than 10 years and already has five years’ worth of Homestars Awards. The company’s high-quality window and door services and products are to be credited for this accomplishment.

All their window offerings are energy-star rated and Baeumler-approved. For thermal efficiency and noise reduction, the company even provides double and triple-paned windows.

We also appreciate that they offer online and in-person consultations to assist clients in selecting windows that are suitable for their homes, lifestyles, locations, and  budget.  

As for their payment scheme, the company has affordable payment plans with zero interest and no downpayment. However, we were a bit disappointed that online payments aren’t an option here.

The company additionally gives $20 from each transaction to the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton and the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary to pay it forward.

We also appreciate that the company is truly distinguished by its long-standing, lifetime transferable warranty. This guarantee covers both the vinyl frames and associated hardware as well as the labour.

Finally, their mobile showroom is particularly impressive since it includes before and after pictures of their window installations. We appreciate this idea since clients will have a reference if they wish to recreate the same design in their houses.

What we liked most about Window Mart Windows and Doors is that they offer a variety of window designs that are all made of vinyl for energy efficiency, toughness, and affordability.

We also like that they also install window grills to improve window security and appearance. Additionally, we appreciate that they offer extras like window screens, grids, and tipple glass.

In our opinion, the company provides excellent service as they provide add-ons or extras. We think this is best for clients who want to stay on budget but at the same time want to get a variety of accessories such as window screens.

To assure the success and quality of each window installation, they only employ industry-trained and insured specialists for every project they manage.

As for their pricing, one of their cheapest payment plans has a low monthly fee of $29 per month. That’s really quite affordable, in our opinion.

We also appreciate them providing the option to defer payment for 12 months without incurring interest. This is a thoughtful way to render the services needed for financially-strapped clients who have urgent safety concerns.

Lastly, they also offer a lifetime warranty on frames, glass, and some other window components. Having stated that, note that this warranty does not cover labour.
