Complete Window & Door Transformation in Simcoe County

At Weaver Exterior Remodeling, we design exteriors that bring modern style, lasting comfort, and year-round performance to your home. Recently, we completed a full-scale window and door replacement project that truly showcases how the right upgrades can transform a property inside and out.

This renovation included:

  • 13 brand new energy-efficient windows
  • 1 oversized patio door requiring a custom cut-out
  • 2 additional patio doors
  • 3 new entry doors

The result? A brighter, more open home that not only looks stunning but is also better equipped to handle Ontario’s changing seasons.

The Homeowner’s Goal

When we first met with the homeowners, their main request was to install a series of large energy-efficient windows so they could enjoy expansive views of their backyard. They wanted more natural light and a stronger visual connection to the outdoors. During our consultation process, we explored their goals in more depth and presented an alternative idea: rather than investing in oversized fixed windows, they could achieve even more functionality and savings by installing a 16-foot patio door with two sidelights.

This recommendation provided several advantages. First, all patio doors are built with tempered glass by default, which meant the homeowners wouldn’t have to pay additional costs for upgraded safety glazing. Second, the sliding configuration would allow them to not only look out at their yard but also step directly onto the backyard with ease- something a wall of windows alone couldn’t provide. Finally, by choosing the patio door with sidelights, our customer gained an even larger, more open view than the original window plan could offer.

This type of renovation requires careful planning, precision installation, and structural expertise -exactly what our team at Weaver is known for.

The Installation

  • Removing the Old Windows & Doors

The old units were removed carefully to protect both the siding and interior finishes. This also gave us a chance to inspect the wall structures, ensuring they were solid and ready for the upgrades.

  • Structural Cut-Out for Oversized Patio Door

The highlight of this project was the massive new patio slider installation. To make this possible, our team cut into the wall, reinforced the framing with a new structural header, and prepared the opening for the large sliding glass door. This step completely changed the feel of the home - creating a wall-to-wall view of the outdoors.

  • Installing 13 New Windows

We replaced 13 windows throughout the property, each chosen for maximum energy efficiency and modern appeal. These new windows are built with high-performance glass, tight seals, and durable frames to keep out drafts, reduce energy loss, and provide year-round comfort.

  • Entry & Patio Door Transformation

In addition to the large patio slider, we installed:

2 new patio doors: Smooth-gliding, durable, and designed for everyday convenience.

3 entry doors: Each one carefully selected for both curb appeal and security, ensuring the homeowners now have doors that look modern, keep their home safe, and seal tightly against the weather.

  • Clean-Up & Final Touches

We take pride in leaving every job site clean and ready to enjoy. Once the installation was complete, our team performed a full inspection, ensured smooth operation on every window and door, and confirmed weatherproofing for maximum performance.

  • The Results: A Brighter, More Efficient Home

The transformation was incredible. From the outside, the home now features crisp, modern windows and sleek new doors that instantly boost curb appeal. Inside, the new windows flood each room with natural light, making the space feel larger and more inviting.

The homeowners are especially thrilled with the oversized sliding patio door. This new feature not only expands their view of the backyard but also creates an effortless transition from their indoor living space to the outdoor deck.
