Window replacement in Westboro
Westboro mixes early 20th-century homes with a lot of modern infill and condo buildings along Richmond Road. A brick house from the 1930s and a brand-new semi next door can have completely different window needs, and the right choice for one may look out of place on the other. Even within one block, house ages can vary by eighty years.
WindowBroker can help you sort through it. We connect Westboro homeowners with vetted installers who quote for free, so you can compare products, styles and prices before committing. Call 613-261-1223 or request a quote.

Westboro homes
Many of Westboro's older houses were built between the 1910s and the 1940s, often with wood double-hung windows, some still original and some replaced over the years. Since the early 2000s, many lots have been redeveloped with infill semis and modern single-family homes, typically with large windows, tall fixed panes and contemporary styling.
In older homes, common issues include drafty wood sashes, windows painted shut, failed sash cords and rotting sills. In infill homes, owners sometimes want to upgrade builder-grade units to better-performing or differently styled windows, such as black frames or larger openings toward the back yard. Smaller wartime and postwar bungalows in the area sit somewhere in between, often with early vinyl replacements that are due again.
What to consider in Westboro
For older homes, full-frame replacement is often needed if sills are damaged. Double-hung or casement windows with exterior grilles suit the traditional streetscape, while modern infill homes tend to use large fixed panes and casements in dark frames.
Homes near Richmond Road, Scott Street, the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway or the Queensway may benefit from sound-reducing glass. Condo owners will need board approval for any change. If your house is older, check the City of Ottawa heritage register to confirm it is not designated before replacing visible windows.
Modern infill homes often have large glass areas facing the back yard, where low-E coatings tuned to sun exposure can help control summer heat.

FAQ
Window replacement in Westboro: questions.
Can I get black window frames on my Westboro infill home?
Yes. Most manufacturers offer black or dark exterior finishes on vinyl, fibreglass and aluminum-clad windows. Dark frames absorb more heat, so check the product is rated for dark colours on south- and west-facing walls. If the home is in a condo, get board approval before ordering.
Should I restore or replace the wood windows in my 1930s Westboro home?
If the wood is sound and you value the original look, restoration with new weatherstripping and storm windows can work well. If the sashes are rotten or very drafty, wood-clad or fibreglass replacements keep a traditional appearance with less upkeep. Get prices for both before deciding.
