Home and storefront glass services in Oshawa, from one screen to a shop window
Window, door and home glass jobs, small fixes beside full replacements: in Oshawa's older houses and rentals, the answer is often one sealed unit, roller or screen. We connect you with an independent local pro who quotes you directly. No windshields. Know the symptom, not the name? Fog in the morning, a sliding door that won't lock, a window well filling with water and glass broken overnight each have a page.
Fogged, cracked, stuck
Windows and the glass in them
Foggy sealed units
Haze trapped between the panes points to a broken seal. Most often the frame stays and a new sealed unit goes in.
Broken window glass
A cracked pane, one pane of a bay or an old storm. The City counts reglazing cracked glass as part of good repair.
Window repair
Crank stripped, balance gone, lock that won't catch, sash that won't stay up. The worn part can usually be replaced alone.
Replacement windows
For rotted or leaking frames. A same-size swap on a house usually needs no City permit; other buildings, check first.
Enlarging a basement window for a bedroom exit isn't a same-size swap. It needs a permit, so ask the City before work starts.
Sliders and entries
Patio, entry and storm doors
Sliding door repair
Won't lock, won't glide, jumps the track. Rollers and latches wear out long before the glass and swap out on their own.
Patio door replacement
A bent frame, water at the sill, every panel fogged: that's when a new slider does what repairs can't.
Door glass
New glass in an existing door: a cracked insert, a fogged sidelight, a garden-door pane. It's normally tempered safety glass.
Mesh and closers
Screens and screen doors, storm doors included
Window screens
The City expects a screen on every window that opens in a home. Rescreening a torn one is a small job.
Custom screens
New screens for odd sizes, older windows or new windows that came without them, measured opening by opening for a snug fit.
Screen and storm doors
Torn mesh, a door off its track, a storm-door closer that won't hold. Often one part, not a new door.
Bath and interior
Shower doors, mirrors and glass cut to order
Shower glass doors
Sagging tub doors, worn seals and tired rollers in older bathrooms, or a new framed or frameless shower door.
Mirrors
Bathroom, wall and medicine-cabinet mirrors cut and hung, often by the same pro who handles the shower door upstairs.
Custom glass
One-off pieces cut to size: tabletops, shelves, cabinet doors and picture glass, made from the old piece or its measurements.
Shops and rentals
Storefronts and commercial glass doors
Storefront glass
A cracked or smashed display window. The opening gets covered first, then the new pane is cut to measure and set.
Commercial glass doors
Doors that slam, drag or won't latch. Closers, pivots, locks and glass are replaced part by part; the door stays.
Vandalism glass repair
Glass smashed on purpose, a forced lock. The City has offered a fund toward these repairs and deductibles, subject to availability.
Property managers
Several rental units needing reglazing, screens or safety stops on upper apartment windows, all listed in one request.
The same-size permit exemption covers houses only. For a storefront, apartment building or condo, ask the City before work starts.
