Preparing your renovation budget

Financial planning is the first step toward a successful renovation. To obtain a coherent estimate, it is advisable to count your windows by size, distinguishing between small formats, standard dimensions, French doors, and large bay windows.

This precision allows for a more accurate valuation. Do not forget to include labor costs and the cost of removing old frames in your calculation.

Respecting local and architectural rules

If your home is located in a protected area or if the facades are particularly visible, authorities may impose restrictions on the shape and color of the frames.

It is highly recommended to consult the municipal urban planning department before starting work to avoid any disputes.
