What makes for an amazing window or door? Other companies might tell you it comes from superior-quality installation work. As experts in the industry, we couldn’t agree more.
But what sets Fieldstone apart is our unique and better approach to getting there.
With over 25+ years of experience serving satisfied customers in Toronto and the GTA, we pride ourselves on our work. Our competent team knows which installation techniques work best, ensuring you receive a high-quality result that’s tailored just for you.
So, what’s our time-tested secret to perfection? Well, it’s not just about installation day. There’s more to it than that. Here are the two main reasons:
- Meticulous preparation: Unlike many other companies, we pay attention to detail from the start. We begin with a personalized design consultation where we carefully understand your needs, long before installation day. Whether it’s a replacement window or door or a new construction project, we’ve got you covered.
- No shortcuts: We believe in delivering beautiful, authentic craftsmanship. Our dedication to detail has earned us a reputation you can trust. We won’t cut corners and compromise on the quality you deserve. Say goodbye to leaky installations or products that don’t match your home’s style.
It starts with the consultation … and continues with the installation
The Consultation: Where Your Vision Comes to Life
We prioritize personalization without any pressure. Your ideal window or door installation starts with a thoughtful design that reflects your preferences and home’s style. Our process is seamless and enjoyable. Upon contact, a friendly Fieldstone Design Consultant meets you for a personalized discussion at your convenience. We’re flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule, whether you need more time or prefer a shorter meeting. Feel free to share ideas and questions with us.
At Fieldstone, we’re all about personal touches, aligning with your home’s unique personality. If a magazine or neighbor’s style caught your eye, your consultant offers tailored suggestions, discussing colours, trims, and product styles to match your concept with your home. Choose between maintaining the original look or refreshing with new options.
Take your time to decide; there’s no rush or pressure. We’re here to support you until you’re satisfied. Once you’re ready, we proceed after your approval.
The Final Measure
During the final measurement phase, we don’t just focus on gathering dimensions; we take a comprehensive approach. Our expert team assesses the technical challenges of seamlessly installing your new windows and doors, whether it’s navigating through your home or providing access to a second or third floor, all while minimizing any disruption to your daily life.
Think of it as having an extra set of experienced eyes to catch any potential oversights, like the need for door stops or other crucial details. At Fieldstone, we understand that these details matter greatly.
After finalizing precise measurements, we create an order for your custom-fit windows or doors and coordinate everything for your installation day. Our dedication to precision and attention to detail ensures your satisfaction from start to finish.
Ensuring Quality Installations: The Fieldstone Approach
Ever wondered why your newly installed window or door starts leaking or acting up? Well, here’s the scoop: a whopping 99% of the time, it’s all due to shoddy preparation in the lead-up to installation. And guess what? That ends up causing a string of low-quality issues on the day of installation.
A poorly installed window or door can mean:
- They’re not aligned properly
- Lack enough fasteners
- Have subpar insulation and sealant.
And if they don’t open and close just the way they should, it’s a recipe for early hinge and hardware failure, not to mention the pesky drafts and leaks that come along for the ride. And brace yourself – if air and water find their way in due to slipshod flashing and sealing, you might just find yourself in a sticky situation, dealing with unpleasant rot, mould, or unwelcome insect guests.
With Fieldstone, you avoid these problems and get the job done right.
Why Choose Our Installation? Unveiling the Fieldstone Difference
A Commitment to Excellence
When it comes to your windows and doors, our installations redefine quality. At Fieldstone, we pride ourselves on doing things differently. While others opt for quick, easy, and cost-effective methods, we take the path of superior craftsmanship, even if it demands a bit more time.
We’re so committed to excellence that we’re proud to feature every finished job on our social media and website, showcasing our dedication to delivering top-notch results.
Unmatched Personalization
Dependent on your style, preferences, and needs, we offer versatile installation options:
- Full Frame: A comprehensive approach involving the removal of the sash, frame, and trim for precision and insulation. Ideal for enhancing glass area and exterior consistency.
- Sub-Frame: A sub-frame window installation involves fitting a new window within an existing frame, providing added insulation and improved aesthetics.
- Split-Frame: The split-frame installation method preserves the interior mouldings while splitting the exterior frame to accommodate the new window. This installation method can present challenges, and it’s crucial to have a skilled installer with expertise in this process.
Brickmould vs. Capping: The Distinct Advantage
Our approach shines through in our choice of materials. While some window companies resort to aluminium or vinyl capping to fill gaps, we embrace custom-made brickmould in nearly 90% of our cases.
Brickmould, or exterior casing, is a type of moulding used to bridge the gap between the window frame and the external siding/brick of a building.
For further insights into the benefits of brickmould versus capping, we encourage you to check out our blog post “The Importance of Brickmould for Window and Door Replacement”.
Tailored Excellence: More than a Cookie-Cutter Approach
We recognize that every window installation is unique. Should capping be the sole option, rest assured, we won’t cut corners. Our commitment remains unwavering. Expect a polished look, free of visible fasteners or nails. The capping and caulking will be meticulously color-matched, selecting from a vast array of shades.
Custom Interior Moulding: Elegance Defined
Creating a seamless look between your new window or door and your home’s interior is vital. Our vast selection of custom-made mouldings includes unique cases, like replicating a 100-year-old moulding to match an old home’s existing interior trim. To do so, we had to manufacture a custom-made knife!
Expect enduring quality in both exterior and interior mouldings – for instance, we’ll glue the mitre joints extra-tight before nailing them, for added durability and strength.
Seamless Installation Day Experience
Fieldstone works with some of the finest door and window installers in the GTA. These experienced, professional installation team members work exclusively for Fieldstone, are fiercely proud of their craftsmanship, and are thoroughly trained by Fenestration Canada and the Siding and Window Dealers Association of Canada (SAWDAC).
At Fieldstone, attention to detail is very important, and our installers are dedicated to getting the job done right the first time. Here’s what to expect on installation day:
- At the appointed time, your installers will come to your home. You can expect them to be friendly, knowledgeable, and pleasant.
- Before they start working, they will lay down drop sheets to protect your floors and furniture from getting damaged or dirty.
- If the installation takes more than a day, at the end of every work day, your installers will clean up the work area and pack up all their tools.
- Once the work is done, your installers will do a final walkthrough with you and answer any questions you may have. They’ll leave your newly installed product looking clean and neat, and tidy up all the debris they’ve left behind. They always take care of the disposal of your old window or door.
