Fits Montreal

Real wood inside, clad and weatherproof outside

Real wood interiors bring a warmth and character no vinyl can match — the grain, the depth, the way it takes a stain or paint to match trim and floors. It is why wood is still the choice for heritage and character homes where the inside of the window is part of the room.

Modern wood windows pair that interior with an aluminum- or fiberglass-clad exterior, so the face that takes Montreal's sun, snow and freeze-thaw is weatherproof and needs no painting outside. You get the authentic wood look without the scraping, sealing and rot that used to come with older wood windows.

Wood suits traditional homes and pairs beautifully with casement windows and double-hung windows, where the proportions suit the period look. Prefer lower upkeep? Compare it with vinyl windows or slim aluminum windows and we will lay out the trade-offs.

How it works

Four steps from free measure to sealed install

  1. Book the estimate

    Call, text or use the form. We book a free in-home visit — no obligation, no high-pressure sales table.

  2. On-site measure

    We measure every opening, check the frames and sills for rot or water damage, and walk through material, style and glass options in plain language.

  3. Written quote

    Line-item quote with the window line, glass package, U-factor, warranty and haul-away on one page. Financing attached when you want it.

  4. Install, cleanly

    Drop cloths, boot covers and a full air-seal on every unit. Old windows hauled away and a walkthrough of your new windows plus warranty registration.

What you get

Heritage character, installed to last

Each wood window is measured on site and installed with extra care to protect the finish and the fit — clad wood is a premium product and we treat it like one, air-sealing the perimeter and detailing the trim so the character carries right to the edges. It is the same standard across every window we install.

The written quote spells out the wood species, the exterior cladding, the glass package and the warranty up front, so you know exactly what you are getting, and the frame and sealed glass carry a written warranty. When you are ready, book a free estimate, see our full window replacement options, or read the common questions first.

Common questions

Montreal wood window installation, answered

Rot, maintenance and why homeowners choose wood windows.

Not modern clad-wood windows. The exterior — the side exposed to Montreal's weather — is wrapped in aluminum or fiberglass cladding that sheds water and never needs painting, so the wood you see and touch inside stays warm and dry. The old problem of wood windows rotting came from bare, painted exteriors that let moisture in once the finish failed; cladding solves that at the source. Keep the interior finish maintained and the clad exterior does its job for decades. We also flash and seal the opening properly so water never reaches the frame.
Much less than the wood windows of the past. The clad aluminum or fiberglass exterior is essentially maintenance-free — no scraping, sealing or repainting the outside. The interior wood may want an occasional refinish over the years if you want to keep it looking its best or change the stain, but that is a comfortable indoor job, not a ladder-and-scraper one. Compared to a fully exposed wood window, a clad-wood unit gives you the look with a fraction of the upkeep, and we will tell you what to expect for your finish.
For the authentic look and warmth of real wood, especially in heritage and character homes where the interior of the window is part of the room's design. Vinyl and fiberglass are excellent, low-maintenance frames, but they cannot reproduce the grain, depth and stainable finish of genuine wood. If matching original trim, keeping a period streetscape right, or simply having a warmer, richer interior matters to you, clad wood is worth the premium — and the cladding means you get that look without the old maintenance burden. We will lay out the trade-offs honestly.
Yes — the real wood interior can be stained or painted to match your existing trim and floors, which is a big reason people choose it.
Yes — with triple-pane Low-E glass they perform right alongside vinyl and fiberglass, while giving you the warmth of real wood inside.
