The entire journey from your initial call to project completion typically spans 8 to 12 weeks, though our experienced installation crews are famous for completing the physical replacement of your windows or doors in just a single day.
When you decide to upgrade your home, you aren’t just looking for a product; you’re looking for a professional experience that respects your time and your property. At EcoTech Windows & Doors, we’ve spent over two decades refining a “worry-free” 4-phase workflow. Because we are a manufacturer-direct company in Ontario, we provide a level of predictability that retail stores simply can’t match. We handle the engineering, the logistics, and the craftsmanship, ensuring that your transition to a more energy-efficient home is smooth, transparent, and surprisingly fast once the installers arrive.
The 4-Phase Journey to a Better Home
Our process is designed to be a collaborative effort. We don’t just sell you a window; we walk you through a customized plan that addresses your home’s specific architectural needs and your family’s budget.
Phase 1: Research & In-Home Consultation (1–2 Weeks)
It begins with a free, no-obligation estimate where a product specialist visits your home to assess your current situation.
We take precise measurements and showcase customization options like colors, hardware, and our Free Triple Pane Upgrade.
You receive a comprehensive quote on the spot, allowing you to make an informed decision without the wait.
Phase 2: Custom Manufacturing (4–8 Weeks)
Once confirmed, your order is sent to our local factory where your windows or doors are built to the exact millimeter.
This phase is the longest because we ensure every unit meets our rigorous EcoSmart energy standards and quality checks.
Phase 3: Scheduling (1–2 Weeks)
As soon as your custom products have a “ready date,” our office contacts you to find a day that works with your schedule.
We coordinate our factory-trained crews to ensure we have the right team size for your specific project.
Phase 4: Installation Day (1 Day)
For most medium-sized homes (10–15 windows), we finish the entire physical replacement in a single day.
Our crews arrive, protect your floors, install the new units, and perform a total cleanup before you’re even home from work.

What Happens on Installation Day?
We pride ourselves on being “the quietest part of your renovation.” Our installers are factory-trained specialists who understand that they aren’t just working on a house; they are working on your home.
Prep and Protection:
We start by covering your furniture and floors to ensure no dust or debris touches your personal belongings.
We remove old windows and doors one-at-a-time to keep your home’s internal temperature as stable as possible.
Technical Execution:
- New units are leveled, shimmed, and secured using heavy-duty fasteners for maximum structural integrity.
- We use high-expansion cold-weather foam and premium caulking to create a 100% airtight barrier against Ontario’s elements.
The Final Polish:
Once the windows are in, we install the interior casing and exterior capping for a beautiful, finished look.
We dispose of your old windows and debris, leaving your home exactly as we found it, just much more comfortable!

FAQs
1. How much time does the whole process take?
From the moment you book your free estimate to the final installation day, the total project usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks. The majority of this time is spent custom-manufacturing your windows to fit your home’s unique dimensions perfectly.
2. Does a full-house replacement really only take one day?
For most standard homes in Ontario, yes! At EcoTech, we adjust our crew sizes based on the number of windows. If you have 15 windows, we send a larger team to ensure the job is wrapped up in a single day, minimizing the disruption to your daily life.
3. Why does manufacturing take 4 to 8 weeks?
Since we don’t sell “off-the-shelf” sizes, every window is built from scratch. This includes custom frame welding, glass cutting, Argon gas filling, and curing times for specialized colors. This precision ensures your windows will last for 40+ years.
4. What if my installation is delayed by the weather?
While we can install in rain or snow, extreme weather like blizzards or high winds can pose a safety risk. If we have to reschedule, we prioritize your project for the very next available clear day to keep your timeline on track.
5. When do I have to pay for the project?
Payment typically begins once the installation and final cleanup are completed and you’ve signed off on the project during our final walkthrough. We also offer 0% financing for 24 months to help spread the cost out while you enjoy your new energy savings!
