Mississauga windows & glassGlass, windows and doors for Mississauga's towers, townhouses and lakeshore homes
First question: what kind of building is it? In a tower suite, the window and balcony door usually belong to the condo corporation, so the management office comes first. In a house or freehold townhouse, the choice is yours. In the two heritage villages, a district plan sets the rules. Tell us which, and we connect you with an independent local pro who does that kind of job.
Services by problem
Services by problem: windows, balcony doors, screens, showers, mirrors and storefronts
Say it in plain words: foggy, broken, won't lock, won't slide, torn screen. You don't need the name of the part. The pro we match you with confirms it on site.
Part or whole window
New part, new glass or new window? How the pro you're matched with decides
The pro looks at the frame first. If it's sound, the failed part is often the whole problem: a sealed unit for fog, rollers for a door that drags. If the frame is soft or leaking, or several units have failed, a new window or door makes more sense. In a condo, ask the management office first.
- Replace the part
- A roller, lock, crank operator or weatherstrip. The glass and frame stay.
- Replace the glass
- A new sealed unit made to size for the existing frame. Suits fog or a crack in a sound window.
- Replace the unit
- A whole new window or door. A same-size swap needs no City building permit; condo and heritage approvals still apply.
A photo of the whole door, plus one of the glass edge, helps the pro tell a part from a whole unit.
Before and after comparison
Condo suites
Towers and townhouses: why condo glass starts with the board, not the installer
A large share of Mississauga households live in buildings of five storeys or more. In most Ontario condos the windows are common elements: the corporation looks after them, and an owner's change needs board approval first. We have nothing to sell, so we have no reason to skip that step.
Check who owns the glass
The declaration says whether the window and balcony door are yours or the corporation's. The management office can tell you before anyone books a visit.
Approval before the quote
Boards usually want the colour, style and grilles to match the building. The pro can supply the details the board asks for.
Small suite jobs are real jobs
A balcony door that won't lock, a torn screen, a crank that slips. Ask the office whether it's yours to fix, then send it.
Townhouses can be condos too
Some townhouses belong to a condo corporation and follow the same rules as a tower. If you pay condo fees, check first.
How it works
One request, matched to an independent Mississauga glass or window pro
It's free, and you don't have to hire anyone. The contract is between you and the pro.
Describe the problem and the building
Say what you see and what kind of building it's in: suite, townhouse or house. Add your postal code and a photo if you can.
Photos helpWe match it with a local pro
An independent window, door or glass professional who does that kind of job and works in your part of the city gets it.
We follow up so it doesn't go quiet
The pro gets in touch to ask questions and quote. We check that happened. If it didn't, tell us and we send the request to another pro.
No obligation
Sending from a suite?
A photo from inside the room is enough. Mention the floor and whether the pro may need to book a service elevator.
Houses by age
What the age of a house says about the job
The new towns around the lakes
Erin Mills and Meadowvale began as 1970s planned towns. Sealed units, cranks and patio rollers there are of an age to wear out together.
Foggy sealed unitsNewer semis and townhouses
Churchill Meadows was planned from the late 1980s. With younger frames, ask whether a roller, crank or screen is the only worn part.
Sliding door repairThe 1950s streets and wartime houses
Applewood began in the 1950s; Malton keeps a cluster of wartime houses. A pro checks the frame and sill before quoting glass alone.
Window repairThe two heritage villages
Old Port Credit Village and Meadowvale Village (not the 1970s new town) ask owners to keep original wood windows where they can. Ask the City's heritage staff before changing one.

Areas served, from Malton to Lakeview
Requests go to pros who cover that address. The tower core around City Centre means suites, balcony doors and a management office; the 1970s new towns mean fogged units and worn cranks. For Oakville, we check that a pro covers your street first.
Questions
Questions Mississauga owners ask first
An independent local professional, not us. We're a free referral service: we pass your request to a window, door or glass pro who does that kind of job, then follow up. The pro measures, quotes and does the work, and your contract is with them. See how it works.
Ask the management office before anyone else. In most Ontario condos the window is a common element, so the corporation decides who replaces the sealed unit and who pays. If the office says it's yours, or the board approves your own pro, send the request and mention the approval. More for condo owners and boards.
It decides who approves the work. In a tower suite, the corporation usually owns the window and balcony door, so the management office comes first. A townhouse may be freehold or part of a condo corporation. A detached house or semi is the owner's call. In the two heritage villages, the district plan applies. The condo guide explains the condo side.
Often none from the City: it says a same-size window or door needs no building permit, though a new or bigger opening does, and zoning still applies. In a condo, the board approves first. In Meadowvale Village, work that follows the district plan needs a Clearance to Alter, and Old Port Credit Village has its own plan. See the heritage window guide.
Not from the City, as far as we know. Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program has offered rebates on full ENERGY STAR windows and doors, generally after a home energy assessment. A new sealed unit doesn't qualify, and there's no general federal window grant. Check the program's site first. More on replacement windows.
