Thermos replacement in Saint-Léonard

Much of Saint-Léonard was built in the 1960s and 1970s, which gives it a fairly consistent look: brick duplexes and triplexes, bungalows and small apartment buildings, often with a half-basement flat. Sliding and casement windows dominate, with patio doors opening onto backyards and balconies out front, especially around Jean-Talon Street and along Lacordaire and Langelier boulevards, where similar buildings line block after block.

Half-basement windows sit almost at ground level, where they get snow, runoff and moisture from the soil, so their thermos units can fog up before the ones upstairs. Units put in during earlier renovations are also reaching the end of their life. We replace them with double glazing, argon and Low-E, and build back patio door units in tempered glass.

In winter, clear the snow in front of half-basement windows before we arrive so outdoor access is safer. In a duplex, the upper flat is often reached by an outdoor staircase, and we plan the handling accordingly. Street parking is usually easy in residential areas. Whether you live in the building or rent it out, a single quote can cover several units at once.
