Lakeshore Windows And Doors FAQ
Q. Are your products Energy Star Rated?

Q. What's the difference between complete tear out and retrofit?
A. COMPLETE TEAR OUT refers to removing everything down to the studs starting from scratch - BENEFIT: the better method of installation and maintain viewing area. DOWNFALL: more product, more materials, more labour = more money
A. RETROFIT refers to removal of operating sashes, inserting a window into existing window frames - BENEFIT: less money. DOWNFALL: any air filtration behind an old frame con not be eliminated. Remember you are putting a window inside a window so you also loose viewing area.
Q. How long for delivery?
A. 6-8 weeks, the products are normally in our shop within 3-4 weeks, on average our installation has a 6 week turn around time frame. The few weeks that the windows sit in our shop allows us to do a full inspection of the product or any custom work required to it, if we find even the smallest defect we can have replacement product sent to us while still meeting our installation schedules. If a company tells you they can do it in alot quicker timeframe there is usually a reason for that... they are not busy and probably do not maintain enough consistent work. Busy companies are busy for a reason.
Q. Do you take the old windows away?
A. Not only do we take them away, all flooring is protected, drop sheets are put inside and out to catch all debris and normally the only work required by the customer is a quick vacuum and dusting.
Q. Do you offer free estimates?
A.Yes, we offer free quotations. We prefer the word quotation because it is an exact price and there will never be hidden costs or mark-ups when you prepare to sign the contract.
