Verdun Windows and Doors has spent more than 40 years redefining what local craftsmanship means for homeowners in Ottawa and the surrounding region. With every window crafted right in their Ottawa-based facility, the company remains committed to offering high-performance products tailored to the Canadian climate—without compromising on aesthetics or durability.
Unlike many competitors that rely on overseas production or external suppliers, Verdun’s windows are made locally using advanced materials and precision-engineered techniques. This ensures quality control at every step and supports the regional economy by creating local jobs and shortening supply chains.
What truly sets Verdun apart is its full-service model. Every window is manufactured, delivered, and installed under one trusted name. From design to clean-up, customers deal only with Verdun. Their highly trained installation crews—regarded as some of the best in the city—bring years of experience to every project. These professionals treat each home with the care and precision it deserves, ensuring each window is installed to perform and last.
This localized and tightly integrated approach not only enhances product quality but also elevates the customer experience. Homeowners enjoy quicker turnaround times, consistent communication, and a smooth, stress-free process from beginning to end.
With deep roots in Ottawa and a steadfast commitment to superior service, Verdun Windows and Doors continues to prove that the best solutions don’t come from far away—they’re built right here at home.
What has kept Verdun Windows and Doors going strong for over 40 years?
At Verdun Windows and Doors, longevity has always been rooted in consistency, quality, and community trust. From the beginning, we’ve focused on serving the Ottawa region with products and services we can truly stand behind. Homeowners trust us because we don’t cut corners. We manufacture our windows right here in the Ottawa area, which allows us to oversee quality at every step. Our commitment to local craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and personalized service means customers receive a tailored experience—every single time. It’s not just about windows or doors; it’s about being a part of the homes and lives of the people in our community.
Can you explain why local manufacturing is such a core part of your business model?
Manufacturing locally in the Ottawa area allows us to maintain complete control over the quality of our windows while supporting our regional economy. It significantly shortens the supply chain, which improves turnaround times and ensures that our customers get a consistent product every time. We’re not relying on third-party manufacturers overseas—we’re accountable for every window we make. That makes a difference in terms of quality, customer service, and sustainability. Additionally, by creating jobs locally, we’re not just building products; we’re building trust and community relationships that last.
How does your installation process differ from other companies in the region?
One of the biggest advantages is our in-house crews—some of the best in the city—are trained to install our products to our exact standards. This ensures that our windows and doors not only look beautiful but also perform optimally for years. Our installers take immense pride in their work. They treat every home as if it were their own. From cleanliness to communication to craftsmanship, the customer experience is as seamless as the installation itself. That’s something we’re very proud of.
What types of entry doors does Verdun Windows and Doors offer?
We offer a wide range of steel and fiberglass entry doors, custom-built to reflect each homeowner’s preferences and the style of their home. These entryways are not just doors; they’re statement pieces that enhance curb appeal and deliver long-term performance. Customers can choose from an array of colors, finishes, decorative glass options, hardware, and configurations. Whether someone is looking for a classic, contemporary, or modern aesthetic, we work closely with them to bring their vision to life. Our doors also offer superior energy efficiency and security, making them as functional as they are beautiful.
And what about patio doors—what makes yours stand out?
Our energy-efficient patio doors are designed for the Canadian climate. They’re built to provide excellent insulation, reduce energy loss, and operate smoothly for years to come. Customers often tell us how much they love the amount of natural light and comfort these doors bring into their homes. We offer different styles—from classic sliding doors to more modern configurations—all customizable in terms of finish and hardware. What sets ours apart is not just the quality of the product but also the installation. Every door is installed with care and precision by our expert crews to ensure long-lasting performance.
Let’s talk about your warranty—what makes it exceptional in the industry?
We stand behind every window and door we sell and install, which is why our warranty is one of the best in the business. We offer a comprehensive, transferable warranty that covers not only the product but also the installation. Homeowners can feel confident knowing that if there’s ever an issue, we’ll be there to make it right—no jumping through hoops. It’s our way of showing customers that we’re here for the long haul. A strong warranty reflects our confidence in our craftsmanship and our commitment to keeping our customers satisfied for years to come.
How does Verdun approach customer service, from consultation to final installation?
Customer service is at the core of everything we do. From the first consultation to the final cleanup, homeowners interact only with Verdun representatives. There are no handoffs, no confusion—just a clear, dedicated process. Our consultants take time to understand each customer’s needs, offering recommendations tailored to their home and lifestyle. Our crews show up on time, treat the home respectfully, and clean up thoroughly after the job. And even after the job is done, we remain available for support. It’s this full-service model that makes the process smooth, stress-free, and genuinely satisfying for our clients.
What role does sustainability play in your work?
Sustainability is important to us on multiple levels. First, by manufacturing locally, we reduce emissions associated with transportation and minimize waste by optimizing our production process. Second, our windows and doors are designed to be energy efficient, which helps homeowners reduce their heating and cooling costs. That’s not just good for the environment—it’s good for the wallet, too. We also continually explore ways to improve our materials and manufacturing practices to reduce our environmental impact. Our belief is that companies have a responsibility to build better—not just for today, but for the future.
What trends are you seeing in what homeowners are asking for today?
Homeowners today are very informed and design-conscious. Many are looking for products that combine aesthetics with energy efficiency and durability. We’re seeing increased demand for black or darker window frames, oversized patio doors for indoor-outdoor living, and more contemporary entry door designs. Customization is also a huge trend—people want their windows and doors to reflect their personal style. At Verdun, we’re well-positioned to deliver on that because of our manufacturing flexibility and expert design consultations. Customers know they don’t have to compromise between style and performance—and that’s a major part of our appeal.
How would you sum up Verdun’s promise to homeowners?
Our promise is simple but powerful: we deliver quality you can see and performance you can trust. Whether it’s a new window, a customized entryway, or an energy-efficient patio door, we handle every detail from start to finish. Homeowners choose Verdun Windows and Doors because they want peace of mind—they want a company that takes pride in its work, respects their home, and delivers lasting value. For over four decades, we’ve kept that promise to thousands of families across Ottawa and the surrounding region. And we’ll continue to do so for generations to come.
