Service
City Permits Across Ontario
We handle the drawings, application and inspection scheduling for window and door projects that need a municipal permit.
Why It Matters
The line isn't the product — it's whether the wall changes.
Most window and door replacements don't need a permit. The moment the opening itself changes, they usually do. Cutting a foundation for an egress window, converting a window into a patio door, or resizing an opening to fit a larger unit is structural work — and municipalities routinely want drawings, a permit, and inspections at framing and completion. Where permit coordination is part of your project scope, we take that piece off the homeowner's plate: scope, drawings, application, inspection scheduling and final sign-off. Under the Building Code, prescribed inspection notices are the permit holder's obligation (Div. C, 1.3.5.1), so who files and books what is agreed per project before work starts — and final requirements are always confirmed with the local building department.
- Scope reviewed on the assessment — you're told up front whether a permit applies
- Drawings and, where required, engineered structural documents prepared
- Application submitted and managed on the homeowner's behalf
- Permit fees are itemized and included in your quote
- Framing, insulation and final inspections scheduled with the city
- Closed permit and paperwork handed back to you at project close
What The Job Includes
Drawings to sign-off, filed under our name.
Permits get treated as part of the install, not a separate errand. That's how the framing crew, the inspector and the final finish line up in one continuous timeline instead of stalling in the middle.
Scope review up front
On the assessment we identify whether the project needs a permit — most like-for-like replacements don't; structural cuts, egress and larger resizing do.
Drawings & engineering
Elevations, sections and, where the municipality requires it, engineered structural drawings prepared as part of the application.
Application filed for you
Application submitted and managed on the homeowner's behalf. Permit fees are itemized and included in your quote.
Coordinated with the install crew
The permit timeline is aligned with the install schedule so the crew isn't standing around waiting for city sign-off.
Inspection scheduling
We book the framing, insulation and final inspections with the city so you're not chasing an inspector.
Sign-off delivered to you
Once the final inspection passes, the closed permit and paperwork are handed back to you — clean file for future sale or refinance.
