1st Choice Home Solutions Window Collection
Wardco & Window Seal Picture, Casement & Awning Window Vinyl Series
With a turn crank and hinges at both bottom and top, casement windows are ideal for locations where wind direction is parallel to the window. The 90 degree turnout offers an opportunity to redirect air into your home. A casement window installation is also an opportunity for energy savings as they create a more air tight seal than sliding versions.
Awning style windows are ideal to keep out inclement weather and increase privacy. This style is often found above other windows, above doorways, in bathrooms and on windows at ground level. An awning window installation also offers a more airtight seal than sliding windows.
Our picture windows feature a non-opening pane, optimal for picturesque views. If you’re looking for the most energy efficient window, a picture window offers the most air tight seal as there are no moving parts.

Have Questions?
We've Got Answers!
You’re not alone. Many people just like you want to know exactly what to expect and how 1st Choice Home Solutions can help.
What time of Year is the Best to replace windows?
The late spring or early summer or mid to late fall are great times to replace windows since your home won't lose a lot of cold air or heat while the windows are being taken out. Replacing windows can also stir up insect activity around the home's exterior so spring is especially great since they won't be as active. To get your window replacement within these times we'd recommend contacting contractors 10-12 weeks before hand so there is plenty of time for the second confirmation measure and for the manufacturer to build your windows.
how much does an egress window cost?
An egress window is legally required in basement rooms in which someone is living. They are usually loated in basement bedrooms. Some involve enlarging an already exisiting window to meet size requirements for an egress or cutting a new hole for a window altogether. Pricing for enlarging an already existing window is around $1500 and covers both the new window and the window installation. Cutting concrete requires the use of a special type of saw and egress windows requiring this will be around $2500. Please note these prices are guidelines only and don't represent formal quotes and were updated in June 2022.
Do you replace skylights?
In our 25+ years of experience when skylights are replaced by themselves they have a very high chance of creating problems with a roof. 1st Choice Home Solutions only replaces or adds skylights or sun tunnels when replacing the entire roof to help homeowners avoid future problems with leaking.
Why Shouldn't I get the cheaper quote?
There are 2 places contractors can cut corners on: materials or labour. A cheaper quote means compromising quality on one & often both such as no paint guarantees for metal & steel roofing, exposed fasteners or less skilled labour who don't do a thorough job.
Do you Do Repairs?
We guarantee the workmanship of all our projects, but we do not do repairs separate from our projects.
