Scarborough is a diverse and vibrant district in eastern Toronto, home to the stunning Scarborough Bluffs and a rich tapestry of multicultural neighbourhoods. From post-war bungalows to modern townhome developments, Scarborough offers a wide range of housing at accessible price points.
Scarborough's eastern location in the GTA brings exposure to cold winds off Lake Ontario and can experience slightly colder temperatures than downtown Toronto, making energy-efficient windows an important upgrade for comfort.
Scarborough's extensive stock of 1950s-70s era homes means many properties have windows that are long overdue for replacement. Original aluminum and wood-frame windows common in these homes are significant energy wasters, and modern vinyl replacements can reduce heating costs while improving security and aesthetics.

Our Scarborough bungalow was built in 1962 with the original windows still intact. Panes replaced every window and sliding door, and our home feels like new. The noise from Kingston Road has practically disappeared. — Wei L., Birch Cliff
