Window Replacement for Every Kind of Markham Home
Markham is one of the most varied places in the GTA to replace a window. The same city holds a heritage house on Main Street Unionville, a 2000s townhome in Cornell and a large custom home near Angus Glen, and they do not need the same window. A good replacement starts by working out which one you have.
Eurostar Windows & Doors brings 30+ years of European-style window experience to Markham, with a 5.0 rating from 60+ verified reviews on Google and HomeStars. Our Toronto-area office in Concord is a short drive west along Highway 7. Our replacement windows in Markham are built to measure and installed by our own process, from consultation to final walkthrough. For the full range including doors, see windows and doors in Markham.
Markham's Heritage Districts
Markham has four Heritage Conservation Districts: Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill and Buttonville. Exterior changes in those districts, including new windows, can need a heritage permit from the City, and the guidelines often favour styles and proportions in keeping with the building. Check with the City's heritage staff before you order. A window that looks fine in a catalogue may not be acceptable on a street-facing wall.
For these homes we focus on matching what makes the original windows work visually: sash proportions, grille patterns and exterior colour. Single and double hung windows are often the natural fit, while side or rear elevations may leave more room for modern styles. Our historic home window guide walks through the wider considerations.
Newer Subdivisions: When Builder Windows Reach Their Limit
Much of Markham was built from the 1980s onward, and many of those homes still have their first windows. At 20 years or more, builder-grade vinyl units tend to show their age in predictable ways:
| Area | Typical homes | Common upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Milliken, Unionville subdivisions | 1980s and 1990s two-storeys | Replacing failed sealed units and worn hardware, usually the whole house at once |
| Berczy Village, Greensborough, Wismer | 1990s to 2000s family homes | Moving to better Low-E glass, tighter-sealing casements and quieter rooms |
| Cornell, Box Grove | 2000s planned communities and townhomes | Comfort upgrades on larger windows, plus noise control near Highway 407 |
| Angus Glen, Cachet | Large executive and custom homes | Tall openings, high-end finishes, slimmer sightlines |
Common signs include fog between the panes, stiff or broken cranks, drafts around the sash and condensation that keeps coming back. If you are seeing several of these, it is usually time to compare a whole-home replacement against repeated repairs. Our condensation guide can help you separate a window problem from a humidity problem.
High-End Windows for Markham's Custom Homes
In larger homes, the challenge is usually scale. Two-storey foyers, tall family rooms and big rear elevations put a lot of weight on a sash and a lot of glass against the cold. Thermally broken aluminum handles this well, and it lets you keep slim profiles that older vinyl units cannot match.
- Slim-frame windows keep the visible frame narrow, including floor-to-ceiling application
- Tilt-and-turn windows make tall upper-floor glass cleanable from inside, with glazing up to 63 mm in our aluminum lin
- Two-colour finishes let you run a different colour inside and out, so the windows suit both the facade and the interior design.
- Security options on our aluminum systems run from RC1 to RC4, with concealed multi-point hardware available.
Highway Noise and Winter Comfort
Highways 404 and 407, Highway 7 and the Stouffville GO line all run through Markham, and homes backing onto them often notice noise before they notice anything else. Acoustic laminated glass with a tight-sealing operating style makes a real difference. See our soundproof windows page for how we approach it.
For comfort, the goal is warmer interior glass. Low-E coatings, argon fill and, where it makes sense, triple glazing reduce the cold-window effect you feel when sitting close to the glass in January. We will show you where the upgrade earns its cost and where a good double-glazed unit is enough.
Window Styles We Install in Markham
- Casement.** Our dedicated Markham casement page covers this popular, tight-sealing style.

- Awning.** Good for basements and bathrooms, and for pairing with fixed glass.
- Slider and hung.** Familiar, simple to use and well suited to traditional facades.

What Replacement Windows Cost in Markham
As a general 2026 guide for supplied-and-installed windows in Markham:
| Window type | Typical installed range (per window) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard vinyl double-glazed | $650 – $950 | Budget replacements, sheltered openings |
| Energy Star casement / awning | $900 – $1,400 | Efficiency, tight seal, ventilation |
| European tilt-and-turn (triple) | $1,200 – $1,900 | Best comfort, quiet and winter warmth |
A typical 10–15 window home commonly falls between $12,000 and $24,000, and large custom homes can run well above that. Full-frame installation costs more than a retrofit insert but lets us air-seal the whole opening. We provide a free, itemized in-home quote, so you can compare companies on the same scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do replacement windows cost in Markham?
Most Markham homeowners invest roughly $650 to $1,900 per window installed, depending on style, glass and frame. A typical 10 to 15 window home commonly runs $12,000 to $24,000, and large custom homes can cost more. Eurostar provides a free, itemized quote.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Unionville?
Possibly. Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill and Buttonville are Heritage Conservation Districts, and exterior changes there can need a heritage permit. Confirm the requirements with the City of Markham before ordering.
What are the best high-end windows for a Markham home?
For large custom homes, thermally broken aluminum tilt-and-turn and slim-frame windows are strong choices. They carry large glass with slim profiles and accept triple glazing, with options for two-colour finishes and concealed hardware.
How long does window installation take in Markham?
A typical Markham home of 8 to 12 windows is usually completed in one to three days after custom manufacturing. Larger homes and heritage work can take longer. Your quote will include a realistic schedule.
Can you reduce noise from Highway 407 or Highway 404?
Yes. Acoustic laminated glass in a tight-sealing casement or tilt-and-turn window can noticeably reduce road noise. We will look at which rooms are affected and where the upgrade is worth it.
Do you also replace doors in Markham?
Yes. We supply and install patio, French, entry, bifold and lift-and-slide doors in Markham. Replacing windows and doors together can simplify scheduling and keep finishes consistent.
