Egress Window

I purchased the egress window package from VEL, which includes the concrete cutting, window with installation, and new window well. In order to accommodate the width of the hole in my wall from the old window, I required a custom sized window (rather than the one included in their package). VEL was able to accommodate the custom window size without any extra cost! Kim was always quick to respond to any questions I had and the crew doing our install was very polite and efficient. They even hauled away some extra dirt in our alley that was left over from one of my previous yard projects!

Basement Egress window and replacement of old windows

We had VEL replace two very old basement windows as well as install a new egress window. Their quote was very competitive but what made us choose them is that they discovered that changes to our furnace required that we have fixed windows installed rather than ones that open. No other company picked up on this. They were able to fit us in relatively quickly and we are very happy with the new windows!

Shower glass install

I hired Vel Windows and Glass to install a frameless glass enclosure for a new basement shower. They were a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. Kim provided me with a competitive quote and was extremely responsive throughout the process. Aaron and Austin did a great job with the install. I would highly recommend them.

Basement Egress Window

VEL did an excellent job digging, cutting, and installing a new egress window in our basement. They were competitively priced and Kim was very helpful in providing all the information I needed, which ultimately made me feel comfortable that they were the right pick. They were flexible and accommodating in scheduling the work and the folks who did the work exceeded my expectations. Very smooth experience overall, highly recommended.

Bathroom Shower Glass Installation

I found VEL via Kijiji. Kimberly Johnston at VEL is a very pleasant and professional individual that I spoke with and made all the arrangements. Kimberley tailored the requirements within a specified budget without compromising on quality. The service was excellent and the price reasonable. Installation was punctual and carried out by a very friendly and experienced team. I would highly recommend VEL for all your future glass needs. I will use VEL again.

Basement window cut

Kim was very helpful from the beginning. She provided assistance when it came to getting the permit for the window and she responded quickly to any emails and questions that I had. The workers left the work site in the same condition they found it. They cleaned up inside the house as well. When they had a question about how something was to be done, they took the time to call me. After the project was complete, Kim called to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. A great company. i would get them again!

Glass in indoor transoms

Contacted Vel Windows through Homestars. They responded in less than an hour with a phone call. Had a guy do a quote in less than three days. Gave me three options for glass. Were competitively priced. Installed the glass (25 windows) in less than three hours. Good service, good price, good people. I highly recommend.

Windows glass replacement

We had 3 sealed units replaced in September 2016 (one large family room window and two smaller ones). Everybody at VEL from the very first phone call to the completion of the job and follow up was very nice, professional and efficient. The 3 units were replaced in less than 2 hours and the job was perfect. I highly recommend this company and we will undoubtedly work with VEL again whenever we need windows or glass replacement in our home.
