A standard handle and deadbolt installation takes 30-60 minutes per door. Smart lock installation takes 45-90 minutes including setup and testing. RenoHouse can upgrade hardware on multiple doors in a single visit.

We recommend ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts for maximum security — they withstand the most force. Brands like Schlage B60N and Medeco offer excellent protection. For convenience plus security, smart deadbolts with auto-lock features are increasingly popular in Ajax homes.

Yes, RenoHouse installs weatherstripping on all exterior doors to seal gaps and prevent drafts. We use door sweeps, V-strip, foam tape, and door shoe systems tailored to your specific door and gap situation. This service is especially valuable for Ajax's cold winters.

Yes, we can rekey multiple locks to work with a single key. This is a popular service for new homeowners in the GTA who want one key for all exterior doors. Rekeying is more affordable than replacing all locks.

Matte black and brushed brass finishes are currently the most popular in Ajax homes. Lever-style handles are preferred over knobs for accessibility. Smart locks with keypads are increasingly common for front doors, offering keyless convenience.

Yes, RenoHouse replaces worn, squeaky, or damaged door hinges. We install standard, spring-loaded, and heavy-duty hinges. Upgrading to security hinges with non-removable pins is recommended for exterior doors in the GTA.

Builder-grade windows often meet minimum code requirements but lack premium features like triple-pane glass, argon gas fill, and superior weatherstripping. Upgrading improves energy efficiency by 20–30%, reduces outside noise, and enhances curb appeal — a smart investment that pays for itself through lower energy bills.

Even in homes 10–15 years old, builder-grade windows may show signs of seal failure (fog between panes), drafts, or difficult operation. If you notice condensation between glass panes, increased energy bills, or difficulty opening/closing, it's time for professional assessment.

Modern fiberglass and steel entry doors with sidelights are the most popular choice for newer suburban homes. They offer superior insulation (R-value 6–8 vs. R-2 for older doors), excellent security, and contemporary styles that dramatically improve curb appeal.
