Window types
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, offering a clear view and ventilation from an operable sash.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, making them a useful option for ventilation in a range of rooms.
Slider Windows
Slider windows open horizontally along a track, providing ventilation without a sash swinging into the room or outdoors.
Bay Windows
Bay windows combine angled window sections that project beyond the exterior wall, creating a distinct focal point and bringing light into the room.
Bow Windows
Bow windows bring several window sections together in a gentle outward curve, creating a broad view and an architectural feature.
Door types
Entry Doors
An entry door helps shape the appearance and function of your home’s entrance. Choose a design, glass and hardware suited to the opening.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors connect indoor and outdoor spaces with glass panels that move along a track rather than swinging into the room.
Hinged Patio Doors
Hinged patio doors swing open to connect a room to a patio or garden and can be considered in single- or paired-door configurations.

Local Housing Stock
Richmond homes and openings
Richmond's housing stock includes older character homes in Steveston and Steveston Village, established areas like South Arm and East Richmond, and newer developments near City Centre and the airport.

Common Local Problems
What we see in Richmond
Common Richmond window issues include moisture-related frame rot, seal failure from persistent dampness, and hardware corrosion from salt air. Exterior doors often face weatherstripping wear and threshold issues that affect comfort during wet seasons.
Seasonal Timing
When to plan your Richmond project
Spring through early autumn suits exterior sealing and finishing work in Richmond. Vancouver's wet seasons make exposed sealing work best scheduled for drier periods. Interior work can continue year-round with proper preparation.
