Respecting Alexandria's brick streetscape
Walk the streets around Main Street and St. Finnan's Basilica and you will see solid brick houses with tall openings, some with arched or segmented heads. Those details are part of what gives Alexandria its character. A replacement window should improve comfort without flattening that look.
Because we manufacture in-house, we can build units to follow the shape and proportion of the original opening. Arched tops, tall narrow sashes and grille patterns can all be specified. The goal is a house that looks like itself, only warmer and quieter.
- Specialty shapes for arched or segmented brick openings
- Casement windows with slim profiles and grille options
- All window styles made to the exact size of each opening
Homes near the Mill Pond and the Garry River
The Mill Pond and the Garry River running through town give some Alexandria properties a view worth framing. Large fixed glass keeps sightlines open, while operable units on each side let in the breeze. A bay or bow window can also push a sitting area out toward the water.
Big glass needs good glass. Low-E coatings and argon fill help keep a wide window from turning into a cold wall in February. Triple glazing is available where you want the extra insulation.
- Picture windows for an unobstructed view of the water
- Bay and bow windows to add light and a window seat
- Awning windows under a large fixed pane for ventilation
Farmhouses and rural properties across Glengarry
Outside town, North Glengarry is mostly farmland dotted with older farmhouses, newer country homes and hamlets like Lochiel, Glen Robertson and Dalkeith. These houses often have several entrances used every day: a front door, a mudroom door and a door to the yard. Each one takes a beating from weather, boots and constant use.
Steel and fiberglass entry doors hold up well to that kind of traffic and insulate far better than an old wood slab. Garden doors and sliding patio doors are good choices for a back entrance that opens onto a deck or yard. We travel to rural addresses throughout the area for measurements and installs.
- Steel and fiberglass exterior doors for front and side entrances
- Patio and garden doors for the back of the house
- UPVC windows that stand up to dust and weather without painting
A town with Scottish roots and a francophone heart
Alexandria traces its name to Bishop Alexander Macdonell and the Highland settlers of Glengarry, and today the town is also home to a large French-speaking community. Our team works comfortably in both English and French. You choose the language, and we follow.
The process is the same for every customer: a free in-home measurement, a clear written estimate, production in our Saint-Laurent factory in Montréal and installation by our own crew. Financing is available for larger projects. There is no obligation after the estimate.

Alexandria Windows & Doors — FAQ
Can you match the arched top of the windows on my brick house?
Yes. We build specialty shapes in our own factory, including arched and segmented heads, sized to your actual openings. We take precise measurements and templates where needed during the in-home visit.
Do you come out to farms and rural addresses outside Alexandria?
We do. Our estimators and installers cover the town and the surrounding North Glengarry countryside, including the hamlets along the concession roads.
What kind of door works best for a busy farmhouse side entrance?
Steel and fiberglass doors are the usual recommendation for heavy daily use, since they resist denting and warping and insulate well. We will look at how the entrance is used and suggest glass, hardware and finish options that suit it.
Is financing available for a full window replacement in Alexandria?
Yes, financing is available. Ask about it when you book your free estimate and we will explain how it works for your project.
