I had a chance encounter with Katy Johnson, their Creative Marketing Manager. she subsequently came through our home to inspect the finished job and do a photo shoot.

The Ruddells

"We recently purchased new windows and sliders for our home on Quadra Island from Complete Windows in Parksville, BC. Danny Walters helped immensely during the design and installation process. We were greatly impressed by Complete Windows’s installation crew. They were extremely competent and professional installers. It may seem small but to us, their attention to making sure the area was clean and free of debris before and after the installation was impressive. They used drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect our flooring and furniture from any possible damage. Thank you Complete Windows!"- The Ruddells

Dawn & Kevin

We recently used Complete Windows to extend two windows in our living room from 3 x 2 to 3 x 7. Dan did meticulous work although we did experience a few hiccups (one do to the fact that we did not think there was any electrical in the wall, which was our fault). Everyone at Complete Windows was professional and friendly and the few hiccups we did experience were taking care of. At the end of the day we would not think twice about recommending them and would use them again in a minute!"- Dawn & Kevin, Qualicum Beach

How It All Started

Complete Windows began as a home-based business founded by Wayne Bowles. With an appetite for challenging residential and commercial construction projects, Wayne always had an obsession for the building industry. He developed an expertise in building codes, “House as a System” technology, and certification in building envelopes, which are the key to energy efficiency and climate control. Complete Windows has grown to be one of Vancouver Island’s superior window showrooms, a first-rate installer and an exclusive dealer for several top window manufacturers.

FAQ'S

When selecting new windows for your home, it's important to consider factors like energy efficiency, the material of the window frames (vinyl, wood, aluminum, etc.), the style that complements your home's architecture, and glass or glazing options for added benefits such as noise reduction and UV protection. For new construction, you must also consider the Building Step Code or local building codes that apply to your area. These codes often mandate specific energy performance standards to ensure that new constructions meet current energy efficiency goals.

This means selecting windows that comply with these standards in terms of insulation, solar heat gain, and overall thermal performance. Look for ENERGY STAR-rated windows that meet or exceed local codes. Understanding these requirements early in the planning stage can help streamline the process and ensure your new home is both compliant and energy-efficient, leading to long-term savings and a smaller environmental footprint. Additionally, consult with your architect or builder about any specific code requirements for windows in your region, as these can vary and may influence your choices in terms of materials, designs, and technologies used.
The duration of the installation process can vary depending on the number of windows being installed, the type of windows, and the complexity of the installation along with the type of siding on your home. A single window installation can take about 30 minutes to an hour, while replacing all windows in a home may take a full week. Factors such as weather conditions and structural challenges can also affect the timeline.
Yes, installing new, energy-efficient windows can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs by minimizing air leakage and improving thermal performance. Look for windows with a low U-factor (rate of heat loss) for better insulation and a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) to reduce heat gain in warmer climates.
It is generally recommended to be present during the installation for any questions that may arise and to ensure the project goes as planned. However, arrangements can often be made with the installation team if you cannot be home, as long as there is access to the work area and a way to secure the home afterwards.
