What Affects the Final Price?
Several factors change the exact price you'll pay:

- Material: Steel is cheapest; aluminum, wood, and composite cost more.
- Insulation R-value: Higher R-value = more materials = higher cost, but lower long-term energy bills.
- Design & windows: Decorative windows, carriage handles, and custom colors add cost.
- Old door removal & disposal: Usually included in the quote.
- Custom sizes: Non-standard openings need custom-fabricated doors — expect 20-40% more.
How to Avoid Overpaying
Here's how Ottawa homeowners protect themselves from overpriced quotes:
- Get 2-3 written quotes. Never accept a verbal price.
- Ask about warranty coverage — a good installer offers 3-5 years on parts and labour.
- Confirm what's included. Some quotes exclude removal, disposal, or hardware upgrades.
- Check reviews. Look for local companies with 100+ verified Google reviews and consistent 5-star ratings.
- Beware of low-priced service call scams. Some companies bait with a low fee then upsell aggressively.
