Ontario Window Replacement provides professional aluminum window replacement in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the West End of the Inland Empire. Most people searching for aluminum windows in Ontario are not shopping for them. They are trying to name the frames they already have, usually because a slider has stopped sliding. Start there.
The tell is the sightline. A narrow silver frame, often a plain mill finish with no paint on it, one fixed lite and one that slides in a track, and a thin metal rail you can wrap two fingers around. That window went in between the sixties and the eighties, and in this city's older west-end neighborhoods it is frequently still the original.
Why the residential market walked away from it is thermal bridging. Aluminum moves heat about as readily as it carries load, so an unbroken frame hands the outdoor temperature straight to the inside face. Upgrade the glass and the metal is still the warm path.
What tells you which problem you have is the surface the water sits on. Moisture on the glass is a glass problem. Moisture on the metal, a wet rail or a puddle standing on the sill, is the frame conducting, and no coating or gas fill will change that. Fix the frame or live with the water.
Thermally broken aluminum answers it, and it is a different product. A non-conductive barrier is set between the inside and outside extrusions during fabrication, so the continuous metal path is cut and the two halves are joined through a material that resists heat flow. It is engineered rather than simply rolled, and it is priced that way.
Treat any claim that aluminum is barred by California's energy code as a sales line. The rated performance belongs to the assembled unit, and the NFRC label on it is what the inspector and the compliance form read. Frame material is not the thing being judged.
Aluminum still has a right answer attached to it, and it is about span and use. Ontario runs on warehousing, retail and light industry, and the glass at the front of those buildings is aluminum for sound reasons: long runs of framing, doors used a thousand times a week, and a finish that survives the traffic. That work sits on our storefront page, not this one.
Permits are the city's call, so take your actual scope to Ontario's building department rather than a bidder. Enlarging an opening or changing how a window operates moves the answer, and the energy paperwork brackets a permitted job at both ends. The Title 24 figures live on our energy-efficient window page.
So the recommendation. If you have single-glazed aluminum with no break, replacing the unit is worth doing and the frame is the reason rather than the glass. Do not spend money putting aluminum back into an ordinary bedroom opening, because that is a premium paid to reintroduce the problem you are removing. On a wide span, a shop front or an elevation where frame strength decides, ask for thermally broken aluminum and read the label.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum window replacement
The difference between aluminum window replacement that lasts and aluminum window replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with center-set aluminum storefront framing in 1-3/4 by 4-1/2 inch profiles, dry-glazed EPDM gaskets and wet-glazed structural silicone joints, subsill flashing with end dams under storefront base members, tempered and heat-strengthened lites carrying CPSC 16 CFR 1201 labels, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Ontario job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the West End of the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Ontario Chooses Ontario Window Replacement
- ✓Two estimating methods, and the quote says which one you are reading. Residential is per opening. Commercial is glazed square foot plus framing linear foot, with the after-hours premium shown on its own line instead of buried in a unit price.
- ✓We hold the CSLB C-17 glazing classification, the one that covers commercial glass. A great deal of residential window work in this region is sold by outfits that cannot legally glaze your storefront, and they rarely volunteer that.
- ✓Warranty documents are never merged. A house gets the manufacturer's residential terms. A commercial opening gets the commercial terms, which are shorter, and we would rather explain why now than have you find out in year eleven.
- ✓Permit path stated before you sign. Residential retrofit is usually over the counter. Commercial can mean plan check, an accessibility review of the path of travel, and an inspection sequence that quietly decides your schedule.
