Ontario Window Replacement provides professional clad-wood windows in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the West End of the Inland Empire. Clad-wood is the only window we sell for a reason that is not technical. You buy it because you want wood on the inside of the room, and everything else about the product is engineering built to make that survivable outdoors.
The construction is a wood sash and frame with an exterior skin, and the skin is where the money goes. Extruded aluminum cladding with a fluoropolymer finish to the AAMA 2605 specification is the durable version. Roll-formed cladding with a lighter finish is the version that chalks on a south wall in about a decade. Both get called clad-wood on a quote. We name the specification instead.
In Ontario the case for it is narrow and real. Pre-war houses in the older parts of the region have interior casings, aprons and stools that a vinyl frame simply cannot meet without looking wrong, and a stained interior in a 1920s bungalow is worth protecting. Chino Hills does not need this window. Downtown Pomona sometimes does.
Commercially, clad-wood turns up in one place: hospitality and restaurant interiors where the design is doing the talking. A wine bar or a converted packing house wants the wood reveal, and there are systems rated for that use. It is not storefront, it will not take an entrance door, and it needs a specification review before anyone orders, because the fire and safety glazing requirements in a public occupancy are stricter than in a dwelling.
Cost is the highest of any residential window we install, and maintenance is not zero. The interior wood needs finishing and refinishing on a schedule that a homeowner has to actually keep. If nobody in the house is going to do that, buy fiberglass with a factory finish and be happier for it. We have talked more than one person out of this product at the kitchen table.
The failure mode worth knowing is water at the sill, not sun on the cladding. Clad-wood dies from the bottom up when flashing was wrong or when a sprinkler head has been hitting the wall for years. Before we quote replacement on an existing clad unit we look for the cause, because installing the same window into the same unresolved detail buys you the same failure on a delay.
Installation is full-frame almost every time. These are not retrofit inserts and forcing them into a retrofit application wastes the product. That means stucco cutting, new flashing, a properly sloped sill pan, and interior trim work afterward, all of which is on the estimate as its own line so you can see what the window costs versus what the opening costs.
The warranty distinction here is sharper than on any other product. Residential clad-wood terms are long and generous. The same manufacturer's commercial terms are shorter and often exclude the interior wood finish entirely on the grounds that a business cannot be relied on to maintain it. That is a reasonable position and it is also one you should read before signing.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 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, aluminum entrance doors with the 10 inch ADA bottom rail, offset pivots, top jamb closers and concealed vertical rod exit devices — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ontario and nearby communities including Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Upland.

Materials, equipment and how we do clad-wood windows
The difference between clad-wood windows that lasts and clad-wood windows 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.
