Thanks for the review. Although we rarely work on wooden doors, yours was the type that allowed it to be cut to accept a door insert.
Most wooden doors cannot be safely cut without risking the possibility of warping or loss of integrity. Glad we could do yours though!

Front door insert

I was looking for a new door and came across this company that used my existing door. I was able to cut and insert a brand new wrought iron glass pane. They were quick and precise and I'm very happy with my door.

Glass Inserts for Front Door

I reached out to Barry looking to upgrade my existing front door with decorative glass inserts. He was able to provide a quote based on pictures. I chose the "Moderna" design as I wanted something that provides privacy but also lets in natural light. On the day of install, Barry arrived on schedule and provided quick service. I'm so grateful for his attention to detail and professionalism. He very politely suggested that we could upgrade the trim to black at the same time and I agreed that it would look much better. The result is absolutely stunning! Highly recommended.

Excellent company

What a wonderful company!
From the moment we decided to get full length inserts, Barry and his team were helpful, efficient and customer friendly.
Barry answered my (many) emails promptly and offered his advice and next steps, always making me feel knowledgable on the subject.
We had our inserts installed today and could not be happier! The job was done in a timely manner, including a clean up and taking the old inserts away.
Our doors needed to be altered in order to fit the inserts - this was done on-site without issue.

Whatapane is a fabulous company to deal with. Friendly, knowledgable and with very reasonable prices. They deal with customers in a very postiive manner and go out of their way to make the experience go well.

I highly recommend this company to anyone looking. A very postiive experience :)

Excellent to work with

Got What A Pane Inc. from a reference, they were wonderful to work with from the first phone call. Spoke with Barry, he was very informative. Guided me on the selection and explained the process.

Completed the work within the promised timeline, had an issue with the new door hardware not fitting correctly on the day of the install, they put the old handles back and came back next day as promised to install the new door handles (On a Sunday).

Could not be happier. Highly recommend these folks. I have referred them already to family and friends.

Faraz, Yes sometimes the spacing between latch and deadbolt does not allow a one piece handle-set, Glad we could remedy the set-back in a timely manner.
Thanks for the future referalls.

New Window Panes for Front Doors and Patio Doors

The sale of your home can present a lot of difficult decisions: should you sell the house "as is" or make necessary changes in order to appeal to a wider group of buyers. What A Pane allows you to rehab old doors with brand new glass inserts and some paint. Barry and team are extremely knowledgeable and patient with my many questions and ultimately helped me pick a stained glass insert that has been the talk of the neighbourhood!! The work on my double front door was so great that 8 months later I used What a Pane to rehab my 2 sets of old French doors to my back patio. Thanks What a Pane for present a great alternative to 20K for brand new doors!!
