Windows, Doors & Siding in Noelville
Quality Contracting provides honest, hometown exterior renovation services to Noëlville and the French River region. We’re a family-owned company founded in 1996 and led by Reg Piquette—celebrating 30 years of running his own business this January. Like many families in this community, Reg grew up in a francophone household right here in West Nipissing.
While our home base is in Verner, we’ve been servicing Noëlville, St. Charles, and Lavigne for nearly three decades. The Highway 64 corridor is part of our regular service route, and our crews have worked on hundreds of homes throughout the French River region—from small window replacements to complete exterior transformations.
We don’t believe in the “big-box” approach where contractors disappear after the job is done. We provide a Local Quality Standard: 30 years of expertise, premium materials from partners like Hometech and Royal Building Products, and workmanship from a crew that’s been with Reg for over two decades.
The Warranty That Sticks: Even after the product warranty runs out, we’re still in your corner. That’s local accountability you won’t get from the out-of-towners.
Protecting Noëlville Homes from Northern Ontario’s Elements
Noëlville sits in the heart of the French River region—a beautiful but demanding environment where rural properties face unique challenges. Out-of-town contractors don’t understand what these homes endure. We’ve been working in this community for nearly 30 years, and we know exactly what it takes to protect your home and your investment.
French River Humidity & Wind-Driven Moisture
Properties in the French River corridor face relentless humidity and wind-driven rain that pushes moisture into every gap and seam. Improperly installed siding traps moisture behind walls, leading to hidden rot, mould growth, and structural damage that’s invisible until it’s expensive. Standard window seals fail prematurely, fogging between panes and letting drafts through.
Our Solution:
We install Hometech windows with argon gas fill and superior seal technology—available in both double-pane and triple-pane configurations—designed to resist humidity-driven failure. As a Royal Preferred Contractor, we install siding with flashing underneath insulation boards to block moisture and insect infiltration. We tape all seams and always check walls for rotting wood before any new materials go up.
Rural Isolation & Remote Property Durability
Many Noëlville properties—especially those along Blair Road and the French River access routes—sit on larger rural lots where help isn’t around the corner. When your nearest neighbour is a kilometre away, you need materials and installation that survive without constant attention. Insects find entry points. Wildlife tests every weak spot. Ice storms and heavy snow loads punish anything that’s not built to last.
Our Solution:
We build for durability and low maintenance. Our siding installations include complete flashing systems that prevent pest infiltration. We use stainless or coated fasteners that won’t rust and fail. Entry doors come with foam-core insulation and security hardware—because rural properties need both weatherproofing and peace of mind.
Seasonal Properties & Year-Round Conversion
The French River region is home to countless seasonal cottages and camps—many of which owners are converting to year-round living. But a three-season cottage wasn’t built for -40°C winters. Single-pane windows, uninsulated doors, and aging siding simply can’t keep up. Heating costs skyrocket. Comfort disappears by December.
Our Solution:
We specialize in seasonal-to-year-round conversions. Hometech windows with argon gas fill handle extreme cold—whether you choose double-pane for strong performance or triple-pane for maximum protection. Insulated siding systems dramatically cut heat loss. Foam-core entry doors with proper weatherstripping seal out winter. And with financing up to $100,000, converting your cottage may be more affordable than you think.

The “Quality Standard” vs. The “Cheap Fix”
In the renovation industry, a “cheap” job is often the most expensive one you’ll ever buy—because it has to be done twice. This is especially true in the French River region, where humidity, wildlife, and weather exposure punish shortcuts faster than anywhere.
The “Cheap” Way
Air-filled double-pane—seals fail faster under lake humidity and freeze-thawMinimal foam—gaps become pest highways on vacant propertiesNew siding over rotting wood—damage spreads unchecked while you’re awayNo flashing—wind-driven rain and insects find every gapBasic weatherstripping—fails after first lake-effect winterContractor from Toronto—good luck getting warranty service up here
The Quality Way
Argon-filled double or triple-pane—engineered for deep-lake exposure and extreme coldFoam perimeter insulation around ENTIRE frame—sealed against cold, moisture, and wildlifeCheck ALL walls for rot and wet insulation BEFORE installingFlashing at every penetration plus taped seams—sealed against Temagami’s exposureFoam perimeter + compression weatherstripping + proper threshold sealingThe Warranty That Sticks—we’ve been on Highway 11 for nearly 30 years

Frequently Asked Questions from Noelville Homeowners
Q: Do you offer service in French?
A: Oui, absolument! Reg grew up in a francophone household right here in West Nipissing. We’re proud to serve Noëlville’s Franco-Ontarian community in the language of your choice. Whether you prefer English or French, you’ll get the same honest advice and meticulous service.
Q: Do you charge more to travel to Noëlville?
A: No. We consider Noëlville and the Highway 64 corridor part of our regular service area—we’ve been servicing this region for nearly 30 years. You get the same pricing, the same meticulous installation, and the same Warranty That Sticks as our West Nipissing customers.
Q: What is the “Warranty That Sticks”?
A: Most contractors disappear when the product warranty ends—or sooner. At Quality Contracting, we stay in your corner. If something needs fixing, you call the same number and Reg answers—not a call centre in Toronto.
Q: Should I choose double-pane or triple-pane windows?
A: For most year-round Noëlville homes, double-pane with argon fill delivers excellent thermal performance at a strong value—a major upgrade from aging single-pane windows. Triple-pane is ideal for seasonal-to-year-round cottage conversions, waterfront properties with maximum exposure, or homeowners doing a complete exterior upgrade who want the best possible humidity resistance and energy savings. Reg will assess your situation during the free estimate and give you honest advice.
Q: How much can I save on heating with new windows?
A: Homeowners typically see 15–20% reduction in heating costs with double-pane windows and proper installation, and 20–25% with triple-pane. The exact savings depend on your current windows and home size.
Q: Can you help convert my cottage to year-round living?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in seasonal-to-year-round conversions. Hometech windows with argon fill, insulated siding, and foam-core entry doors can transform a three-season cottage into a comfortable year-round home. We’ll assess your property and recommend the upgrades that will make the biggest difference for your heating bills and comfort.
Q: Do you offer financing for Noëlville homeowners?
A: Yes. We offer financing up to $100,000 with quick approval through our partnership with Financeit. Find out if you qualify in seconds—no obligation, no commitment. A cottage conversion or whole-home transformation may be more affordable than you think.
Q: Are your installation crews insured?
A: Yes. Every project is handled by WSIB-insured, fully licensed installation crews. We also carry $5 million in liability insurance. We handle the permits and logistics so you can have a worry-free renovation.
Q: Do you work during Northern Ontario winters?
A: Yes, with proper precautions. We install tarps and work efficiently to minimize heat loss during window and door installations. Some siding projects may be weather-dependent, but we’ll advise you during the estimate and schedule accordingly.
Q: What if I need service after the installation?
A: Call us at (705) 980-0895. That’s the whole point of the Warranty That Sticks. You call the same number, Reg’s team handles it. We’re on Highway 64 regularly—if something needs attention, we show up. No runaround, no excuses.
