Windows, Doors & Siding in North Monetville
North Monetville homeowners know what French River country demands from a home. The isolation, the wind-driven rain that finds every gap, the freeze-thaw cycles that test every structure. At Quality Contracting, we’ve been building for these exact conditions since 1996.
Reg Piquette grew up just down Highway 64 in Verner, and he’s spent nearly 30 years running his own business and learning exactly what works on rural properties—and what fails when you’re not there to catch it. When you call Quality Contracting, you deal with the owner from Day One to the final walkthrough. No salespeople. No runaround. Just Reg, his team, and the accountability that comes from a neighbour you can actually find at 89 Principal Street.
Protecting North Monetville Homes from French River Country's Elements
North Monetville sits in the heart of rural West Nipissing—remote, beautiful, and unforgiving on homes that aren't properly protected. Contractors from out of town don't understand what Highway 64 exposure and long winters do to an improperly sealed window. We do. We've been building for this climate since 1996.
Wind-Driven Rain & Insect Infiltration
Rural properties around North Monetville face relentless exposure to wind-driven rain and pests looking for any gap to exploit. A window frame that isn’t foamed properly becomes a highway for moisture and insects. A siding job without proper flashing is an invitation for problems you won’t see until it’s too late.
Our Solution:
Double-pane or triple-pane Hometech windows engineered for pressure differentials and thermal stressFoam perimeter insulation around EVERY frame, not just a few spotsFlashing installed at all penetrations to prevent wind-driven moisture infiltrationAll seams taped for airtight performance, even during the worst storms
Seasonal Property Conversions & Remote Durability
Many North Monetville properties started as seasonal camps and are now being converted to year-round homes. Others sit empty for months and need materials built to survive without you there. Standard products and shortcuts don’t cut it when a home has to handle -40°C on its own.
Our Solution:
Hometech double-pane or triple-pane windows that handle extreme cold without seal failureInsulated siding systems that dramatically reduce heating costsEntry doors with proper weatherstripping and foam-core insulationMaterials built to survive when you're not there to babysit them

Every installation follows our meticulous checklist—because cutting corners costs you more in the long run, especially on remote properties.

Frequently Asked Questions from North Monetville Homeowners
Q: Do you charge more to travel to North Monetville?
A: No. We consider North Monetville and the Highway 64 corridor part of our local service area—we’ve been travelling these roads for nearly 30 years. With our Local Price Guarantee, we’ll match the quality and value you expect from a hometown contractor.
Q: Are your installation crews insured for work in rural areas?
A: Yes. Every project is handled by WSIB-insured, fully licensed installation crews. We carry $5 million in liability coverage. We handle permits and logistics so you can have a worry-free renovation.
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. Reg has been running his business here in West Nipissing since 1996 and isn’t going anywhere. If something needs fixing, you call the same number and Reg’s team takes care of it—not a call centre.
Q: Can you convert my seasonal property to year-round?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in seasonal-to-year-round conversions—double-pane or triple-pane windows, insulated entry doors, and siding systems that dramatically reduce heating costs. We’ll assess your property and provide honest advice on what you actually need. Nearly 30 years in French River country has taught us exactly what works for these conversions.
Q: Should I choose double-pane or triple-pane windows?
A: It depends on your property’s needs and budget. Double-pane windows offer excellent energy efficiency and value for most homes. Triple-pane windows provide maximum thermal performance—ideal for seasonal conversions, remote properties, or homeowners who want the best insulation available for -40°C winters. During your free estimate, Reg will assess your specific situation and give you honest advice on which option makes the most sense.
Q: How do you handle the insect and moisture issues common to rural properties?
A: Before any siding goes up, we check ALL walls for rotting wood and wet insulation. Covering up problems just creates bigger problems later. We install flashing underneath insulation boards, tape all seams, and use foam perimeter insulation to create an airtight barrier that keeps insects and moisture out.
Q: How long does a window or door installation take in North Monetville?
A: Most single window or door replacements are completed in one day. Whole-home exterior projects typically take 3-5 days depending on scope. We provide a clear timeline before any work begins—no surprises.
Q: Do you offer financing for North Monetville homeowners?
A: Yes. We offer financing up to $100,000 with quick approval. Find out if you qualify in seconds—no obligation, no commitment. A whole-home transformation may be more affordable than you think, and the energy savings start paying you back from Day One.
Q: Do you work during winter?
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: How much can I save on heating with new windows?
A: Homeowners typically see 15-25% reduction in heating costs with properly installed double-pane or triple-pane windows. On rural properties with wind exposure, the savings can be even more significant. The exact savings depend on your current windows and home size.

About the Author
Reg Piquette — Owner, Quality Contracting
Reg Piquette has been serving West Nipissing homeowners since 1996. Raised on a dairy farm in Verner and trained in the window and door trade by his uncles who ran one of Canada’s largest renovation companies, Reg built Quality Contracting on a simple philosophy: show up when you say you will, do the job right, and stand behind your work.
30 years later, Reg still personally estimates every job and oversees every project. His crew — including Blair St. Aubin (Crew Lead/Foreman), who’s been with Quality Contracting for 24 years, and Marc St. Onge (Technician/Installer), who’s been with the team for 8 years — shares his commitment to meticulous craftsmanship and honest pricing.
When Reg’s not installing windows or checking on job sites, you’ll find him on the trails with his sled or ATV, out on the boat, or watching hockey. He’s also a proud supporter of the community — sponsoring local soccer teams, hockey programs, and volunteering wherever he’s needed.
