From a single wood storm window to a full set of custom windows, we’re happy to hear what you’re working on.

I need one or a few windows
A drafty room, a failed unit, or one window that needs replacing or upgrading on an older home.

Better comfort and weather protection without changing how the exterior of your house looks.
I'm planning a larger older-home project
Multiple windows, a renovation, or custom wood windows for a character or heritage-style home.
Small Residential Projects Are Welcome
Not every job is a full renovation or a large custom build, and it doesn’t need to be. Plenty of homeowners come to us for one window, a few storm windows, or a single custom replacement that has to look right on an older home.
If your project is modest but still calls for careful woodwork, a proper fit, and respect for the look of the house, that’s exactly the kind of work we’re happy to take on.
Wood Windows Built to Suit an Older Victoria Home
On an older home, the right window is rarely a standard off-the-shelf unit. It has to fit an opening that may not be square, sit correctly against the trim, suit the proportions and character of the house, and still make the room more comfortable to live in.
Prestige Joinery builds new custom wood windows and wood storm windows for residential projects across Victoria — from character homes in Fernwood and Fairfield to older houses in Oak Bay and James Bay. Our work is made in wood, built to fit, and designed to look like it belongs on the house.
Whether you’re trying to cut drafts, replace a window that’s failed, add traditional wood storm windows, or simply improve the look and comfort of an older home, we’re glad to talk it through and tell you honestly whether it’s a good fit for what we do.

How Wood Storm Windows Help
A storm window adds a second layer between the existing window and the weather. For many older homes, that can reduce drafts, soften temperature swings, and help the room feel more comfortable — while keeping the exterior appearance traditional. Because the storm window is built in wood, it can be finished to suit the house rather than looking like a generic add-on.
Every home is a little different, so we start by understanding what you’re actually trying to solve: draft reduction, exterior appearance, thermal comfort, or simply a wood option that looks right.

For many older Victoria homes, wood storm windows are one of the most practical upgrades available. They add a layer of protection against weather and drafts and improve everyday comfort — without changing the traditional look of the house from the street.
These are not off-the-shelf vinyl or aluminum products. Prestige builds each storm window in wood, made to suit the home and finished to look appropriate on the exterior. Depending on the project, we can build, finish, paint, and install them for you.
In some cases, a custom wood storm window may be the right first step before considering full window replacement. It’s often a way to improve an older window without replacing everything at once — you keep the original character and gain real comfort.
New Wood Windows for Older Homes
Some windows reach a point where a new window makes more sense than nursing an old one along. The challenge then isn’t just finding a window — it’s finding one that suits the house.
Prestige builds new custom wood windows designed to fit the opening, respect the exterior appearance, and perform better than what they replace. Depending on the project, that can include modern weather stripping, improved seals, and double- or triple-glazing options where they make sense.
A custom wood window gives you control over the proportions, details, and finish — which matters a great deal on an older home, where a standard modern replacement might technically fit the hole in the wall but still look wrong on the house.Customization options also extend to the finish and detailing, with choices ranging from natural wood stains that highlight the grain to painted finishes that complement or contrast with the home’s exterior or interior color palette.
Whether inspired by historical architectural styles, regional traditions, or contemporary design trends, the ability to collaborate with our skilled craftsmen ensures that the end result is a unique masterpiece that reflects your personal style, values, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
