Storm Doors

Had a bit of difficulty at the outset because the manager I signed with was fired and did not submit any paperwork. After a couple of months, reached out to Clera, spoke to Raj, and from that point everything was smooth. Cleara exceed the time for delivery, the doors are high end in terms of quality and look great. The guys who came to install were professional, very funny and dealt well with my crazy dog very well.

Excellent quality and service

We have had all our windows replaced by Clera Windows over the years. This year, we completed the last two windows and one door that had not yet been changed. The work was high quality, the workers were polite and efficient. The warranty is amazing and they follow through on it. Overall, we are very satisfied with Clera Windows.

Window and door replacements

When it came down to replacing all 28 of our windows and 2 doors after 20 years we knew this would be a big job. We gathered several quotes and Mike at Clera provided us with the best options for the best price and provided expertise and insight into our choices that we would not have come up with on our own. When it came down to scheduling installation Jeremy and Jon were always on time and extremely professional. They paid attention to every detail and by the end of our project we couldn't be more satisfied. Our windows and doors look fantastic and we cant believe the difference from our old 'builder' windows. We even decided on our windows not facing our neighbors or street to not put our curtains back up, they look that good! We highly recommend Clera Windows + Doors, you will be in good hands with their quality products, competitive pricing and professional services.

Wouldn't recommend or wish this experience on anyone

This review won't hold any value and is a complete waste of my time especially for the fact there will be zero follow up and no compensation provided for the terrible experience we had dealing with your company.
Our original estimation date of completion for this project was end of September mid October... approaching October I inquired with a follow up with Gary who is no longer with the company and my response back was contractually we arnt til October... ok... so come mid October we kept getting push back after push back... after many phone calls exchanged it wasn't until mid November that they got installed...but remember contractually it was october... again zero response to that statement...so finally completed windows to only be told that our patio door isn't ready and will be in the new year.... new year approaches, yet again delay after delay no response after no response. Finally mid February our patio door was installed with our front door.... there was gaps missing around the door of foam and our basement window barely even opens and what does is miniscule. there was zero reasoning with anyone and were bound to our contract that Clera did not come close to satisfying. so yet again a very dissatisfied customer and zero compensation was had. So the end of the day my review and experience is I will never recommend your company to anyone. We will actually tell people not to deal with Clera Windows and doors all because your company wouldn't satisfy or even communicate with their customers. Sorry holds absolute no meaning.
Have a fantastic day

Dear rv47,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our company! We respect and appreciate the length of time that you've waited, and we undoubtedly understand the frustration this has caused you. We would like to extend an apology for the unfortunate experience you've detailed in your review. With custom made products as yours, sometimes unforeseen situations that are beyond our control can cause a delay in our deliveries. We apologize if the local branch manger failed to keep you informed, we thank you for letting us know. Clera Windows and Doors has been in business for over 44 years, we have provided quality products and services to thousands satisfied customers. Our longevity in the business is a testament to our great products and excellent services. We are extremely disappointed to see such a harsh criticism from you, especially, when you have provided us with a signed 100% satisfaction completion certificate. As per your signed completion form that we have in our files, you have replied that your installation was 100% completed, 100% completed to your satisfaction, 100% satisfied with the overall quality and appearance. We installed your windows in time, it was only your patio door that was delayed by the manufacturer which was beyond our control. We are sorry but we are unable to provide you with compensation as the patio door manufacturer did not provide us with compensation also. We notified the local branch manager of your feedback, he will contact you soon to discuss on how he can assist you further.

Once again, we thank you for your business and wish you the best.

build and install windows

There seems to be a profusion of confusion about our recent dismay.
We contracted for all windows to be replaced.
The installers understood that they were to replace all windows.With this in mind they removed flashing from all windows
After they left the rep informed us that one window would not be done and unless we paid more the window would remain in unfinished condition,
We asked how much more and he replied he would have to come back the next day with"papers". He never appeared again.
We reluctantly paid in full obviously uncomfotable with the decision.
We still felt that we should have all the windows done as per agreement.
We have never at anytime denied anyone access to the job site.
We cannot understand how we became at fault in this matter.
It is clear that the whole fiasco has been caused by a mistake by the rep.
We resent the fact that you clearly think we somehow adjusted the window total.
With the pictures enclosed we suggest that you would be better advised to rethink your position in this matter,
You will find that the original contract is open to interpretation.
You will also see that the windows are easily counted and accessible.
We resent the implication that we are trying to deceive you.
The bottom line is we have a window minus flashing and caulking and unless we pay more it will remain that way. We had to have a plastic cover put over the inside to stop the draft. It was the reason we had new windows insatlled
Your company removed the flashing and some how you justify that we should be accountable to restore it.
We are a business that has been around for 50+ years we understand that
some times there are misunderstandings. We can go along with that. But we will not tolerate anyone that claims we tried to circumvent a deal.
If by the end of June (more than enough time) we do not feel we have been fairly dealt with.We will pursue this with great vigour. If it resolved we will retract our reviews.
Please look carefully at the photos supplied and make your decision.

Hello Renegade,

We thank you for your feedback but we are very sorry to see your low rating, especially after signing off our satisfaction completion certificate form. Looking at your signed purchase agreement you bought 21 windows and you paid for 21 windows and not 22 as indicated in your review. As per our conversation with your local branch manager he informed us that during the installation of the 21 windows it was discovered that there was an additional window which was missed but was never charged on your sales agreement. In the interest of good customer service, our branch manager offered to provide you with the window at free of charge, at our cost in the amount of $450. All you were asked to pay for was for the installation fee, which you agreed. Once the window was ready he contacted you to set up an installation date which you informed him that you were no longer interested. The offer for the free window is still available, please contact Ken if you wish to proceed.

We thank you for your business and wish you the very best!

Definitely will use Clera again! Thanks guys

We had many quotes to replace our windows. Jonathan had provided not only the most competitive quote, but also talked us through all the different design options available. We ended up going with black windows and absolutely love the look. Thank you to Avni and the install team for keeping everything on schedule and clean. Well be coming back for our front door next year!

Hello John,

We thank you for your feedback and we are sorry about your door troubles. Clera has a very competitive warranty and we stand behind it 100%. However, we are not the manufacturer of your patio door, and as it’s indicated in the terms and conditions of your signed contract, finished products sold, but not manufactured by Clera are covered by their own manufacturer’s warranty. As per our several conversations and emails with your wife we were very clear that your door issue was not caused by any fault of ours. Your local branch manager informed the patio door manufacturer of your issue and they send their door specialists to address your issue. The serviceman's findings were, no factory issues, and no installation issues. On questioning, you informed him that the panel was broken by the slamming and rough handling by your teenage son. The branch manager also informed us that he assisted you several times at free of charge and he also provided you with free parts which were not covered under your warranty as your door was purchased in 2016. We have done our best to accommodate you.

We thank you for your business and wish you well.
