Master bedroom windows

We had a picture window that had a discoloring haze and moisture building up between the panes of glass.
Steve explained that we had seal failure which was causing the problem.
Steve offered to replace the glass to save us some money but we decided we would like to have additional ventalation and bought two opening windows (Steve calls them casement windows).
We are pleased with the product and istallation.
Quailty company.
Thanks Fortress (Steve and team)

Hi Mirella and thank you for your review. Finding a business that you can trust is a tremendous advantage, especially in the building trades. Many clients will ask us for recommendations of companies to do other work they need to have done at their home and we will only refer others that we feel hold the same values as we do by bringing Quality, Integrity and Value to the process. My point is simply this, we will always do our best by giving you options to keep the price of your project as low as possible while still providing a high quality solution, just as we did with you Mirella. Thank you for your business! Steve

Side door installation

This is my second job completed by Fortress. Steve makes my family and I feel at ease when speaking with him. He is thorough and fair when it comes to pricing. Their installers are clean and courteous to the point that they offered us coffee!
I would highly recommend Fortress to family and friends.

Outstanding product and workmanship

Fortress Windows came recommended by a friend and I am extremely pleased with their product line, workmanship, customer service and friendliness of the young man who installed new basement windows and a patio door at our home.
I would highly recommend this company.

Windows replacement - best customer service

The high quality job done by Steve's team has made me feel this winter, as cold as it is, much warmer than previous ones. We needed to replace close to a dozen windows. From the get go, Steve was customer oriented, providing reasonable quote and time frame, and focusing on all details. The installation team led by Jurijs did a fabulous job, thanks to their good skills. In dealing with some issues beyond the control of anyone, Steve came in-person again and dealt with the issue smoothly and professionally. While there was some delay in receiving the Greenon rebate, Steve stepped up the plate to pay the rebate first himself. From end to end, Fortress offered the best customer service. My sincere thanks to Steve and team. I highly recommend Fortress to anyone who needs windows replacement.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Windows and doors replaced

Let me start by saying that I've taken some time before posting this review in order to gauge the quality of the product.

The installation was completed back in June. I have now had several months to see how the windows and doors operate during hot Summer days and cold Winter nights. I can honestly say that Steve at Fortress provides an excellent quality product as well as a superb installation team.

All my windows along with the front door and rear sliding door were completed by Steve's team at Fortress Windows and Doors.

I have done extensive research and received 6 other quotes from different contractors. I wanted to ensure i hired the right team as replacing the windows and doors is a large investment for our home.

The quote from Fortress Windows and Doors was fairly priced. Steve was not pressing and took the time to properly explain and had answered all of my questions. The warranty that Fortress provides is great, with no fine print!!

Overall I'm extremely pleased with Steve and his teams services.
I will definitely recommend and use them for any future work. I have recently hired them for my in-laws home to replace a broken window and window cranks that were originally installed by the builder a few years.

THANKS Steve and team for quality workmanship!!!

Door Installation

Professional and honest service from Steve! Excellent installation job from Stan and Matthew! Loving our new front and patio doors which were installed in perfect time to keep out cold air and snow from the snow storm. Even better when we brought home our little bundle of suprise the next day.
Thank you Fortress!

Hi Craig, congratulations on the new addition to the family! Thank you for your business and for taking a moment from your "very busy" life to express yourself on this review. We hope you enjoy your new front door and patio door with mini- blinds. The front door is the entrance to your "castle" and it is a reflection of you and your personal style ( or perhaps your wife's style)... We are just very pleased to have been part of the transformation of your new home! All the best, Steve

Windows and Eavestroughs

Had all new eavestroughs installed, along with two new very large casement windows.
We were very pleased and impressed with Steve Mercer. The work was done in a timely manner as discussed with Steve. The installers were very easy to work with and did a great job.
Job well done.

Hello and thank you for taking a few minutes to express yourself with regard to your experience with Fortress Windows and Doors. in colder weather, people do have concerns about the caulking adhering properly, which makes sense. The good news is that our caulking is rated to be used in weather as cold as -20 C so we are installing windows and doors all year round, weather permitting. Steve
