Door repair

Steve was prompt and professional in correspondence and diligent while working. I appreciated having my doors fixed/re-aligned and for this company coming out to do so. For the work performed, I found it a tad bit expensive ie. despite justifying what it may have cost had he sent out someone else. Also, with fall COVID cases and hospitalizations ramping up and being well into flu season, I requested a mask be worn in my home and even provided one, but much to my dismay, Steve refused to wear one. For this reason I felt unsettled, disrespected and powerless as it seemed I had no choice in order to get the work done.

Hello Pam, thank you for your review. Sorry I can't wear masks because of a medical condition and I did mention that I get sick when I wear a mask but evidently that was not a concern for you. I came to your home with good will, fixed your old doors to your satisfaction yet you have a complaint about paying a fair price for the service rendered. We do our best to service our clients in a timely fashion at a fair price and 98% of our clients recognize that, I'm sorry you didn't. All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team.

Windows and storm door

Three windows and one storm door were expertly installed. The work was done in about 5 hrs. In addition, an adjustment was performed on my eavestrough, where an overflow occurred during heavy rain. This service is greatly appreciated.

Window and Patio Door Upgrade

Richard was awesome to work with, he updated us on time with the progress and was very thorough with his explanations. He made sure we
have all the options and understands what our decision is going to give us. Ashot and Bernie did an amazing job with the installation and finished on time. They even did a little side project for us free of charge to help clean up the exterior look.
We are very happy with the process and how it all turn out.

Hello Clement and thank you for your review. First, let me thank you for choosing Fortress Windows and Doors for your project. We know there are many companies available to do your windows, doors and eavestrough jobs and that is exactly why we strive to be a "cut above" our competition... but the question is "how do we do that?". We all know that talk is cheap and salesmen can be personable and good at their craft BUT where the rubber meets the road is action. We acted by offering the most comprehensive warranty in the market to our clients. We acted by diligently seeking out the top quality products we could find and bring them to our clients. We acted by bringing the best of the best installers onto our team and paying them what they're worth. We acted by putting an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) in place to reduce and eliminate errors. We acted by taking on the policy of treating our customers exactly as we would like to be treated and bringing people onto our team with the same mindset. It's easy to be rated #1 once, perhaps, but to do it 9 years in a row only happens because of the many actions we've taken. We care, we want our clients to have a seamless, trouble free experience and we want our clients to know that they got great value when they decided to hire Fortress Windows and Doors. We appreciate your business, all the best, Steve and the Fortress Team

Amazing price, better service

We have a 1950's home and it was time to get the windows replaced. After calling multiple companies we decided Fortress has the best price and warranty that we're looking for. The crew was well organized and accommodating. We had a newborn baby. When they were finished, we had 3 beautiful windows and zero mess. Talk about personal service. We had a minor issue with one of the windows and Steve took it upon himself to get it done. 2 years before we also had our windows replaced with another company at 3x the cost. What a waste of money. Should've gone with Fortress then. Highly recommended!

Hello Adonis and thank you for your review. Many times people say they are so please with our company and will write a review but it never appears, sadly. Regardless, we appreciate everyone and know that busy schedules can result in the review being put down the list of priorities.. and THAT'S why we are so thrilled to see the reviews that do come in. Our price point is fair, our warranty and service is the absolute best in the industry and we truly care about our clients. All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team

Great job, no complaints!

Thanks to Richard and the team at Fortress Windows and Doors for a great experience replacing over 10 window openings at our home. Richard was a great sales representative, and kept us well informed throughout the process. He provided all the info needed for our Greener Homes Retrofit grant application. The installation team under Alex were quick and efficient, with no mess left behind.

Quick Door Repair

Called a dozen companies to find someone to fix my front door. Everyone else said they only sell new doors. Steve came quickly and our door is fixed. He even repaired an issue with the door handle that wasnt why I called him. When I need windows or doors, they will be my first call.

Exceptional Service and Product!

It has truly been an exceptional experience working with Richard. He is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, honest and authentic. He explained every step of the process, advised of potential delays due to supply chain constraints, and provided realistic timelines. Richard also went out of his way to address my many questions which made me feel like a valued customer.

Installation day was seamless. Alex and Edward were fantastic. They were punctual, efficient and cleaned up before leaving. I now have the privacy I wanted with ample natural lighting. The colour is perfect. The multi lock system is great. I am an extremely happy lady.

I would definitely call upon Fortress to service my future needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch service.

Window + patio door replacement

We recently had all our 2-storey house windows and patio door replaced with Fortress. We compared two other companies and decided to go with Steve and his team because of the quality, price, honesty, and authenticity. Steve was always available with any follow-up questions we had. We recommend their services! We were completely satisfied with the company from start to finish; they made this big project less stressful than it could have been. There were no errors with measurements despite our house having quite a few non-standard windows (1.5 storeys tall-, bow-, and extended arch top windows). Installation was actually done slightly ahead of schedule. The installation team was hardworking, efficient, considerate, and they cleaned the debris afterwards.
Windows are of high quality. Even on the first night of having new windows in with only foam insulation but no outside aluminum covers/seal yet (step one of installation process), we noticed how much quieter these new windows actually are; we also noticed how much more efficient they are because they held cooler temperatures inside the house longer than the 15 year-old builder windows we had prior (our AC turned on fewer times). We made the decision to purchase additional coating on our east- and west-facing main floor windows because of the low cost of this option. We know it was the right decision as we have been enjoying energy savings ever since they were installed. We were pleasantly surprised of how quickly noticeable the quality and efficiency of the Fortress windows was to us. We are completely happy with the quality, workmanship, and service provided by Fortress Windows, Steve and their install team!

Hello Andreja and thank you for your heartfelt review. You and your husband were a pleasure to deal with and so hospitable! You made everyone feel welcome.
Tackling a job the size of yours is no small undertaking but we always welcome the challenge and always rise to the occasion. Indeed, there were some interesting shapes and sizes but our manufacturing partner and installation team did an amazing final fit and finish. Attention to detail is extremely important to us because we want you to be satisfied that you chose Fortress Windows and Doors to refit your "castle" with new windows and doors.
Thank so much for your business! All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team
