10 New Windows, 2 New Exterior Doors

We chose Fortress out of four separate window supplier and/or installer quotes in part because of the amazing support, honesty, integrity, and authenticity of our sales contact Richard.

All 10 windows and 2 exterior doors of our old fixer upper needed to be replaced, and as first-time homeowners we had no idea where to start. From the moment we first met Richard he was more than happy to explain every step and every feasible option for us with patience and a smile on his face. After we decided on what would work best for us (full brick-to-brick/stud-to-stud replacement, Richard kept up updated on the supply process *AND* was extremely understanding while we had our own delays wrestling with the federal renovation grant/loan process.

Come installation day, Amnon and his team of installers were astoundingly efficient and polite. Despite completely cutting out 12 large openings in an older house they left the worksite tidy and with 10 gorgeous new (operational! clean! energy-efficient!) windows and 2 stunning exterior doors in place. Much easier said than done.

Both as the work was being completed and after the installers had long-since left, Richard followed up to see if we had questions and to help is review the work done to ensure we were satisfied.

We had a fantastic experience with Fortress Windows & Doors--particularly with Richard, Amnon, and Amnon's installation team--and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to get work done.

Hello A and thank you so much for your review. We are so pleased that your experience with Fortress Windows and Doors has been an awesome and rewarding one. Our installation teams are among the best in the industry and you have clearly had the pleasure of experiencing this, first hand. We are proud to have Richard as part of our team because he is exactly as you describe him, patient, thorough and high integrity! The three words that drive our organization are Quality, Integrity and Value. We have used pretty much every window in the market place in search of what we believe will be the best fit with our business philosophy and we will ONLY bring product to our clients that are as good as, or better than, any other product on the market today! There are MANY window and door products available that are very low quality but still meet building code so choose carefully! We appreciate your great review and we stand behind you with the absolute BEST warranty in the industry! All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team.

Door Installation

Yesterday, team from Fortress Windows & Doors completed our door installation on time and the quality of workmanship was excellent. Crew did an excellent job in installing the new doors and left the area very clean. The installers were fast, friendly, and courteous. We witnessed quality, integrity and value from quotation visit day to final completion of door installation day.

Steve and his team were very professional. We are very happy with the new doors and it exceeded our expectations. I will not hesitate to call Steve again for any future window or door installations and will highly recommend to anyone without any reservations.

Thank you to all the staff of Fortress Windows & Doors for a job very well done.

Hi Paul, thank you for your review. We are all in a very different world since the start of the pandemic. The entire renovation world, suppliers, transportation and worker availability tend to be upside down, trying to keep up with demand in the marketplace. There is a glass shortage because manufacturing capability can't keep up with the demand. Specialized glass shapes and designs are taking longer than normal because the companies that make that product are overwhelmed with orders.
Your doors took longer than "normal" because we are not living in "normal" times and I appreciate your patience.
We at Fortress Windows and Doors are just as anxious to fulfill our client's orders as they are because we love happy satisfied customers but we can't install products that haven't been produced. This response is to thank you once again for your business and your patience... and your new doors look fabulous! Steve and the Fortress Team

Great service and product!

Richard was our main contact and he was amazing to work with. He was patient, genuine and easy to work with. We were getting new windows for the entire house and brand new entry doors which were a huge project. Although we understand that supply issues were happening which caused delays in installation, Richard kept us posted on timing and never left us in the dark. The installers were fast and courteous. Highly recommend!

Windows

If you to deal with an honest man its Steve from Fortress Windows and doors. I have known him for over 18 years and wanted a kitchen window replaced. He came on the appointment day and told my that my windows were still in excellent condition and the window I wanted replaced need not be. He showed me that all was fine with it.

Thank you Steve for your honesty and saving me a couple of thousand dollars.

Hello Zahir and thank you for your review. We run our business with three words that will always help us do the right thing ... Quality Integrity Value. Your wife complained that she could only open the window slightly and when I looked at it I knew exactly why. You have double sliders and the "night safety latch" was engaged at the top so the window would only open a few inches. When I disengaged the safety lock, the window would fully open and the problem was solved. Some might think I wasted my time going to your home today, but I would disagree! What happened today shows why we have been rated #1 in Toronto for 9 years in a row, it's called Integrity = doing what's right. Will you always remember this experience? I believe you will. Would you recommend us without hesitation to your friends and family? I believe you will ... and I believe that the "good will" I shared with you today, will come back to our company many times over. You see, business isn't ALWAYS about making money, it's about treating our brothers and sisters with kindness, honesty and integrity!
Have a great day, Steve and the Fortress Team

Whole house windows replacement

Richard put in some new windows for a neighbor, and we requested a quote on our home, to replace all our windows.
Richard had been very professional, introduced different kinds of windows, gave us some good ideas, etc. He kept us updated about the timeline from ordering, manufacturing, installation, any delays due to Covid-19. The installers, Alex & Edward did an excellent job, ensuring all the windows were installed & fitted properly. Richard had also gone out of his way to fix a screen problem on our patio door at our request without extra charge. Really appreciate that.
Our energy auditor confirmed that our new windows were expertly installed & very air-tight. Of course they also look beautiful !!!

Hello Junie and thank you for your review. The energy auditors check the windows for air leaks but not "thermal migration". some older windows have years of paint on them and can be very air tight. the challenge is that most older windows don't have the LoE coating and Argon gas which increase the energy efficiency of the windows quite dramatically. Our windows are made to exacting standards and our installers are among the best in the industry. Richard is very professional and knowledgeable and all his clients rave about his service.. we're proud to have in on our team! Thanks again for your business, Steve and the Fortress Team.

Walkout Basement Door

I had Steve come to my house to give me a quote to replace our Walkout Basement Door. He came out in a timely manner and he was very professional. Steve contacted me a month earlier than anticipated because he received the door early. Steve had his crew come to install the new door the day after he received it. Certainly, very prompt service which I very much appreciated! We are very happy with the new door, its very solid and the quality is excellent.
Steves crew did an excellent job installing the new door and left the area very clean.
I will not hesitate to call Steve again for any future window or door products and installations.
Thanks so much!
