Window replacement

We hired Ambia to replace six 28 year old windows with Vinylbilt windows. Of the contractors we had in to provide quotes, Michael was very knowledgeable, honest and provided the best quote. He was very detailed in explaining the installation process and the options available. Unlike some of the other contractors, he made recommendations based on what made sense economically. 5 of the 6 windows were brick to brick installations with the exception of the bay window. Doing a brick to brick installation would have added a further $1500-2000 to the installation cost (due to rebuilding it) and would most likely take over 20 years to pay itself of in energy savings. The wood frame was still in good shape so they capped it with metal, which looked awesome in the end. Also, the warranty provided is good/transferable (not all companies have a warranty like this). Payment was easy as they accepted both email transfers and cheque.

The windows were installed by a two-man crew. They showed up at 8am and were gone shortly before 4pm. George and the other fella were very respectful, professional and got the job done right. We are very pleased with the windows and the installation. The trim we chose is better than the standard and looks great. The rooms are much warmer, there are no more drafts and my wife doesn't have to ask me to open the windows that were seized shut.

If I had to do it again, I would go with Ambia again.

New windows

This was the third time we've had windows installed by Ambia - a testimony to our belief in the quality of their product and work. We had five windows done this time (bringing us to eight Ambia windows in the house). Michael was very responsive going back and forth with setting us up with what we were looking for, even going the extra mile and helping to change the order weeks after we'd submitted it. George led the installation, working around the challenge of bars on the basement windows. Once again, we are very happy with how things turned out. The frosting on the bathroom window and the rain pattern on the basement windows looks amazing.

There are probably only a few windows left to be replaced. When their turn comes, we'll be calling Ambia once again.

The attached pictures don't do the final product justice.

New Front Door

We recently moved into a new house, with a flimsy, drafty old door that was letting in significant noise (busy street). We knew it had to be fixed quickly, and set about our diligence. We spoke to a few other companies, but we decided upon Ambia. They were very helpful during the quoting process with respect to the speed with which they turned it around (we had only found out about Ambia at the last-minute), willingness to explain the logistics & end-product, and price.

Tony & Michael were helpful throughout the process, and responsive to questions we had. The installation went very smoothly, and we are very happy with the end product. We appreciated Michael stopping by during the installation process to ensure it ran smoothly.

All-in-all, we're very happy with Ambia! Quality product at a reasonable price. If we had one regret, it was that we didn't reach out to them sooner & the manufacturer couldn't make the door more quickly. Our house is significantly less drafty and much less noisy - mission accomplished.

New Windows & Entry Door

It was time to replace our 40 year old windows on our old victorian house in the city. I got quotes from a number of different window companies before making a decision. I was very impressed with the quality, price, and service I received from Ambia. Tony was very helpful, attentive, and patient throughout the process of selecting our new windows. He explained every important detail to us and answered all of my questions promptly and courteously. In addition, I would like to thank Dennis and Abraham for their meticulous work in installing the windows and our new entry door. They are a great team and we are very pleased with the results. Our home is so much warmer now and the windows and door look great! Thank you for a job well done!

New Entry Door/Stormdoor/Sidelight

After unpleasant dealings with two other window/door companies I found Tony @ Ambia! He was a pleasure to deal with, helped us find the perfect solution to our entryway for the right price! He offered many options and helped in pinning down the right one. He expeditiously responded to all phone calls, emails, questions/concerns with professionalism, courtesy, honesty, and guidance. The installation went smoothly and in the timeframe promised. His installer, Dennis, was very patient & precise, and went the extra mile to please us, as did Tony. We HIGHLY recommend Ambia W&D!!

14 window replacement

After much due diligence I chose Ambia over Brock, Dayside, Consumer Choice, Becker, Jensen. I have been dealing with Rick who has been very accommodating and patient while we made up our minds on window options. Final measurement was today which was super quick. I'm under a time crunch with an energy audit and Ambia is working to get them in on time. We can't wait until the final result in February.
After install...
Ambia installed my windows over three days in March. The work was overall ok. I say ok because one of the guys working on my home who did the inside caulking/sealing butchered the caulking and made a mess of my interior paint. I did complain to the owner and he had the more experienced fellow come out to cut it all of and fix it so good recovery. However the windows are good quality for what I paid and I am noticing a huge difference in the temperature in my house with no drafts. I would use them again if the reviews remained great but I would try to be home to see the finishing work next time as I'm now trying to repair/repaint many of the walls.

Replaced windows and doors

Ambia put in VinylBilt windows and a front door for us - front and back of the house. I did a lot of research and was attracted by the good energy star ratings on these windows. Now that winter is here it makes a HUGE difference. Ambia was timely, professional and patient with all my questions and concerns. Highly recommended.

Replaced Windows and Doors

I would highly recommend Ambia. We worked with Tony who provided us with a great experience and they were very reasonably priced. We moved into a home that was built in the 50's and had not been updated since it was built. We had four doors and about 20 windows to replace, so it was not a small project. He helped us select the windows and doors as well the door paint color to match the rest of the house. He even sent us a sample of what the color would look like on the type of door we were replacing just to be sure. We were going to go with a different color, but went with Tony's advice and we're so happy we did. His installers were great as well.

Window and doors installation

We decided to change almost all windows in 25 years old house. As this was out first project we were looking for for high quality product with great warranty and for understandable advice regarding design. The guys give us best clear view. We meet with Tony when we almost decided to go with a other company. They estimate together with quality and warranty win so we changed mind with no regrets. The installation itself was clean and smooth. Small fixes (couple screws were lost from French doors ,) wewe done in the couple weeks., Windows and doors look great. Thanks all team for great work!

Windows & Patio doors

We were in the process of renovating our master bathroom when we decided to change the 2 master bath windows, all the windows in the front of our 25 year old home, as well as a patio door. Michael was our salesperson and he was knowledgeable, professional, and was able to give us excellent recommendations on the design of a large curved window above our front entrance. Not only did he give us a detailed, competitive quote (we had 2 other companies quote as well), he offered us a superior product and was extremely accommodating with trying to fit the installation into our renovation timelines.

Our Installer, Dennis was clean, courteous, hardworking, and extremely thorough. There was an issue with our bathroom shutters not fitting properly with the installation (which were removed prior to the installers knowledge), and they were so helpful, even sending Dennis back to reinstall the windows to fit the shutters properly. Not only are we finding our new windows beautiful and functional, they have completely helped with our daughters' room temperature (it was always very cold in the fall/winter and hot in the summer). It has only been 1 month and we have noticed a big difference.

To top it off, they even fixed a sliding door we had installed through another company 3 years ago that we were not happy with; since it was installed, the door has been very difficult to open and often got jammed or stuck. Although this was not their work or product, they were kind enough to arrange for Dennis to make some adjustments (which the original company refused to fix), and now the door is working better than it ever has!

Thank you Michael, Dennis, and the rest of the Ambia team for your great customer service and fantastic products. We will be back to complete the rest of the windows in our house soon!
