Sliding patio door and window replacement - Great job

They did a great job with a patio door with built-in blinds and a smaller window in our spare bathroom. Would go with them again to replace other windows/doors in the future.

4 new windows and a door- fantastic job!

Our friends recommended Fortress to us and we could not be happier. The windows and door were ready within the time they promised and the installers were professional, detailed oriented and very quick! They cleaned up after the job and left the place in great condition. The price was fantastic and Steve was great to work with. Very impressed we will definitely recommend!

New windows!

We hired Fortress to replace our two bedroom windows, and one dining room window (awning style). From the getgo, Richard was very professional and helpful. He gave us different options for various budgets. He was honest and we felt comfortable sharing with him our goals and also our budget. Richard was great to work with and easily accessible! Our team of installers were Alex, Edward and another gentleman. They did such an excellent job! They were professional and meticulous with their work. They respected our home and tidied up before they left, which left less work for me..and more time to enjoy my 3 beautiful windows. We are so happy! We will be using this company again for future projects ! Thank you Fortress!!

Hi Steve and thank you for your review. A bay or bow window must be installed properly with sufficient supports and insulation or there will be issues "down the road". With our many years experience and expertise, we'll do the job right so you don't face any "issues", guaranteed! Thank you for your business! All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team.

Basement replacements + egress

Needed replacement basement windows plus egress basement window. Other companies couldn't/ wouldn't do the egress. They offered no solutions only standard sizes that wouldn't work. Fortress had done a neighbour's and called me back and came out to discuss options and a quote. Courteous, friendly and great workmanship.

Hello and thank you for your review. We, at Fortress Windows and Doors, specialize in egress windows. When you consider the value of a person's life, it is paramount to create an emergency exit that meets and exceeds local code, in our opinion. If your egress window saves just one life, what is the dollar value you would place on that window? This is the correct way to view an egress window project in our opinion so when we make suggestions, based on our years of experience, please listen because we truly have your best interest at heart! All the best, Steve and The Fortress Team!

6 new windows, entry door and basement door

As a first time home buyer the house we purchased needed a lot of help. Finding the right team to replacing all the windows and 2 doors was overwhelming. The other service providers we contacted were either way too expensive for our budget or were unable to find a solution for our unique basement door size. Fortress gave us a ton of confidence from the beginning. Steve came for the initial assessment and answered all of our questions and let us know he would find out what's possible for the basement door. He let us know from the beginning that service delays from the pandemic would impact the installation timeline, but we were happy to wait for the right team. We are so glad we did. The team of installers were incredible. Our house presented some challenges on the day of, which they worked through diligently and kept us informed throughout. They showed us how to use each window and how to maintain them. It's been a few months since the install and we couldn't be happier. They are beautiful and we've received lots of compliments. The two doors installed are perfect as well. I've already recommended Fortress to friends and family.

Wowed the neighborhood

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Richard was very attentive and clearly communicated everything and really has pride in his work.
After they were done, we had neighbors and family come by and were genuinely impressed. Turned our house from 1990's look to a modern look. Window replacement and door replacement went smoothly.

Honest quote

Richard came and assessed my windows and doors, he advised me on pricing and discussed options. When learning that I was going to put my house up for sale he provided more options and discussed whether it was advisable to do this at this time and whether I'd get a return on my investment. He was honest, understanding and provided several options. Thanks for easing my mind.

Window Replacement

I had two old bedroom windows that were installed in 1992 and needed to be replaced. I saw an ad from Fortress checked out their reviews and decided to call them. Steve answered told him what I wanted and he was over in 45 minutes. We talked liked what I heard and signed the contract. What you want from a company is quality products and professional installers. Well they definitely provided both. The windows were well made and were definitely quality windows. Now the installers. They came early in the morning and brought us coffee. Now that never happened with all the tradesman I have had over the years. These guys had years of experience and did an amazing job. Just watching them I was totally impressed with their workmanship. Clean up was as if they were never there. Explained the window operation and asked if I had any questions. Well I guess you can guess I would definitely recommend them for any window installation. Thanks Steve and crew for a job well done.

Hello Ken and thank you for expressing your gratitude for a job well done. We had a few hiccups with scheduling but you were very gracious and understanding and for this I am grateful. I suppose we all have to realize that as humans, we will make errors from time to time but as a very successful man told me once, "it's not what happens, but rather how you handle it that counts!". We do our best to overcome and preempt any issues but if they do happen, we'll always make it right. Thanks again for your business! Steve and the Fortress Team

Repair - when they say "peace of mind", they meant it

For some reason one of the patio doors shifted slightly with a gap between the frame and the door. When I contacted them, they came out RIGHT AWAY to fix it. Responding to their work done nearly 2 years ago so promptly and kindly, I can't thank you enough. Thank you, Steve.

Hello Hess and thank you for your acknowledgement. Our motto is Quality Integrity Value, when these three ingredients are intertwined in the business process we know for certain that our clients will be glad they chose Fortress Windows and Doors. Service is one area where many companies fail and is one of the biggest complaints I hear from people's past experiences with contractors. We will never be one of "those" companies because we treat our clients the same way we would like to be treated. When many companies run FROM the problems, we run TO the problem to make sure it's resolved in a timely manner. All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team.
