Patio door & windows

I had 6 windows, patio door & aluminum capping done in Aug. The work was done on time. Very pleased with the quality of the products and installation. I want to thank Steve who never pressured me & helped with replacement of 2 old screens and crank. I especially want to thank Max for an excellent job in the capping and installation. He is a master craftsman & hard worker. Highly recommend!

Hello and thank you for your review. We know that once the job is completed and paid for, our clients are under no obligation to write a review so we want to acknowledge ALL of our clients who have taken the time to do so!
We know that if we simply treat our clients the same way that we ourselves would like to be treated then all will be well.. it's not rocket science but IS increasingly rare. We truly appreciate your business and it was a pleasure to work for you! All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team

Window and door

The manufacturer that Fortress uses does not do quality control before sending the items out. On the day of installation for my storm door and window I was informed that when the Fortress installers went to pick the two items up they discovered that the window frame was scratched. It would be repainted and be ready the next week. As the door installation progressed they discovered that they did not have all the hardware needed. They went to get it and returned that day to complete that part of the work. I noticed after they had left that the handle was scratched. I notified Fortress and when they came to install the window they put in a new handle. I paid them and later discovered that I could not open the storm door window. The owner of the company came the same day that I called and tried to fix it but it still was very difficult to open. He said that they would have to get a technician to look at it from the manufacturer. A week later I had not heard from anyone. I contacted the person who had come to check the problem who now told me that someone else was in charge of contacting the manufacturer. I waited two more days and contacted Fortress again. As soon as he heard my name he hung up. I left a message and have not heard back. The door and window look good they fixed my original problem and left me with another since they appear to have no intention of fixing it.

Hi France,
thank you for expressing your frustration, this helps us to fill in any gaps that may be in the "chain of command". if someone hung up on you, I do apologize and can say that this was purely accidental.
We have reached out to the storm door manufacturer after I came by and found that the sliding glass panel in your storm door was too difficult when trying to slide it up and down. This will get remedied I assure you! our client satisfaction is paramount to us and again, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
It has come to my attention that the phone at the home of this client has not been working well at all. Our service department has called numerous times and the phone is not picked up. The service department from the storm door manufacturer has also called numerous times and the phone wasn't pick up. We've instructed the manufacturer to simply go and repair the door (apparently a simple fix) as the door itself is at the back of a carport and easily available at any time. We really have tried to communicate with France but have been unable to reach her. Steve and the Fortress Team

Window replacement

If you are looking for someone to do windows and doors; look no further.
I have dealt with Fortress for years and have always been a satisfied customer. They recently replaced some windows in my home and once again were excellent. They are real professionals who provide prompt, efficient communication and are skilled, polite and leave the job site clean. The quality of their product is very good and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you to Steve, Richard and Andy. You guys are great!

New windows - Professional Quality Work!

Fortress windows and door changed windows in our home and we could not be happier with the professional and quality work they did for us. The entire process was seamless. These days it is difficult to find contractors you can trust! They were on time, courteous, and provide excellent value. Thank you again Fortress Windows and Doors!

Window Replacement

Our experience with Fortress Windows was nothing short of EXCELLENT! From the initial visit, preparing the quote, discussing the whole process was seamless. Their pricing is amazing and their services are the best. We met Steve at first and then we met Steve and Steve to finalize the installation. We have an older house with many windows and all the work performed was immaculate. We have already recommended their services to our friends and family. One of the most important aspect is that they are a family owned local business, fully Canadian. Their product is superior to the others and their service unparalleled. If we ever need these type of services again we will only contact Fortress. They were very accommodating, professional and delivered on their promises. Their installers were also very hard working and took great pride in ensuring the work performed not only met but exceeded our expectations. They are the BEST.
