Honest

Had 2 windows and one patio door installed by Fortress Windows.
Steve was very upfront with the cost and did not try to upsell products. Price was reasonable and the warranty is great. Hopefully I'll never need to use it.
The installers did a great job and were very professional.m

Thank you so much for your review. We have the best warranty in the industry and we're proud to offer it to our customers. what happens if "something goes wrong" once the job is completed and paid for? Great "after installation service" is so important and we will always take care of our customers. Pricing is always a factor and we promise to bring our customers great value for their money, I think we are all looking for that when we make a purchase. Thank you again for your business, Steve and the Fortress Team!

PATIO DOOR PERFECTION!

We had a patio door put in and could not be happier with the job Steve did.
The product is amazing and the installation was quick. I loved that I didnt have clean up after, they left it so clean it was like they were never there! They were extremely professional and kind.
Highly recommend Fortress.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that the job we did for you met and exceeded your expectations. It seems that too often we are disappointed with our interactions with contractors these days. we, at Fortress Windows and Doors, are changing that paradigm by having an attitude of gratitude that you chose us to do your project. We're happy when you're happy! Steve and the Fortress Team

Jutta and Mel

We can´t say enough about the service. When we requested quotes, Fortress was the only company that provided them in writing. Richard was very helpful in our decision making, and followed up with our order. Max our installer was amazing. He worked so hard all day to get the installation done. He was meticulous, pointed out some of the problems we had had with our old windows and then fixed the lack of proper framing and insulation before installing the new windows. Max was pleasant and respectful throughout the process. He left the project only after he had cleaned everything up. Would have him back anytime. Thank you Fortress for an amazing job.

Windows installation

I was highly impressed with Fortress Windows and Doors from first point of sale to clean up, post installation. I was so happy to be able to get my Windows in just before Christmas and want to shout out to Steve and Richard for their professional, efficient and very pleasant customer interaction. Its all in the details. Thank you all for a job well done and I will definitely recommend your services to family and friends.

Hello Marcia, thank you for your comments! Nothing is more satisfying to us than a customer who is thrilled that they chose Fortress Windows and Doors. We are very "old school" in the way we do business in that we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated! We truly offer our clients Quality, Integrity and Value as a part of our business performance... that doesn't mean we're the cheapest. I think we've all bought something for a cheap price and thought we got a "great deal", only to find out shortly afterward that we had "buyers remorse", for many different reasons. We appreciate your business Marcia and wish you all the best! Steve and the Fortress Team

Front Door and Patio Door

Richard and his Team did an excellent job replacing my Front Door and my Patio Doors. Richard even made some recommendations which improved upon achieving the look I wanted. The installation team were prompt and courteous and cleaned up upon completion. Richard followed up with me to insure that I was happy with the job. I would highly recommend Richard and Fortress Windows and Doors.

After service on front screen door

Dealing with Steve at Fortress Windows And Doors Inc has been the best decision Ive made for my house maintenance. I am extremely happy with the installation of all the windows, patio door and front and back doors by Fortress. After two years, there was a small problem with the front screen door and Steve came by the next day to make the necessary adjustment to the door. This follow up after service was phenomenal to me. He was happy to drop by and make the adjustment. There was no hassle and important to me No charge.

I thank you for your professionalism and your above and beyond follow-up service you provided. I am a happy customer!

Hello Shirley and thank you for your review. After sales service seems to be a lost art for most businesses today and if they do show up, it's always with a hand out looking for more. Fortress Windows and Doors has truly set themselves apart from the competition by providing outstanding after sales service because we treat our clients the same way we would like to be treated. All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team!

Windows and Doors Reviews

Excellent service from day one. We came across Fortress Windows and Doors Inc through the mail out brochures. After contacting other companies, we felt comfortable with Fortress Windows and Doors Inc all because of the follow factors. Richard (our first point of contact) is a very knowledgeable person and provided excellent options to choose from for our windows and doors. Never once made us feel pressured in our decision making, and kept us in the loop on the status of our order and installation times. Richard and his colleague Steve are very professional in making sure the process is done correctly without any shortcuts. Alex and Edward (the installers) were very professional in ensuring the installation is done safely and were very communicative when any questions were asked. Richard even actually made us aware of the Greener Homes Rebate, and provided us details about it throughout our customer experience with them. Thank you Fortress Windows and Doors Inc. Gold star service, and highly recommended.

Hello and thank you for your review. There is no "I" in team and it takes a great team to have a championship winning organization! Fortress Windows and Doors has the honour of being rated #1 in Toronto for the last nine years in a row and this doesn't happen by accident. We approach each client and each project providing three ingredients that will create a win/win scenario for all and those three ingredients are Quality, Integrity and Value. Just like a three legged stool, if you remove one of those ingredients, everything topples over. We appreciate your business and your feedback about our awesome Team and wish you all the best! Steve and the Fortress Team

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
