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.

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!

2 new patio doors

Fortress is a great company! We had an upper leak in a ground floor patio door and decided to get 2 new doors to fix the problem. Steve was great, came to the house to have a look, saw the problem and recommended new doors as ours were quite old. The doors were in stock and the whole job was completed in one day about a week later. The 2 installers were very good, efficient, fast and extremely professional. I'm sorry, I didn't get their names. And we love the mini-blinds. I highly recommend Fortress! Steve's calm and humourous approach made us very comfortable.

Hi Rebecca, thank you for writing your thoughtful review. We come across so many situations of water penetration that we can usually determine the source and the solution to the problem. It was a pleasure working with you and I'm glad I can add you to our list of sliding door mini blind lovers, they really are versatile and don't take up room inside your home. I look forward to working with you on future projects we discussed! All the best, Steve and the Fortress Team

Full House Windows and Doors

Richard is simply the best, he articulates his ideas well, gets a sense of what you want ( colour, layout, window style etc ) and knows his customer --- are you more flexible and want to save money? do you want something pricier and more luxurious ? and he doesn't pick for you --- he picks up on what YOU want and delivers..

Product is sensational, timeline was met and exceeded, price was by the far the best --- and the whole time treated me and my wife like family.

Constant communication, great installation, got us exactly what we wanted at a more than fair price --- and ensured multiple times to come back and make sure we were 100% satisfied .

This is the type of business everyone should be supporting -- if you need windows and doors -- don't hesitate, call Fortress .

Hello Philip, thank you so much for the great and heartfelt review! It doesn't take long to assess someone and their true sincerity when you invite them into your home for a quote on work you want to have done. Richard is just that kind of person and truly treats each client with the utmost of care and it's what makes Fortress Windows and Doors unique in the industry, a team that really does care about our clients. We have "long term" mentality and know that if we treat you right, you will be our biggest advocate when friends or family are looking for windows and doors. Thank you again Philip, we appreciate your business and your kind words. Steve and the Fortress Team
