Windows and Deck Slider Door

I changed 3 windows (1 in bathroom and 2 in bedrooms) and a slider door to the deck. The experience and quality of work from the quoting process to the end exceeded all expectations. The sales person and the installer (David) were punctual, professional, and knowledgeable in every aspect of the job. Will call them again and highly recommend their services/products.

Egress and basement windows replaced

After having called several contractors I was lead to Steve from Fortress Windows. Right from the first phone call he was clear, kind, understood what was needed and made an appointment right away. The rest of the job was amazingly supportive compared to other companies that wouldn’t call back or follow up. Steve returned all calls in a timely fashion and clearly let me know every step of the way what was coming next.
We had old steel frame small basement windows and they did a phenomenal job replacing them. It is VERY difficult to find someone who can install an e-gress window, however, Fortress could do it all very professionally! They cut the concrete, dug the well, finished the job to absolute perfection! I highly recommend this company as they are professional, knowledgeable, caring, sincere people, NOT JUST A BUSINESS BUT REAL, HONEST, CARING owners. Steve is coming back to fix our eavestrough and I will not have to worry about anything as I know the job will be well done. They stand by their word! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FORTRESS WINDOWS AND DOORS! THEY TRULY CARE!

Hello Ann-Marie, thank you for your review and your kind words. I think that sometimes people find it hard to believe that we actually are a company that cares because there are so many contractors "out there" that only care about their bottom line. We treat our customers the same way we would want to be treated.. it's just that simple. I'm so pleased that your experience with Fortress Windows and Doors was respectful, pleasant and fair! All the best, Steve

Kitchen window replacement

The work was exceptional. Steve came out to look at the damage and took time out of his busy schedule to sit and talk with my 83 year old mom for a bit. If it was not for the beautiful new window, I would not have known that someone was there doing any work. Matthew and Stanley installed the window and left everything very clean and tidy. My mom and I are more than pleased. Thank you all for caring.

Replacement of 1925 Beaches house side door to outswing

I was referred to Fortress to help replace a 90+year old side door on our Beaches home which was inward swing to an outward swing to make it easier to move in and out of these houses narrow stairwells-many neighbours have gone this route.I dealt with Richard and owner Steve who came out to look at what needed to be done,showed me options and quoted me-which we accepted. It was a custom size and colour, they ordered door and installed in last 2 weeks. installation was smooth and about 1/2day with great result. Bonus is the decrease in cold air coming in. Great job, thank you Fortress.

Hello Anthony and thank you for your review. The homes in the older parts of Toronto certainly can throw some curves when it come to renovations. Our installation crews are very well versed in handling these situations and we did once again at your home... the door does look beautiful and thank you for your business! Steve

Window and Front Door Replacement

Richard responded quickly to our request for an estimate and came up with a very competitive price for the work we needed doing. The windows were delivered quickly and the installation was great. They didn't leave until we were totally happy and everything was cleaned and tidied up. Very happy with the work that was done

Eavestrough, doors and windows

Very pleased. We had all our eavestroughs and windows re-done, and replaced our back sliding door (part of a mini-makeover/upgrade to our older house; also had siding and porch painted by separate company). We are very happy with the end result and quality of products. The reps. from Fortress Windows were very patient (met with us multiple times) while we made our final decisions on what to go with (not easy decisions). Final price was what was quoted (no additional hidden fees). Job was done on time (no extensions needed). We would definitely recommend Fortress Windows.

Hello and thank you for your review. We know that a renovation project can be quite costly so we want to make sure our clients have carefully thought through all of the options possible before we get started. This approach does give our clients great peace of mind because we can often make suggestions they may not have considered. We truly care about all aspects of our client's concerns and will offer good orderly advice so that the finished product is what they were hoping for, and more! All the best, Steve

Window replacement

I couldn't be happier with the work this company did on my home. They replaced most of the windows in my century old home Richard came to give me a quote the same day. The quote was very competitive. He took a lot of time informing me about what to expect from the company. They take pride in the work they do and strive for 100 percent satisfaction from their customers. Richard ended up acting as project manager and ensured that the I was happy with everything. He was always accessible. by phone and even came by to inspect during and after the installation was completed. The installers, Stanley and Matthew did an awesome job and took pride in their work.
I highly recommend this company.

Bedroom bay window.

We had a very cold bedroom that had not been used for a several years. Steve at Fortress gave us a few options. We went with the triple pane glass, re-insulation and entire frame replacement. The results were excellent! The room is now a very comfortable temperature and we can finally make use of it once again!
The work was done very professionally and neatly. No mess left behind. We are extremely pleased and would gladly refer them to any friends and relatives. Thanks so much!

Bathroom Renovation

Richard and his team were professional and responsive from the time I reached out to them until the job was done. I had two new bathroom windows installed (new cutouts and framing), closing an existing window and replacing one as well. The windows were ordered and arrived when it was promised and their install crew were one of the most friendly of all the contractors we’ve had since renovating. For the two days it took to complete the job, they kept our house tidy throughout the process.

We would definitely recommend Richard and his team if you have a window project!
