Replacing 12 windows and 1 patio sliding door

I got 3 quotes from 3 different companies I found from Home Stars and I decided to go with Fortress windows not only because their quote was very competitive but Steve was very punctual, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Throughout the renovation nightmare, I would say he was the only one who was ahead of schedule while other contractors are stalling the renovation. The installers were also very fast and they worked through the heat waves and finished the 12 windows and 1 patio door within 2 days. I would definitely recommend Fortress windows and I already have.
Thank you Steve.

Excellent job

After obtaining 4 quotes , we opted to give our business to Fortress Windows and Doors. Even though we had quotes closer to the price what Fortress quoted , it was easier to say yes to Steve Mercer as he impressed us with his knowledge and sincerity .
We were replacing window for the whole house in all 18 windows and so glad we picked Fortress as they did a amazing job. Steve delivered as he promised with great service , great product, and they did super job in cleaning.
Mainly you were reachable when we needed to contact you and you responded promptly .
Steve you went above and beyond than what was in the contract to help us , for that alone I give you a Star :)
We will recommend you to our friends and family anytime.
We wish you great success .

Excellent!

I've been in business 45 years, so I know quality service and work when I see it. Put simply, these are good people selling a great product at a decent price, and following through on everything they say they will do. The new doors look great and helped my home sell in record time for over asking. What more could you ask?

Hi Paul. The new doors that we installed added great curb appeal to your home. You mentioned that another trades person commented on how professional the caulking application was. I'm always so pleased to hear great feedback from our clients because we truly do want you to have the best experience possible when you chose Fortress Windows and Doors! Steve

Replaced all our windows!

Fortress accommodated our request to have the installers work over the weekend. The installers, Yuri and his team, were very professional, respectful and did a great job. The installation and clean up was better than we expected. We are happy we got this huge job done by these guys.

Thanks again

New gutters and downspouts to correct water leakage into the house

This is our second experience with Fortress Windows & Doors. Water was starting to come into our house through our upstairs Bay Window. Both the Steves came out to assess the situation and we ended up installing new eaves and downspouts. Stephen Mercer's response to resolving our problem was extremely quick and within a week of contacting them the new eaves and spouts were installed. Stephen understood the urgency of the situation. Needless to say my wife and I are very pleased with the workmanship and service provided and the price was competitive with another company. We would, will and have recommended Fortress Windows & Doors to others.

Replaced 3 windows

We replaced three sliders with awning windows and we are very pleased with our new windows. We obtained two quotes and chose Fortress as Steve who came to give us a quote was knowledgeable and patient in answering our questions while he was there and our follow up questions via email. He seemed like a straightforward and plain-speaking kind of guy. Dave who came to install the windows was friendly and professional, conscientious and persevering (when he ran into a couple of snags), and he did a good job on cleaning up afterwards.

Great price, great service and outstanding work

We recently used Fortress when we needed to replace 5 windows on our main floor. The issue for us was that they had to be retrofitted due to the fact that we had custom moldings around our windows and we did not want them replaced or damaged.
Steve McCue was our point of contact, he ensured us that the windows would be great quality and that the work would be done professionally and for us not to worry. Not only did Steve give us a great deal but he was bang on about the work.
We could not be happier with our installer Dave from the Soo. The windows are great but the workmanship was even better. There is no way you can tell that they are retrofits.
Thank you Steve, Dave and Fortress Windows for a great experience. We could not be happier.

New energy efficient windows

We just had Fortress Windows and Doors replace all seven windows on our main floor with energy efficient windows and couldn't be happier with the service we received. The windows were installed by Yuri and Gleb, and they completed their work very professionally, working right up to when the power went out due to a wind storm. Any questions we had that they couldn't answer were answered by Steve Mercer with a phone call and a visit the following day. We are very pleased with the work done by Fortress and would would recommend them to anyone needing windows.

Excellent quality of workmanship

We had Fortress acquire and install a custom size steel door for our garage back door. We are very happy with the Product (Door) and the installation. Dave (the installer) was amazing. He really went the extra mile with his flashing work inside and out. Also, he fixed both our front and back door so that they close without resistance. Great Job!
