Windows Throughout home

We had our windows replaced by Torwin fifteen years ago. We had a crank that broke on one small window. The fixture was out of date but they had a supply of pieces that they used to give me a replacement. Overall I find their quality very high and their service excellent.

Patio Door, Front & 2 Bsmt Window

From my first appointment with the sales person I found them to be very knowledgable of each product they carried I appreciated that they didn't try to sell me a high end product when my needs and budget were limited. We went thru all that they carried and decided on 2 product lines that would work best for me.

From the time my order was placed to the day of installation I was pleased with the customer service aspect and cost! My new front door adds a lots of value to my home and the patio door is not only beautiful but very easy to use. The installers were polite and efficient and cleaned up every spec before they left. I am pleased with this firm and have recommended them to family and neighbours as well.

Replace windows and doors

Torwin provided us with quality products and left the project with a professional finish. We recommend having all of the work done at once since scheduling problems slowed our completion. with the way we completed out whole home reno, it was not possible for us to be ready for the window installation and the trim work at the same time which did create some problems. The problems did not however effect the finished product, or the price. Competitive and professional, they are a great option to consider for window and door work.

New Front Door System

We had our new 8 ft Door System installed in August 2010. AMAZING! For weeks afterwards we had vehicles stopping in front of our home admiring our door system. This caused a few near-misses as our street can get rather busy at times! A few even knocked on our door to find out where we had purchased it. The consultation process at Torwin guided us to make the right design decisions. There are many beautiful homes in our area and we still believe we have one of the nicest door systems. It has added tremendous curb-appeal and we still feel it is one of the best investments we have made in our home. The installation was done by true craftsmen who were polite, neat and very efficient. We were completely delighted about the entire process from selection to installation. This is the second door system we purchased from Torwin, our first being 6 years ago at our previous home, and we had the same installer. Very rare in this day of fly-by-night companies. Thank you Torwin!

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

My experience with Torwin far exceeded my expectation. His staff were skilled and experienced. Our job was not straight forward and they were able to make it all come together on budget and on schedule.

Fibreglass - Front door system

Torwin installed an amazingly beautiful fibreglass front door system (TruTech)in Dec 2010. It is luxurious and truly looks, feels like and has the weight of real wood. The colour, texture and finish is gorgeous and has fooled everyone (and we aren't telling!!). The glass insert is a new design for 2011 - and we are thrilled to have such a unique STATEMENT PIECE for our home!
Installation was neat and professional - and the sales staff at Torwin were exceptionally helpful and accomodating - and fun to work with.

Front Door Installation

In November of 2010 I had contracted with Torwin to execute a replacement on my front door. Although there was some communication issues, the job was completed with high quality and on the right cost.

Recently Torwin did a service replacement on part of my storm door - it was done really quickly, and they waived any service charges. They did a lot to improve my view of their customer service, and I would heartily recommend them for another job.

As everyone is aware there is always two sides to every story. Torwin was very accommodating to your needs and we did our very best to expedite the situation because of the sensitive nature of your situation-the break in. When we called you to schedule your installation, which we coordinated to have your product done RUSH with the manufacturer because of the break in, you told us you were going away on vacation and would not be back for the week we wanted to install. We then had your door installation scheduled for the day after you got back from your vacation. We made you aware that although your front door would be installed that day, we unfortunately could not have your storm door installed the same day and our installer would have to come back, at which time you opted to wait and have everything done at once and that would be at a later date. At the top of your contract the lead-time, which is in writing, states 5-8 weeks, not 4 weeks. Whenever we do an installation, we tell the homeowner that we will be there between 8-10 am. We give the homeowner a window of time just to ensure that: a) they know what time to expect us b) we give our installer’s enough time to get there with traffic or weather conditions. This does not mean that the job will take 2 hours by any means. The work you had done was done with a high of craftsmanship and quality by a certified carpenter. By attempting to finish the job in one day or into the evening, by which time it was extremely dark, for the sake of “respecting your time” may have affected the overall outcome and aesthetic appeal of your door, which Torwin would not sacrifice for the sake of finishing in 5 hours. Most homeowners are relieved to know that they are dealing a company like this. As well, we understand that you had to make arrangements to work from home, however many homeowners trust us to be there without supervision. We almost always have the homeowner’s keys and are there without them home. Many homeowners do not take time off work for us to be there. We are a company that does not sacrifice quality for time. We did forget the deadbolt on the storm door upon the order, which we apologized for. This was easily corrected as we picked one up the next day and rectified the situation ASAP. You mentioned that we were not respectful of your time, but we did have you into the office on two occasions, for two separate meetings, that we arranged around your schedule, which ultimately took time away from sales meetings. We are a company that has been in business for 22 years and never, in all our years of business, have we had such a hard time with a consumer. By no means do we blame you, but the miscommunication on both ends, created the situation we are faced with now with your quite unfair review of our company. We pride ourselves on having premium products and excellent service. We were extremely accommodating with your situation, including your payment method, which we were truly over understanding about and do not regularly do for our customers. Please feel free to contact us. We would be open to discussing this with you further, as we do not want your Torwin experience to be in any way negative.
