Windows Adjusted Quick Response

All our windows and sliding doors were replaced by this company a couple of years ago. I just want to say that their service since has been excellent. I called Steve Mercer yesterday to tell him about a couple of minor issues, and he came right over today--in the rain--to fix it all up. No charge. Thanks Steve! You're as good as your word!

Thanks Lilian... you remember the old saying " you're only as good as your word"... this is very true. The three words our company is built on, and why we are recognized as amongst the best, are Quality Integrity Value. Every one of our clients are special and important to us... if not for you, we have no business... so being trust-worthy requires actions not just words!Steve

We were very satisfied with their work and pricing. They finished the work pretty fast and efficiently. They gave us a strong guarantee that made us feel satisfied that the work is complete. We would definitely recommend this company to others.

Hi and thank you for your feedback. Many companies want your work until they find out it's a small job. We know that sometimes people only need a small fix today but may need a larger job done down the road.... and who will they call? - the company that didn't despise small beginnings. That's our philosophy at Fortress Windows and Doors! Steve

New windows and internal doors

Steve and his team are excellent, always give a fair estimate on jobs and always ready to suggest alternatives or new ideas to make your new home stand out and improve that curb appeal. Most importantly Steve and his team were superbly efficient!! infact they installed before their due date so couldnt be happier with them. Hopefully we will partner for more projects in the future.

Basement egress window installed.

Steve and his team installed a window in our basement. They were efficient, polite and the installation went very smoothly. Afterwards, Steve followed up to make sure everything was to our expectations. They respected our home and kept their mess to a minimum, and everything was cleaned up after the job. The work was very good and completed on time. Would use again, and would recommend!

Thank you Gregory. The project at your home required some digging and a cut through your concrete foundation wall to install a new window into your basement living space. This type of work is quite specialized and requires a skillet that many companies just don't have. Thank you for your business. Steve

Windows and Patio Door Replacement

I've always recommended Fortress Windows to clients (great reputation by word of mouth). Now I have first hand experience to say that I would highly recommend Fortress Windows even more. Steve and team are professionals, responsive, very honest and lovely to deal with. Installation crew (Stan & Paul) were quick, clean, and friendly. The product is beautiful and works perfectly. Thank you for a job well done!

Fix lock on sliding patio door

Had a problem with the lock engaging on a patio door. Steve had been the installer years ago when he was working for another company. Got in touch with Steve and even though it was not a Fortress door, it was fixed fast with a level of courtesy and professionalism that is too rare these days.

Would definitely recommend them. Outstanding service.

Customer service is a vital part of our company mindset and culture. When people receive good service they feel valued and important - and they are. We are keenly aware that without our clients, we don't have a business let alone a successful one. Three words guide our company in all that we do - Quality, Integrity, Value because we know that when these three ingredients are braided together our clients will always be happy!.Steve

Front and Back Doors

We recently got a new set of front and back steel entry doors for our home from Fortress, and our experience with Fortress was very good from start to finish.

Our initial call was returned within a day and an appointment was scheduled for the very next day. Our doors were installed in less than a week after Steve came to our house to determine what we needed, which was a very impressive turnaround time especially because it was during the Christmas holiday time.

More importantly, we were extremely pleased with the quality of work and how they went above and beyond (like replacing our existing threshold cover). Everything was cleaned up after the work, and the doors look great.

We would definitely recommend Fortress to anyone looking for new entry doors!

Thank you Aidoneus for your comments. The turn around time for painted doors from most companies would be 4 to 6 weeks or more and we were able to do it in less than a week at peak rush season. The reason we were able to do this is because of the incredible relationships we have developed with our suppliers. We have always payed our suppliers on time every time so the trust and mutual respect is is there without question and when we need to call in a favour they are there for us.
Thank you for your business, we were pleased to help you out. Steve

Replace glass sliding doors

Paid out the deposit for the renovation. Within a week, I discovered both my fridge and stove in our new home needed to be replaced about three weeks before Christmas. Connected with the owners, they both were great..understanding and got on the phone to get my deposit back to us. Received my deposit! Thank you !!

Hello Irena, we are a company with high integrity. We had placed the order for a custom door for you and when you mentioned you were in a squeeze we immediately had the processing company for our credit cards reverse the charge and had them return the entire deposit to your credit card account. Our supplier required payment from us because it was a custom order. Returning your funds was a very simple procedure although it did take a number of business days for the funds to show up in your account which is completely beyond our control. I have no idea what we could have possibly done differently and am a little baffled as to why you gave us an 8 instead of a 10? Steve
