    Replace 2 Windows in Family Room

    Found this place on Homestars and was surprised by the quality of service. The salesman was very attentive and called back many times to make sure we were happy. The gentleman who actually did the instal was meticulous, we really appreciated his attention to detail. If you are looking for quality, affordable windows give this company a call.

    Retrofit & Brick-to-Brick Custom Install in 1890 Victorian

    Over the past two years I had met with 6 window companies, many suggesting that what I wanted (i.e. saving an original stained glass section) was too difficult or not worthwile, and therefore I continued my search to find a company I could trust with the project that required a great level of care and attention to detail. Michael (salesperson) was excellent to deal with in every aspect. Very quick to respond to my queries or changes, and working through many unique obstacles to get the look we wanted. In the end, we are nothing short of thrilled. The installers Eugene and Vlad had everything finished in 2 days and cleaned up. This included custom bullnose sills, custom casing and corner rossettes, and maple plywood jigged to cover areas above the half circle windows, replicating the original interior design we hoped to acheive. We had all the front windows replaced along with the transom above the door. We also had one large window replaced in the back of the house, a glass insert put in the front steel door, with new hardware and magnetic weatherstripping. The windows were custom colour matched on the exterior. We've already recommended them to three neighbors who asked about our experience, and would continue to. Thank you Ambia!

    Replacement Windows

    After getting 5 Quotes for our window replacement we chose Ambia because thier project consultant Michael had the time and patience to answer all of our questions. He was more than helpful without being pushy. Ambias installers showed up on time and got right to work. Frank , Nic and Joe did a excellent job of replacing our windows. They used drop sheets in our house and did a excellent job of cleaning up afterwards. Michael showed up at the end of the job to see that everything was completed to our satisfaction. The windows were installed at the end of May and we already notice a difference. With the recent heat waves in Toronto our air conditioner is not constantly running as it was in previous years. We have also noticed the outside noise has all but disappeared. We would highly recommend.

    Window and Door Replacement

    In searching for an appropriate company to replace nearly 30 windows and 3 doors, Ambia was by far the most professional and patient company we interviewed to determine the optimal company to do the job. They provided value and service for what was an extensive job. Michael was extremely thorough and Eugene the installer was never satisfied unless we were. If there was something to be repaired, Eugene gladly took care of it, no matter how small the issue. In fact, when the original trim surrounding the back door of our 85 year old home could not be salvaged, Ambia did not replace with cheap trim as one would find in new developments, but rather purchased higher end wood and recreated the look and feel of the original trim at their cost. I would recommend Ambia to anyone who seeks integrity, patience and value from a contractor.

    Windows & Doors

    We found Mike and Tony at Ambia Windows & Doors to be very genuine and reliable folks to work with. They were fair in their pricing, the installation was prompt and well done, and the support post installation was very courteous. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to replace windows and doors. These guys provide an excellent product at a fair price, with good customer service. Gus

    Window replacement

    We are pleased to write a review for Ambia Windows. We have been looking to replace our Bow window for several months. We had several reputable companies come by and give us estimates. Ambia Windows quote came in similar to most others. We went with Ambia because of the product they had (not all windows are the same), the professional designations of their employees, their warranty, and their customer service. Michael was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and did not pressure us to make a decision. He gave us space and let us decide. He answered phone calls and emails promptly. The window installer, Frank, was also very professionaland efficient. The window was replaced well ahead of the proposed time frame and without any issues. A pleasant surprise! Afterwards, both Michael and Tony (the owner) called to ensure everything was done to our satisfaction. We are very impressed with Ambia. And over the next few years we will be renovating and replacing the other windows in our home, we will definitely be calling Michael and Ambia again. We have also been receiving many compliments from our neighbours about our new bow window.

    Brick to brick window replacement of 2 front windows and 2 bathroom windows

    I had a choice of two contractors to give me an estimate...a well known company or Ambia window. Both are highly rated in Homestars. I selected Ambia for the following reasons: (Contract date March 21/12) 1. Michael is a very knowledgeable salesperson. He knows his product inside and out. He is very personable, he arrived on time for his appointment and there was no hard sale (only the normal subtle pressure, which is to be expected). 2. The product that he is selling is Canadian-made, seems to be statistically superior to others in the market, and the life time warranty is great. Initial Inspection: 1. Eugene came on time to measure the windows. He was a quiet, personable man and very thorough... he assessed each window inside and out to make sure that he has the correct measurements. 2. He went through the contract to make sure that he undeerstands what is included...in our case the bullnose sill was included. Installation: 1. It was a cool and damp day when they installed my windows. 2. Eugene came with an assistant. 3. They both worked competently and covered my Japanese garden with a plastic sheet as I requested. Cloth sheets were placed strategically inside the house. 4. One of the bathrooms has a bathtub underneath the small window. The tub was covered while the assistant was working on it. 5. There was a problem with the frames for the front windows...the normal frames were too small. Eugene had to custom make wider frames for the windows. He took his time and the frames came out just perfect. Assessment of Work done: 1. There was a inch-long gash in the bathroom wall near the window (where the tub is) that was being worked on. It was very noticeable as the wall is yellow Considering the work being done...taking out the old window and putting in the new one as well as the fact that he was straddling the bathtub... I would say that an accident is to be expected. I can accept this minor problem and did not complain to them about it. 2. The major problem was the tidying up of the areas where they worked...on the roof of the garage, on the side of the house, and material that fell in the eavestrough. 3. As to the clean up ,I have to ask them to clean up again ....as there were still some remmants left. 6. As I believe that the work has to be rated on all aspects of the job, my satisfaction with the company is 4 but I will still recommend the company to relatives( with a caveat ) for a 5. 7. Total is 9.

    New Windows

    We needed new windows as we had originals. We qot quotes from numerous suppliers. Michael from Ambia was very competitive but more importantly a pleasure to deal with. No pressure or hardcore sale tactics. So we gave them the job. We got the windows installed 3 weeks ahead of schedule. They look great and they did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. Not sure what else we could add.

    New windows all round

    I replaced all the windows in my house and added a few additional ones as part of a larger renovation. My brother had recommended I get a quote from Ambia as he had selected them for his house and was very happy. I gathered quotes from three different companies and found the pricing to be broadly similar. However, Tony was by far the most professional and efficient of all the people I dealt with during this process (My contractor who was present at the house for the visits also gave him the thumbs up). Tony explained all the options and provided useful advice on what would work for my particular situation, covering everything from window sizes to colors to grills. Also, when comparing the different products I had the sense that the quality of the Vinylbilt windows exceeded that of the other manufacturers. So in the end, choosing Ambia was the obvious choice. After final measurements and order confirmation, Tony kept me well informed of my order status and contacted me a week before the delivery date to inform me how to prepare for installation day. On installation day, Frank and his team arrived right on time as promised. They worked neatly, efficiently and were also extremely professional - making sure everything was installed right and to my satisfaction. Absolutely no issues, and no problem with clean up. Of course, Tony followed up shortly after to make sure everything was ok. Everything is actually awesome and I would choose Ambia again without hesitation, although i'm pretty sure i'm not going to need new windows again for a long time! They are the model of how things should be done in the home renovation industry as a whole.
