“Lifetime warranty”

Doug S.
7/7/21

Who knew this was for real? A couple of handle cranks for casement windows installed in 2009 broke so I contacted Rita in customer service who sent me replacements. None of the usual warranty hassles that one gets from other companies. Clera's an outstanding example of the way companies should behave.

“1 star is too many”

My order consisted of 4 windows and 1 Garden Door. Total price paid was $8,420.00. Wrong size Garden door was $3,100.00! It has leaked since the day of installation, frost on interior, rain comes in through the bottom... screen does not slide, all screws have rusted and broken off. Very hard to open and close. I was completely ripped off. The "fix" was they came and glued a piece of felt where they thought most air was coming through... Stay away from this cheap garbage, they will not fix anything after the fact. I soon will start a twitter and social media campaign to warn as many people as I can. Cornwall Ontario is my location

Consulation re new door was quick and well done with excellent results. Took 5 months to get the door but I did realize there was a ongoing pandemic and winter. Insulation was very well done by young men well versed in their profession. The insulters where very congenial very respective of our home and willing to answer any questions we had in a repective manner. I would recomend this team of clera windows to friends and family. I love our new door.

Had my windows replaced by Clera.
It was such a pleased experience, from meeting with Alan to the installation of the windows. They were polite, clean, friendly.
Im very happy, thank you.

The whole time dealing with Clera has been an ordeal... Delays getting the windows, messy install and now have warranty issues that they wont address.

Clera quoted me about 20% lower than the closest competitor - and we are so thrilled with the look of our new windows.

Helped our resale value quite a bit. Thanks again guys!

Clera, servicing the Kingston area were great from quote to install. I'm very happy with the product as well. Seems like a lot of bad reviews here which I'm quite surprised with.

Took a chance on Clera windows and was originally happy, even though they were expensive... Then started having lots of problems with quality of the windows... Live and learn, that's for sure!

We were very satisfied the way André worked. He was clean and efficient. He knew what he was doing and what was needed. The price and quality of the windows is 2nd to none. We had freezing temperatures and we couldn't feel the cold at the windows. Keep up the good work. R. B.

I needed a replacement crank for my four year old window. When I called the company they said they could send out a replacement part for free. I agreed and thought that was great. The next email I got from them asked that I go to Home Stars and give a review. Since this seemed to go well I gave a positive review. Boy was that a mistake. I first contacted them on June 3rd - now, over a month ago.
When the piece didn't arrive after two weeks I emailed to follow up and was told they would be shipping the piece the following week, they said it was shipped June 26th by Canada Post. On July 7th I emailed again to follow up becz at the point it was six days since they said it was shipped. A few more back and forth emails to see if I received the piece - the answer was always no.
I see the others reviews from unsatisfied customers, and figure they give you the run around and and hope that you will just give up and go away.

Damages INSIDE the two panes of several windows, improperly installed bathroom window, no consultation with us beforehand about problem with install, damages in the house itself, promises broken, denial about what was said and promised, the two largest windows iimproperly finished, installation took more than twelve weeks after being told 6-8 weeks, draft from living room windows, this company takes your money and runs, no accountability whatsoever, take your business ANYWHERE but here!

I never write poor reviews but in this case I have to say dealing with Clera windows has been disappointing from start to finish. Wish I read the reviews here first. Lesson learned.

Clera did a great job installing our 2 new doors - they were efficient, friendly and detailed. They also took the time to ensure that I understood how the new locks worked. Great service!

Mike our sales rep was awesome to deal with - quick at replying and thorough in his explanations. The spray foam insulation made a huge difference. Thank you!
