History
Hank Foster is the founder and owner of Portofino Fine Doors and Windows. He started the company in 1989 in Santa Barbara, Ca. Hank had ideas and designs as well as finishing techniques. But there was no source for anything like this. We didn't want to compromise by offering only what window companies were building, so it became necessary to go out on his own and develop our niche. Portofino began by partnering with select custom window and door manufacturers around the country that had the know how and willingness to build to our specifications. Then we established our own in house finish studios where the windows and doors are transformed into furniture quality works of art. Through the years we have evolved into the premier source for exotic, one of a kind door and window packages that offer function, style, and low maintenance durability. Our prices are good and there is never a charge for design ideas and consulting.

Reviews

Extremely unprofessional, unethical company...avoid them at all cost! The owner of Portofino and his sale associate are as dishonest as they come. They told us to CHILL when we confronted them...

This company is struggling unfortunately. They shorted us two doors on a $100,000 order and never supplied them or refunded us the $2000 we paid for them. Similar situation with another contractor...
It is unfortunate the owner does not stand behind his own product. We spent $200K on French doors and windows, including custom screens, made by Portofino for all the French doors and windows....
I have never dealt with a more unprofessional company in my life. I am building a 5,000 square foot custom house and placed an order for over $300,000 in custom windows through this company. I...
