About Us
Experience. Expertise. Excellence.
These are not empty words that we carelessly toss around. We mean them. We live them. We are them.
Experience.
We’ve been family-owned and operated since 1982—honing our craft, sharpening our skills and broadening our knowledge for decades. Think you have a problem window? Give us a call. We’ve probably come across a similar issue and have the right solution.
Expertise.
It’s been said that an expert is someone who has made all the mistakes that can possibly be made in their own narrow field. If you’ve also spent many years in the same profession, you probably understand. We’ve earned expert status in our field through our interactions with each and every customer.
Excellence.
Being excellent is a deliberate decision we make every day as a company. We consciously decide to be excellent in the way we treat you when you first call, when we design your window treatments and awnings, when we hunt for the perfect fabric or wallpaper to complement your home, when we install your products and when we welcome you back for your next project.
We look forward to hearing from you, and for the opportunity to show you that we mean what we say.
