Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1980.
What is your primary product or service?
Replacement windows, patio doors, entry doors and storm doors.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I began working as a window installer while I was still in high school. I then started a company that installed windows for a number of different contractors including Sears and Montgomery Wards. I eventually started selling directly to homeowners and phased out the installation for other contractors.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
No high pressure sales tactics or pricing gimmicks. We give you our best price up front. If a company can afford to give you hundreds of dollars off a window - they were trying to rip you off initially.
No subcontractors or day laborers - all the installations are completed by our "full-time" employees.
