About Justin
When I am not in the office, you will find me at the local theatre watching my daughter perform in musicals, traveling around with my son’s hockey team, and going on a long bike ride with my wife through the beautiful Chicago area.
Matt Slowiak
Procurement/IT Manager
About Matt
I’ve been in the Window & Door industry for over 25+ years. I’ve labored on job sites, loaded/unloaded trucks, sales, purchasing, just to name a few things. I just recently had my 10 year anniversary with Next Door & Window as the Procurement & IT Manager. I truly enjoy innovating new systems and procedures at our office. Always trying to improve upon things we currently do, I am never satisfied.
When I’m not at the office you generally can find me at a table somewhere playing/teaching a strategic board or card game. Often I’m trying to convince my co-workers that we have enough time to play one during our lunch break
I love spending time with wife and daughter. It’s no secret we enjoy visiting Walt Disney World in Florida & my family in Denver.

About Justin
I started working in the home improvement industry when I was 9 years old and have spent the last 30+ years constantly learning how to deliver a better customer experience. Home Improvement has always been my passion. I have OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which means I feel the need to check things repeatedly and perform rituals over and over. Through the years our company has taken on this culture of obsessing over the details for our customers to always strive to provide the best experience possible.When I am not in the office, you will find me at the local theatre watching my daughter perform in musicals, traveling around with my son’s hockey team, and going on a long bike ride with my wife through the beautiful Chicago area.
