OUR RED-CARPET EXPERIENCE

Many people suffer from old, leaky, drafty windows and doors because the process can be overwhelming. Often, other companies are using high pressure tactics making customers and salespeople uncomfortable.

We believe in an educational style, so we help our customers choose options that are best for them. We put in effort to develop a totally different approach to the window and door buying process. At Next Door & Window our entire team believes that the process should not be stressful or confusing

When you work with our team you will learn that we go above and beyond to help people find their perfect doors and windows without being pushy, and that we treat our customers with respect and appreciation.

As a family-operated business, we strive to provide a world- class customer experience every time! That is why we offer multiple products, custom paint and stain options, expert installation, industry – leading warranties and great service, both externally and internally.
