With more than 40 years of experience in home improvement, Justin Bartley has built his career on a simple but powerful belief: every homeowner deserves exceptional craftsmanship and a team they can trust. As the owner and founder of NEXT Door and Window, Justin brings decades of hands-on expertise and an unwavering passion for helping customers protect, beautify, and invest in their homes. His journey began on the south side of Chicago, where he got his start installing and servicing garage doors — learning the trade from the ground up and developing the hands-on work ethic that still defines NEXT Door and Window today.
Justin’s commitment to building a company the right way has earned NEXT Door and Window some of the most respected recognitions in the industry. The company has been named a Crain’s Chicago Business Best Workplace multiple times — a testament to the culture of excellence, respect, and opportunity that Justin has worked hard to cultivate from the ground up. That same dedication to integrity earned NEXT Door and Window the prestigious BBB Torch Award for Ethics, one of only six to ten businesses recognized each year from a field of over a hundred vetted nominees.
Holding a Bachelor of Science from Northern Illinois University and an MBA from St. Xavier University, Justin pairs real-world trade experience with strong business acumen. He is a passionate advocate for the skilled trades in America and dedicates significant time to training and coaching the next generation of home services professionals, believing that investing in people is the foundation of any great company.
That same spirit of investment extends to the communities NEXT Door and Window serves. Justin is a proud supporter of Habitat for Humanity, donating windows and doors each year to help families build stronger, more independent lives. He also champions the Sheilah A. Doyle Foundation, a local nonprofit providing camp experiences and grief resources to children ages 7–17 who have lost a parent or sibling to homicide — a cause close to his heart.
When you work with NEXT Door and Window, you’re not just working with a contractor — you’re working with someone who genuinely cares about your home, your family, and the community you share.
