Abby Windows has experienced exponential growth in terms of gross sales and lead generation, and is one of the few woman-owned home improvement companies. The company provides exterior remodeling, including windows, doors, siding, roofing, gutters, soffit/fascia and attic insulation.
Abby Windows is headquartered in Milwaukee, and licensed in Wisconsin and Massachusetts.
The team at Abby Windows is made up of home renovation specialists. They not only know the products, but also the installation process and are adept at problem solving.
According to company owner Abby Binder, finding qualified employees is currently the biggest obstacle to growth, and Abby Windows recently began recruiting employees from out of state.
Binder plans to expand services to the Madison area in 2019 and is currently hiring new employees to assist in that growth.
“Lenders are loosening up and people are borrowing money again,” Binder said. “It allows for more income brackets to do exterior remodeling, including more millenials.”
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
“The best advice I ever received is to always do the right thing. It applied to everything in life and I have applied it to my business. I feel if you take care of customers and keep them happy, it will come back tenfold.”
– Abby Binder, owner.
