- Experience
-
Along with my wife and our cousin Bill we have owned and operated Window Works since 1982. This is our 4th decade together working our craft,
sharpening our skills and broadening our knowledge week after week, year after year. Each day we discover what’s new in awnings and window treatments and we love facing challenging new installation and design challenges.
Think you have a sun or rain problem, call us; we have likey come across it along our journey and have the right solution for you. If we dont, we will tell you so.
- Expertise
-
A Danish physicist, Neils Bohr said: “An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in his own narrow field”.
We love this quote and if you too have also spent many years in a profession you may be smiling and nodding right now. Think about it, together the 3 of us have earned expert status in our field through every single loyal customer we have serviced.
And, as valuable, our staff represents many years of Expertise too. Jim has been an installer with us since 1994, Carlos has been an installer with us since 2007 and Kimberly graduated with a degree in Interior Design in 2007 and is with us since 2008.
Adriana interned with us as a college student in 2013 and quickly thereafter joined us fulltime as our showroom coordinator. When we say Expertise, we exemplify it from owner to team member.
- Excellence
-
While we are truly proud of our Experience and our Expertise, we are most proud of our Excellence. Why? Because being Excellent is a choice, it is a deliberate decision we make every day as a company.
It doesn’t just happen because we were here last year or last decade. We consciously decide to be Excellent in the way we treat you when you 1st call
Bergen Awnings, when we design the best solution for your application, when we install your products and when we welcome you back when you call again for your next project.
We are grateful for your business and we choose to express our gratitude to you by being Excellent in all of our dealings with you. We look forward to hearing from you and for the opportunity to show you we mean what we say.
