It’s hard to imagine a feature more important to your home than the windows. Windows are functional, letting in light and keeping the elements out, but they should also be beautiful , for they truly are the “eyes” of the home. Windows let us look out onto the world from our homes, let us watch the season change and provide a home with light and warmth.

In the past, there were only a couple of options for materials for windows, aluminum or wood. Aluminum windows dent, are hard to maintain and may be functional, but are not very attractive. Painted wood windows can look better, but require lots of hours of maintenance. Paint chips off and looks ragged and has to be redone, and houses settle, causing cracks and spaces that wind, rain, dust, insects, heat and cold get in through.

That’s just a few reasons why vinyl replacement windows are the fastest growing trend in home improvement. Vinyl replacement windows are custom made to fit your windows exact measurements, and are practically maintenance free. They look beautiful; they come in a variety of styles and colors. And because they are custom fit and so well made, they are Energy Star certified and can qualify you for up to $200 in tax credits.

Congratulations on being chosen 1st Prize winner in the 2005 The Home Remodelers Group Internet Sweepstakes!

How long have you lived in North Brunswick?

11 Years

How long have you been married?

We have been married 11 years

What are your occupations?

I am registered nurse and my husband has a construction company.

Do you have kids?

We have a son who is a police officer in our town.

How did you feel when you heard that you had won a home improvement prize valued up to $5,000?

I must admit I was skeptical when I was first told I had won something that big but I am glad my skepticism was not justified.

You had your choice of prizes: Cabinet refacing, Siding or Roofing – what made you chose Windows as your prize?

We chose windows because we had just put new siding on our house and also put in a new kitchen.

You had 11 double hung Windows installed – what was the installation process like?

We were very pleased with the whole process that we had and our window man Brian Donovan did a fine job.

Would you recommend The Home Remodelers Group to family and friends?

I would recommend Home Remodelers to other people - we are very pleased with the job they did.

Where were you born and raised? What is a favorite memory of childhood?

I was born in Newark and raised in Irvington, NJ, “The All American Town”. The thing I remember most was my family’s unity. My parents were always there for us. There were 4 kids, my dad worked two jobs and my mother took care of us. They made sure we got a good education and a solid foundation to build our lives on.

When did you start your own business, The Home Remodelers Group?

In 1964. We have been providing quality home improvement services to NJ homeowners for the past 40 years.

How have you seen the company grow and change over the years?

Nowadays, with computers and the internet, our customers are more educated and business savvy about their choices. They do their research, they get multiple bids. Our customers are able to tell right away that we are a solid, reputable company in an industry that can have many unscrupulous, fly-by-night operators. We’ve been around for 40 years, we back our products and services, and we care about a job well done. More and more families are choosing to improve and invest in their homes. They want a company they can rely on. We are meeting that need.

What is most important to you in your profession?

Customer service and satisfaction. The customer drives our business. We take pride in the quality of our work; we can assure our customers that we will be here for them in the future. It is important to me that we are helping people realize their dreams for the place they call home.

When did you start your radio show with WOR? What is your favorite part of doing the show?

I started my own show on WOR in May 2001. I love helping people solve their home improvement problems, sharing my experience with them, giving them the knowledge they need to make wise decisions concerning their home.

You receive hundreds of letters from your customers expressing how satisfied they are with the work of The Home Remodelers Group. Do you see a common thread in their comments to you?

It gives me great satisfaction to read those letters and know that we have done our job for our customers with courtesy, skilled workmanship, and integrity. I have customers that I have known for many years and I am honored that they keep coming back to us for their home improvement needs. They know they can trust me and my company to do our very best for them.

Jerry, I understand this is a family business and that your son Marc now runs the day to day operations of the business. You must be very proud. What is the most important aspect of this legacy to you?

Continuity of service. Knowing that the work I have started will continue. Marc is a very bright guy with a degree in law and finance. He is my partner in the business, and it makes me very proud that my son shares the same values I do in his dedication to our customers.

In a industry where 80% of companies fail in three years, you have maintained this company for 40 years. How have you survived?

By doing the right thing. By focusing on three things: customer satisfaction, quality service, value and quality in our products.

I like the company slogan, “Large enough to serve all of our customers, yet small enough to care.” Why is that particular slogan the one you want your customers to remember about The Home Remodelers Group?

It sums up the things I care about the most: One on one personal service and quality work. You can go to a big chain store, see a beautiful home improvement display, sign a contract. Then you have a problem, go back to the store, the person who sold you the products are gone and you have no one to talk to. We have the ability deliver professional work and quality products, without ever losing our personal touch.

As your company continues to grow, what are your goals for the future?

We look forward to adding new product lines to expand the options available to our customers. Growing our company by expanding into new territories but wisely and slowly, never at the expense of quality and customer service.

In closing, is there anything you would like to say to your customers?

Thank you, to our customers past, present and future. There are few things in life more personal and dear than the place you call home. We appreciate being the company you trust to make the home improvements you dream of a reality.
