Hartmann’s Windows and Doors opened its own doors in 1996, and the nearly 30-year-old business has become a trusted supplier for homeowners, builders, designers and contractors.
“I was quite surprised and feel really good about it,” owner Greg Hartmann says about receiving the most votes in the Doors & Windows category.
The company specializes in vinyl windows, steel doors and fibreglass doors. Greg has made it his priority to source the best products that will perform for years and increase value, which includes making homes more efficient.
“I explain to customers what the advantages are by purchasing products through me, and how it will make a difference— from what they currently have and what they can expect in the future,” he says.
Greg’s customers tell him that they appreciate his experience and honesty, as well as his efficiency in responding to their questions. “It’s important to know who you’re dealing with. It always comes down to trust,” he says.
Greg has lived in Guelph his whole life and prefers to shop locally. He’s made many good friends through his years in business, and enjoys that he gets to see his work all over the city he grew up in.
“I take great pride in everything we do. It feels good when you drive through town and you can see the mark you’ve made on the community. It’s very rewarding,” he says.
One of the local projects that Greg is particularly proud of working on is at 1 Quebec Street, a historic building on a well-traversed road. He will be doing more work on it in the future as well.
As Greg says, it’s a big decision to pull your house apart and install new windows and doors. He enjoys getting to see so many beautiful homes in Guelph and being part of projects that impact the home’s value. But above all, he enjoys the experience of “meeting great people.” He greatly values his customers’ trust in him and he appreciates those who took time out of their day to vote Hartmann Windows and Doors a Reader Favourite.
“It’s hard to put into words because it does mean a lot. I appreciate the support.”
