Steve (The Window Guy) Brager, Sales and Production
The face, the heart and the soul of the company. Steve spends every day consulting with homeowners about their projects and managing the entire production process… from completing the materials order at the sale all the way through to scheduling installs and managing job site activity with install crews. If you know him from his pre-window selling days you might call him BIG CITY or maybe just CITY for short.
His Why? He truly loves to help people make their homes better. Taking a project from an idea into a finished product is the best. Even replacing a room full of windows changes the feel of a home. It’s awesome.
When he isn’t at work you’ll find him biking around the lakes with his little buddy Tessie, watching movies and enjoying a bowl of ice cream.
Favorite Cheeseburger? Straight up burger with cheddar cheese and raw onions.
Melissa Brager, Marketing and Operations
Steve’s biggest fan, and the “gal on the phone”. Melissa spends every day working to make sure every operational detail is taken care of to keep the sales pipeline moving forward and is the champion of any needed change to make the operation run more smoothly. She is also the voice of the company and the creative force behind all company marketing.
Her Why? She likes things to be done right. She loves taking any idea bringing it life… it can be as small as a checklist and as large as a website redesign. Being self-employed gives her the freedom and flexibility to be as generous with her time as needed to the people she cares about.
When She Isn’t At Work: You’ll find her at home baking, reading, or planning the next family adventure.
Favorite Cheeseburger? Not too greasy with a lightly toasted Brioche bun and topped with blue cheese and grilled onions. YUMMY!
Tessie Brager, “The Assistant”
We are more than happy to welcome Tessie in to the office this summer in a more official capacity. She has been assisting with entering appointments, updating our CRM, filing, putting together sales packets, collating install folders, pulling orders, auditing our sales board, and the zillion other things that come up during the course of the day. And if you’re wondering.. yes. She now has two different offices. One for work and one just to chill out in.
Her Why?
When She Isn’t at Work: You’ll find her scrolling Pinterest, listing to Taylor Swift, talking to her friends or playing hockey.
Favorite cheeseburger: She prefers chicken strips to cheeseburger. I know. But we love her and we’ll keep her.
This represents our installers. (Jeff, Donovan, Alex, Mike, Ramon, and Raul) The trailer is pulled by Jeff and his crew and the other guys drive different trucks. Our Siders, Roofers, and Gutter Installers also drive different trucks and they work so hard all summer that we would never get them all in a picture even if we tried.
Their WHY? They learned a trade. They recognized the value of trades early in their life, they worked hard at it and now they are happy to be sought after for the skill they provide. They do beautiful work. They love to walk away from a job and see the improvements that they made… with their own hands.
When they aren’t at work… From what I can gather, these guys are a mixed bag. There is a lot of fishing and ice fishing and hunting involved. They are family guys so there is also a fair amount of soccer games and cookouts in their lives.
Favorite Cheeseburgers? Hmmmm. You decide.
