Quality, value, trust

Mimi Vanderhaven • March 9, 2026

Big enough to offer high value, but small enough to provide personal service, the locally owned Empire Window Company checks all the boxes.

For 66 years, Empire Window Company has offered high-quality replacement windows in wood, vinyl, and fiberglass, plus professional installation.


When it comes to choosing a home improvement company, there is a sweet spot: big enough to earn volume discounts from suppliers so you don’t overpay, and small enough that you get personal attention and aren’t just a number. You also want the company you choose to be established enough that you trust it will be there for you in the future, yet not so entrenched that it isn’t willing to embrace new trends and technologies.


When it comes to windows, siding, and entry doors, Empire Window Company checks all the right boxes.


Empire has served thousands of homeowners over its 66 years, yet it remains a locally owned company offering personal service. It hasn’t been absorbed by a national chain or taken over by a private equity firm.


“Even though we’ve been around for almost seven decades, we’re still a family-owned business,” says owner Bill Gartner. “That’s why we invite you to ask around. We’ve been in business so long, chances are we’ve installed windows, doors or siding for someone you know.”


High Value/Peace of Mind

With Empire’s large buying power and the longevity of its vendor relationships, the company can purchase materials at lower prices than others. “Our suppliers know us and trust us,” Bill adds. “Those relationships translate into lower prices for us and, therefore, lower prices for our customers.”


Being in the sweet spot also means feeling comfortable with who you’re dealing with. In other words—trust. “If we say we’re going to do something, we do it,” Bill says. “Our warranties mean something because our customers know we’re going to be around to honor them.”

Younger, untested companies may offer a warranty, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be around in the future. It’s about peace of mind.


Quality Products and Installation

Despite its longevity, Empire remains cutting-edge. “We stay on top of product and installation technology, and we’re always pursuing continuing education,” explains Bill. “We offer high-quality wood, vinyl, and fiberglass windows—in a multitude of colors—with options like Super Spacers or triple-pane glass.”


But a quality product is not enough. Proper installation is also essential.

“Our crews are specialists in their craft. When you purchase windows from us, you can expect an elite window and door installation team. When you purchase siding, you’ll get our experienced siding installers. Everyone here is professional and we have some of the best installers in the business.”


Bill should know. He’s one of the few window company owners who actually worked as an installer.


High-Quality Siding/Gutters

Proper installation is also essential for siding. “Anyone can slap siding on a house, but doing it right is an art,” says Mark Polomsky, Empire’s Director of Operations. “There are common mistakes our crews avoid thanks to ongoing training that keeps them up to date on the latest techniques and industry standards.” 


“Even if you don’t need siding, now is a good time to make sure your gutters are flowing freely,” Mark says. “We offer free gutter cleaning with the purchase of gutter guards, and we can install brand new seamless gutters.” For a limited time, homeowners can receive free gutters with the purchase of your full whole-house siding project.


Patio and Entry Doors

Attractive, well-functioning doors are the finishing touch for many exterior home improvement projects. One of Empire’s most popular brands is ProVia, headquartered in Sugar Creek, Ohio. “These are top-quality entry doors, French doors, and sliding patio doors,” Mark explains. “They offer hundreds of options and glass styles. Or you can give us a paint swatch, and we’ll match it.”


Empire Window Company serves all of Northeast Ohio from its headquarters in Solon. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call 440-232-1550 or visit EmpireWindowCompany.com
