McVay Brothers Inc., a longtime Spokane Valley-based supplier and installer of siding and windows, says its building a larger complex there to accommodate its growth and plans to move into that facility this spring.
The project includes the construction of two warehouses and an office structure, at 11420 E. Montgomery Drive, says Mike McVay, president and owner at McVay Brothers. A two-story, 6,400-square-foot office building has been completed, and work on a 15,000-square-foot warehouse and a 1,200-square-foot warehouse is expected to wrap up by April, McVay says.
Vandervert Construction Inc., of Spokane, is the design-builder for the more than $1 million project, he says.
The combined 22,600 square feet of new office, showroom, and warehouse space will be more than double the 10,200 square feet of space that the company has in the two buildings at its current location at 3106 N. Argonne, where it has been since 1957.
McVay Brothers has 75 employees, and it plans to hire more after the move, McVay says. The company installs siding, windows, roofing, and gutters, and sells windows and siding wholesale to customers in Washington and Idaho, he says. He declines to disclose its revenues, but says they have doubled since 2002.
At its new location, McVay Brothers will have a showroom that contains small houses that feature its products, he says. The additional space will allow the company to increase its inventory and, hopefully, boost its sales, he says.
Mark McVay, Mikes brother and vice president of sales and marketing at Spokane-based Cascade Windows, recently bought the warehouse and office building that McVay Brothers currently occupies, and probably will lease out that space, Mike McVay says.
McVay Brothers was formed here in 1955. It sold its window-manufacturing division to Cascade Windows, then called Window Products Inc., in 2002. After the sale, Mark McVay left his position as president of McVay Brothers and joined Cascade Windows. Mike McVay then became president and sole owner of the company, he says.
