Marcus Ridgely, owner of Window Replacement Systems Inc., which also does business as Northwest Window & Door, has bought a 16,600-square-foot, single-story building at 12015 E. Trent and plans to move the company there from smaller quarters at 12018 E. First.
Ridgley says the business will operate solely under the Northwest Window & Door name at the new location, which he hopes to open by June 1.
The 10-year-old company originally focused on replacing residential windows, but has expanded beyond that, he says.
“The business has grown, and we’ve added more products,” Ridgley says. “Were getting into new construction, and we’ll be getting into commercial storefronts.”
Northwest Window & Door handles a high-end line of Marvin-brand wood-framed windows and multiple brands of vinyl windows, he says.
The Trent Avenue facility will have four times the floor space as the current facility on First Avenue, Ridgely says.
It will have room for a fabrication shop for the commercial storefront aspect of the business, he says.
Northwest Window and Door currently has 10 employees.
“Were hoping to add a couple of salespeople and a couple of project managers over there,” he says.
Doug Byrd, of Byrd Real Estate Group LLC, and Joe Westenskow, of Real Estate Marketplace Northwest Inc., handled the transaction.
