In 1987, founder Greg Grabill contracted his first window and door job on a handshake. He was a young craftsman from Michigan, who- while quite talented- had never actually built a window or door. While most would shy away at the thought of diving into uncharted territory, Greg was confident that he could engineer and build the windows and doors to the client's exact specifications. It's safe to say the rest is history. Today-nearly 30 years later- Grabill products now adorn some of the most exclusive homes in North America, and the company has evolved from a small garage operation to a nearly 38,000 square foot manufacturing facility here in Almont, Michigan.
Our Traditional Wood product line captures the spirit of the past, as our team crafts historically accurate single, double or triple hung windows with either a weight & pulley or concealed spring balance operation. An all wood solution allows the flexibility to create custom profiles unique to each individual project. Many of our techniques used for preservation projects are the same techniques that were originally performed, making our work authentic and true to the time period. While we rewind time in regards to product design, we fast forward with product engineering, as our double-hung carries a DP50 rating, and testing values from our multiple glazing options far exceed the original single pane windows' performance values.
