Replacement Windows

MILGARD COMPANY PROFILE

In 1958, Maurice Milgard, Jr. and his son Gary started Milgard Glass Company in a small building in Tacoma. Gary's brother, Jim, joined the company in 1961. Within a short time, the Milgards diversified into aluminum windows.

In 1962, Gary Milgard left the glass company to start a new aluminum window fabricating company called Milgard Manufacturing. The company's objective from the start was to provide a reliable source of quality aluminum vinyl replacement windows and doors. They had to be styled and crafted to meet the unique architectural requirements of the Western United States. Milgard's original commitment to quality and service has continued to be a key to the company's success.

Innovations in Aluminum and Vinyl Windows and doors Drive Growth

In 1968, Milgard Manufacturing started producing sliding glass doors. Two years later, aluminum frames were redesigned to fit both single-pane and insulating glass. The Milgards developed a type of aluminum frame that was suitable for cold weather areas where only wood frames had been effective. The year 1989 marked the introduction of the first Milgard windows with vinyl frames. WoodClad, a dramatic new line of fiberglass windows, was introduced in 1990.

Growth is the norm at Milgard. In addition to the Tacoma operation, the company now has window manufacturing plants in Marysville, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Las Vegas, Nevada; Sacramento, Hollister, Simi Valley, Temecula and Dixon, California; Denver, Colorado; Salt Lake City, Utah; Phoenix, Arizona; Chicago, Illinois; and our latest plant in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Expanding into Tempered Glass and Vinyl Extrusion

In 1980, Milgard Tempering, Inc. was started in Tacoma to respond to a demand for high quality tempered glass in the Northwest. In 1992 a second Milgard Tempering plant was opened in Dixon, California. Modern equipment and skilled employees have enabled Milgard Tempering to become one of the most respected tempered glass suppliers in the country.

Milgard Vinyl, located in Tacoma, began extruding quality frame material in 1988. A state-of-the-art extrusion and injection molding plant in Tacoma produces vinyl window and doorframe material and components for Milgard windows.

Employees Are the Key to Our Success

Milgard's history of growth and success is due to the dedication of our employees. Our more than 4,500 employees work hard each day to deliver high quality products and superior customer service. In fact, both of these are so important to Milgard that they're part of the Milgard Corporate Philosophy.

Milgard Philosophy

In Order To Be 'Clearly The Best' In Our Business, We Are Committed To These Principles:

• The Individual Must Be Respected.

• The Customer Must Be Given The Best Possible Service.

• Excellence And Superior Performance Must Be Pursued.

COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM

Milgard Community Action Team volunteers have set the standard in their communities for involvement in charitable events, fundraising, and community improvement activities.

As a team representing volunteerism at Milgard, we are committed to these principles:

• To Help Those in Need

  Whether it is individuals in the community or Milgard employees themselves, we are committed to putting our people and dollar resources to work for the good of others.

• To Inspire Volunteerism

  We wish to be a catalyst that inspires others at Milgard and in the community to become more involved in giving of themselves, their time, and their talents. Our involvement in activities reflects the interests and desires of Milgard employees in serving the community in which we live.

• To Care for the Greater Good of Others

  These things we do out of care and concern for others. We are proud to be able to give back to our communities and are thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in the areas that we live.

WHAT WE DO

Milgard's Community Action Team (MG/CAT) was created so that we, as Milgard employees, can actively give back to the communities in which we live and work. MG/CAT gives back in two ways. First, through volunteerism in our communities, and secondly, through monetary donations.

Each of our locations has designated MG/CAT committee members who organize our monthly MG/CAT events. Our monthly events encourage employee participation and each event benefits a targeted local community charitable organization. Some of our monthly events include: fundraisers, community beautification, elderly assistance, and special activities for underprivileged children.

MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM

Milgard as a company is involved in the donation aspect of MG/CAT through the creation of Milgard's Matching Gift Program. This program is designed to stimulate increased giving on the part of Milgard employees. It enables Milgard to support the same local charitable causes that our employees support. MG/CAT also allows Milgard employees to deduct funds from their paychecks and distribute them to a qualified community service organization of their choice. Milgard will match each of these monthly paycheck deductions up to an assigned amount per employee, per year. In addition, Milgard provides greater incentives for employee volunteerism by doubling the size of the matching gift when the employee has donated 50 or more hours of their time in the past 12 months to the same organization.

Fiberglass itself is nothing new. It's been floating boats and adding strength to ladders for years. But until recently, the complex profiles required for window designs such as bay windows have been impossible to attain with fiberglass. Milgard's R&D team faced this challenge and engineered a window and door system that's impervious to water, cold, heat, insects, salt air and ultraviolet rays. The end result: efficient fiberglass Windows and doors that maintain their beauty in every season, in any climate.

FIBERGLASS WINDOW CHOICES

Milgard gives you two distinctive choices when it comes to fiberglass Windows and doors: Ultra™ and WoodClad™. When you look at a Milgard Ultra series, you might think that it's painted wood. Or in the case of our WoodClad series, you might even think it's made out of solid Douglas fir.

Until recently, the complex frame components required for patio door designs were impossible to attain with fiberglass. But Milgard's R&D team changed all that by engineering French doors and French-style sliding patio door systems that are as attractive as they are weatherproof and durable. Their fiberglass components are up to 3 times stronger than wood and up to 8 times stronger than vinyl. It's a difference you'll appreciate for a lifetime.

REPLACEMENT WINDOWS ADD VALUE FROM EVERY PERSPECTIVE

If you're thinking about replacement windows or patio doors, there's no reason to wait. The benefits start immediately. From enhancing your home's interior to adding to its curb appeal, new Windows and doors transform a home from ordinary to outstanding.

Replacement Windows are Clearly the Best Investment

A recent national research study examined the cost of replacement windows in an average-sized home. They looked at how much the windows would add to a house's value if sold a year later. For the 15 major markets served by Milgard Windows, the average rate of the window replacement cost recouped was 91.6%. This 2002 research study, conducted by Remodeling magazine (a Hanley-Wood, LLC trade publication) utilized professional opinions of over 200 real estate agents and appraisers in the top remodel markets.
