Monday through Friday, I work hard every single day. I’m usually at the office by 6:00 in the morning and many nights I don’t leave until 9:00 or 10:00. Running a business means wearing a lot of hats. I handle the marketing, research, repairs, training, problem solving, scheduling, cleaning, and so much more. Every day is different, and every day requires effort.
But this weekend reminded me why all of it matters.
I got to spend real time with my family. I built a house for the iguana with my son, taught him new things, laughed with my kids, and spent quality time with my wife. Those moments are priceless. They are easy to overlook when you’re constantly trying to take care of everyone else, but they matter more than anything.
Owning a business while trying to be a good husband, father, friend, and provider is not easy. It takes a lot out of you. But both are worth fighting for.
What we do at Sliding Door & Window Repair Service Inc. is not something you learn in a classroom. There are no schools that teach this trade the way we practice it. Every technician who comes through our doors has to be trained not just how to repair something, but how to think critically and truly understand why the problem exists in the first place.
We don’t believe in quick fixes. We don’t just replace rollers or balances and move on. We take pride in restoring windows and doors so they work properly again; the same way I would want someone to do for my own family.
I truly love what I do, and every day I try to become better at it.
Tomorrow is Monday, and I’ll be back at the office at 6:00 AM doing my absolute best, just like always. I’m grateful for my family, my team, my friends, and every customer who trusts us enough to call or walk through our doors. I genuinely try to treat every person like they matter ; because they do.
Please remember to be kind to your service providers. Most of us are trying our hardest to do good work, support our families, and make life a little easier for the people we serve.
Thank you for supporting us, growing with us, and believing in us.
