Rebuilding Together Richmond Partners with Richmond Window for National Rebuild Day
On National Rebuilding Day, 27 Richmond Window employees participated with the over 1,000 volunteers in the greater Richmond Area to revitalize homes for homeowners of need.
“[Service in the community] is huge for us. We have been in the community since 1954, and this community has gotten us this far, so we try to do everything we can to give back,” said Page Ewell, CEO of Richmond Window Corp.
“In the last couple of years we’ve really been more hands-on out in the community and it’s such a great thing we’re doing now. We’re totally changing Ms. Miller’s house: putting in new windows, cleaning out basement, fixing up porches, building a deck, cleaning out her yard — it’s just wonderful everything we’re able to do here.”
Our National Rebuild Day projects for Ms. Miller’s house included replacing all the windows, repairing her porch to code compliance, repairing handrails, decluttering items and fire hazards from the basement and rear sheds, installing insulation underneath the house, clearing and cleaning the backyard of invasive plants, and cosmetic touch-ups at the request of Ms. Miller and her family.
Window Replacement Day and Renewal by Andersen Certified Master Installers
Renewal by Andersen Certified Master Installers, Rodney Carden and Stevie Davis, skillfully headed the window replacement projects for Ms. Miller’s property.
Speaking to Richmond Window’s approach to window and door replacement as a Certified Master Installer, Stevie Davis said, “The most important thing is making sure they’re installed properly, doing it with care, and making sure everything is the way it should be — take care of [their house] like it was my own.”

Community Projects and Who We Are
