The Window Classics Story 

Pre-hung doors were a novelty back in 1958 when Al DeSauntis moved to sunny South Florida from Massachusetts to start Jiffy Door Company. Starting in a single warehouse bay just off Dixie Highway in Hallandale, Al was the first “pre-hanger” in Broward County and one of the first in all of Florida.

Today’s Window Classics is the continuation of that original company, which has steadily evolved over the years through various mergers and acquisitions. One of these occurred in 1978 when Bob Smith and Ray Stout formed Nandoor Corp. and purchased Jiffy’s assets and use of the Jiffy name, and continued the door business in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. In 1980, the company added wood windows to its product offering. 1984 was significant as the decision was made to expand the wood windows part of the business, with new emphasis on sales and marketing.

Integral to the success of expanding the wood windows product offering in’84 was the opening of the company’s first branch showroom located in Miami-Dade. It was also the beginning of a fitting new company name as Joe Garcia joined the organization and Window Classics, Inc. was formed.

Later came Palm Beach Window Classics and Window Classics of Central Florida as   management expanded the company’s services to other areas of the state. During this time, the company added several wood window and door manufacturers to their roster.

In 1992, the various companies were consolidated into Window Classics Corporation after receiving the highly coveted exclusive distributorship for Marvin Windows and Doors, a leading manufacturer. Window Classics has since added branches in Tampa and Bonita Springs to those in Miami, Hollywood, West Palm Beach, Orlando, and Sarasota to become a premier resource for wood windows throughout Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America, and Venezuela. 

Window Classics’ new headquarters, showroom, and warehouse facility is located just west of Interstate 95 within Seneca Industrial Park on Hallandale Beach Boulevard in Pembroke Park. The modern center provides ideal access to South Florida’s two major airports, thus facilitating prompt service to the company’s growing international client base.
