Pella for Innovative Products<br />
and Exclusive Support<br />
<strong>Houston</strong>’s booming housing market is<br />
creating a crunch for builders who<br />
specialize in custom and semi-custom<br />
homes, sending them searching for<br />
suppliers and partners who understand<br />
the unique challenges of the industry.<br />
One of the most important materials a<br />
builder sources for a homeowner is the<br />
windows and doors — a product that has<br />
the potential to make or break a timeline,<br />
budget, or customer confidence.<br />
That’s why more and more builders are turning<br />
to Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> for solutions<br />
that serve their homeowner’s needs. “We’re<br />
committed to providing an exceptional<br />
experience for builders and finding new ways<br />
to make their work easier,” said Agnes Smithey,<br />
new ownership partner at Pella Products of<br />
<strong>Houston</strong>.<br />
Agnes and Eric Smithey joined Principal Owner<br />
Michael Reed at Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong><br />
in 2021, bringing 30+ years of industry<br />
experience to the team. Since then they have<br />
rolled out a new program for builders that<br />
includes training and support through the<br />
exclusive Pella Certified Contractor Program,<br />
as well as white-glove service at the job site.<br />
In addition to its existing product lineup, Pella<br />
Corporation recently made two significant<br />
acquisitions: Bonelli and WinDor. These<br />
additions further enhance Pella’s already<br />
extensive portfolio, allowing homeowners and<br />
builders to choose from an even wider range<br />
of window and door options. Whether it’s the<br />
timeless elegance of a single-hung window,<br />
the functionality of a sliding patio door, or<br />
the contemporary appeal of a bi-fold door,<br />
Pella has a solution to suit every style and<br />
preference.<br />
Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> has seen significant<br />
demand for its products and services, and<br />
its new experience center delivers. Visitors<br />
can explore a wide range of Pella products,<br />
including windows and doors of various styles<br />
and designs - displaying exceptional design<br />
and craftsmanship from single and doublehung<br />
windows to patio doors, casement and<br />
awning windows, multi-slides, bi-fold doors<br />
and windows, hinge doors, and pivot doors.<br />
It is also a space where clients can meet with<br />
the Pella team, ensuring personalized attention<br />
and tailored solutions.<br />
“We often hear that our state-of-the-art<br />
experience center is a game changer for<br />
our builders,” said Smithey. “Giving your<br />
homeowner a hands-on experience with the<br />
window and door selection builds trust in<br />
the products you’re putting in their home –<br />
and puts them in the driver’s seat during the<br />
selection process. So, they really understand<br />
how important their windows and doors are to<br />
loving their home for the long haul.”<br />
Proper installation is critical to performance,<br />
and Pella also offers professional installation<br />
services for single-family new construction,<br />
helping to alleviate labor shortage challenges<br />
for builders and ensuring a quality installation.<br />
With their award-winning products, limited<br />
lifetime warranty, and outstanding customer<br />
service, Pella Products of <strong>Houston</strong> is the<br />
