HodgesWindows & Doors
In a way, windows are often an “invisible” building feature. Most people ignore the frames and panes and instead focus on the sunny skies or driving rain on the other side. To the team at Hodges Windows & Doors, windows are the focus and have been driving the business for over 100 years.
In 1907, Albert B. Hodges Sr. started the company, specializing in weather stripping in windows, explained Mark Russow, president of Hodges Windows & Doors. The company evolved through the years, doing more insulation work in the 1930s and then expand- ing into storm window work in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1970s, replacement windows “came on strong,” according to Russow, and Hodges concentrated on that. Though the company works with some new construction, replacement windows and doors are Hodges’ specialty today. Hodges primarily serves residential clients in northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. One of Hodges’ most notable proj- ects is perhaps the most famous residence in the country — the White House. Hodges has installed glass in the White House bakery and storm windows in the private and guest residences. Hodges has also done installation for other high-profile government lead- ers in the Washington area. Hodges’ commitment to service is demonstrated by its 2012 Angie’s List Super Service Award and by its dedicated and expe- rienced employees. “Everybody has to start in the field so they can understand the business,” said Russow, who began his career at Hodges as an installer. “When you come to work here, you are pretty much a lifer,” he added. “I’ve been here 35 years, and some of the installers have been here longer than me.” Less than a year ago, Hodges moved to St. John Properties’ Ash- burn Technology Park in Ashburn, Virginia. “It’s a beautiful building in a very nice spot, and we knew we wanted to be in that general area,” Russow said. “St. John has a very good reputation in the industry, and it was highly recommended to us by the broker that we used to find the place,” he added. “It was just the right feel for what we were looking for.”
