Who is Kolbe Windows & Doors?

Kolbe Windows and Doors excel on the legacy of Herb and Ervin Kolbe, two brothers who began a humble business of repairing and building windows and door frames. Their little shop started in 1946 in Marathon, Wisconsin, and continued to grow thanks to their hard work and steadfastness. 

Today, over seven decades later, Kolbe is a nationally recognized leader in the window and door industry. Their broad range of quality products is available through hundreds of retailers across the United States, Canada, and further. While the business has outlived its founding members, the sense of family and commitment to their local employees still holds. Kolbe is now run by Judi Gorski, the daughter of Herb Kolbe, and Jeff De Lonay, who started as a laborer over thirty years ago.
