Our Factory

Factory Direct to You Since 1978.

What does “factory direct” mean exactly? It means that the company you’re dealing with has a factory of their own where their products are manufactured. The products are offered directly to you, the public, with no middleman, suppliers or dealers in the process, cutting out a whole layer of added costs. This means you can get cutting edge performance and technology without paying a premium price tag.

A middleman is a dealer who buys his product from suppliers or manufacturers. The middleman offers the product to the public after he has marked up the price. The middleman can take various forms, whether it’s a distributor, a wholesaler, a contractor, sales organizations or a clearance warehouse. The bottom line is the middleman comes between you and the factory, adding unnecessary layers of cost to you, and less accountability to them.

As always from marketing team to installation was professional, courteous and caring. The installation was excellent and cleanup was thorough. The quality and the warranty of the product are excellent. I love my new door. I highly recommend Gilkey Window Co.

I worked with Tom S. as my representative and Brian C. as my installer. I couldn’t have been more pleased with both sides of the experience. I reside in a home that was built in 1876 and I needed full replacement of 3 outside doors & door frames, I was not looking forward to the process.Gilkey was my 3rd effort at having someone come look at it. Should’ve been my first. The way Tom would make sure he understood everything I wanted, to fielding my calls when I had another question and not hesitating to ask someone (Brian) if he didn’t have an answer, along with great follow up.Brian C. was quite a talent. It was so refreshing to have someone work on your home that paid that much attention to detail, commitment to a well done job as if their own and preserving the aesthetic of a home built in 1876, incredible. Well done, Brian. Well done.Tom S. & Brian C. knocked it out of the park for me with every aspect of the project, especially when it seems so hard to find anymore. Thank you, it was a pleasure working with you both and Gilkey.

Back in October of 2022 we had a representative come out to give a free estimate. The pitch was very quick and not overly long like a competitor (Renewal), he answered all of our questions, and the rep was able to email us a quote that same day. Granted, we had to do some haggling on our part to get as good of a discount as we could squeeze.Regardless, the rep said it would take 20 weeks before the sliding patio door could be installed. Fast forward 20 weeks later, we got an email that our door was done but it didn’t end up getting schedule to be installed for another two weeks. So the wasn’t exactly right on the date, but close enough.Really, there were really only two negatives, which was the day before installation we got a call saying it had to be postponed one day due to staff shortages and vehicle problems. Since I work from home, it wasn’t a big deal. The other negative was on the day of installation the screen door was ready and we had to wait another week before that got installed. While I would have given one less star for that, Gilkey compensated us by upgrading the screen to the higher durable pet screen for free.John, who installed the door by himself, did a fantastic job from what we could tell. No issues as of yet. And Jason who installed the screen door did so very quickly.

Installed one glass wall & 2 sliding glass doors with screens on my patio at my condo. Quality work & design, but a long wait for installation & build.
