Landmark Exteriors is a family-owned and operated company built on the same values you hear about in the best family businesses. Our story began in 1992 when our father, Stu, founded the company with a simple but powerful philosophy: “Treat the customer’s house like it’s our house, and everything else will take care of itself.” That principle continues to guide everything we do today.
Over the past 30+ years, we’ve grown alongside our community and weathered many challenges—from economic downturns and the events of 9/11 to the financial crisis of 2008 and the uncertainties of the COVID-19 era. Through it all, our commitment to our customers has never changed. We believe in showing up on time, keeping our word, and delivering quality work that homeowners can trust.
Our longevity isn’t just about staying in business—it’s about building relationships and earning trust, one home at a time. Generations of customers have relied on us because they know we treat every project with care, respect, and attention to detail, just as if it were our own home. That dedication has been the foundation of our success and continues to shape who we are today.
