Simcoe Glass & Mirror is encouraging people to ‘stick local.’

The local business had an opportunity to connect with the community at the Norfolk Home & Lifestyle Show at the CIBC Auditorium, Feb. 28-March 2, presented by The Simcoe & District Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Caradoc Townsend Mutual Insurance.

“This (Sunday) afternoon was actually the best out of all three days for us,” said Alan Werner from Simcoe Glass & Mirror.

A one-stop shop for new constructions and renovations, Simcoe Glass & Mirror features windows made mainly by Vinylbilt Windows and Stage Windows, and doors predominantly by MDL Door Systems and Gentek Storm Doors. All windows and doors are EnergyStar certified and all are made in Ontario – an important consideration for today’s consumers.

“We tried to find suppliers who have a competitive price, a good product, and a good warranty,” said Werner. “That’s what we have always tried to implement and who we represent.

“We also do table tops, all kinds of screen and sash repairs, thermal replacements for windows – if it’s broke or gets moisture between the glass, we can replace the thermal units. We do a lot of that. We do custom glass showers as well.”

Located at 46 Luscombe Drive, Simcoe Glass & Mirror primarily services Norfolk and Haldimand counties, and some areas of Brant.

Renovations often involve more than just one type of product or service, and local businesses have been known to share recommendations with their customers.

“The unique thing about our area here, is that a lot of the competition, like RONA, Turkstra Lumber, they will send business to us because there’s certain things that they don’t do… that we do. By the same token, we’ll do the same thing. We are not in the lumber business, but we’re into window and door repairs, so if they can’t find it, a lot of times we can fix it up.

“We all stick together on that. Let’s face it… stick local. If somebody else can do what you can’t do, I’m going to go ahead and refer to them. If you need windows, this is where you go. If you need a garage door, here is where you need to go. Or if you need plumbing, that’s where you need to go. Let’s go and keep it local, because they are the ones who are going to look after you down the road. That is important.”
