Shades of Greatness

At just 12 years of age, Jim Servies, CEO and

President of WindowPros, was already working

in the window coverings industry, helping his

family install window treatments. During his days in the

retail business, working for large department and home

improvement stores, Jim — along with colleague Mike

Ballerini, now Vice President of WindowPros — noticed a

trend: the market for hard window coverings such as

wood blinds and shutters was growing, while demand for

soft window coverings, like draperies, was in decline.

Seeing a need for certain types of window treatments,

and convinced they could produce and install a better

quality product, they decided to start their own business.

Just under a decade later, WindowPros proudly provides

its own line of quality, customized window treatment

solutions to American households.

This is how WindowPros, dedicated to

providing quality product and expert

customer consultation and installation

services, got started. As a WindowPros

franchisee, you can provide the same

quality products to your market, while

owning and growing your own business.

A Window of Opportunity —

Open to You

* Source: Franchise Gator.com ** Source: National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).

By 1995, Jim Servies and

Mike Ballerini were

already running their own

window coverings business in

Eastern Tennessee. Recognizing

a viable market niche and deter-

mined to do what it takes to meet

their customers’ needs, they

founded WindowPros as a

factory-direct source for custom

wood blinds. To meet growing

customer demand and build on

the success of the WindowPros

brand, they opened a state-of-

the-art showroom in the summer

of 2001, as well as a new 12,000

square foot wood blind and

plantation shutter production

facility. A new 30,000 square foot

production facility is scheduled

to open in 2005, and will become

the home to several other

WindowPros handcrafted

product lines.

In just eight years, WindowPros,

grew from 2 employees to 18,

and developed a strong reputation

as a leading provider of

window coverings within the

Southeastern United States.

Now Jim, Mike, andWindowPros are offeringyou the opportunity to be a part of this growingcompany, and a growingindustry, too.

The total window coverings market is

estimated to total more than $5 billion.*

And this is expected only to grow larger.

Today, consumers are focused more on

home and family. Plus, the homeowner

market is maturing, and as baby boomers

age they are taking on more remodeling

and design projects in order to make their

homes more livable.**
