A Word From Our Owners
Ted Kirk and Jonathan Collum became friends long before Infinity from Marvin by North Georgia Replacement Windows was ever thought of. From playing football to camping, it was in these early years that Ted and Jonathan formed the foundations that would one day serve them in the business world. Operated on Christian principles, it is our desire to always do the right thing. That is why we went from selling over 26 different window models to exclusively carrying the Infinity from Marvin fiberglass window. From offering quality products to detailed and precise installation techniques, we want to create an experience that exceeds your expectations. Although this may be your first time replacing your windows, we want it to be your last.
