In an industry known for long appointments and complicated quotes, One Price Window was built around a simple idea: homeowners deserve clear answers and honest pricing.

The company was founded by Nicole and Matt after years of experience in two different worlds that ultimately led them to the same conclusion.

​

Nicole spent more than 20 years working as a retail manager, where her focus was always on customer service, organization, and operating with integrity. Matt spent 23 years in the window industry working with manufacturers, installers, and window companies throughout Illinois.

​

Over time, the two began to notice a gap between what homeowners needed and how the industry typically operated.

“There came a point where we realized there had to be a better way to do this,” Nicole says. “When decisions start benefiting leadership more than customers, and when homeowners are being treated like transactions instead of people, that’s when you know something needs to change.”

​

The idea for One Price Window didn’t happen overnight. Nicole and Matt spent nearly a year and a half discussing what a different kind of window company could look like.

They talked about the values they wanted the business to stand for, how customers should be treated, and how the buying experience could be simplified.

​

One thing quickly became clear: the traditional window sales process hadn’t evolved with the way people buy today.

“As consumers ourselves, if we’re researching something and we can’t even find a starting price online, and the only way to get a price is to schedule a long appointment, most people just give up,” Nicole explains. “People today want quick answers, convenience, and transparency.”

​

One Price Window was designed around that reality.

​

Instead of complicated quotes and drawn-out sales appointments, the company focuses on clear pricing and straightforward explanations based on the specific needs of each home. The goal is to meet homeowners wherever they are in their buying process.

“If someone wants to text us a photo and get a quick idea of pricing, we can do that,” Nicole says. “If someone prefers an in-home appointment and wants to walk through everything together, we can do that too. It’s about meeting people where they’re at.”

​

Values and honesty were non-negotiable when building the company.

“We were never going to stand behind something that wasn’t honest,” Nicole says. “Homeowners deserve clear information so they can make the best decision for their home without pressure.”

​

Quality was another major priority when launching the company.

​

With more than two decades in the window industry, Matt went through an extensive process evaluating manufacturers before choosing the product One Price Window would offer. The goal was never to sell just any window, but to select a premium product that delivers strong performance, durability, and a solid warranty homeowners can trust.

​

The company ultimately chose a high-quality window manufactured with premium materials and paired it with experienced local installers in Northwest Indiana who take pride in clean, professional installations.

​

Today, One Price Window is the first and only company offering this specific window product in Northwest Indiana.

​

Beyond the products and installation process, community involvement was also a priority from the beginning. Nicole and Matt wanted One Price Window to become rooted in the Griffith and Highland communities through sponsorships, events, and local partnerships.

​

The business is also deeply personal for their family.

​

Nicole and Matt are raising their two boys in the same community they serve, and they hope the business will become something their children can one day be proud to be part of.

“We want to build something that’s rooted in the community,” Nicole says. “Something our boys can grow up around and hopefully carry forward one day.”

​

At the heart of the company is a simple goal.

​

“We want customers to feel like they’re chatting with a friend,” Nicole says. “Replacing windows shouldn’t feel stressful or uncomfortable. It should be a clear, comfortable process with no games.”

​

Nicole and Matt believe every homeowner deserves energy-efficient windows and a straightforward path to getting them.

​

“When customers walk away from a project, we want them to love their windows and feel confident in their decision,” Nicole says. “It should feel easy, honest, and done the right way.”
