The Windsor Story

Windsor Windows & Doors began as a small operation in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1946. By crafting some of the finest windows and doors available – and asking fair prices – we’ve built our reputation of quality and value among architects, builders, contractors and homeowners. Windsor remained a regional wood window company until being purchased by Woodgrain Millwork, Inc of Fruitland, Idaho in 1987.

Woodgrain began as Dame Lumber & Moulding, founded by Bud Dame in 1954. Bud pioneered the manufacturing of wood mouldings. In 1984, Dame Lumber & Mouldings merged with a subsidiary to form Woodgrain Mouldings. In 1988, the name was officially changed to Woodgrain Millwork. Bud’s two sons, Reed and Kelly Dame, are currently the owners of Woodgrain Millwork.

Windsor is proud to be owned by such a large and successful company. Woodgrain has grown into the largest manufacturer of mouldings and interior doors in the United States. Four separate divisions are now part of the Woodgrain family; Millwork, Distribution, Doors and Windows. Woodgrain Millwork currently employs over 3,000 people in 20 different locations, including two in Chile.

We’ve come a long way since we built our first window in 1946. Since joining Woodgrain, Windsor has streamlined its manufacturing processes, invested in state-of-the-art equipment, engineered innovative new designs and expanded the product offering. Windsor’s corporate headquarters is located in West Des Moines, Iowa. The manufacturing plant in that location occupies 340,000 square feet, and we also operate a second 200,000 square foot production facility in Monroe, North Carolina. We manufacture four distinct product lines: Pinnacle (wood windows and patio doors), Next Dimension (vinyl windows and patio doors), Legend (cellular PVC windows) and Ashworth (patio and entry doors). Windsor enjoys a national presence in the window and patio door marketplace. We ship quality products throughout the United States and also into Canada, Mexico and China.

Woodgrain Millwork, Inc. and Windsor Windows & Doors have succeeded as a result of traditional American values. The diligence and hard work of the owners, as well as every employee they have hired throughout the years, has allowed the company to grow into a viable competitor in the residential and light commercial building market. We strive every day to meet our customer’s needs and exceed their expectations. Our goal is to provide the best value in the window and door industry.
