Harley and Aaron Magden
Co-Founders
Window Nation
Harley and Aaron Magden know windows, siding and doors — inside and out. After growing up learning the business from their dad, they jumped at the chance to make their own mark on the industry and open their first showroom, right here in Maryland.
Fifteen years later, Window Nation has replaced more than 1 million windows and become the country’s fifth largest home remodeling business.
With 565 employees working out of 15 showrooms across the country, the company has garnered a 97 percent positive customersatisfaction ranking.
That’s because Window Nation takes pride in building relationships with its customers. This starts from the top as the Magden brothers are personally involved in every project, making sure their customers come first.
“There’s nothing more important to us than helping our customers turn their house into their dream home, and we will go the extra mile to ensure their project goes smoothly,” the brothers explain.
As CEO, Harley makes it his mission to exceed the needs of homeowners every day. As president, Aaron oversees sales with a nopressure system he implemented to put customers at ease.
While divvying up business operations, the brothers share a common philosophy: “We take great pride in knowing we offer our customers the best possible windows and doors, installed by the most experienced professionals at the best possible value.”
Operating the business as a family, the brothers make it a point to know each and every employee. They also practice the Jewish value of G’milut Chasadim or helping others.
In addition to being major corporate sponsors of the Jewish Federation of Howard County and Cleveland Clinic, the company has donated windows to nonprofits including Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore and Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake.
“There’s nothing more important to us than giving back to the communities we serve,” the brothers state. “We don’t want to simply operate a business in the town — we want to become a part of the community.”
