The Fawley Story

In 1981, a few local contractors and home owners took a chance on a new business started by Tom Fawley. He worked six days a week to serve them, many times coming home in the evening only to turn around again to help get someone in, or out of, their garage. Through hard work and honest dealings, Tom was blessed with more than he could handle himself. Since that time, he has added installers, service technicians and office staff, even bringing his own son on board to help grow the business.

As a family owned and operated Portage-based company, we continue Tom's dedication to personal service and quality work. Satisfied customers are still our #1 goal…if you’re not happy, we’re not happy.
