A Legacy Built on Expertise and Passion
The Portnoy name has been synonymous with acrylic window excellence for nearly four decades. What started with Dana Portnoy in 1988 has evolved into a family-led business known throughout the industry for precision, integrity, and innovation.
This isn’t just a job for any of us—it’s our passion.
The Portnoy family is at the forefront of acrylic window installation. In fact, Justin trained some of the competitors you might consider today. Yet clients continue to choose Portnoy’s Premier because they know the difference between being taught by the best and learning from decades of hands-on experience solving the industry’s most complex challenges.
Each member of Team Portnoy, whether our extremely competent in-office staff or those in the field, brings unwavering commitment to your project’s success. We pride ourselves on clear and consistent communication—from initial quote through final testing and beyond.

Why Our Team Makes the Difference

Acrylic window installation isn’t general construction. It requires:

Our team has all of this, honed over more than three decades and hundreds of installations worldwide.
