In 1954, Don De Friese took over ownership of the business that his father founded in 1920. It’s a true family business, with Don and two of his brothers providing product knowledge, excellent workmanship and complete service that De Friese & Sons has been known for for over 85 years.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
"What makes us different from other window covering experts? It’s the knowledge that comes from decades of doing business. It’s the personal relationships we form with our customers. And it’s the fact that our primary goal is to always give the customer exactly what they want and not walk away from the job until they’re completely satisfied. There’s no way we would have stayed in business this long if we weren’t doing a lot of things right.”
