The Jammer family is here for your family
You hear it said time after time, “Family owned and operated.”
Four simple words, yet they pack a punch: Legacy, tradition, ethics, hard work, respect, leadership, trend-setter, relatable, the American dream.
All these positive traits and attributes go into every familyowned business.
It is no wonder why according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, about 90% of American businesses are familyowned or operated.
Jammer Doors is that family owned and operated business, established 104 years ago!
It has been over a century since Louis and Laura Jammer opened their weather-stripping business in Morrisville, Bucks County. Four generations later, the Jammer family, which markets a variety of entry doors, garage doors and replacement windows, is in the process of opening a new, state-of-the-art showroom on Route 1 in Lawrenceville, N.J.
“My great-grandparents started a weather-stripping business that installed windows and door screens in 1920, which incidentally, is one year before the first overhead garage doors were ever sold,” said company Vice President Louis Jammer IV. “They later branched out into the overhead door business and then into additional door and window styles.
“Through the Great Depression, WorldWar II and all the economic upheavals, including the COVID-19 Pandemic, our family has been able to succeed by offering our customers a blend of top-quality products and unmatched personal service.”
Even three years after the start of the pandemic, we are seeing unprecedented demand in the home improvement industry in our local tri-state area, focusing mainly on the suburban areas.
These past three years, the garage has become the answer to many kinds of pandemicrelated problems: it’s the remote office; the home gym. The pandemic had effectively shifted the evolution of the garage from a detached building used as storage to a space inseparable from the home itself.
While the pandemic has changed our use of the garage, unfortunately the pandemic also increased the demand for steel.
Garage doors have a more complex supply chain than windows, HVAC systems and plumbing fixtures.
Many of the garage door components are made from steel, which has been in short supply and subject to an increase in price.
“While the increasing price in steel has caused the cost of our number one seller of steel garage doors to rise over 200%, Jammer Doors prides itself on a ‘no pressure’ sales approach,” Jammer said.
Jammer Doors sells the ProVia line of entry doors, storm doors, sliding patio doors and specialty windows.
In addition, Jammer’s Garage Door Division offers Raynor, Fimbel, CHI and Artisan doors along with a comprehensive selection of garage door openers.
“Even with the supply chain shortage many industries are facing, Jammer Doors will do its absolute best to work with customers keeping them up to
date on every phase of the ordering process and being as transparent as possible to ensure the customer has all the relevant information they need to make an insightful decision when ordering their garage door,” Jammer said. “We are not here to sell your next door, we are here to sell you your forever door.”
And since Jammer Doors is in the business of ensuring that their customers are satisfied with the product they are ordering, they are in the process of redesigning a stateof-the-art 4,800-square-foot showroom to give customers the chance to experience the products in an interactive environment.
The showroom, which is currently under construction, for a projected early 2024 opening, will feature displays of entry doors, patio doors, garage doors and vinyl replacement window displays.
“Since some of our doors represent a substantial investment,
it is important for our customers to have the opportunity to touch and feel the products and see them displayed in a clean, modern environment,” Jammer said.
He also noted that fair pricing is another hallmark of his family’s business
When clients meet with a Jammer Doors representative, they will receive a straightforward, accurate quote that isn’t complicated by tricky gimmicks and come-ons.
“For four generations, our family name has stood for the best service,” Jammer said. “We never settle for second best, and customer satisfaction is our top priority.” .
