Ernie Wilding is no stranger to the building and
construction industry. The founder and CEO of FAS
Windows & Doors has applied his 36 years of experience
to become Central Florida's premier window and door
supplier for new-construction builders, as well as
homeowners renovating existing homes.
After establishing two highly successful home
improvement companies in Florida and North Carolina,
Ernie turned his attention closer to home. He had a
vision for a business that would focus solely on the
supply, service and installation of quality windows and
doors. With the industry powerhouse Andersen® Windows
backing him, Ernie launched FAS Windows & Doors in early
2005. Working by his side to spearhead the company’s
growth is his son, John. In a relatively short time, the
father and son team has seen unprecedented growth,
boasting an impressive list of clientele including many
of Central Florida’s premier custom luxury homebuilders,
architects and designers.
"It’s not often you get the chance to work with your
father," says John, FAS Windows & Doors' President & C.O.O.
But the passion to see the
company prosper does not stop with the Wildings. Each
employee, from the installers to the executives, is
willing to pitch in wherever needed to ensure customers
receive exceptional products with exceptional service.
In addition to being a member of Andersen® Windows
Dealer Service Network, FAS represents many other
leading window and door suppliers such as Simonton,
Eagle, and PGT.
FAS Windows & Doors is a member of Andersen’s®
exclusive Circle of Excellence program. Andersen has
been so impressed with FAS’s level of service, it
supported the opening of a second design center
located in Tampa to complement the Orlando
location.
Customer service is the driving force behind FAS's
success. Though representatives will gladly make onsite
calls, clients are encouraged to visit one FAS’s
state-of-the-art design centers. At each of these
14,000-square-foot facilities, customers are seated in
comfortable, leather chairs positioned around a 42”
plasma flat-screen television--where the extensive line
of products is showcased--and given a tour of the
warehouse, where full-size windows and doors are on
displays.
Practically any shape, size, color and style are within the
customer’s reach. Though the product line leans toward high-end
offerings, FAS prides itself on accommodating any budget.
FAS Window & Doors maintains active membership in professional organizations
and supports the community through charitable contributions and support.
