New South Windows & Doors

Experience the New South Difference

By Ilyne Hayes

NewSouth Window Solutions recently celebrated their 11th anniversary providing Florida homeowners with the Ultimate Florida Window, which combines energy efficiency and hurricane protection.

Co-founder and president, Earl Rahn, has reason to celebrate. In March, NewSouth Window Solutions was ranked #1 in the nation by Door and Window Market magazine, one of the top trade publications for the fenestration industry.

“It’s amazing to think that you could go, in a little over ten years, from nobody ever heard of you to number one in the entire United States of America, when it comes to companies that manufacture windows and doors and actually sell them direct to the consumer,” Earl remarked.

From as recently as 2020 to today, NewSouth Window Solutions has grown from seven factory-direct showrooms in Florida to preparing to open their 17th location, which will be in San Antonio, Texas. The San Antonio location joins the list of seven new showrooms already opened in other Southern states.

Earl cited three main reasons for their rapid growth and success: the quality of the products that they manufacture; their high standard of customer service; and the customers themselves.

“Our windows and doors are Made in Florida, For Florida Homes, By Florida Workers™,” Earl stated. “We take excellent care of our customers. This means that we manufacture and test our high performance, high impact, energy-efficient windows, like the eVantage 366, as well as all of our windows and doors, to last a lifetime.” To back up their claims, NewSouth provides a lifetime, unconditional, non-prorated warranty on the quality of the product and the quality of the installation.

The reason why they can warranty their installation (which is extremely rare in the industry), is because they train their installation technicians to be precise in their measurements and workmanship, and to be extremely careful in the customer’s home.

“The families who hire us entrust us to work in the sanctity of their home,” Earl explained. “We have to have great respect that we are working in their private residence, which is most likely their greatest investment.”

In addition to their impact-resistant, Energy Star rated glass doors and windows, the NewSouth factory in Tampa also manufactures Eze-Breeze, a vinyl window and screening system that has customization capabilities with choice of frame, vinyl, and screen colors, and screen opacities. Their high-quality workmanship extends to this product, which allows homeowners to expand their comfortable living space by screening in porches, patios, and garages. The heavy-duty vinyl panels help protect outdoor furniture and fixtures from rain and dust, while the screened panels are there to keep pests out and allow Florida breezes to flow.

Besides their precision-made-and-installed products and their incredible lifetime warranty, Earl believes that their success comes from their value proposition. “We offer the consumers absolutely true, factory direct windows and doors, installed. Of course, there’s also the fact that people like doing business with winners.”
