The “Customization” video showcases a luxurious home on Wisconsin’s Geneva Lake with insights from Kenneth Etten of McCormak + Etten Architects, LLP and Rick Ackman, Jr. of Ackman Glass, Lake Geneva Window and Door.Etten shares, “One thing I appreciate about working with Kolbe windows is their willingness to adapt to custom designs, to work both with us as architects and with the homeowners … to make our vision happen.”



Kolbe’s executive vice president Jeff De Lonay echoes this in the “Craftsmanship” video saying, “You can really do whatever you want with a Kolbe product. You can be the visionary. You can create the style.”



“If you can dream it, we can make it,” adds Rich Verkuilen, Kolbe’s manager of wood products.



De Lonay also emphasizes that many of Kolbe’s associates have been with the company for 25 years and longer. Keith Schulrud is highlighted among the team members who enjoy expressing themselves as creative, skilled craftsmen.



The videos capture the sense of pride shared by Kolbe’s team, architects and builders in the customized, crafted products and the homeowners who enjoy them.
