History
WeatherGard's former factory and headquarters in Oak Park

WeatherGard was founded as WeatherGard Window Company, Inc. by Albert BenEzra on September 13, 1988 in Detroit, Michigan. BenEzra, who had been in the door industry for over a decade, realized he could expand his business by manufacturing windows. Basing his design on British manufacturing techniques, WeatherGard became the first window manufacturer in Michigan to introduce four-point welding, and the first to offer painted exterior colors. WeatherGard would later expand its operations, moving its location to Oak Park in 1995. It was there where they introduced insulation, roofing, gutter, and siding installation services.[3] In 2021, WeatherGard relocated to Farmington to their new 92,000 sq. ft. facility. WeatherGard is the largest private manufacturer in Farmington, MI. WeatherGard focuses primarily on residential services, but has also taken part in commercial work, such as the restoration of the historic Alden Park Towers in Detroit.[4]

Awards

In 2015 WeatherGard received an Excellence in Energy Efficiency Award from Consumers Energy.[5]
