Greg's History & Experience in Window Treatments

Greg was born in Bethesda, Maryland and grew up in Frederick. He graduated from Linganore High School and went straight into the home improvement business.

Later, he started his own painting company. Around this time, he tried hanging his first set of shutters and installing them himself–cutting and fitting them to his own windows. Friends noticed the clean outcome of his work and wanted the same professional looking window treatments for their homes. Eventually, he began offering shutters and installation to his painting customers as well–and that’s when it all started.

Get to Know Greg

Greg and his wife, Jennifer, have two grown boys who are both attending college. Their oldest studies film editing in Savannah, Georgia, while their youngest studies chemical engineering in Texas. They also love their dog, Mitchel, a CavaPoo.

Hobbies like offshore fishing and cruising on his Harley Davidson are some of Greg’s favorites. While spending time with family, though, he thoroughly enjoys attending local sporting events with them, and you can often find them cheering for the Washington Capitols.

What Greg Enjoys About the Northern Virginia/DC/Maryland Area

“The Maryland/D.C. area is the best place to live in my opinion! You get to enjoy the seasons and stay near the ocean, shores and Appalachian Trail. The geography has so much to offer. I enjoy the diversity in this area, I get to meet so many different people!”

Greg loves where he lives, and always does what he can to support his community. By staying involved, he has coached youth football teams and continues to sponsor various other events, he vows full commitment to his Maryland and Virginia friends and neighbors.

Greg's Business

With a family-owned business like this, you’re bound to get only the best and most comfortable customer service possible. Jennifer and Kelsey take care of the scheduling and estimates for the business, and their lead installer Ronnie Lennox, who’s been with Louver Shop for over 20 years, takes care of many of the installations; along with help from Chris Fairman, they make an unbeatable team.

Since Ronnie and Chris are trained to help customers from beginning to end, clients appreciate being able to work with the same person throughout the entire process. This level of dedication and extra touch of familiarity are what bring Louver Shop of Maryland and D.C. to the upper-echelon of the window-treatment industry.

Greg’s favorite product is Louver Shop’s shutters. They last forever, are a great investment on the home, provide great insulation and light control and match any style you can throw at it. His clients love the classic shutter look, but also appreciate Louver Shop’s roman shades. They also love the versatility that motorization offers to any window-treatment–escalating an already top of the line product to the very best possible.

Greg believes that you can’t go wrong with Louver Shop’s American-made products, either. With quality products and short shipping times, they stand behind their product whole-heartedly.

He works to get the customer exactly what they want, considering style, function and value. After listening to their needs, he steps in to use his 25 years of experience and expertise to help guide them to the best fit for their home. He loves the feeling of getting yet another satisfied customer. Hearing how much a client enjoys their new window-treatments never gets old.

“We are consistently recognized by Hunter Douglas as one of their premier dealerships and take great pride in customer service and maintaining our reputation as a premier window treatment provider.”

With a business driven by almost entirely referrals, it’s obvious that they’re doing something right!

Love, love, love my new shutters. I had the Louver Shop of Maryland install shutters at our previous home 25 years ago. We just moved and couldn’t wait to call them back for our new house. Ronnie was fabulous from start to finish with my order through installation. They have outstanding personalized customer service! I highly recommend!

Chris was a delight to work with. He gets straight to business on his initial visit and is very knowledgeable about the products. He also installed our shelters and was quick and thorough. We could not be more pleased.

The Louver Shop of Maryland provided us with excellent services from the initial rep. visit and preparation of a very reasonable estimate, to final installation and clean-up! Mr. Chris Fairman provided EXCELLENT installation and clean-up services in a very timely manner. Mr. Fairman was very professional and thorough as he worked; he was very quiet as he unpacked the blinds and installed them, as well as disposing of old drapes and hardware. He made sure I was happy with the results prior to his departure. Based on this first contract, we will definitely be working with The Louver Shop of Maryland again in the near future as we continue our window blinds project to beautify our home!

I highly recommend the Louver Shop of Maryland. The entire team is very professional. Greg was fantastic in identifying options for our non-perfect semi-circle window that still allowed for movable louvers PLUS an Indow noise reduction insert (if still needed). Ronnie's attention to detail with the installation made that process quick and easy. Most importantly I have a beautiful shutter that is providing light and even noise reduction that was nearly half the cost of a competitor! It is a no brainer we will be using them for an future window covering needs!

Wonderful experience. They were professional, friendly, and explained everything in detail and addressed all of my questions. The day of the installation appt the technician was timely and installation was done professionally and did not take long. The shutters help to minimize heat in the rooms from the sun. I can feel how much cooler the rooms feel when they are just slightly closed. I love my shutters and wish I made the decision to install them sooner.

Gregg at The Louver Store in Frederick, Md was recommended by my shutter installer in Savannah, Ga. Gregg and his professional team drove two hours each way from Frederick to Easton, Md and arrived right on time. They were professional and worked together like a well oiled machine. I highly recommend them to all potential buyers not only in Frederick but surrounding areas. My shutters look amazing! Joan David

Incredible service, incredible product! We couldn't be happier with our new plantation shutters, they bring each room to a new level of sophistication, keep the house cool on hot days, and add an extra layer of privacy if needed. With so many variations on how to position the shutters, each day can look a little different, and they are easy to clean. They just look incredible! The service for measuring and installation was impeccable...appointments were made quickly, installers arrived on time, clean and efficient workmanship, and a perfectly fitted finished product at a fair price. Don't go anywhere else...you won't be disappointed!

Louver Shop of Maryland had just the shutters I'd been looking for. Ronnie came to my house, talked me through the process, and returned to install everything. I couldn't be more pleased! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!

Our experience w/Louver Shop of MD was excellent from first call thru estimate visit thru installation. Chris’ attention to detail while installing was A+. Greg’s presentation & description of the plantation shutters was succinct & non-pushy. The office staff were friendly & accommodating. And all of the folks were professional & down-to-earth. We highly recommend The Louver Shop.
