Mary Martin and Jeff Straub are the two force-multiplier personalities of the Louver Shop of North Orlando. They both grew up in Georgia and always wanted to move to Florida. So, when they got the opportunity to go into business for themselves, providing and installing window treatments, they took it immediately.
Mary started with the Louver Shop back in May 2019 as a blind, shade, and exterior shutter manager expert. Meanwhile, Jeff began his construction career as a teenager, working as a master trim carpenter, and boasts over 30 years of experience in a variety of home improvement projects, ranging from trim to total remodels.
Mary was offered her own territory while she worked in corporate for the company and knowing the manufacturing process and the products from the inside out, she knew it would give her the confidence to develop relationships that were genuine. Together, they deliver on that goal and as a result, have many happy customers who refer new people because they’re pleased with the quality of the products and the whole process.
Mary has two daughters in college and two dogs at home. She enjoys going to the beach and four-wheeling, as well as family outings to local sporting events. Mary also sponsors the local Marion County Youth Football League because she deeply believes in youth sports and supports scholarships for underprivileged kids.
Mary and Jeff’s approach to business is completely centered around their customers. She explains that they, “...listen to the customer and what their needs within their budget and help them by bringing the showroom to them, providing samples, and pros and cons. We are always looking out for our clients and are willing to go the extra mile.”
"We are always looking out for our clients and are willing to go the extra mile.”
Mary states that she and Jeff serve many kinds of customers and recommend a number of products, due to the diversity of architecture in the area. One of her most common recommendations is shutters because these window treatments are moisture-resistant (which is ideal in central Florida - a region that’s drenched in humidity), and due to their energy efficiency. Plus, they look great as well.
