IDW starts its story in 1992, when Keith Kroehler and his wife, Lisa, decided to move from Minnesota to Lisa’s hometown of Lima, Ohio. Their reasoning was twofold: to be closer to Lisa’s family and to live in a place with warmer winters.
While the couple had been living in Minnesota, Keith had started a window cleaning company, and when they moved he continued it in Ohio. Keith worked alone until 1996 when Lisa left her career in television journalism and marketing to join her husband. Together, they expanded the I DO WINDOWS! LLC and grew the business. Now, after many years of hard work, the company services clients across Ohio and throughout the greater Fort Wayne area.
IDW was recognized in 2006 by the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce as “Woman Owned Business of the Year.” At IDW, our residential clients, many of whom we have been serving for years, constantly rave about our employees level of professionalism and workmanship.
