My name is Glenn R. Atkinson, and I
founded Modern Exteriors of Springfield in 1973. I
was raised in Virginia, where my family has been in
the Home Improvement business for over 50 years. I
moved to St. Louis in 1970, and attended Washington
University for 1 year. In 1971 I moved to
Springfield, and finished my degree at Drury
University, graduating in 1974, with a degree in
Business Management. After working for a local home
improvement company, I obtained Modern Exteriors of
Springfield’s first business license on August 26th,
1973. My Father always told me that “Quality Sells.”
Following that advice, our company logo is “Where
Quality and Price Become Friends.” The rest, as they
say, is history. Now, with our 50 + personnel we are
celebrating our 33rd anniversary. We are very proud
of our Company, and of the employees who help make
it a success.
In the ensuing years, I earned a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Theology from Baptist Bible College. I
have attended many training sessions and continuing
education opportunities in all facets of the home
improvement industry. In 2002, we were honored to be
nominated for the prestigious Better Business
Bureau’s Torch Award.
We are also EXCLUSIVE PROVIDER for Renewal by
Andersenâ
Custom – made window and door Replacement for
Southwest Missouri.
Thank you for your time in visiting our web site.
Consider giving us a try on one of your home
improvement needs. I’m quite confident we will earn
your future business as well.
