About Dayton Windows
It started with a pair of hands and a job to do.
That’s my dad, Ron Addis Sr., on the wooden stepladder.
A white T-shirt, sunglasses, and another Dayton home taking shape under his hands. The photograph was taken in the 1950s, when he was getting his start in siding and remodeling here in the Miami Valley.
He made a working life out of that trade. Along the way, he taught his sons and grandsons the skills that supported our family.
For me, that photograph is where our story begins.
The next chapter
A family’s work.
A personal responsibility.
I’m Ron Addis. I own and run Dayton Windows. I’ve run my business since 1994, carrying our family’s home improvement experience into replacement windows.
Home improvement runs through three generations of our family. Dayton Windows is the business I’ve built and still run day to day.
When you talk with me about your home, you’re talking with the person responsible for your project. I’ll help you understand your choices, prepare your quote, and answer the questions that come along the way.
After more than 30 years in business, I still believe that being available and accountable matters as much as knowing the product.
President & Owner, Dayton Windows
The story behind Express Quote
When Dayton needed help,
we found another way.
Our family’s story explains where we come from. The story of Express Quote explains how we work today.
A community trying to recover.
After the 2019 Memorial Day tornadoes, requests for help came pouring in. Homeowners needed proposals to repair the damage, and local contractors were overwhelmed. With hundreds of proposals needed, driving to every home for an initial inspection simply wasn’t possible.
We started with what we could gather from a distance: photos homeowners sent us, county records, Google Street View and other online tools. At first, we were improvising. But it helped us prepare more proposals and reach more people than we could by making a separate visit to every house.
As the months went on, we refined the process. Then we refined it again.
We were recovering, too.
Our own building had been damaged. Properties around us, including the terminal directly across the street, had been hit hard. We felt lucky our building was still standing.
Our staff worked from home while we helped homeowners move forward. Eventually, we could work repairs to our own facility into the schedule, including replacing the roof.
Just as we were ready to return, COVID arrived. The staff stayed home. What began as a response to the tornadoes became a lasting way of working.
What stayed with us
A practical answer to a difficult time.
We kept Express Quote because it worked. Homeowners could get started without arranging an in-home sales appointment, and we could prepare more quotes. As more of everyday life moved online, we found that many people already wanted to handle this first step that way.
It saves time and travel for us, and time for you. Those efficiencies help us control costs, too. You can consider your options without commission or sales pressure, and we still visit to confirm measurements and installation details before anything is ordered.
We didn’t set out to change the way we quoted windows. We were trying to help our neighbors through a disaster. The process we built then is the one we continue to improve today.

Your home, your priorities
Let’s start with
your home.
What would you like to improve? A room that never feels comfortable? Windows that are difficult to open? A view you’d enjoy more without the old frames in the way?
We supply and professionally install custom-made vinyl replacement windows and sliding patio doors throughout southwest Ohio. Triple-pane windows are our specialty, and we offer dual-pane options as well. We’ll help you compare the choices around your home, your priorities and your budget.
Every window is made for its opening. Professional installation is always part of our quote.
Dayton and southwest Ohio
Still here. Still hands-on.
Our business began in Fairborn in 1994. Today, we own our building at 700 Brandt Street in Dayton and serve homeowners across southwest Ohio—from Dayton and the Miami Valley to Springfield, Huber Heights, Kettering, Centerville, Springboro and surrounding towns.
Behind those reviews are homeowners who trusted us with their homes. We take that personally.
My dad’s photograph belongs here because it reminds me where that responsibility began.
Thank you for considering Dayton Windows.
I’d welcome the chance to help with your home.
