Year In Review: A Look Back At 2023

As we prepare for the year ahead, we take a moment to reflect back on the great year we had at New York Sash and all that we’ve accomplished. We had a lot of great moments in 2023 and we are looking forward to what the new year has in store.

Here are some highlights from 2023.

Last year, we had some important management updates, promotions and even welcomed back employees to the New York Sash team.

In October, we were happy to welcome back Jill Hayes and announce her as our new company CEO.

Earlier in the year, Rachel Smith was promoted to VP of Production and Fulfillment and Ryan Smith has taken on a leadership role as Installation Manager.

We also welcomed back longtime employee Jeff Reilly as Measure & Product Manager.

In 2023, we received our 7th Angi Super Service Award. This award recognizes the best home professionals and businesses in the Angi network for their hard work, dedication and commitment to providing customers with a great experience.

We were also the recipient of two Best of the Mohawk Valley awards in two different categories. We won best home repair/remodeling company and best window company!

We wouldn’t have been able to achieve these awards without our hardworking staff and our amazing customers.

Our employees are an extension of our family and throughout the year we enjoyed some fun staff outings. In the fall, we all enjoyed an afternoon of golf, which was filled with plenty of fun, laughs and friendly competition. For a summer treat, we took our team out to the ballgame and enjoyed an evening of baseball with the Utica Blue Sox.

We recently enjoyed some holiday fun with the return of the New York Sash Christmas party and our annual Sash Secret Santa. A fun way to enjoy the holiday season and to say thank you to our employees for all of their hard work throughout the year.

Giving back to the community is a big component here at New York Sash and last year we were happy to continue giving back to the community that we are proud to be a part of.

We completed the bathroom upgrade for our third Shower for a Soldier recipient, Michael Kingsley. The new walk-in shower will remove barriers to entry and make bathing easier and more accessible.

We are accepting nominations for our next Shower for a Soldier Bath Makeover Giveaway. If you know a deserving Veteran, nominate them today!

In December, we stepped in and helped local not for profit organization, For The Good with their window replacement project.

After hearing that their window was vandalized, we were happy to step in and help them get a new window for their office.

We also held our first window giveaway with Bill Keeler. One lucky winner was chosen to have a new window installed in their home for free!

Heather Ahn was the lucky winner!

Last summer we took our mobile showroom on the road and participated in many local events & shows.

Last summer was our first time at Utica’s What The Truck event! Our team was there every Tuesday night, ready to talk with you about home improvement projects and how we can help. We also participated in other events & shows such as the Home Show, Cream Cheese Fest, Canalfest and more!

Last but certainly not least, we held our 19th annual New York Sash Teddy Bear Toss with the Utica University Pioneers. This was another successful event, where we raised over 4,000 teddy bears! Thank you to everyone who donated and helped to make a child’s holiday season brighter & merrier.

We have a lot to be thankful for this past year and we we are looking forward to another great year at New York Sash!
