OUR TEAM
JOE MAND
I was born and raised in Fond Du Lac. I worked at a retail appliance and electronics store for 17 years in and when an entrepreneurial opportunity came along, I jumped at it. That’s how I came to the home improvement industry. In 2007, I joined Wrightway as a partner and have been fully dedicated to the business ever since. I live in Fond Du Lac with my wife, Pam, and our 4 children. In addition to chasing my kids around and coaching several of their sports teams, I enjoy spending time with my family and following the Brewers, Packers, Badgers, and Bucks.
JON PITZEN
I grew up in St. Peter, Wisconsin and after completing the carpentry degree program at Fox Valley Tech, I started building houses for a home builder in St. Cloud, WI. I learned the right way to build and protect our living spaces in this climate. I came to Fond Du Lac for Wrightway in 2007. I was fortunate to partner with Joe in this venture and my focus is on the install aspects of the business. In my time away from the office, I enjoy the Wisconsin sports scene and I’ve been seen playing baseball in the area or hunting in the Fall. Our team is here to deliver top-notch service to you and I’d love to help you with your project.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
We expected this project to be long and messy. However, we were completely wrong! The siding, fascia, gutters, and downspouts were up in a week. And there was never a mess. In fact, our neighbors commented on how well the crew cleaned each day!
They were polite and courteous, and did an excellent job cleaning up after the job was completed.
I feel the two personnel that put in the windows deserve a raise if they do this good of work on all of their jobs!
We love our new windows!!! The installers did a great job!
I am very happy with the new windows! The difference that they make is unbelievable!
