Home Genius Exteriors Donates Over $320,000 in Windows

For many families in Northeast Ohio, access to safe and affordable housing remains a challenge. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity of Summit County work on remediating that challenge by partnering with local businesses to provide funding and accessible material.

Families in need across Northeast Ohio and Pittsburgh will soon benefit from an estimated $327,050 donation of windows and doors thanks to a new initiative by Home Genius Exteriors. The home improvement company has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to launch a long-term program allowing homeowners to donate their old windows and doors, which will be resold at Habitat for Humanity ReStores to fund local housing projects.

“This generous donation from Home Genius Exteriors will directly support our efforts to provide affordable housing solutions,” said Rochelle Sibbio, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cleveland. “Every purchase made at our ReStores helps build homes, and this partnership will have a lasting impact on families in our community.”

The first donation, split between Habitat for Humanity of Summit County and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh, marks the beginning of this initiative, which aims to expand nationwide. The official launch event took place at the Habitat for Humanity of Summit County ReStore in Akron, Ohio on January 30th, 2025. Home Genius Exteriors employees and Habitat for Humanity employees and volunteers got together to celebrate the beginning of the partnership with plans of a nation-wide reach.

Home renovations often result in excess materials, but rather than letting them go to waste, Home Genius Exteriors is putting them to good use. The company is dedicated to minimizing waste by repurposing materials while ensuring they contribute to meaningful community projects. By partnering with Habitat for Humanity, Home Genius Exteriors aligns its commitment to sustainability with its core values of building lasting relationships, integrity, and earning the right to celebrate. This initiative helps ensure that home improvement benefits not just individual homeowners, but the broader community as well.

“Our mission is rooted in improving lives through growing long-term relationships and acting with integrity, and this donation reflects that by contributing to Habitat for Humanity’s work of providing for those in need,” said Tim Dunphy, Chief Growth Officer at Home Genius Exteriors. “It’s a direct representation of our promise to provide a different experience and our commitment to serving the communities we work in."

This initiative provides homeowners with an easy way to contribute to their communities while reducing landfill waste.
