Thank you to everyone who turned out today for the Lumbee Tribe of N.C. Housing Workshop / Windows and Doors Installation Training. It was a great opportunity for our contractors to learn best practices for window and door installation. The hands-on installation by the Service Representatives from Atrium Windows gave our teams insight into how to, not only install the window, but guard against leaks and other issues by wrapping the window with the necessary weathering materials to avoid breakdown or exposure to the elements. Thank you to Mr. Junior Henderson and Mr. Terry Locklear for their demonstration on door installation basics. We would also like to thank Pembroke Hardware and Atrium Windows for sponsoring this event, which supports our mission of providing great service and a quality product to our Lumbee Members. We also appreciate our Finance and Contract Specialist and all the Construction team members who provided information to the contractors.
