Three Generations.
One Family. One Standard.
Sunbeam was founded in 1946 by Ace Horniff in Pennsauken Township. A few years later, William Reiss—a World War II veteran who’d been going door to door selling landscaping—got an unusual request from one of his customers: venetian blinds. He took a job at Sunbeam to learn the trade, and by the early 1950s had purchased the company outright from Horniff.
William built the business on a simple premise: show up, do honest work, and stand behind what you sell. His son Wayne joined the company and has spent 40+ years carrying that same standard forward—expanding Sunbeam from venetian blinds into a full-service home improvement company offering windows, doors, custom window treatments, and awnings.
Today, Wayne’s son Shaun runs the business alongside him—the third generation of Reiss family ownership. Shaun grew up in the shop, spent school breaks helping install shades and awnings, and knows every aspect of the operation from product sourcing to customer relationships.
The products have changed since William’s day—from hand-cranked jalousies to Hunter Douglas PowerView automation, from aluminum storm windows to ProVia fiberglass entry doors. But the phone number is the same, the commitment is the same, and the family behind it hasn’t changed.
