Our History

102 Years. Four Generations. One Family Mission.

1st
Generation

The Founder · 1924

Dana's grandfather started Breslow as a small retail paint store in New Jersey. He had very little formal education, but he had something harder to teach. He loved his customers deeply — every single one of them felt special walking through his door. That relationship, that genuine gratitude, became the DNA of Breslow. "He taught me the basis of business," Sharon remembers. "It's in our blood."

2nd
Generation

Sharon · The Builder

Sharon, second generation, started working in the family business at age 13 — after school, every day, learning every corner of the operation alongside her father. She expanded Breslow's reach across New Jersey and carried her father's values through decades of change. "The integrity and the honesty and the wanting to help customers," she says. "It's just inherent in us. I don't know how else to say it."

3rd
Generation

Dana · The Visionary

Dana runs the business today. Under his leadership, Breslow evolved from a home improvement retailer into the Northeast's premier outdoor living design-build firm — pioneering the custom Azek architectural wrapping process that has become the company's signature. 100+ combined reviews. 9 states. The company his grandfather started in 1924 is now one of the most respected names in outdoor living on the East Coast.

4th
Generation

The Next Generation · Already Here

Dana's son — fourth generation — is already part of the business. "1924. Still in business. 2024. Third generation, second generation, my son behind the camera, fourth generation. Are you kidding me?" Dana said at their 100-year anniversary. "We've been waiting for this for a hundred years." The clients the grandfather built relationships with are now sending their children and grandchildren to Breslow.

Our Values

What We Believe

The principles that have guided four generations of Breslow craftsmanship.

🏛️

Architectural Integrity

Every structure we build should look like it was planned by the original architect. That's not a tagline — it's a standard we hold on every single project.

🤝

Family Relationships

Many of our clients today are the children of our original clients. We build relationships that last longer than our pergolas — that's the Breslow difference.

⚙️

Engineering Excellence

PE-stamped plans on every project. Azenco-certified installation teams. Full turnkey execution — design through completion. We don't cut corners — ever.

What We Do

Full Lifecycle. Zero Handoffs.

Most outdoor structure companies specialize in one part of the process — a designer, a fabricator, a contractor. Breslow handles every step in-house, with a single point of contact from start to finish.

01 — Design

Site consultation, architectural integration study, product selection, Azek profile matching, custom color specification.

02 — Engineering

PE-stamped structural drawings accepted by all municipalities in 9 states. Site-specific load calculations, wind and snow ratings.

03 — Permitting

Complete permit submission, zoning review, and approval tracking. You never wait in line at a building department.

04 — Fabrication

Azenco precision manufacturing. Custom RAL powder coat finishes. Azek trim milled to exact profiles. 4–6 week lead time.

05 — Installation

Azenco-certified Breslow crew. 2–4 days on site. Full system commissioning, automation setup, and owner walkthrough.

06 — Lifetime Service

Genuine Azenco parts. Annual maintenance programs. One phone call — the same crew that installed it will service it.
