There's an old saying, "You make a better door than a window." Well, the folks at The Screen and Window Shop in Paradise do a good job with both.

Shop owners Don and Dina McSpadden are looking forward to the shop's 40th anniversary celebration later this month. The shop opened in May 1974 and the McSpaddens took over in 2000, expanding it into its current operation.

"It used to be just a screen shop, but we expanded to window and glass," Dina said Friday morning at the shop.

Don said he owned Willows Glass and his background made for a natural transition at the screen shop.

And with the McSpaddens' community-first mindset, they aim to offer the Ridge the best in service and quality.

"We're selling ourselves, we're not selling a big corporation," Don said, adding that person-to-person service is what sets The Screen and Window Shop apart from box stores. In fact, Don said, it is the personal interaction with the people that is the best part of the business.

"We live here and it's important to be a part of the community," Dina said, adding they are also members of the Ridge Chamber of Commerce and Paradise Rotary. "This isn't just a business to us, it's a part of our life."
