1960s Woodland Lumber BuildingHistory

1960's

John Mariotti Sr. was a partner in a builder’s supply company specializing in millwork. This company eventually liquidated and some of the stock as well as machinery were moved into a local warehouse for the Marriotti’s next business venture.

John and Ann Mariotti purchased a small lot at the corner of Lake Street and Gary Avenue in Roselle, Illinois with a small home that was turned into a storefront and named Woodland Lumber Company.

John Mariotti’s focus remained on selling millwork, but he began to supplement his income by selling firewood weighed on a bathroom scale and railroad ties which were in great demand at that time. At this stage, the Mariotti sons were an integral part of the business as they worked side by side with their father after school and during breaks.

Builders started asking John Mariotti if he could supply windows for their projects along with the millwork and doors he was providing them. It quickly became apparent that windows would be the next product available from Woodland.

By this time, Rano Mariotti, Sr, Ralph Mariotti and Ken Mariotti had all joined the Woodland team and their parents, John and Ann as full time employees.

The “Little House with the Doors of Many Colors” at Gary and Lake soon became a popular source for windows and doors , and began to offer high quality installations to their customers in the Chicagoland area.

The Mariottis1990’s

The Mariottis decided it was time to expand their product offerings to include many of the top rated brands of windows and doors .

Woodland had far outgrown the original facilities and the buildings were replaced with a 15,000 square foot state of the art showroom. John and Ann Mariotti officially handed over the management of the company to their three sons, Rano, Ralph and Ken Mariotti.

Featured Testimonial

We decided to replace all our windows in our condo at the Portals in Lincoln Park this fall. This installation began on December 23, and due to the holiday was completed on December 29 as scheduled, a total of 4 working days. We replaced 7 windows and our sliding glass door with Anderson windows. First of all, I would like to say how pleased I am with the look of the windows themselves and the door. I think for our condo it has improved the overall interior appearance, and I can tell the finished product is much superior to what we had previously.

I also was pleasantly surprised with the installation process. I was expecting a messy, dusty, painful experience and instead the noise level was minimal, the dust was almost non-existent, and the mess was hardly noticeable. In fact, I will go so far as to stay this was the least intrusive and messy repair/installation of any of this magnitude that I have experienced as a homeowner. I attribute most of this to the skill and understanding of your staff to the work conditions and our belongings. I give our job supervisor, Nick, most of the credit, but the other installers were equally as careful and courteous. They made something that I was dreading more than bearable.

Thanks, Ken. An excellent job all around.
