ABOUT
a turning point in architectural louvers
Welcome to a renaissance in architectural beauty and functionality. At Aire Renaissance, we open new vistas in design and function with louvers that seamlessly integrate with your building’s façade and deliver the best performance. As a national distributor drawing on over three decades of collaboration with designers, façade consultants, mechanical and acoustical engineers, contractors, and building owners, we have honed our solutions to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of the entire construction team. The results are louvers that go beyond beauty to optimize the functionality of new construction and renovations.
the aire renaissance difference
AESTHETICS
We understand that generally, you don’t want louvers on your building. Rather than designing louvers and hoping they work with your aesthetics, our architectural louvers have been engineered based on our client’s feedback for over 30 years. This means that right from the start, we are anticipating the design or we have options that will blend into your façade without jeopardizing the performance.
FUNCTIONALITY
First and foremost, our louver needs to meet your project requirements. However don’t fall into the trap of “if it was used on Project A then it should would work on Project B”. Every project is completely different and we are here to quickly give you multiple options to reduce the square footage or provide other ways to work within the mechanical engineers requirements.
EXPERTISE
Every designer is different with their own vision and aesthetics. More than having an unrivaled depth of technical knowledge, at Aire Renaissance we understand real life consulting and listen intently to our customers and their challenges. Our time spent in Design Development enables us to discuss design options while mitigating risks from costly performance oversights and RFI’s.
MEET THE TEAM

My career has always been about showing up, rolling up my sleeves, and making the most of whatever comes my way.
I learned early on that being prepared really matters. On those freezing NJ mornings when the snow was piling up, I’d set the alarm extra early, dig out the car, and make sure I got to work on time—no excuses. That little habit has carried me through every job since.
My first gig was with a commercial plumbing contractor, where I handled everything from office admin and scheduling crews to calm frustrated field teams when materials were late. I discovered I’m pretty good at troubleshooting on the fly, and I genuinely loved the variety and problem-solving that comes with commercial construction.
Next, I joined a manufacturer and worked closely with their national sales rep network. Getting to see both the sales side and the manufacturing side was eye-opening and incredibly valuable.
After that, I wanted a bigger challenge, so I moved to one of the country’s largest insurance companies (a real Fortune 500). Their customer-service training was top-notch and drilled in why clients stick around for the long haul: clear communication, follow-through, being reliable, and building real relationships. Those lessons are still with me every day.
Then my husband and I took the leap and started Renaissance Building Products—an independent manufacturers’ rep agency. We began in a spare bedroom turned office and, with a lot of hard work and coffee, grew it into one of the more successful agencies in the country. We eventually moved into a proper office space! I loved handling proposals, shop drawings, fabrication schedules, and staying in close touch with clients. Those small-business days were all about planning smart and executing well.
More recently, I partnered with a louver manufacturer whose technical know-how and commitment to great service felt like a perfect match for mine. We both kept noticing the same communication gaps in the industry, so after a year of careful planning, I launched Aire Renaissance by OSA—a national WBE/WOSB-certified louver distributorship as well as other architectural facade products. Our team brings together experience in sales, general contracting, engineering, manufacturing, and customer service, and we’re excited to be here for you.
A couple of ways I’d love to connect:
If you’re working on a project and need building products—especially louvers or other architectural metal products, please reach out! I’d be happy to chat about options that might work well for you.
To any women stepping into or already working in construction: I’ve found it so helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off, talk through challenges, or brainstorm next steps. If that sounds useful to you, I’m always up for a conversation—it’s one of my favorite things.
At the end of the day, my team and I focus on one thing: earning trust by doing what we say we’re going to do. Every single day.
Looking forward to connecting,
