The American dream is built on hard work, dedication, and the drive to create something meaningful. For Gintaras Juknys and CJ Mirinavicius, that dream materialized in Legacy Windows, a company dedicated to bringing high-quality European window and door technology to homes across the U.S.

A Family Legacy Built on Passion and Experience

Gintaras Juknys arrived in America 30 years ago, determined to build a better future. With a background in home building and remodeling, he spent years honing his craft and running a successful construction business. But his ultimate goal extended beyond just building homes—he wanted to establish a lasting legacy for his four children and the community he now calls home, Chicago.

CJ Mirinavicius, Gintaras' cousin, shares that same entrepreneurial spirit. With a keen business mindset and strong connections in Europe, CJ envisioned a company that would not only provide high-quality products but also create opportunities for his family and future generations. Together, they founded Legacy Windows in 2021, with a mission to revolutionize the window and door industry in the U.S. by offering top-tier European PVC technology.

Bridging the Gap: European Craftsmanship in America

Legacy Windows was born out of a common frustration in home construction—the challenge of choosing between price and quality. Coming from Europe, both Gintaras and CJ knew there were better options available: windows and doors that offered superior energy efficiency, sustainability, and innovation without sacrificing affordability. Their goal was simple—to introduce European-grade products to the Chicagoland area and beyond.

Innovative Products and Personalized Service

Legacy Windows specializes in European PVC window and door technology, a game-changer for American homeowners looking for durability, efficiency, and sleek design. However, introducing a relatively unfamiliar product to the U.S. market presented its own set of challenges. Many consumers had never encountered these high-performance windows and doors before, making education a crucial part of the business.

To address this, Legacy Windows opened a state-of-the-art showroom where customers can experience the products firsthand. This hands-on approach allows homeowners, builders, and architects to see and feel the difference in craftsmanship and functionality before making a purchase.

Expanding Across the Midwest and Beyond

Since its inception, Legacy Windows has been steadily growing. In addition to serving the Chicagoland area, the company has completed projects in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona, and Colorado. Looking ahead, Gintaras and CJ have ambitious plans to expand their reach, ensuring more communities benefit from their premium products.

More Than Just Business—A Passion for Life

Beyond their dedication to the business, both founders have unique passions that add depth to their stories. Gintaras, for example, holds a degree in music conducting and plays multiple instruments, while CJ is a skilled pool player who actively competes in tournaments. These talents reflect their dynamic personalities and the well-rounded approach they bring to their work.

Legacy Windows isn’t just about selling windows and doors—it’s about building lasting relationships, offering superior products, and leaving behind a legacy of quality and trust. As they continue to grow, Gintaras and CJ remain committed to bringing the best of European craftsmanship to American homes, one window at a time.
