WHITESBORO, N.Y. — Home-improvement business New York Sash made some team updates as the business continues to grow.

The biggest change is the return of Jill Hayes, who now serves as the company’s CEO.

“It’s such a great feeling to be back in the office,” she said in a statement. “New York Sash has come so far since I left, and I’m excited to see how much more we can do. With the help of my amazing team, I’m committed to giving homeowners the very best experience with their home-remodeling projects, to making New York Sash the best place to work, and giving back to this wonderful community we’re lucky to be a part of.”

Hayes, wife of business owner Scot Hayes, first joined the company in 1995 and served for more than 20 years as marketing director and then VP. When the couple launched television show “CNY’s Open House,” she also served as the company’s spokesperson. After having children in the mid-2000s, Hayes decided to take a step back from the business to focus on her family.

Now that Jill is back, Scot Hayes will continue as owner of the company, with marketing efforts, on “CNY’s Open House,” and with involvement in organizations, events, and activities in the area.

Along with Jill Hayes as CEO, New York Sash made several other updates to its executive and management team.

Rachel Smith was promoted to VP of production and fulfilment, where she oversees and coordinates the order process and leads the production team.

Ryan Smith took on a leadership role as installation manager, where he leads the department, and the company welcomed back longtime employee Jeff Reilly as measure and product manager.

Founded in 1989, New York Sash is a home-improvement company specializing in replacement windows, siding, and bath products. It serves Chenango, Cortland, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Otsego, and Schoharie counties.
