“We feel there is a niche there, to help our typical customer that is looking to have a worry free remodeling experience with the great customer service we are known for,” Gentile said.
Comfort Windows hired new staff for the showroom and anticipates adding more employees in 2014 as “the location grows,” Gentile said.
The company has one employee operating the Ithaca location as of now, Scott Brown, director of marketing, said in an email message to the Business Journal News Network.
