18. We have literally thousands of satisfied customers and we have the photos and testimonials to back it up. You can rest assured that when you choose Durante to work on your home, you will be completely satisfied with the work we do.

At Durante, if for any reason you have a problem with anything we will make it right. If a lawn mower slings a rock and cracks your window, we’ll fix that.  And if that neighbor kid you don’t like too much throws a rock and breaks your window- we still fix that too (not the neighbor kid, just the window)
20. Our Installers. Clean, Courteous, Professional. The best of the best. We will never send a Neanderthal-looking person over to work on your home.

Our installers will show up when they say they will, clean up after themselves before they leave your home,  and they will even hang your blinds  back up for you before they leave.
21. Wider Product Selection So You Have Better Options.  It would be very annoying to call a car dealer only to discover they have just one make and model of the car you’re interested in. Same with Home Improvement.  At Durante, we have a much wider product selection than other companies and we also have more customizable options & advanced hard to find features. This is another way that we cater to you.  This way you don’t get just a product you like, you will get something you will LOVE.

36. Our Job Sites- CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
37. Our service department is Amazing. If you ever have a question or a concern, you get patched through to our amazing Customer Care department who’s whole purpose is in life is to get you the answer you need FAST. The box stores can’t offer this convenience and speed. If you have a problem with a product, they will make you take the product out yourself, strap to your car, and take it back to the store, then you have to wait on them to send the product back to the factory, then whenever the factory ships it back, you have to go back to the store and pick it back up yourself, strap it back to the roof of your car, take it back to your house, and re-install it yourself. Or you could go with Durante.

42. Frames insulated the same way your freezer door is—our frames have a higher R value than the walls we put them in.
43. Secure Seal Meeting rail system—the perfect combination of strength, security and thermal efficiency
