“Come Home to Cortese” Home: it’s more than a place. It’s a space of family, confidence, belonging, and sa�sfac�on. For all this and more, we invite you to “Come Home to Cortese.” A family business in its third genera�on, Cortese Construc�on was founded by two hardworking brothers in 1951. Star�ng with no funds and a serious language barrier, Frank and Nick Cortese grew their fledgling business from a concrete company in the basement of Frank’s house into a leader in the concrete industry and finally into what is one of the largest home remodeling companies in Buffalo and Western New York. They achieved their American Dream with passion and dedica�on to excellence. Con�nuing its tradi�on of innova�ve and excep�onal cra�smanship and service, Cortese Construc�on has grown into home remodeling under the leadership of Domenic Cortese, son of Frank Cortese. Following his vision, the company won The Be�er Homes and Gardens Magazine award for best Kitchen and best Bath in the United States. It was the first �me in the magazine’s history that a kitchen and bath in the same house both won first place. Domenic Cortese is probably best known, however, for bringing a new level of reputability to the home renova�on industry. This has been in no small part thanks to his radio show, Hammer�me, on WBEN News Talk 930am. For over 30 years, Domenic has held his call-in Home Improvement Hour on Saturdays at 10 am, and in 2016, he launched Hammer�me TV, as well. His exper�se and transparency con�nue to provide listeners with credible informa�on for tackling difficult home improvement issues. Today, Cortese Construc�on, the area’s most experienced and trusted home renova�on company, is run by Domenic Cortese and his three children: Philip Cortese, Nicholas Cortese, and Michelle Cortese-Manfredo. Bringing Cortese Construc�on into its third genera�on, Philip, Nicholas, and Michelle worked their way up through the company, con�nuing to advance it as the area’s elite contractor for any home remodeling needs. In 2012, Domenic Cortese and family were humbled when Cortese Construc�on Service Corp. was honored as Buffalo Niagara’s Business Ethic award recipient for their outstanding opera�on in the day-to-day business treatment of its customers. Now in its new loca�on, Cortese Construc�on, Western New York’s one-stop, home renova�on shop is showcasing everything they do. Home products, such as Cortese’s proprietary full-custom cabinetry line, Bella Cucina, are displayed in its 3,000 sq. �. showroom as real-world vigne�es, with addi�onal rows of racks and displays discretely concealed from view. Warm and invi�ng, these vigne�es (approximately 7 kitchens & bathrooms respec�vely) give the imagina�on a clear and vivid vision while allowing customers to experience product func�onality.
PASSIONATE ABOUT PROVIDING THE BEST RESULTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS “From day one of the consultation to the last day they completed work, Cortese was incredible. Every step of the process was clearly articulated, planned, and implemented. The quality of the materials, the quality of the work and most importantly, the quality of the people were top notch. We have received so many compliments on the work, and we couldn’t be more proud to tell everyone that Cortese Construction did it all.” – PJ Tudisco
