West Shore Home Acquires Rochester-Based Home Improvement Company, Expanding Presence in New York

National remodeling giant West Shore Home enters the New York market, bringing its high-speed sales and integrated financing model to Rochester and Buffalo.

West Shore Home has officially acquired Wonder Windows, Showers & Baths, a prominent home improvement player in Rochester and Buffalo, New York.

By absorbing a regional leader, West Shore is likely to introduce its aggressive, high-velocity sales and financing engine to the Upstate New York market.
