Fostering a healthy culture is the lifeblood of our team here at Benchmark. It is so exciting to see our team pick up this mantle and run with it. In turn, many of the other primary considerations that attract and retain the best employees are further enhanced as each team member’s earnings, benefits, professional growth, and our team reputation increase as we all pull together."

Safety & Quality

Exceptional Sales & Service


Benchmark’s estimating team is passionate about taking our wealth of industry and system knowledge and sharing this with our customers. We are committed to getting it right the first time. Our number one sales strategy is our commitment to service, and it shows. Our customers regularly cite our estimating team’s attention to detail, expert insight, and exceptionally thorough proposals. These factors often put us in a consultative position where we identify issues and proactively advise our customers on glazing and panel system limitations or requirements - fending off significant project delays or issues further on in the construction process.
At the heart of this, we help our customers understand the true cost of their projects. Over the years we’ve learned that it’s never too soon to get us involved in the architectural and pre-construction phases of planning. The sooner we are involved, the more we can help refine the scope, impact cost savings and help perfect product application. Reach out to our team of expert Benchmark estimators today for our input on your glass, curtainwall, storefront, windows, and panel needs. You can expect to promptly receive a professional, thoughtful, and reliable response.
