Updated August 2026. Picking an impact window contractor in Florida is a paperwork and crew decision. The glass only performs if the permit, Product Approval, and install match your openings. This is a checklist, not a ranking of every company in South Florida.

Quick answer

Verify the license, get the permit in the written bid, ask who is on your house, and match Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA numbers to your sizes and design pressures. More detail: 8 questions before you hire.

What belongs in the bid

  • License: Statewide Windows & Doors holds specialty contractor SCC131152028 and roofing CCC1335805. Check any bidder at Florida DBPR.
  • Permit and inspections: if the contractor asks you to pull the permit yourself, treat that as a warning.
  • Product documents: approval/NOA sheets for the exact units, not a generic brochure.
  • Crew: ask who measures and who sets. Get it in writing.
  • Warranty split: manufacturer vs installer. Who services a leak two years later.
  • CBS prep: see block waterproofing.

Price without those items is not a comparable bid.

FAQ

Is the lowest bid the problem?

Often the low number left out permit, waterproofing, or a matching approval. Compare line items, not the bottom total.
