Updated August 2026. Searching “top home improvement company in Florida” will not tell you who can actually put windows, doors, and a roof on a Florida house. Florida treats openings and roofing as different trades. Look for the license that matches the work, an approval that matches the window, and a company that can handle the envelope you actually need. Statewide Windows & Doors does impact windows, impact doors, Florida roofing, motorized outdoor screens, and commercial windows and doors. This is not a ranking. It is what to look for.
The short version
- Licenses: Openings and roofs are different Florida license classes. Ask for the number that matches the work. Statewide publishes specialty contractor SCC131152028 and roofing CCC1335805. Check any company at Florida DBPR.
- Approvals: The unit on the quote needs a current Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval (FL#) that matches the specific window and approved configuration. In Miami-Dade and Broward (HVHZ), that approval has to be for HVHZ use. Brand names are not approvals.
- Scope: Permit, inspections, and who pulls them belong in the written price. If windows and a roof are both in play, one schedule is simpler than two companies guessing at the flashing.

What full-service actually covers in Florida
Most “home improvement” lists mix painters, kitchen remodels, and window shops. On a Florida house the envelope work is usually some mix of:
- Windows: replacement units and impact-rated systems where the opening and the code require them.
- Doors: exterior entry, sliding, and impact-rated openings. Same approval rule as the windows.
- Roofing: replacement, repair, and the tile, metal, or shingle system on the quote. A specialty window license does not pull a re-roof.
- Motorized outdoor screens: patio, lanai, and pool-deck systems when you want shade, privacy, or a screened opening without a second contractor.
Commercial windows, doors, and storefronts are a separate job type. Do not treat a house project and an occupied building as the same crew plan. Statewide does that Florida mix. This article is Florida work only.
Two licenses, not a slogan
Florida will not accept “we’re a home improvement company” on a permit application. Window and door replacement is specialty contractor work. A re-roof is certified roofing contractor work. If the proposal includes both, you should see both numbers, or a written split that names who is pulling each permit.
Statewide Windows & Doors publishes SCC131152028 (specialty) and CCC1335805 (roofing). That is a checkable fact, not a trophy. Ask every other company for the same paperwork. If they cannot produce a license that matches the trade, stop.
For what belongs on a window-only quote, see how to choose an impact window contractor. This page does not repeat that checklist.
Approvals beat “high quality”
Impact-resistant glass can crack when struck. The laminated interlayer is designed to hold broken glass together and resist penetration, helping protect the building envelope. It is not hurricane-proof. The assembly only matches the test if the size, design pressure, anchors, and opening match the approval.
Ask for the NOA or FL# on the actual windows and doors, not a brochure photo. In the HVHZ, products must be approved for HVHZ use, which may be a Miami-Dade NOA or a Florida Product Approval approved for the HVHZ. Low-E coatings can help with heat. They do not replace a tight install, and they are not a promised drop in your power bill.
FAQ
Do I have to hire one company for windows and the roof?
No. Two licensed companies can still do clean work if the scopes meet. One schedule is simpler when flashing, sequencing, and inspections overlap. Compare that, not a slogan.
Should I pick from a “top 10 Florida” list?
Those lists are not a permit. They will not tell you who holds the roofing license or whether the window on the quote is approved for your opening. Check licenses, paperwork, and scope.
