My Safe Florida Home no longer keeps an approved contractor list. Who can legally do the work, what the program checks, and who fronts the money under the grant.
Four public records vet a Florida impact window contractor in ten minutes: the DBPR license and its qualifier, permit history, insurance, and product approvals.
What impact window warranties actually cover: PGT, CGI, ES Windows, ECO, and EAS terms compared from the current documents, including the deadlines, maintenance logs, and exclusions that decide real claims.
Impact windows are a smart upgrade in Palm Beach, but the install isn’t plug-and-play. Avoid the five mistakes that waste money and weaken protection: wrong ratings, the wrong installer, skipped permits, poor energy choices, and rushed timelines that collide with hurricane season.
