Established Window & Door Company in Clearwater, FL

Impact-rated windows are constructed with laminated glass and reinforced frames designed to withstand high-velocity wind-borne debris and sustained hurricane-force winds, including Cat 5 and above conditions. Standard residential windows, particularly older single-pane aluminum-framed units, offer very little resistance to storm pressure and can fail in ways that compromise the structural integrity of the entire building. Impact-rated products also provide secondary benefits including noise reduction, improved energy efficiency, and added resistance against forced entry.

No. Every installer who works on a Hom-Excel project is a direct payroll employee of the company. This policy applies to every job, regardless of size or location. Using in-house staff rather than third-party labor allows Hom-Excel to maintain consistent quality control and direct accountability on every installation. Crew members arrive in branded, wrapped vehicles wearing company uniforms, so you always know exactly who is working in your home.

Hom-Excel's lifetime transferable warranty covers both parts and labor with no pro-rating and no trip charges. It is not a limited or tiered warranty that diminishes over time. Because the warranty transfers to subsequent homeowners, it remains in effect if you sell your property, which means it functions as a documented asset that can add value to a real estate transaction. The warranty is backed by a company that has operated from the same Clearwater location for nearly three decades.

Yes. Installing impact-rated windows and doors has been shown to reduce Florida homeowners insurance premiums by 4% to 15%. Florida insurers recognize impact-rated products as a verified risk reduction, particularly in coastal and high-wind zones across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco Counties. The specific discount you qualify for will depend on your insurer and the products installed, but the reduction is a well-documented benefit that many Hom-Excel customers factor into their return-on-investment calculations.

Hom-Excel is a factory-direct, premier dealer for both Simonton and PGT WinGuard. Hom-Excel was the first company to introduce Simonton windows to Florida in 1997 and has maintained that direct manufacturer relationship ever since. PGT WinGuard products are manufactured in Florida, making them specifically engineered for the state's hurricane exposure and climate conditions. Both brands are available through our Clearwater operation for residential and condominium projects across the Tampa Bay area.

Hom-Excel has historically focused on the condominium market, which currently represents the majority of our project volume, but we are actively expanding our services to residential homeowners across Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the broader Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco County area. Residential projects include impact window replacement, entry door installation, sliding glass doors, French doors, and pool doors. Free in-home estimates are available for both residential and condominium properties.

Hom-Excel holds a State Glass and Glazing License (SCC131154659), which authorizes work across the entire state of Florida. Many window and door contractors in the Tampa Bay area hold only a local county license, which limits the scope and scale of projects they can legally perform. Hom-Excel's state-level credential, combined with its Pinellas County License #C-7959, provides a higher level of legal authority and institutional accountability for customers undertaking high-value projects.

Hom-Excel maintains a dedicated in-house service team that responds to service calls within 24 to 48 hours. This team handles maintenance and repair on Hom-Excel installations and also performs strategic repairs on competitor products. Because all service staff are Hom-Excel payroll employees, response times and quality standards are managed directly by the company rather than being dependent on third-party scheduling.
