No surprises, from first call to final walkthrough.

Step by Step

Seven steps. One team the whole way.

  1. 1

    You reach out

    Fill out the short form or call (813) 867-0320. A real person calls you back within 2 business hours to learn about your home and set up a visit at a time that works for you.

    • A quick call, not a sales pitch
    • A visit scheduled around your day
  2. 2

    We inspect and listen

    We walk your home with you, on the roof, around every window, and along every wall, and take photos of what we find. Then we ask about your goals: storm protection, energy savings, curb appeal, budget, timeline.

    • Photos of what we see, so you see it too
    • Straight answers on repair vs. replace
  3. 3

    We educate and give you options

    We explain the products, the trade-offs, and what Florida code requires versus what we'd recommend. We educate and provide options. We don't preach one solution or pressure.

    • Good, better, and best options where they make sense
    • No "sign tonight" deals
  4. 4

    You get a clear, written proposal

    Product, installation, permit, warranty, and total price, all in writing, including how things like rotted wood are priced. 0% financing and low monthly payment options are available for qualified homeowners. Take all the time you need.

    • Every line item spelled out
    • The number you agree to is the number you pay
  5. 5

    We measure, order, and permit

    Once you approve, we do a final field measure and you sign off before anything is ordered. We pull the permit and keep you posted on product arrival and your install date.

    • Impact windows and doors usually take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the manufacturer
    • Roofing and siding can usually start within a few weeks, depending on your county's permitting requirements
    • We handle the permit paperwork
  6. 6

    Install day, done right

    Our crew shows up when promised, protects your floors and landscaping, and cleans up every day. Steve oversees every install, and you'll get updates by text, call, or email.

    • Daily cleanup and old materials hauled away
    • Work done to code and the manufacturer's instructions
  7. 7

    Inspection, walkthrough, and the owners' cell numbers

    We schedule the final inspection, walk the finished job with you, and hand over your warranty paperwork. Every customer gets the owners' cell numbers, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.

    • 10-year labor and workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty
    • A direct line to Billy and Steve
How Long It Takes

Typical timelines by project.

Every home is different. You'll get a schedule for your project before we start.

The Mom Test Promise

What you'll never get from us.

✕

High-pressure sales. No "this price is only good tonight."

✕

Surprise bills. How extra work is priced is in your proposal up front.

✕

The disappearing act. No handing you off once the contract is signed.

✕

Work we wouldn't do on our own mom's house. If we wouldn't do it for her, we won't do it for you.

"We want you to be proud you picked us. If you're not, we haven't finished the job yet."
