What Should You Look for in a Window Company?

Not all window contractors are created equal. Here’s how to spot the difference – and why Bay Glass stands apart.

Class A General Contractor License

Most window companies only hold specialty licenses. Bay Glass holds a Class A General Contractor License -the highest level in Florida. This means we’re qualified to handle every aspect of your project, from structural modifications to final inspection, all under one roof.

In-House Structural Engineer

Unlike competitors who outsource or skip this step entirely, Bay Glass has a structural engineer on staff. This ensures your window installation meets all load-bearing requirements and building codes—critical for hurricane protection.

W-2 Employees, Not Subcontractors

Every installer on your project is a Bay Glass employee—trained, insured, and accountable.
We never use subcontractors. That means consistent quality, better communication, and workers’ comp coverage that protects you.

20+ Years Built on Reputation Alone

We’ve been serving Tampa Bay since 2003—and until recently, we grew entirely through word-of-mouth referrals. Our 859 five-star reviews aren’t bought; they’re earned project by project.

6 Reasons Bay Glass Is Tampa Bay's Top Choice

Choose From 4 Premium Manufacturers

Unlike companies locked into selling their own brand, we offer PGT, Viwinco, ES Windows, and Euro-Wall. We’ll recommend the RIGHT product for your needs and budget—not just the one that pays us the highest commission. Every manufacturer offers lifetime or extended warranties.

Tampa Bay's Only Class A Licensed Impact Window Contractor

We’re not just a “window company”—we’re a fully licensed Class A General Contractor. That means we handle permits, meet all building codes, and have the credentials to tackle both residential AND commercial projects. You’re working with true professionals.

Save Up to 45% on Home Insurance

Impact windows qualify for Florida wind mitigation credits. Most homeowners in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties save $1,500-$3,000 per year on insurance premiums. We’ll help you get the documentation you need to maximize your savings. The windows often pay for themselves in 5-7 years.

20+ Years Serving Tampa Bay—Built on Word of Mouth

We’re based in St. Petersburg and focused on the Tampa Bay area—not spread thin across Florida. For two decades, we grew almost entirely through referrals and reputation. Our 859 five-star reviews speak for themselves. When you need service in year 5, 10, or 15, you’re calling the same local team who installed your windows.

Cut Your Energy Bills Up To 20-30%

Impact windows block heat transfer and UV rays, keeping your home cooler year-round. Many homeowners in St. Petersburg and throughout Tampa Bay see $100-200/month reductions in cooling costs. All three manufacturers we carry offer ENERGY STAR® rated options.

More Than Just Windows—Complete Storm Defense

We offer windows, doors, hurricane shutters, AND flood protection systems. Other companies only do windows. We protect every opening in your home with products from 10 different manufacturers. One contractor, complete protection.

Common Questions Answered

Why should I choose Bay Glass over other window companies?

Three things set us apart: First, we’re a Class A General Contractor with an in-house structural engineer—not just a window installer. Second, every person on your job site is a W-2 Bay Glass employee, never a subcontractor. And third, we’ve built our reputation over 20+ years almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals—our 859 five-star reviews reflect that commitment to quality. We also offer products from four different manufacturers, so we recommend what’s best for you, not what pays us the most.

How much do impact windows cost?

Pricing varies based on window size, style, and manufacturer. Most homeowners in the Tampa Bay area invest $10,000-$40,000 for whole-home protection. However, with insurance savings of $1,500-$3,000/year and energy savings of $1,200-$2,400/year, the windows typically pay for themselves in 5-7 years. Plus, financing options make monthly payments manageable.

How long does installation take?

Most residential projects take 1-3 days depending on the number of windows. We handle all permits during the production waiting period (typically 6-8 weeks), so your project moves quickly once windows arrive. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

What's included in your 1-year installation warranty?

Our installation is guaranteed for one full year. If there’s any issue with our workmanship—improper sealing, alignment problems, water intrusion due to installation—we’ll fix it at no cost. This is in addition to the lifetime manufacturer warranty covering the windows themselves.

Do you offer financing?

Yes! We partner with Regions Bank to offer flexible financing with promotional same-as-cash options. Many homeowners choose to finance and use the immediate insurance savings to offset monthly payments. We’ll discuss all financing options during your free consultation.

How do I know if I'm in a hurricane zone requiring impact windows?

Most of Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties fall under wind-borne debris regions (WBDR), with coastal areas having stricter requirements. During your free consultation, we’ll confirm your local building code requirements and help you understand which products meet or exceed those standards. We handle all the permit paperwork for you.

Can I get a quote without a home visit?

We can provide a rough estimate based on your quiz answers, but accurate pricing requires an in-home measurement. Our consultations are pressure-free and typically take 45-60 minutes. You’ll see actual product samples, get exact pricing, and understand all your options before making any decisions.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1: Consultation & Selection

Our professional sales consultant meets you at your home to discuss your needs, show product samples, provide accurate pricing, and prepare your custom quote. No pressure—just information.

Step 2: Measurement & Permits

Once you approve the order, our project manager takes final measurements for custom production. We handle all permitting and building department paperwork while your windows are being manufactured.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Our licensed installation crew completes your project efficiently and professionally. All installers are W-2 employees (never subcontractors), fully insured, and experienced in impact-rated products.

Hurricane Season
Approaches—Don't Wait

Hurricane season runs June 1 – November 30. Production time for custom windows is typically 6-8 weeks. If you want protection before peak storm season, schedule your free consultation today.
