What the file counts
As of October 19, 2026
The DBPR file dated October 19, 20261 lists 667 businesses1 by a Window and Door Installation or a Glass and Glazing license that is active in the file, with a Florida mailing city (our arithmetic). Of those, 71 businesses1 are listed by the Window and Door Installation class. Only cities with enough businesses with a ZIP code inside the city get a page below, so the city pages list fewer.
What does a window and door installation license cover?
As of October 23, 2026
DBPR's rule says a window and door installation specialty contractor may install, replace and service exterior windows and doors, including hurricane protection devices, shutters and hardware (rule 61G4-15.100(1)(j)) 2. DBPR lists Window and Door Installation as its own license category 3.
What does a glass and glazing license cover?
As of October 23, 2026
DBPR's rule says a glass and glazing specialty contractor may install all types of windows and glass, with no height restriction, including structurally anchored impact-resistant opening protection on existing structures (rule 61G4-15.100(1)(s)) 2. The class covers all types of glass work, so the class alone does not show that a business does home window work.
