HOM-EXCEL WINDOWS: A COMPANY HISTORY BUILT ON Over 60 YEARS OF TRUST IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA
Hom-Excel Windows has been protecting Florida homes and condominiums since 1997. What started as a family commitment to quality fenestration has grown into one of the most trusted window and door companies in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties. With over 60 years of fenestration expertise behind every installation, the Hom-Excel windows company history is one of permanence, craftsmanship, and a reputation built almost entirely on the recommendations of satisfied customers.
Family-Owned Window Contractor in Clearwater, FL
FAMILY OWNED FOR 3 GENERATIONS, ROOTED IN A LEGACY OF OVER 60 YEARS
Hom-Excel was founded in 1965 and has remained a family-owned window contractor ever since. Today, the company is managed by Dan Provenzano, Owner and Vice President, and Gene Provenzano, Owner and President. The business was formally incorporated on December 9, 1997, the same year it became the first company to bring Simonton windows to the Florida market. That milestone cemented Hom-Excel's position as a factory-direct premier dealer, a distinction that gives customers access to competitive pricing and a direct line to the manufacturer without going through a middleman. For more than 30 years, Hom-Excel has operated from the same location in Clearwater. In a market where contractors come and go, that kind of physical permanence is a statement of accountability. It means the lifetime transferable warranty the company stands behind is backed by a business that has been at the same address for three decades and plans to stay.

Trusted Window Company Florida Homeowners Rely On
60 YEARS OF FENESTRATION EXPERTISE, ZERO SUBCONTRACTORS
One of the clearest signs of Hom-Excel's commitment to quality is its strict no-subcontractor policy. Every installer who enters a customer's home is a Hom-Excel payroll employee, including experienced team members like Kaleb, Barvon, Eric, Tyler, and Tom. This is not the industry standard. Most window companies in Florida rely on third-party labor, which makes accountability difficult. At Hom-Excel, the people who show up to install your windows are the same people who represent the brand every day. The result is a 95% referral rate. Nearly every new project comes from a neighbor, a friend, or a family member who has already experienced the work firsthand. In condo communities across Tampa Bay, a single Hom-Excel installation has regularly led to four to six neighboring units signing contracts, driven by the visible professionalism of the company's branded fleet and uniformed staff. Herb leads the sales side with a no-pressure approach that has defined the brand for decades, while Perry manages the in-house service team, which responds to service calls within 24 to 48 hours. The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and carries State Glass and Glazing License SCC131154659, a state-wide credential that exceeds the local municipal certifications held by most regional competitors.
Common Questions About Hom-Excel
What Florida Homeowners Ask Us Most
How long has Hom-Excel been in business, and who owns the company today?
Hom-Excel was founded in 1965, making it a 61-year-old family-owned business. The company is currently led by Dan Provenzano, Owner and Vice President, and Gene Provenzano, Owner and President. It was formally incorporated in December 1997, the same year it became the first company to introduce Simonton windows to the Florida market. The business has operated from the same Clearwater location for over 30 years.Does Hom-Excel use subcontractors, or are all installers company employees?
Every installer who works on a Hom-Excel project is a direct payroll employee of the company. Hom-Excel does not use subcontractors. This policy ensures consistent quality control and direct accountability on every job. Installers including Kaleb, Barvon, Eric, Tyler, and Tom represent the brand in every home they enter. This is a meaningful distinction in an industry where third-party labor is common and oversight can be inconsistent.What does the Hom-Excel lifetime transferable warranty cover?
The lifetime transferable warranty covers both parts and labor with no pro-rating and no trip charges. The warranty transfers to subsequent owners of the home, which means it functions as a real estate asset. Because Hom-Excel has maintained the same physical location in Clearwater for over 30 years, customers can be confident the company will be there to honor its long-term commitments. Most competitors with lifetime warranty claims do not have that kind of institutional permanence to back them up.What licenses does Hom-Excel hold, and why does that matter for Florida homeowners?
Hom-Excel holds State Glass and Glazing License SCC131154659, a state-wide credential that authorizes the company to operate across all of Florida. This exceeds the local municipal or county-level licenses held by most regional window contractors. The company also holds Pinellas County License C-7959. A state-level license means Hom-Excel can legally handle high-value, complex projects across jurisdictions, offering homeowners a level of assurance that smaller, locally licensed firms cannot provide.What areas does Hom-Excel serve, and how far does the service radius extend?
Hom-Excel's primary service area covers Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties in the Tampa Bay region. The company operates with a 90-mile referral radius, which reflects the geographic reach of its customer base. With a state-wide Glass and Glazing License, the company also has the authority to take on projects throughout Florida, including communities across Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and surrounding coastal and inland areas.Why does Hom-Excel have such a high referral rate?
Approximately 95% of Hom-Excel's new business comes from referrals. This reflects a self-sustaining model built on post-installation satisfaction rather than outbound sales tactics. In condo communities, a single completed project often leads to four to six neighboring units requesting installations, driven by the visible quality of the work and the professionalism of the uniformed, branded team. An A+ BBB rating and 61 years in business reinforce the trust that produces this level of word-of-mouth volume.What window and door brands does Hom-Excel install, and what does factory-direct status mean?
Hom-Excel installs impact-rated products from Simonton, including the StormBreaker Plus line, and PGT WinGuard, which is manufactured in Florida. The company was the first to bring Simonton to the Florida market in 1997 and has maintained a premier dealer relationship since then. Factory-direct status means Hom-Excel works directly with the manufacturer, reducing supply chain friction and allowing competitive pricing on premium products. Additional partners include BHI Doors and Eastern Window Products.Does Hom-Excel offer financing or discounts?
Financing is available through Synchrony for qualifying customers. Hom-Excel also offers a discount for AARP members and a $100 referral bonus for customers who refer a neighbor or friend who completes a project. Free in-home estimates are available with no sales pressure. These options reflect the company's commitment to making quality impact-rated windows and doors accessible to a broad range of homeowners and condo residents across the Tampa Bay area.
