“In business since 1983, BBB A+ and accredited since 1997 with 45 reviews averaging 4.38/5 and all 11 recent complaints answered or resolved, and its Florida license CMC1249497 is current and active with no public complaints.”
“BBB A+ and accredited with 19 reviews averaging 4.58/5 and one answered complaint in three years, its Florida license CAC1819196 is current and active, and it posts its install prices and names 33629 as a service area.”
“In business since 1978, BBB A+ and accredited since 2015 with one resolved complaint in three years, and its Florida license CAC1814731 is current and active, though it ranks third because BBB shows only one review.”
“It's BBB A+ but not accredited, with 11 complaints in three years, its office is in St. Petersburg, and its current license only dates from 2023 after a 2022 ownership change.”
“BBB doesn't rate it and shows no reviews, and the license number on its website (CAC1818982) is inactive, even though the company holds a separate active license (CAC058498).”
“Its Florida license record shows a 2020 enforcement case closed as a violation found and corrected, the license's main address is in Albion, NY, and no BBB profile turned up.”
“None of the pages I opened showed a Florida license number, and BBB searches didn't find a profile, so I couldn't verify it.”
“It's based in New Port Richey, well north of South Tampa, so I didn't check its license or BBB record.”

“Its Tampa Bay replacement page provides direct local installation and equipment options.”
“Its calculator is useful for preparation but selected sources give clearer published scope and installation service detail.”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
