Our Core Services
We specialize in home upgrades that not only improve the look of your home but also add long-term value and comfort:
Windows
Florida homes take a beating from heat and storms, which is why window upgrades are one of our most requested services. Our energy-efficient windows help keep your home cool, reduce noise, and lower your energy bills. We offer a wide selection of styles so you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for performance.
Doors
From a bold new entry door that adds curb appeal to sliding glass doors that connect your living room to your patio, doors play a huge role in both function and style. We install high-quality doors that improve security, efficiency, and design—all while standing up to Florida’s climate.
Siding
Siding isn’t just about looks—it’s about protection. Our siding options shield your home from humidity, storms, and salt air, all while giving it a fresh, updated appearance. With professional installation, your home’s exterior will not only look great but also last for years to come.
Lanai & Sunroom
Love your outdoor space but wish you could use it year-round? Our lanai and sunroom conversions create bright, comfortable spaces that add usable square footage to your home.

The Simonton Impact windows give us security from storms and the Alside Mezzo's provide a classy presentation to the front of the house. The new doors, windows and siding are a great improvement and we thank Ray Ewing for making this process go so smoothly!Posted on Ben Baker2024-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Received more window quotes than I’d like to admit given the cost and amount of windows. Went with Preferred Upgrades and was not disappointed. Felt Ray was the most straight forward and honest, and he didn’t try any high pressure tactics like the others. I was nervous about replacing 18 windows in a 100 year old home, but install only took two days and nothing was added on top of the quote. Installation crew was on time and efficient, they cleaned everything up and even put all the blinds back up. Superior service and quality, would highly recommend.Posted on Ian Northcutt2024-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!! Everyone we worked with were extremely professional and helpful. Everything was on time and smooth. We are very happy with our new windows and 8 foot sliding door. They also did excellent work on our siding repairs, even going above and beyond and repairing a couple extra spots of trim around my garage.Posted on Tanya Engelbrecht2024-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not say enough how happy I am with the service I received. Ray was fantastic and you can tell that he values his customers. He stopped by almost every day. We had 53 windows replaced. The end results were beautiful. .
