A Contractor You Can Count On
Discover why homeowners across Northeast Florida choose our honest home improvement team for windows, doors, siding, lanai, and sunroom projects.
Have you played the “if you sign today, we’ll drop the price by 45%” game with a contractor? Sounds like a bargain, right?
Wrong. What they’re not telling is they inflated the price by 45% to begin with. So you’re just breaking even…and wasting time getting there.
Who has the time and energy for that? We don’t! That’s why we cut to the chase when estimating your next window, door, siding, sunroom, or lanai conversion project.
No fake price drops. No phony sales gimmicks. No smoke and mirrors. Though we do offer ways to save additional money, you’ll always get honest advice and STRAIGHTFORWARD pricing. Period.
Here’s a common scenario in the remodeling world: A contractor gives you a quote you like. You sign it. Then they tack on additional costs as they go. For. Every. Little. Thing.
We don’t nickel and dime you at Preferred Upgrades. Our sales reps know exactly what to look for when creating your quote. So you don’t end up with any additional charges at the end.
Now, sometimes, hidden issues do reveal themselves once we start a project that may require a re-assessment. But if we overlook a minor component we should have seen, we cover the cost. Barring extreme situations, when you receive your accurate quote from us, that’s what you can expect to pay. And not a dime more.
You know what we never hear a customer say? “We didn’t hear from you.”
Trying to unsuccessfully reach your contractor is frustrating enough. But being left in the dark during your exterior home project is downright infuriating. That’s why we go out of our way to keep you in the loop throughout your whole project. Our goal is to answer your questions… BEFORE you think to ask them!
From product delivery updates to your installation scheduling, we keep you informed and in the know the whole time. You won’t have to check on our progress or the status of your project. We beat you to it!
As a former Marine, company owner Ray Ewing knows a thing or two about the value of a professional appearance. He still keeps his hair off the ears, his shoes shined, and his clothes pressed.
But these trademarks mean even more than what meets the eye. It shows a level of professionalism you’ll be hard-pressed (pun intended) to find with those other guys.
Our reps show up on time, and with our slacks and uniform shirts, we look like the professionals we are. Whether through our punctuality and appearance or our courteous manners, you’ll find nothing but total professionalism with us.
When it comes to Jacksonville exterior home improvement, what is important to one person may not be important to someone else. Each home is different, with its specific needs, and each project demands its own personalization.

Whether you’re looking for more energy-efficient windows or a heavy-duty entry door, we work hard to understand exactly what you want. And when we listen to you, we can ensure you get the results you expect.
