The impact windows contract, and the difference between a founding date and a filing

The Clearwater impact windows contract runs ninety days against Clearwater Window & Door Inc, a Florida corporation filed on 17 February 1984 and reading ACTIVE on the state register today. That filing is forty-two years old. The 1957 date the company publishes about itself sits on a different corporation, and no filing connects them.

Impact windows — the mark

Clearwater Window & Door Inc

Clearwater

Forty-two years on the state register; the 1957 date sits on a different corporation.

Every reading on this page came from a public source that anyone can check. Each one names the register or platform it was read from, and the date it was read, in the list at the bottom.

The searches they hold, and where they come back

The contract fixes fifteen searches in writing before any work starts — the ones somebody in Clearwater actually types when they need impact windows. This is where Clearwater Window & Door Inc came back on the ones they hold, and what came back above them. A position reads “5 of 6” because it is a place in the list that search returned, not a rank we can see inside Google.

10 of the fifteen, read once on August 1, 2026. A single reading on a single day is a snapshot, not a trend, and nothing here claims a position holds tomorrow. Counts of who came back above them cover the domains whose owner we could establish; where we could not, the domain is left out of those counts rather than guessed into one, so they are a floor.

Who they are, on the record

Every line here is a filing the company made itself, read from the state’s own register on August 1, 2026. It is here because a contract names a company, and a company is whatever the register says it is.

Read from the register’s own detail pages, not from a search result. A found record is not an active record, and a status in a results list is not a status.

Why we are willing to name them

Naming a real company in public is a decision, not a flourish. Three things have to be true before a business appears on this board, and each one is a reading rather than an opinion. A business that fails any of them is not named, and the trade ships without a target — which has happened.

  1. Nobody bigger is standing behind them

    The corporation's own filing names two natural persons — a President and a Vice-President — and a corporate-services registered agent. No member entity, no manager entity and no holding company appears on it, and the record carries no name history. The Vice-President's name was searched and every other Florida entity it surfaced was opened to its own detail record and resolved to a different principal, a different county and a different trade. The President's name is common enough that the register returns it as a window rather than a list, so the gate rests on the filing itself, which names no parent.

  2. The company is trading today, on the state's own record

    The detail record reads "Status ACTIVE", and thirty-one annual reports are on file between August 1995 and the report filed on 28 April 2026, with a reinstatement filed in December 2011 in the one year that has none. That status was read from the register's own detail page and never from a column in a results list, because a status printed in a list is not a status.

  3. Every figure here was read again before it was published

    The entity record, the 1957 record, the street index and three rivals' detail records were all re-read from the register the day this page is dated. Where a route failed it was recorded as a failed route rather than as a finding: the register's document-number lookup returned its own application-error page four times running, so every record here was reached by the entity-name route instead and read from the detail page it links to.

The field they sit in

Thirty-one distinct domains came back across the fifteen impact window searches this contract tracks, and fourteen of them returned on four or more. The largest block whose owner resolves is independent installers with active Florida corporations: two franchise-or-dealer domains and one private-equity-held remodeler returned, while directories held the top slot on seven of the fifteen. Fifteen domains were seen too rarely to classify or could not be resolved to an owner, and they are counted as unclassified rather than as local firms.

Counted across all fifteen searches. A domain seen once or twice is left unclassified rather than counted as independent — not knowing who owns something is not the same as knowing it is local.

What their reviews say, and what they do not

Clearwater Window & Door Inc shows 154 reviews at 4.4 on reviews.birdeye.com. Birdeye is a review-syndication vendor, and that is Birdeye's own population on Birdeye's own page, read from the page itself rather than from a search result about it. It is not a Google figure — there is none on this site, for anybody. A search snippet the same day carried a lower pair of numbers; the live read of the page supersedes it and the snippet is used for nothing. Two other platforms carry figures for this business and neither is added to this one, because different platforms count different people and the arithmetic would mean nothing.

You will not find a Google review count anywhere on this site. Google Maps returns a page built by JavaScript to every automated reader we have, on every one of these businesses, so any Google figure we published would be one we had not actually read. Where a number appears, it names the platform it came from instead.

How long they have been visible

Their domain has been archived in a public web archive since 21 July 2009. The page that answers the hurricane-window searches has been archived since October 2019, and the page returning fourth on the top-rated search first appears in the archive on 30 June 2026. All three are first captures, taken against two controls in the same session — one URL with a documented first capture, which returned it, and one well-formed URL that was never archived, which returned an empty list. Running both is what makes these dates readings rather than guesses.

What we are not claiming

Research turns up things that do not survive a second look, and things that are true but not ours to publish. Both are listed here, because a page that prints only the flattering half of its own evidence is a sales page, and this is supposed to be a record.

That this company dates to 1957 as a matter of record.
Their own site says "Since 1957" and a business bureau records the same start year. The state register does not carry that date for this corporation. A Florida corporation of a similar name was filed in November 1957 and voluntarily dissolved in September 1978; the corporation trading today was filed in February 1984. Neither record carries a name history, no fictitious-name registration bridges them, no officer appears on both, the two file different federal tax identifiers, and five years and five months separate them with no instrument filed across the gap. Both dates are published here. The link is not, because the register holds none.
Any county licence status of our own reading.
The county's contractor-search portal returned our own submitted licence number echoed back into its own search box, and nothing else. A record has to come back as a result rather than as the question we asked, so that is a statement about the route rather than a record of anything. A business bureau publishes a county licence number and an expiry for this company; we read that and we do not restate it as though we had confirmed it at the licensing authority ourselves. The state number the company prints beside it, CBC1251417, we did read at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and it is published above.
That any review figure here is a Google figure.
None is. Google Maps returned a page built entirely by JavaScript, carrying no business data at all — which is what it returns for every business on this board, thirteen trades for thirteen. Google's count was not readable from any free route tried, and unreadable is not zero.
Not a ranking, and not a trend.
The table above is where their domain came back on one recorded reading of the fifteen searches, on one day. The session's search budget ran out before a second run of the same fifteen could be taken, and a different engine is not a second run. So nothing here says a position moved, held, or is where they usually sit — and a position reads "four of nine" because it is a place in the list that search returned, not a rank inside anybody's index.
Anything about what a search box suggests when somebody types their name.
Suggestion lists are ordinal and their length is not a search volume. We ran them with a working control in both directions — a real phrase that returned suggestions and an invented one that returned none — recorded what came back, and built no claim on any of it, in either direction.

How long has Clearwater Window & Door been in business?

Clearwater Window & Door Inc trades as a Florida corporation filed on 17 February 1984, which is forty-two years. The company's own site says "Since 1957", and a Florida corporation of a similar name was filed in 1957 — but no filing in the state register connects the two, so this page publishes both dates and no link.

The question was settled seven ways, and every one of them is a fact about the register rather than about the company. The 1957 corporation genuinely exists: filed in November 1957, voluntarily dissolved in September 1978, under five officers. The corporation trading today was filed in February 1984. Between them sit five years and five months in which the register carries no instrument under either name.

Every route a link could have travelled was checked, and each came back empty against a control that worked. Neither record carries a name history — and the same route, run in the same session against a third company, returned an old name exactly as it should, which is what makes those two empty readings readable as empty rather than as a broken search. No fictitious-name registration bridges the gap: the alphabetical window opened past where such a name would sort, and a control name on the same route returned its documented row. No officer appears on both records. The two corporations file different federal tax identifiers.

So the published figure is the operating corporation's own filing date. A bureau's summary says sixty-nine years and the company's own copy says the same thing in different words. Both are recorded in our research and neither is used. This is what a sourced, dated observation looks like on the day it disagrees with the easier number, and it is the reason every figure on this board names the register it came from.

Which searches decide who sells impact windows in Clearwater?

The impact windows contract is graded on fifteen Clearwater searches named in the agreement before any work starts. Five are category terms, five name a specific job — hurricane window replacement, impact door installation — and five are the long questions people put to an assistant. Nothing outside that set counts, in either direction.

The two halves behave differently. On the hurricane-window replacement search this company returned first of eight, and that is the one search of the fifteen where nothing at all came back above them. On the head category search they returned fourth of nine, with two directories and one other installer ahead of them.

A position on this page reads "four of nine" because it is a place in the list that search returned. Nobody outside a search engine can see a rank. What can be read is what came back, in what order, on a stated day — which is why this contract is written against a named set of searches and a date, and settled the same way.

Who else returns on Clearwater impact window searches?

Thirty-one distinct domains returned across the fifteen impact window searches, and fourteen of them came back on four or more. Independent installers are the largest block whose owner resolves, rather than national brands: two franchise-or-dealer domains and one private-equity-held remodeler returned, and directories held the top slot on seven of the fifteen.

That is close to the opposite of what this trade was expected to look like. The national window brands a homeowner could name off the top of their head returned on almost none of these searches. Where the national layer does show up is in the paid slots on a Bing-syndicated result page — one lead site for a national brand advertised on the broad window-replacement search while that brand returned organically on none of the fifteen. Those are Microsoft Ads, not Google's, and they are a different market at a different price.

Fifteen further domains were seen too rarely to classify or could not be resolved to an owner at all, and they are counted as unclassified rather than as local firms. Not knowing who owns something is not the same as knowing it is independent, and the census keeps those two apart on purpose.

What this contract costs, and why this number

The impact windows contract is $12,600 for ninety days against Clearwater Window & Door Inc. Half is due on execution and half only if you finish ahead of them. The figure is computed from four readings — how many of the fifteen searches they hold, how many other firms are ranking alongside them, how long the company has existed, and how consolidated the trade is — and it is scaled against the other twelve trades on the board rather than pulled from a rate card.

Common questions

Why does this page publish forty-two years when the company says 1957?
Because forty-two is the one of the two that a filing supports. A tenure figure on this board has to be the earliest Florida registration in a chain of entities linked by filings — not by a name, and not by a directory's start date. No filing links the 1957 corporation to the one trading today, and each route that would have found one was run against a control that proved the route works. Both dates appear on this page. Only one of them is used.
Why does this page name Clearwater Window & Door at all?
Because a fee quoted against an unnamed rival is not a contract. Three gates had to clear first, and each on a positive reading rather than on an absence: a filing that names two people and no parent company, a status column reading ACTIVE on the register's own detail page, and every figure here re-read on the day this page is dated. Where a route failed, it is recorded as a failed route and not as a finding.
Do national window brands win the Clearwater impact window searches?
Not organically. Across the fifteen searches tracked here, the brands a homeowner could name returned barely at all, and the domains that did return are mostly independent installers with active Florida corporations. The national layer appears in advertising instead: one lead site for a national brand advertised on the broad window-replacement search on a Bing-syndicated result page while that brand returned on none of the fifteen organic lists.
