Florida Glass & Aluminum

What Florida Glass & Aluminum does

Florida Glass & Aluminum, Inc. is a privately held, Fort Myers-based glass and glazing contractor founded in 1988 that designs, supplies, and installs commercial and residential glass systems for the Southwest Florida market. The commercial portfolio centers on curtain wall systems, storefront and entryways, hurricane-rated impact-resistant windows, interior glass, and specialty aluminum fabrications (louvers, sunshades, canopies) for healthcare, hospitality, multi-family, municipal, education, and retail-industrial clients. The residential division delivers impact windows and doors, custom shower enclosures, mirrors, decorative and wine-wall glass, and replacement/board-up services to homeowners in Lee and Collier Counties.

The company operates an exclusively in-house W-2 installation model — no subcontractors — with crews averaging 10–12 years of experience and a three-tier leadership structure (Project Manager, Superintendent, Team Leader) on every commercial engagement. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based commercial contracts and one-time residential installations, supplemented by an extended warranty and priority service program that introduces a recurring service tail. Pricing is quote-based across both segments; commercial work uses detailed proposals with square-footage breakdowns while residential sales run through in-home consultations and written estimates.

Customer acquisition is direct, driven by website contact forms, phone outreach (239-267-5888), and a content-marketing effort aimed at general contractors and estimators. Supplier relationships with YKK AP, Trulite, PGT, and Windoor anchor product access. In 2025 founder Gary Escklisen retired and transferred ownership to Mark Evans; the company continues to operate from its single Fort Myers headquarters serving Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Marco Island, Naples, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda.

Broad incumbents

• PGT Innovations (now MITER Brands): Large Florida-based manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors that supplies Florida Glass and competes downstream through dealer networks across Florida.
• Glass America: National auto and flat glass replacement company with Florida locations; overlaps with Florida Glass's residential glass replacement and emergency board-up service line.
• YKK AP America: National manufacturer of storefront and curtain wall systems and a key supplier to Florida Glass — broader incumbent whose products the company installs in commercial projects.

Regional players

• CGI Windows & Doors: Florida-based impact window and door manufacturer with a strong hurricane-rated product line overlapping Florida Glass's residential impact window offering.
• All-American Door & Glass: Regional Florida glass and glazing contractor providing storefront, impact windows, and commercial installation services comparable to Florida Glass's commercial offerings.
• Storm Smart Enterprises: Southwest Florida-based impact window and door manufacturer/installer serving the same hurricane-rated residential and light-commercial market as Florida Glass's residential division.

Emerging players

• Glasshape Limited (or equivalent regional glazing contractor e.g., Ace Glass): Smaller Florida glazing and shower enclosure contractors compete for the same residential custom shower, mirror, and decorative glass work that Florida Glass performs in Lee and Collier Counties.

Others

• WinDoor Incorporated: Florida manufacturer of impact-rated doors and windows that supplies Florida Glass's residential division — adjacent peer with overlapping product positioning.
