WDDC operates a Jupiter Design Showroom, a West Palm Beach Distribution and Service Center, and serves projects from Miami to Vero Beach.

The company makes money through product resale and installation services on a quote-by-quote basis, with pricing determined by product selection, customization (colors, glass, hardware, shapes), and installation scope. Revenue streams include impact window and door product sales, professional installation for new construction and remodeling, replacement/retrofit services for residential and commercial properties, and export services shipping to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting luxury custom home builders and architects with showroom-led consultative sales in Jupiter and a dedicated export division. Primary customer segments are luxury custom home builders, architects, and high-net-worth homeowners, with secondary demand from oceanfront condos/high-rises, historic landmark renovations, and international importers. The business is led by a VP of Custom Sales, a VP of Sales - Steel Division, and a Director of Operations, with no disclosed external funding or parent company.

Direct peers

• Paradise Exteriors: Florida-based impact window and door replacement company specializing in hurricane protection for residential and commercial properties. Closely comparable to WDDC in product mix (impact windows/doors), geography (Florida), and value proposition (installation-centric).
• CINCO Custom Impact Windows & Doors: Florida impact window and door dealer/installer focused on residential replacement projects. Comparable to WDDC in distribution-plus-installation model and Florida HVHZ-certified product focus.
• Storm Tight Windows: Florida-based impact window and door installer serving homeowners and builders with hurricane-rated products. Directly comparable business model to WDDC: regional installation/distribution of HVHZ-certified impact products with a focus on Florida coastal markets.
• Signature Impact Windows & Doors: Florida-based impact window and door installation company serving residential customers. Comparable to WDDC in product scope (impact windows/doors), regulatory positioning (HVHZ), and installation-led service model in overlapping Florida geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Renewal by Andersen: National replacement window and door franchise with significant Florida presence. Comparable to WDDC's replacement/remodeling segment but operates at much larger scale with proprietary Andersen product lines; competes for similar residential replacement customers.
• Home Depot Installation Services: National big-box retailer with in-store window and door installation services. Overlaps with WDDC's installation and replacement offerings for mid-market customers across Florida, but competes on convenience and financing rather than luxury specification.
• PGT Innovations: Leading US manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors (PGT, CGI, WinDoor) and one of WDDC's most important brand partners. Comparable as the dominant upstream supplier in the same product category, but also competes indirectly by selling through alternative dealers and its own South Florida showrooms.
• Window World: National window replacement franchise with locations across Florida. Comparable to WDDC's residential window replacement offering; competes on price and volume rather than luxury/architectural specification.

Others

• ES Windows: Manufacturer of aluminum-framed impact windows and doors and one of WDDC's key brand partners. Comparable as a Florida-focused impact product supplier and channel participant, but operates upstream of WDDC's dealer/installer model.
• Euro-Wall: Florida-based manufacturer of large-format impact fenestration products (folding, lift-and-slide, pivot doors) and a WDDC brand partner. Comparable on impact product category but functions as a supplier to WDDC rather than a competing installer.
