THE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Confirm who will measure or template the opening and approve the final shape and dimensions before fabrication. Ask the supplier to identify the proposed glazing and assembly, and the installer to describe access, removal, support and perimeter finishing. Record responsibility for checking the custom unit against the opening before installation is arranged.
What may be involved
- custom fixed window
- radius or geometric frame
- insulated glass
- setting blocks
- structural fasteners
- flashing
- perimeter sealant
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Casselberry
Local context
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public licence search covering the professions and businesses the department regulates, so a state licence number quoted for this work can be checked there. Ask separately which approved product is being quoted and whether the manufacturer's installation details will be on site for the inspection, since local building departments generally ask to see both.
Source ↗Planning your work
A Florida law effective 1 July 2026 requires local governments to exempt work on single-family residential property valued at $7,500 or less from the building permit requirement, but the exemption excludes any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical or gas work and does not apply in flood hazard areas. Much window and exterior door work falls into one of those excluded categories, so the exemption is narrower than it first reads. Casselberry is in Seminole County; confirm with the county or city building department which office reviews the address and what it now asks for.
