01 · Who pays
Window contractors
A window contractor either pays us a flat advertising fee to be featured here, or a fixed fee for each homeowner introduction we send. That is the entire business model.

About Orlando Window Pros
One metro, one trade, and no mystery about the money. Who publishes this site, how we get paid, what our numbers have to survive, and what we will not do for a fee.
What this is
A publisher first.
An introduction second.
Orlando Window Pros is an independent, Orlando focused media and referral property. Half the work is research: we read the building code, the Florida statutes, the state grant rules, and the published pricing guides, then print what they say with the source attached.
The other half is the introduction. When a homeowner asks for quotes, that request goes to a licensed, insured local window contractor who measures the openings, writes the estimate, pulls the permit, and installs the glass. We do none of it. We are not a contractor, we hold no contractor license, we never visit your property, and we never quote a price on anyone's behalf.

How we make money
Contractors pay us.
You never do.
Most sites like this bury the answer in a footer link. We gave it the loudest section on the page, because how a referral site gets paid tells you whose side it is on.
02 · How it is set
Fixed, in advance
Our fee is agreed before any introduction is made. It is never a percentage of your project and never bigger because your job is bigger. Nothing you sign with a contractor changes what we are paid.
03 · What you pay
Nothing at all
Homeowners never pay Orlando Window Pros anything, at any point, for anything. No membership, no matching fee, no charge to see a number. Ask any contractor you meet through us for an itemized estimate.
One category is excluded from every arrangement, permanently
Insurance claim work. We do not accept compensation of any kind tied to services paid for with property insurance proceeds, and we do not take, route, or refer insurance claim work of any kind. Florida law is explicit on the point (Fla. Stat. 489.147), and we would draw that line regardless. Explaining how wind mitigation credits work is a different activity entirely.
Editorial standards
The rules our own numbers
have to survive.
Every number carries a source and a date
Every price range, grant figure, and credit percentage traces to a published source we read on a stated date, and the date is absolute. You will see August 20, 2026 next to our figures, never a vague "recently".
When the source moves, we move
If a cited guide changes its range, we update ours or we delete the claim. That happened during this build. A whole home range we had planned to publish no longer matched its live source, so it was replaced with what the source says today.
Unverifiable means unpublished
Some facts did not survive checking. Median year built for our service area suburbs is one, so it appears nowhere here. A missing number beats a confident wrong one.
No fake reviews, ever
Not invented names, not stock portraits, not star ratings we assembled, not a testimonial written in house and attributed to a homeowner who does not exist. No review will appear on this site unless it is real and verifiable.
Why the review wall is empty
We have not earned a track record yet.
This property is new, and a new property has no reviews. Inventing some is where much of the local lead generation industry starts lying to homeowners, so the wall stays empty until real Orlando homeowners fill it, with enough detail that you could go check them.
What we hold instead is the set of commitments published on our home page. Every number attributed to a source you can read yourself. One licensed local contractor per request, rather than your phone number auctioned to a row of call centers. No insurance claim work at all. And your consent running the show, with a single STOP reply that ends it. Those are checkable today. A testimonial is not.
The plainest version.
We would rather show you an empty space than a fake one. If that costs us conversions against sites full of invented praise, it is a deliberate trade.
What we are not
Affiliations we do not have.
Not a government program
My Safe Florida Home is a state program administered by the Florida Department of Financial Services. We explain how it works. We do not run it, cannot process an application, and promise nothing on its behalf. Funding is subject to legislative appropriation, grant approval must come before construction begins, and you should confirm current status at mysafeflhome.com. Our My Safe Florida Home grant page has the rules.
Not a manufacturer partner
When we name a window brand, the mention is editorial. No manufacturer pays for placement here, none has reviewed or approved our writing, and no brand mention implies a partnership in either direction.
Not a retailer or national installer
We are not affiliated with any big box retailer, home improvement chain, or national installation brand. The contractors we introduce are local companies carrying their own Florida license and insurance.
Our terms of use and privacy policy cover the rest, including what happens to the information you type into a form and how to have it removed.

we get paid, use us.
