Customer service goes beyond answering customers’ calls and/or complaints. In fact, excellent customer service begins with solid business ethics and with people executing actions that benefit the community they serve. Unfortunately, not all home improvement companies out there hold their community’s best interests.
Homeowners in South Florida, we implore you to carry out proper research before purchasing impact windows (and any other home improvement product) for your home. You MUST take your time to research who will take care of your hurricane preparation. Why? Because product/service quality is directly correlated to that business integrity servicing the community.
Last Sunday afternoon, Mark Hildreth, former pro wrestler and current Vice President of Operations & Sales Manager at Paradise Exteriors, struck a 5-year-old boy strolling on his bicycle. Hildreth was reportedly speeding and drunk driving when this happened. The former pro-wrestler, also known as the Van Hammer, is currently charged with fleeing the scene of an injury crash and DUI charges. The 5-year-old victim was taken to Delray Medical Center presenting internal injuries and road rash. Luckily, the hospital claimed the boy was in stable condition.
Although no business is exempt from difficulties and challenges, businesses must keep outstanding levels of integrity and ethics in order to deserve the community’s trust. Unfortunately, in the case of Paradise Exteriors and their VP of Sales and Operations, these actions have caused the opposite effect.

When companies threaten and disrespect their communities, they cause nothing but uncertainty and mistrust. People will always prefer products and companies they trust and care for their customers. Therefore, next time you decide to upgrade your home windows, make sure you choose a trustworthy impact window provider by following these recommendations:
- Do your proper research online and offline about impact window companies. Beware of negative reviews. Look for companies that not only receive favorable reviews (online and offline) but also companies that undertake corrective action when it is needed.
- You can trust companies provide impact window samples for you to see, explain the details of the warranty, and provide you with a written estimate.
- Another sign of business credibility would be third-party endorsements such as television networks and radio. Keep in mind these organizations use rigorous criteria to evaluate manufacturers and products and reputations. We strongly recommend impact windows manufacturers as they are 100% responsible for the manufacturing, distribution, and sales process.
- Look for Impact Window Manufacturers over Impact Window Distributors. Typically, distributors require third parties to manufacture and install which raises the end price of the product.
- Look for the Miami Dade County Cat 5 approval, this is the highest rating an Impact Window can receive for hurricane protection.
- BEWARE of Impact Window Distributors who claim their windows are Miami Dade Category 5 approved. You may be surprised, but there are companies that use this approval as mere advertising. For more information about the Miami Dade County Certification process for Impact Windows, click here.
