Clearwater Window Pros provides professional wood and clad-wood windows in Clearwater, FL for residential and commercial properties across Pinellas and west Pasco. Clad wood is the nicest thing you can put in an opening and the easiest thing to put in the wrong one. The question here is not whether you like wood. It is whether the inside face of that window will ever be yours to maintain.
In a detached house it is you, and clad wood makes sense. The older stock around Harbor Oaks, the bungalows near Bluff View, the larger houses in Belleair and the Craftsman-era streets in Dunedin were designed around wood interiors with real stools, aprons and jamb returns. Dropping a white welded frame into one of those openings reads wrong from the sidewalk and reads worse from the dining room.
The construction we specify is an engineered or preservative-treated wood core with extruded aluminum cladding, not roll-formed. Extruded cladding holds a corner, takes an AAMA 2605 fluoropolymer finish that will still be a color in fifteen years, and does not dent along the sightline when a ladder touches it. Roll-formed cladding is cheaper and looks it within a decade on a sun-facing wall.
Now the part most estimators skip. In an association building the exterior of your window is a common element or a limited common element, and the interior wood face is yours, but the assembly is one thing. Boards do not like that division, and specifications frequently exclude wood outright for exactly that reason. If your declaration or adopted specification is silent, it is silent because nobody has been asked yet, and being the test case is expensive.
We therefore do not recommend clad wood for units inside a mid-rise here, and we will tell you before you pick a species. The exceptions are low-rise garden communities where the declaration assigns the whole opening to the owner and the exterior color is unregulated. Those exist across mid-county, and we read the article rather than guessing from what a neighbor got away with.
Where the house is genuinely old, replacement is not automatically the answer either. A sound heart-pine or cypress sash with failed putty and a stuck balance is worth restoring: strip carefully, consolidate soft spots with epoxy, reglaze with linseed oil putty, rebuild the pockets and add an interior storm panel for the performance you actually wanted. That path costs less than new units and keeps the wavy glass.
When replacement is right, we detail it properly. Simulated divided lite bars in the width the house calls for, a shadow spacer between the panes so the muntin reads as a muntin, sloped sill pans under everything, and plaster or drywall returns rebuilt rather than covered with a stock extension jamb.
Send us photographs of one window inside and out before you shop. Half the time the answer is restoration and a storm panel, and a two-minute phone call is a better place to learn that than a paid site visit.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a board-adopted hurricane protection specification, opening schedules keyed to the elevation and unit stack, reserve-study line items for windows and exterior doors, shear-block anchorage into precast concrete spandrels, concrete spall repair found behind a removed frame, one production run of anodized color across an elevation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Clearwater and nearby communities including St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, Pinellas Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood and clad-wood windows
The difference between wood and clad-wood windows that lasts and wood and clad-wood windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a board-adopted hurricane protection specification, opening schedules keyed to the elevation and unit stack, reserve-study line items for windows and exterior doors, shear-block anchorage into precast concrete spandrels, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Clearwater job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Pinellas and west Pasco means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Clearwater Chooses Clearwater Window Pros
- ✓We ask for the declaration article and the board's adopted hurricane protection specification before measuring, because those two documents decide who may buy the window, what it must look like, and which year it happens.
- ✓Openings get scheduled by riser and elevation rather than by unit number, so a phased association project can run one stack at a time without the third-floor units ending up a different color from the fifth.
- ✓Every quote carries a Florida Product Approval number and a design pressure tied to that specific elevation, not a catalogue maximum, so the reviewer at the counter has nothing left to ask us for.
- ✓We price the sealed-unit swap next to the full replacement on the same sheet. On a building with a funded window line still years out, the cheap option is frequently the correct one and we say which.
