Choosing new windows is a significant investment in your home, but choosing the right company to install them is just as important.
First Choice Windows is a locally owned and family-operated company based in Ocala, Florida. With more than 60 years of combined industry experience, a local showroom and warehouse, knowledgeable hands-on ownership, and experienced installation teams, we provide the personal attention of a local business with the products, experience, and support homeowners deserve.
We proudly offer replacement windows and sliding glass doors from both Simonton and Andersen, giving homeowners more choices in materials, styles, performance features, warranties, and price points. We also specialize in custom lanai and sunroom enclosures.
From helping you compare products to coordinating measurements, ordering, permitting, installation, and future service, if any, our local team is here to guide you through the entire process. You will receive honest information, straightforward recommendations, and a free consultation without high-pressure sales tactics.
We do not simply want to install your windows and move on. We want to earn your confidence, complete your project properly, and remain the local company you can count on long after installation.
Our company has grown by doing quality work, earning our customers’ trust, and having satisfied homeowners recommend First Choice Windows to their friends, families, and neighbors. Our goal is for you to love your new windows, and your entire experience with our company, so much that you feel confident recommending us to the people you care about.
Your satisfaction is more than the final step of your project. It is the foundation of our reputation and the reason our business continues to grow.
Right here in Ocala
Locally owned, family operated, and here when you need us
First Choice Windows is a locally owned and family-operated Central Florida company, not an internet-only contractor or an out-of-town sales organization. Our showroom, office, warehouse, owners, installation teams, and service support are all located right here in Ocala.
Our owners are actively involved in the company’s daily operations and work closely with our office, sales, warehouse, installation, and service teams. Their extensive knowledge of windows, sliding glass doors, lanai enclosures, and the details involved in completing a successful project has created a genuine passion for the work we do.
Because we live and work in the communities we serve, our reputation is personal to us. We believe that your happiness is our reputation, which is why we are committed to quality workmanship, dependable service, and making sure our customers feel supported before, during, and after their projects.

Homeowners are welcome to visit our showroom, see and operate window samples, compare products, and speak with a knowledgeable member of our local team before making a decision.
If you have a question at any point, you have a local company you can contact for assistance. That accessibility, hands-on involvement, and personal accountability are important differences between working with First Choice Windows and working with a large, impersonal corporation.
When you choose First Choice Windows, you are supporting a local company that employs local people and serves homeowners throughout Central Florida.
Two brands, not one
More choices for your Florida home
Every homeowner, home, and budget is different. That is why First Choice Windows offers products from both Simonton and Andersen instead of trying to fit every customer into one type of window, material, or price point.
Florida homes face intense sunlight, heat, humidity, heavy rain, high winds, and seasonal storms. Choosing quality windows and an experienced installer is important because lower-quality products or improper installation can lead to air and water leaks, reduced energy efficiency, operating problems, and other issues over time.

Simonton Windows
Durable vinyl windows in a wide range of styles, with the performance features Florida homes need. Our primary product line, carrying the AAMA Gold Label and Energy Star qualification. See the Simonton lineup.

Andersen Windows
Andersen’s Fibrex® composite material, coastal impact options, and a different set of style and performance choices for homeowners who want them. See the Andersen lineup.
Whether you are interested in durable vinyl windows, Andersen’s Fibrex® composite material, easier operation, reduced maintenance, improved performance, or an updated appearance, we will help you select a product that fits your home, priorities, and budget.
Our job is to explain the differences clearly, answer your questions honestly, and help you make an informed decision, not pressure you toward one particular brand or the most expensive option.

The part that decides everything
Professional installation matters
Even an excellent window may not perform properly if it is measured or installed incorrectly. That is why installation is one of the most important parts of every First Choice Windows project.
First and foremost, our installation teams are true professionals who we believe are among the best in the business. Their extensive experience, combined with a positive and friendly attitude, helps ensure that you receive top-quality service from start to finish.
You can feel confident knowing that our installers will treat your home with respect and handle your project with care, precision, and close attention to detail. They take pride not only in the quality of their workmanship but also in leaving your home clean and making your installation experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Our typical installation process
- Carefully removing the existing windows
- Preparing the window openings
- Installing and securing the new products
- Properly sealing and finishing the installation
- Checking the operation of the new windows
- Removing installation-related debris
- Cleaning the work areas
- Reviewing the completed project with you
Our installers are expected to be professional, respectful, and considerate while working in your home. We want you to feel comfortable with both the finished project and the people completing it.
No pressure, no obligation
Honest, no-pressure consultations and straightforward pricing
Your consultation and estimate are free, with no pressure and no obligation.
During your consultation, our sales consultant will listen to your needs, measure your window openings, review the available product options, and answer your questions. We will explain the differences between the products and provide straightforward pricing for the options you are considering.
Home-improvement estimates can be confusing when homeowners are not clearly told what products and services are included. At First Choice Windows, we believe in honesty and transparency. We do not believe in withholding important information or making the process unnecessarily confusing.
We will clearly identify the window manufacturer and product series being quoted so you understand exactly what you are purchasing.
Regardless of which window company you choose, you should know the manufacturer, product series, features, warranties, upgrades, and installation services included in your estimate. Our team will be happy to explain these details and answer any questions you may have.
If different options are available, we will explain the differences and help you compare them. We want you to have the information necessary to make the best decision for your home, even if you need time to consider it.
You will not be pressured into signing a contract before you are comfortable with your decision. Our goal is to provide fair, competitive pricing without sacrificing product quality, proper installation, or dependable local service.
Coverage explained up front
Strong manufacturer warranties and local support
A warranty is important, but not every brand, product series, or component has the same coverage.
First Choice Windows offers products backed by established manufacturer warranties. Because warranty terms vary between Simonton and Andersen, and sometimes between individual product series, we will walk you through the applicable coverage so you can compare your options and make an informed decision.
We believe customers should understand their warranty coverage before purchasing, not discover exclusions after a problem occurs. That is why we are upfront about the important details, so there are no unexpected surprises later.
Whenever applicable, we will explain
- The length of the manufacturer’s coverage
- Whether accidental glass breakage is included or excluded
- Whether the warranty is transferable
- Whether registration or other steps may be required
- How to request assistance if a problem occurs
Our relationship with our customers does not end when the installation is complete. If you have a question or experience an issue afterward, you can contact our local office for assistance.
Our team will help determine whether the matter involves product operation, maintenance, installation, or manufacturer warranty coverage and explain the appropriate next step.
Homeowners should not have to struggle to locate an unknown installer, discover that a contractor is no longer in business, or navigate a large corporate warranty process entirely on their own.
With First Choice Windows, you have a local company available to order warranty replacement items for you or coordinate the appropriate service whenever possible, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Fair, competitive, local
Fair pricing and financing options
Replacing windows is a significant investment, but do not be discouraged if another company has given you an unexpectedly high price.
First Choice Windows believes in offering fair, competitive pricing that works for local homeowners. We focus on providing quality products, professional installation, and dependable service at a reasonable price, not inflating the cost of your project through unnecessary markups or high-pressure sales tactics.
Our goal is to help more homeowners complete their projects while receiving the quality and service they deserve.
For those who prefer the flexibility of monthly payments, financing options and promotional plans are available with approved credit.
Ask our team about financing options during your free consultation. Financing is subject to credit approval and applicable program terms.
Proof, not promises
See the difference for yourself
Online claims are easy to make. Completed projects and genuine customer experiences provide a much better picture of what you can expect.
We invite you to:
- Read our customer reviews
- View photographs of completed projects
- Visit our Ocala showroom
- Compare Simonton and Andersen products
- Ask questions about installation and warranties
- Request a free, no-pressure estimate
We are proud of the reputation we have earned from Central Florida homeowners and would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
