"Best" in Florida commercial storefront work means six specific things: a current Florida CGC license; valid NOA (Notice of Acceptance) documentation for every system installed; HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) experience in Miami-Dade and Broward; authorized installer relationships with the manufacturers a project specifies; bonding capacity that matches the project size; and a verifiable safety record. American Commercial Glass meets all six.
