Welcome to Central Florida's largest showroom of its kind. We encourage our clients to come and see all of the Superior options that are available to them when they chose to make Superior Aluminum

"Superior Aluminum did an outstanding job. Very highly recommended. I required a screened-in back patio enclosure and a screen door for the front on the house. Process went very smoothly. Installers Hans and Neo did an outstanding job. Materials were top-notch"

We have been designing kitchens, baths, closets and other home remodeling projects since 1977 in Central Florida! We have seven showrooms to serve you - Longwood, Winter Park, Windermere, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, Melbourne and Tampa. Our award winning team can help you get the home of your dreams on budget and on time...without the stress!

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lacie and Mike from S&W Kitchens in South Tampa on a bathroom project, and we cannot express enough how impressed we were with their combined talents and professionalism. Lacie's design skills are truly exceptional. She transformed our initial bathroom concept into visually appealing results that exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was Lacie's extraordinary patience with us during the initial design process. As we deliberated over various options and changed our minds numerous times, she remained consistently supportive and understanding, never rushing us as we worked to finalize our vision. Her creativity, paired with her ability to understand exactly what we were looking for, made the design process very smooth. As for Mike, his project management skills were outstanding, especially when faced with significant challenges. Despite our bathroom renovation being delayed by two hurricanes, Mike kept everything as organized as possible, and his calm demeanor kept the project moving forward. Lacie and Mike’s collaborative approach at S&W Kitchens created a perfect balance, even when Mother Nature had other plans. They demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to quality despite the weather-related setbacks. We would not hesitate to work with S&W Kitchens, especially Lacie and Mike, again, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier bathroom renovation."

"I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Isack Berg who I hired through Angi for a home improvement project at my residence. The project, which began on November 13, 2024 has been plagued by numerous issues, including poor workmanship, failure to adhere to the contract, and multiple no-call, no-show instances. Despite paying $22,000 upfront and for materials, the contractor has failed to complete the work as agreed. Details of the Complaint: 1. Substandard Workmanship – Two licensed and bonded contractors have inspected the work and provided written statements detailing severe deficiencies. Additionally, I have over 200 pictures and multiple videos documenting the issues. 2. Breach of Contract – The contractor has repeatedly failed to meet agreed-upon deadlines, leaving my home in an incomplete and hazardous state, exposing it to interior damage and major inconveniences. Specific issues include: o Roof – Not completed per contract, leaving my home vulnerable to damage. o Windows Trim – The sill on the front window is rotten; I had to pay $450 out of pocket for repairs. o Mastercool Unit – The back house unit’s wires were cut to the control switch. o Lighting Issues – No lights installed in the spare bathroom or the great room. o Structural Issue – No permit was pulled for the 20-foot beam in the great room, which now requires review by a contractor and the city to ensure compliance. 3. Failure to Communicate and No-Show Instances – On multiple occasions, the contractor failed to appear as scheduled without providing notice or explanation. 4. Additional Expenses – Due to the contractor’s negligence, I have incurred additional costs, including hiring another contractor for emergency repairs and dedicating over 40 hours to cleaning and correcting some of the mistakes. Given the severity of these issues, I request that Angi take appropriate action, including investigating this contractor, removing them from the platform if warranted, and assisting me in resolving this matter. I have also contacted the contractor’s bond company and am considering legal action. I am attaching all relevant documentation, including: • Written statements from two licensed contractors • Photographic and video evidence of the subpar work • Records of payments and additional expenses incurred • A copy of the contract and related communications I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. The project began on November 12, 2024, and was initially scheduled to be completed by December 24, 2024. However, the completion date was repeatedly pushed back—to December 28, then December 31, then January 10. After January 2, I had reached my limit with the poor workmanship and lack of concern for my home’s condition. The contractor’s worker was asked to leave, and I contacted Joe. He informed me he was in California and requested time to correct the situation. He assured me he would return and restart the work, but after repeated delays and unresponsive communication, he finally scheduled a walkthrough on January 20. Despite this, he failed to respond all week and only emailed on January 26, stating he would restart the work on January 27. On January 27, the contractor showed up for only six hours before leaving, stating he would return the next day. He never came back. Three days later, on the evening of January 30, he said he would return on Friday and Saturday. At that point, I told him not to bother. He has failed to address the issues related to poor workmanship and my requests to have basic utilities functioning, such as the second bathroom lights, the great room lighting, and my laundry room setup so I can use my washer and dryer. I have not been able to do laundry in my home for over three months. Even on January 27, when he did show up, he merely skim-coated parts of the walls and ceiling. This resulted in cracks because he repeatedly applied mud over bubbled seams instead of properly fixing the issue."

Stair railing installation services FAQs

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:

  • Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew

  • Provide realistic cost estimates

  • Develop construction timelines

  • Ensure deadlines are met

  • Acquire permits as needed

  • Purchase supplies and materials

Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:

  • Which types of insurance do you carry?

  • Can you provide a list of references?

  • What is the expected timeline for this project?

  • How will my project be supervised?

  • Will you hire subcontractors for the job?

  • What is the best way to communicate changes?

  • Will you obtain all of the required building permits?

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
