A deep permit history paired with the lowest customer ratings in this category. Here is what the record shows on Guardian Impact Windows & Roofing, and what to ask before you sign.
Strong permit and licensing history, but a 4.2 rating on Angi and no verifiable high-volume review base.
A licensed, BBB-accredited Broward contractor whose permit history is stronger than its customer ratings.
Deerfield Beach and Pembroke Pines, serving Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.The short answer
Is Guardian Impact Windows & Roofing legitimate and worth considering?
Guardian is a legitimate, licensed and BBB-accredited Deerfield Beach contractor with a substantial permit history: 829 permits worth roughly $21.6 million. But its customer ratings are the lowest of any impact window company we profile, at 4.2 out of 5 on Angi and HomeAdvisor, against 4.8 and 4.9 elsewhere in this category, and we could not verify a high-volume Google rating. Worth a quote, worth comparing carefully.
The record, by source
Company at a glance
SunVetted analysis
Guardian's customer ratings are the weakest of any impact window company we profile, and that is the first thing a homeowner should weigh. Angi and HomeAdvisor both list it at 4.2 out of 5. Facebook shows 96% recommending, but across only 49 recommendations. We could not verify a Google rating at any meaningful volume. For comparison, the other impact window companies on this site sit at 4.8 and 4.9 across hundreds or thousands of reviews. A 4.2 is not a bad score, but the gap is real and it is not explained away by volume alone.
Its permit record is stronger than its reviews. BuildZoom lists 829 permits worth roughly $21.6 million and a score of 120. That indicates a company doing real, inspected work at volume rather than a shell operation. Note that BuildZoom scores are calculated from permit and licensing data, not from customer satisfaction, so a high score tells you a company is active and licensed, not that its customers were happy.
Other things to weigh. Guardian has been BBB accredited only since February 2024, so its BBB track record is short. Its verified state licensing includes Certified Roofing and Certified Solar Contractor; if you are buying windows specifically, ask which license covers that work and who is pulling your permit. And you may see 4.8 or higher quoted on aggregator pages, but we could not trace those figures to a primary review platform, so we do not publish them.
Guardian is a younger company, which partly explains the smaller review base. Before signing, read the most recent reviews yourself, ask for addresses of comparable completed jobs nearby, and get the scope and warranty in writing.
Decision aid
Local context
Guardian works from Deerfield Beach with a second location in Pembroke Pines, and serves Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Almost all of that territory sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where impact products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance rather than Florida Product Approval alone, so ask for the NOA number on the specific window or door line quoted for your address. Guardian handles both impact windows and roofing (asphalt shingle, tile, metal and standing seam), which makes it a candidate when a single storm-hardening project covers the roof and the openings at the same time. Confirm both the roofing and window licenses are active at the Florida DBPR lookup before signing.
Questions homeowners ask
Yes. Guardian Impact Windows & Roofing LLC is a BBB-accredited Florida contractor based in Deerfield Beach, with multiple active state licenses and 829 permits pulled worth roughly $21.6 million. Legitimacy is not the question here; the question is customer satisfaction, where its 4.2 rating trails others in the category.
Angi and HomeAdvisor both list Guardian at 4.2 out of 5, and Facebook shows 96% recommending across 49 recommendations. That is the lowest verified rating among the impact window companies we profile. We could not verify a high-volume Google rating, and some aggregator sites quote higher figures we could not trace to a primary review platform, so we do not publish them.
Partly because it is a younger company with a smaller review base, where individual reviews move the average more. But a 4.2 against 4.8 and 4.9 elsewhere in the category is a real gap, not just a sample-size artifact, and it is worth reading the recent negative reviews specifically to see whether the issues raised would affect your project.
