First Coast Permits Get started

Windows, doors, blinds & shutters change

How windows, doors, blinds & shutters businesses get jobs from permits

New windows rarely fit the old blinds, so a window permit is a blinds and shutter lead. New-home and remodel permits show who will need window coverings and storm protection soon.

Sample The permits below are made up to show the idea. Subscribers get the real ones every morning, with the owner and contractor.

  1. 1 Window replacements that need blinds after

    Why it's a lead
    New windows often don't fit the old blinds. Blinds and shutter companies get a ready buyer.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner about the time the install wraps up. Offer measure and install for the new openings.
    What to say
    "New windows usually mean new blinds. We'll measure your new openings and give you a price that day."

  2. 2 New homes with bare windows

    Why it's a lead
    Builders hand over a house with no window coverings and no hurricane protection. The owner needs both quickly.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner a few weeks before closing. Offer blinds, shutters or impact film as a package.
    What to say
    "Moving into Shellbank Hollow soon? We can have blinds and storm panels up the week you get the keys."

  3. 3 Additions and remodels that add openings

    Why it's a lead
    New sliders and windows on an addition are often left to a sub. The remodeler on the permit is who to call.
    What to do and when
    Call the contractor on the permit before framing is done and offer to supply and install the openings.
    What to say
    "If you need someone to supply and set the slider on the Saltkettle Rd porch, I can quote it this week."

The math

A year of the email costs $1,188. If it lands you one window package, it has paid for itself. Everything after that is profit.

And if your first 30 days don't pay off, you get your $99 back. You can't lose money trying it.

Next: pick your towns

You'll get window jobs, new homes and remodels: the permits that lead to your work. You can change this any time.
