Scott Berman is the Founder and President of Florida Window & Door, one of the largest independent window and door operators in the nation. With over 40 years of experience in the home improvement industry, Scott has built his company into a powerhouse that bills over $100 million annually. The company specializes in impact-resistant windows and doors, protecting Florida homes from hurricane conditions while improving energy efficiency.

Scott’s journey in the industry began in the early 1990s in Ohio, working for his father’s business. After moving to Florida and experiencing both setbacks and successes—including learning critical lessons from an earlier company’s bankruptcy—Scott launched Florida Window & Door in 2009. His educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Miami (1988-1992). Today, the company and its affiliated companies have been in the replacement window and door business since 1983.

Scott Berman possesses exceptional strengths in operational systems, strategic planning, and entrepreneurial resilience that have made Florida Window & Door an industry leader. His 40+ years of industry experience provide invaluable insight into every aspect of the window and door business—from sales and installation to customer service and scaling operations.

Scott’s greatest strength lies in his understanding that “growth without operational systems just makes things worse.” He has developed a philosophy of breaking and rebuilding systems regularly to keep improving, implementing fast and refining as he goes. This approach ensures that sales never outpace operations—a critical balance that has enabled sustainable growth.

His leadership style emphasizes getting visionary leaders “out of the way” and surrounding himself with process-oriented team members who execute with excellence. Scott has built a reputation for mentoring other entrepreneurs, sharing his insights through speaking engagements and coaching. David Yoho, a renowned industry figure, has recognized Scott as a “Legend in the Home Improvement Industry”—a testament to his impact on the broader home improvement community.

In 2019, the company installed over 19,000 windows and 5,000 doors, and by 2020 had served over 32,000 customers. The company has successfully navigated challenging market conditions, including choosing not to sell during the private equity boom in favor of continued independent operation.
