New-Construction Leads for Window & Door Suppliers
Doors, windows, and the builders who specify them.
Window and door specs get locked early in the build cycle. PermitFocus shows you which builders are issuing permits, where they're building, and how active they are, so your account manager is having the right conversation, with the right builder, at the right time.

How doors & windows operators use PermitFocus

- Use the builder directory to find builders new to a market.
- Track product-spec conversations and sample drops in the CRM, with follow-ups by builder.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find new-construction doors & windows jobs before my competitors?
Every new home starts with a building permit, a public record filed weeks before ground breaks. PermitFocus collects those permits, identifies the builder behind each one, and shows you the most active builders in your service area, refreshed weekly, so you can reach out before the job is spoken for.
Are the permit leads exclusive to me?
Building permits are public records, so they aren't exclusive. PermitFocus's edge is speed and completeness: you see issuance within days, get the builder's ranked activity and contact path, and reach them earlier than a competitor relying on a six-month-old purchased list.
Which areas does PermitFocus cover for doors & windows operators?
Every US county is covered at the market level, with per-permit builder detail in a growing set of markets. Florida markets like Hillsborough (Tampa), Broward, and Miami-Dade have deep builder-level data today, and more markets are added continuously.
How current is the permit data?
Permit data is refreshed regularly from authoritative public sources, so you typically see a new permit within days to about a week of issuance, not the three-plus months it takes for a build to become visible from the road.
How much does PermitFocus cost?
PermitFocus is $129.99/mo, cancel anytime. That replaces enterprise construction-data platforms that charge $15,000 to $30,000 per year.
