Comfortable, protected homes, done right
“We help Florida homeowners get more from their windows with genuine 3M film, honest advice and careful installation by our own team.”
Our foundation: service, honesty, craftsmanship
Engineered Group was founded in Sanford in 2002 by Mike DeForest, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and Mark Ecker, a U.S. Navy veteran. They built the company on the habits the service taught them: show up, do the job properly and stand behind it.
We still work that way. We’ll tell you what a film can and can’t do, recommend only what your home needs, and install it ourselves.
