Most window and door contractors in Florida work on flat ground. Clermont is different. Our crews know the hills, the ridgelines, and what a west-facing slider on a sloped lot does after ten summers of direct afternoon sun. If you’re looking for window or door work in Clermont, call us at (754) 238-2201 and a live person will answer, day or night. We’ll ask about your house, your neighborhood, and what’s failing. Then we’ll give you a straight answer and a free estimate.

Why Clermont Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler. The company’s heritage runs deeper than that, years of craft and community commitment that started long before the name went on the truck. The standard is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs every install we do, from a single fogged sash in a 2006 Independence home to a full rear-elevation rebuild in Greater Groves with lake views.
We serve homeowners from Legends to the lakefront cottages near downtown and the south shore of Lake Minneola. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, in writing, every time. It’s why a homeowner who has lived in the same Clermont house for twenty years will call us first when the second window goes foggy, and why we plan to be answering the phone in this town thirty years from now.
Clermont’s Hill Country Problem (and Why It Matters for Your Windows)
Here’s something most window companies won’t tell you about Clermont. The city sits on the Lake Wales Ridge, Florida’s most pronounced inland hill country. That means hundreds of homes here occupy sloped lots with solar orientations flat Florida cities simply don’t have. A house in Independence or Legends might have a front elevation that never sees harsh afternoon sun, while the rear of the same house, angled to capture a pond or lake view, faces due west and gets hammered from noon until sunset.
We see the result all the time. Those builder-grade double-pane aluminum windows installed across Clermont between 2000 and 2015 are reaching their 10-to-20-year failure point. On west- and south-facing elevations, argon seals fail and glazing UV damage shows up a full 3 to 5 years ahead of the front windows on the same house. Sliding glass doors overlooking retention ponds or the lakes themselves are usually the first to fog. If you’ve noticed condensation between panes or a slider that binds in July but works fine in January, that’s the Clermont pattern. We know it by heart.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Clermont
Window Installation
New-construction or full replacement, we set every frame square, level, and plumb. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, among more than a dozen lines, and we’ll quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Clermont.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and patio sliders come from the manufacturer, but they’re set by us, and that setting is what determines whether the door binds in July or swings true for twenty years. We measure twice, shim precisely, and register the warranty in writing before we leave.

Window Replacement
Clermont’s concrete-block homes often have original aluminum frames with failing seals and poor energy performance. We handle full-frame replacement and retrofit work, including the older jalousie and single-pane windows still found in some 1950s-to-1970s lakefront cottages near downtown and along Lake Minneola.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated glazing from PGT, CWS, and CGI meets Florida Building Code wind-load requirements even though Clermont sits 60+ miles from open coast. It also gives you real hurricane protection without shutters, and it quiets the neighborhood by a noticeable margin.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Clermont’s inland heat means cooling is the big expense, not heating. Low-E glass and proper argon fills, correctly installed, cut afternoon solar gain on those west-facing rear elevations we talked about. You’ll feel it in the room temperature before you see the bill.
Learn more about our Energy-Efficient Windows in Clermont.
Sliding & Patio Doors
On lakefront and pond-view homes, the rear slider is often the single most used door in the house. We replace failing tracks, warped panels, and fogged dual-pane sliders with properly leveled, smooth-running doors built for Clermont’s humidity and afternoon sun.

Glass Railing Systems
For elevated lots in Greater Groves and similar communities, glass railings preserve the view while meeting code. We install frameless and semi-frameless systems engineered for Florida’s wind loads.

Custom Windows & Doors
Sometimes the opening isn’t a standard size, or the homeowner wants something specific: a transom, a radius top, a wider slider. We handle custom fabrication and installation across Clermont, and we don’t treat it like a special order that justifies a special headache.

Why Clermont’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Clermont’s elevated terrain and its ring of surrounding lakes create persistent high humidity. That humidity doesn’t corrode frames as fast as coastal salt spray, but it does something sneaky: it fogs argon-filled insulated glass units faster than homeowners expect. A window that should last 20 years in a drier climate might start showing condensation between panes at 12 or 14 years here, especially on the uphill side of a house where drainage and air flow differ from the downhill side.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. Clermont’s concrete-block, stucco-clad homes from the 2000s largely went up with builder-grade aluminum-frame double-pane windows. Those windows were inexpensive to install and they’re inexpensive to replace. But they’re not worth repairing once the seal goes. And in the older lakefront cottages, original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows are driving cooling bills through the roof and letting in more than air. Upgrading those, even a few at a time, changes the feel of the house immediately. Every new window or exterior door we install here still has to meet Florida Building Code wind-load and product-approval requirements. We pull permits where required and we don’t cut corners on code.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Clermont
Most Clermont window replacements run $700 to $2,400 per opening installed, depending on whether it’s a retrofit or full-frame job, the manufacturer line, and the size of the window. Sliders cost more, impact glass costs more, and second-story work adds a little. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll give you a line-item quote, free.
Because Clermont sits on the Lake Wales Ridge, many homes have rear elevations intentionally oriented toward lake or pond views, and those faces get intense afternoon sun from the west. That direct UV and heat exposure breaks down seals and glazing 3 to 5 years sooner than shaded or north-facing windows on the same house. We see this pattern constantly in Independence, Greater Groves, and Legends.
Yes, in the sense that all new windows and exterior doors in Clermont must meet Florida Building Code wind-load and product-approval requirements. You’re not required to install impact glass specifically, but impact windows from manufacturers like PGT and CGI give you hurricane protection, better security, and real noise reduction. Call us at (754) 238-2201 for a side-by-side quote on impact vs. standard.
No. We give a written, line-item quote before we start, and if we open a wall and find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you before any change is made. No surprise line items on the bill. That’s a square deal, and it’s been the standard since day one.
Yes, wherever the scope requires it. We know Clermont’s permitting process and we handle the paperwork. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the job is done, so there’s no later argument about coverage. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what your specific job needs.

What Clermont Customers Say
"Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S."A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G.
