AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Union Park
Impact window and door replacement in Union Park is not a one-size-fits-all job, and if you own one of the concrete block ranch homes built between 1972 and 1992, you already suspect that. A typical full impact retrofit on a Union Park CBS home runs $14,000 to $32,000 depending on opening count. What drives that number in Union Park specifically is the era of the house and what the Orange County inspector finds once a permit is opened. We’ve worked these streets long enough to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what your house will actually need.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Union Park homeowners don’t call around for the cheapest bidder. They call for someone who knows what a 1978 CBS ranch on a quarter-acre lot near Dean Road needs when the original single-pane aluminum sliders are finally coming out. Our Impact Windows & Doors team has handled enough of these homes to know the pattern: the frames are corroded, the flashing is failed, and the permit is going to drag more scope into the room than the salesman quoted over the phone.
We pull permits on every Union Park job, and our technicians have been through the Orange County inspection process enough times to know what gets flagged. That matters when a jalousie window in a Florida room can turn a two-opening quote into a six-opening retrofit. Dale Kessler has kept the same rule on the whiteboard since 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We don’t hide scope from you, and we don’t let an inspector surprise you either.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians do the measuring and the install. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. And a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. You call, a human answers.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Union Park
Hurricane Impact Windows
The dominant stock in Union Park is CBS single-story ranch homes from roughly 1972 to 1992, and most still have the original single-pane aluminum frame windows. Those frames corrode in the year-round humidity and no longer meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements updated after the 2004 hurricane season. We replace them with impact-rated windows from manufacturers including PGT, CGI, and Simonton, sized to the existing openings where the framing is sound and reframed where it isn’t.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Hollow-core sliding glass doors from the 1970s are common across Union Park, and they fail in two ways: the rollers bind and the frames lose structural integrity. Once a permit is opened, Orange County will not let those doors stay. We replace them with impact-rated sliders built for Florida wind loads, and we check the sub-sill and surrounding framing before anything gets ordered. A rotten sub-sill changes the job, and we’ll tell you before it changes the price.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Wood door jambs and sub-sills on original Union Park entry doors rot from high humidity even when the rest of the house looks dry. A simple impact door swap frequently turns into reframing the entire opening. We handle both: the impact-rated door and the structural work behind it. The finished opening gets a door that meets current wind-load code and a frame that will hold it.
Impact Garage Doors
Most Union Park garages from the 1970s and 1980s have doors that are not wind-rated for the storms we get inland in Orange County. Afternoon convective storms from June through September drive wind-driven rain directly into older seals. We install impact-rated garage doors and track systems built for Florida wind pressure, and we bring the entire door assembly into code compliance.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Union Park Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames on 1970s single-pane sliders. Wind-driven rain from summer convective storms penetrates the CBS block behind the stucco. By the time you see the water stain inside, the flashing tape has already failed. We find this on the majority of original windows we open in Union Park.
- Jalousie windows in Florida rooms and carport enclosures. Orange County inspectors flag these immediately on any permitted window or door project because they cannot be brought into wind-load compliance. A one-window quote becomes a full Florida-room re-window the moment the permit is opened.
- Rotted wood door jambs and sub-sills on original entry doors. Union Park’s year-round humidity doesn’t dry out wood door surrounds. It feeds them. What looks like a simple impact door swap often requires reframing the entire opening before impact-rated glazing can be installed.
- Failed flashing and waterproofing behind the stucco. On 1970s and 1980s CBS construction, flashing tape was often stapled or skipped entirely. We open walls to find paper that disintegrated years ago. Impact glazing won’t help a wall that’s already letting water through the frame.
The Permit Trigger Every Union Park Homeowner Needs to Know About
Here’s the information-gain piece that only applies to Union Park and a handful of older Orange County neighborhoods. Those 1970s jalousie windows in your Florida room or carport enclosure cannot be brought into wind-load compliance under the current Florida Building Code. When you pull a permit for any impact window work, the inspector will look at the whole structure. If jalousies are present, they get flagged. That means a quote for two impact sliders becomes a full Florida-room re-window: six or eight openings, reframed, with impact-rated glazing that meets current U-factor and SHGC requirements.
This doesn’t happen in Waterford Lakes or Avalon Park. Those communities were built after the 2004 code reforms, so their original windows already meet wind-load standards. Union Park’s housing stock predates those reforms by decades. Almost every original window and door is out of compliance the moment a permit is opened. If a salesperson gives you a quote over the phone without asking about your Florida room, the number is wrong. We don’t quote that way.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Union Park
Because Orange County inspectors flag jalousie windows immediately on any permitted window project, and jalousies cannot be brought into wind-load compliance under the current Florida Building Code. Once the permit is open, every non-compliant opening in that room must be brought up to code. That’s why we include a re-window allowance in our Union Park quotes when a Florida room or carport enclosure is attached to the work. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you what applies to your specific room before the inspector does.
Expect corroded frame edges, failed flashing tape, and possible water staining inside the CBS block. We pulled a permit on a 1978 CBS ranch off Dean Road to replace two original single-pane aluminum sliders in a Florida room, and the Orange County inspector immediately flagged the adjacent jalousies as non-compliant. That two-window job became a full six-opening impact retrofit. When we opened the wall, the aluminum frames were corroded and the flashing tape behind the stucco had disintegrated. We reframed the openings and installed Simonton impact-rated casements with low-E glass and argon fill before the inspector would sign off.
It needs full replacement. Hollow-core doors from the 1970s lack the structural frame and impact glazing required by current wind-load code, and Orange County will not accept a retrofit. We replace them with impact-rated sliding doors built for Florida wind pressure, and we inspect the sub-sill and surrounding framing first. A rotten sub-sill means more work, and we’ll price it before it starts.
Union Park sits inland in Orange County without a coastal buffer, so afternoon convective storms from June through September hit older aluminum seals with hard, direct rainfall at full wind velocity. Coastal areas get steady salt exposure, but inland Union Park gets concentrated wind-driven rain that forces water through corroded frame joints and into CBS walls. The damage shows up inside the wall before it shows up on the wall.
Because carport enclosures and Florida rooms from the 1970s and 1980s frequently used jalousie or non-impact aluminum windows that cannot be brought into compliance. Once a permit is pulled for the main house, the inspector can flag those openings on the same structure. Any honest Union Park quote will include that allowance upfront rather than hitting you with it after the inspection. Get a free written estimate by calling (754) 238-2201.
