Winter Park is not a generic Orlando suburb. The housing stock, the permitting process, and the failure modes are all different here. Dale Kessler built TruePane Windows & Doors around one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We apply that rule to every window and door we install in Winter Park.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Winter Park’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise playbook. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, and our crews carry years of combined trade heritage into every Winter Park home we touch. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer every phone call with a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree. No callback form. You call, we answer.
Winter Park homeowners call us for the same reason they call the same plumber and the same electrician for twenty years: we stand behind the work. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. Durations stated. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every install we do in Winter Park.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you are buying. And they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s house. Dispatch and scheduling for our Winter Park crews are coordinated from our South Florida office, but the people doing the work live and work here in the Orlando metro.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Winter Park
We install, replace, and service impact windows and doors across Winter Park. Here is how each line of work plays out in your city. Our full Impact Windows & Doors team handles every project from first measure to final inspection.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact windows in Winter Park must meet Florida’s statewide wind-load and impact-glazing code requirements. For most homes, that means a design pressure rating matched to your specific elevation and exposure, usually DP 50 or higher for lakefront and canal-adjacent properties. We quote PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and Marvin side by side on paper, so you see the actual numbers, not a vague “we’ll take care of it.”
On older Winter Park homes, the challenge is rarely the glass. It is the frame. Standard vinyl replacement windows get rejected by the Historic Preservation Board on contributing structures. We source wood and clad-wood units with original divided-light profiles that actually pass review.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Front doors and French doors take more abuse in Winter Park than nearly any other component. The humidity from the Chain of Lakes accelerates rust on hardware and rot in door bottoms, especially on north-facing entries that never fully dry. We install impact-rated entry doors from Andersen and ES Windows, and we pay close attention to sill flashing and jamb sealing, because a door that lets water into the frame will fail in five years even if the glass is rated for a Category 5.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
Here is the part most companies skip: Winter Park requires design-review approval from the Historic Preservation Board before any window or door replacement on a contributing structure in the city’s historic districts. That step does not exist a mile away in Orlando or Maitland. We build that timeline into every estimate for older Park Avenue-corridor homes. We also pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep the paperwork straight so your insurance wind-mitigation credit is applied correctly.

Hurricane Shutters & Protection
For some Winter Park homeowners, impact-rated fenestration is not the right fit, either because of budget or because the board prefers a shutter solution on a particularly historically sensitive facade. We install accordion, roll-down, and removable shutter systems that meet code, and we walk you through which option makes sense for your specific structure.

Trusted Brands We Service in Winter Park
We are authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we stock local parts for the brands most Winter Park homes already have. If your ES Windows unit has a failed seal or your Andersen French door is binding, we service what we install and most of what we did not. We regularly work with ECO Window Systems on mid-century and contemporary homes around the Chain of Lakes. The point is this: we are not tied to one brand. We quote what fits your house and your historic-district constraints, and we put the comparison on paper.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Winter Park Homes
- Historic Preservation Board rejections. We get called after a homeowner bought vinyl double-hungs and the board denied the application. The units sat in a garage for six months. We remove them, source compliant wood sash, and re-file the application with correct drawings. This is a three-week delay minimum, and it is avoidable.
- Frame-level moisture intrusion on lakeside homes. Homes along Lake Virginia, Lake Osceola, and Lake Maitland sit in near-constant elevated humidity. Wood sills and door bottoms rot years before the glass fails. We see jambs that are structurally gone while the insulated unit still looks perfect from the street.
- Mismatched replacement profiles. A 1920s Mediterranean Revival on a brick street near Park Avenue needs divided-light wood windows, not a grid stuck between glass. The board can tell the difference from the curb, and so can your neighbors. Off-the-shelf units fail review and must be swapped at full cost.
- Fogged glass mistaken for leak. Condensation between panes is a seal failure, not a leak in the frame. It means the argon or krypton fill escaped and the unit lost its insulating value. On waterfront homes with high UV exposure, this happens faster than homeowners expect. The fix is unit replacement, not recaulking.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Winter Park, FL
A typical impact window in Winter Park runs $900-$1,800 per opening for standard-size, non-historic homes. Impact sliding glass doors start around $3,500 and reach $7,500 for wider multi-panel configurations. Impact entry doors run $2,800-$6,500 depending on glass package and hardware. Custom wood impact window units with divided lights for historic-district homes start around $1,400 per opening and can exceed $2,800 for large casement or specialty shapes.
What changes the price in Winter Park is the Historic Preservation Board. Custom millwork profiles and wood or clad-wood construction add 40-60 percent over standard vinyl. Lead times, not labor, set the calendar. We lock the price in writing before we cut any purchase orders, so a three-week board delay does not silently inflate your invoice.
Every estimate is free. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will measure, quote manufacturer lines side by side, and put the numbers in writing.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Winter Park
No. Only contributing structures within designated historic districts require design review. Homes in Comstock-Adelaide, Hannibal Square, and the Park Avenue corridor typically do. Homes outside those districts, including most newer construction and most lakefront properties not designated as historic, generally only need standard building permit approval. We check your address against the city’s district map before we quote, so you know on day one whether board review applies. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will verify your address for free.
Almost certainly not if the home is a contributing structure. The Historic Preservation Board requires wood or clad-wood units with original divided-light profiles on most pre-1950 homes in the district. A standard vinyl double-hung with grids sandwiched between the glass will typically be rejected. We have sourced compliant replacements from Marvin and ES Windows for many of these bungalows, and we coordinate the board review as part of the job, not as an afterthought. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate that includes the full board process.
Add three to five weeks. The board review itself typically runs two to three weeks, and custom wood sash from specialty millworks often carries a six-to-eight-week lead time after approval. In Orlando or Maitland, a standard impact window job can go from contract to install in two to three weeks. In Winter Park’s historic district, plan on eight to twelve weeks. We build that timeline into the written estimate and lock pricing before we order, so the delay does not change your cost.
Yes, in nearly every case. Fog between the panes means the edge seal failed and the insulating gas fill escaped. The frame may still be sound, but the unit has lost its thermal performance. This is especially common on Chain of Lakes homes where constant humidity and high UV exposure stress the sealant. We replace the glass unit itself when the frame is intact, which runs $350-$700 per opening in Winter Park, significantly less than a full window replacement. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will inspect your units and tell you whether you need glass-only or full replacement.
Most Winter Park homes require a design pressure rating of DP 50 or higher, though lakefront and canal-adjacent structures with direct exposure may need DP 60 or greater depending on the specific site and elevation. The code requirement is based on the structure’s location and height, not the city line, so we do not guess. We calculate the required rating during our first measure and state it on your written quote. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact determination at your address.
If you live in Winter Park and you are tired of fogged seals, binding doors, or quotes that do not account for the Historic Preservation Board, call us. We will measure twice, quote on paper, and stand behind the work. The estimate is free. The phone is answered by a person. (754) 238-2201.
