AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Edgewood
Sliding glass door replacement in Edgewood almost always carries a complication most homeowners don’t see coming: the county tax rolls list most of these 1950s-1970s ranch openings as non-conforming, which means a new patio slider has to be an impact-rated, FBC-compliant unit tied into Orange County’s wind-load calculations. Not a hardware swap. We’ve been doing this work long enough to scope it correctly on the first visit, so the quote you get is the price you pay. If your slider is sticking, fogged, leaking, or showing rot around the jamb, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 238-2201. We’ll measure every opening twice, pull the permit requirements, and give you a line-item quote on paper before any work starts.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Edgewood is a small residential city, fully surrounded by Orlando and Orange County, and most of the homes we work on are mid-century ranches built between 1950 and 1975. Those houses share the same DNA: original aluminum sliders, rear jalousie enclosures, wood jambs that have spent fifty years absorbing Florida humidity. We know what we’ll find before we open the wall. That matters, because the big-box quote rarely accounts for what’s actually behind the trim.
Homeowners around Lake Conway, along Edgewood Drive, and in the streets off Hansel Avenue call us because we quote the code-upgrade work up front. Not after demolition. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that names the company and governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We’re not the cheapest bid in Edgewood, and we don’t try to be. We’re the last call a homeowner needs to make on a door.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Edgewood
We install, replace, and service every type of sliding and patio door you’ll find on an Edgewood ranch. The work scopes differently depending on whether we’re swapping a single panel, rebuilding a rotted rough opening, or turning a rear Florida room into a proper living space. Here’s what we handle most often in this city.
Patio Sliding Doors
The classic two-panel slider is the most common opening on Edgewood’s mid-century homes, and it’s also the one most likely to fail at the threshold. We replace original aluminum units with impact-rated, fusion-welded frames that meet current FBC wind-load requirements under Orange County permitting. If the jamb is rotted from years of Lake Conway moisture, we don’t hide it. We scope the full-frame rebuild in the estimate.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Some Edgewood homeowners want a wider opening without the maintenance issues of a cheap roller system. Heavy-duty sliders with reinforced tracks and stainless rollers handle the weight of larger glass units without binding. On older ranches where the floor has settled out of level, we’ll measure the deflection before recommending a door, because a heavy slider on a sagging slab will always fight the track.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket doors are a practical solution for Edgewood ranch homes where swing doors crowd a hallway or a rear entry. We install new pocket frames, repair existing pockets where the track has failed, and build out openings for barn doors that don’t eat floor space. The older the house, the more careful the rough-opening inspection needs to be; we do that inspection before we quote.
Screen Door Installation
Edgewood’s rear patios and Florida rooms live with bugs eight months of the year. We build and install screen doors sized to your slider or French opening, with frames that won’t twist under daily use. If you’re replacing the patio door anyway, we’ll coordinate the screen door so both tracks align on day one.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- Pitted tracks and dead rollers on original aluminum sliders. Decades of UV exposure and humidity oxidize the aluminum and eat the roller bearings. The track can’t be repaired, and the unit usually predates modern wind codes, so replacement is the honest fix, not a roller swap.
- Rotted wood jambs and thresholds on rear patio doors. West-facing openings near Lake Conway take the brunt of moisture-laden air off the water. We routinely rebuild jambs, reframe the rough opening, and flash the new unit properly under a county permit.
- Fogged insulated glass units. Seal failure shows up as condensation between the panes. The glazing on a 1960s Edgewood slider was never built to handle Florida’s humidity load, and once the seal goes, the glass unit is done. We replace the IGU or the entire door if the frame can’t support current glazing.
- Non-impact glazing on storm-facing openings. Sliders installed before Florida’s modern wind codes often have annealed glass and weak jambs. When a tropical storm pushes them past design limits, the entire unit has to be replaced with impact-rated glass. We don’t patch these; we bring them to code.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Edgewood, FL
In Edgewood, a standard patio sliding door replacement typically runs $1,800-$3,600, including the unit, full-frame installation, and Orange County permitting. Heavy-duty sliders with impact-rated glass start around $2,800 and climb to $5,500 or more depending on the opening width and structural work. Pocket door installations run $1,200-$2,800, while a full rear-opening conversion to a panoramic or multi-slide system starts around $6,000 and can reach $12,000+ for larger spans. The variables in Edgewood are almost always the same: rotted jambs, non-conforming openings, and the wind-load upgrades the permit reviewer requires. We scope all of that before we quote, so the number we put on paper is the number you pay.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Edgewood
Yes, in almost every case. Orange County code enforcement treats a sliding door replacement on Edgewood’s non-conforming ranch openings as a code-upgrade trigger, not a like-for-like swap. The permit review checks wind-load ratings, impact glazing, and flashing details. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and pass it before we consider the job done. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll confirm the permit path for your specific opening.
The big-box price covers the door only. An Edgewood quote has to cover the impact-rated unit, the county permit, the wind-load documentation, and very often the structural repairs behind the trim: rotted jambs, undersized headers, non-conforming rough openings. When a contractor quotes the bare door and hits all of that mid-job, the change order eats the discount. We scope the whole opening before we quote, so the price reflects the actual job. Estimates are free.
Sometimes, but it depends on the existing header and the floor deflection. Many 1960s ranch homes in Edgewood have headers sized for a standard slider, not a wide multi-slide span. We measure the structural load path before we recommend anything, and if the header needs reinforcement, that’s in the fixed quote, not a surprise add-on. Call us for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what’s possible at your house.
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a temporary patch. Once the seal on an insulated glass unit fails, moisture has entered the cavity and the gas has leaked out. The IGU is done. On some Edgewood sliders we can replace just the glass unit, but on original 1960s frames the glazing channel often won’t accept current-rated glass, so the whole door gets replaced. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you which route applies to your door.
We rebuild the rough opening properly. That means cutting out the rotted lumber, reframing to current Orange County code, installing new flashing tape and sill pan, and then setting the new unit. On a recent job on Edgewood Drive, a 1962 ranch had a Jeld-Wen aluminum slider with a broken track and fogged glass. The homeowner wanted a track repair, but the jamb was rotted from decades of Lake Conway humidity and the opening wasn’t wide enough for any current impact-rated glazing. We scoped a full-frame replacement with a Simonton fusion-welded frame, new flashing, and a county permit, and the door now seals against moisture properly. We stand behind the work for 90 days under our Done Right Promise, and both warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave the driveway.
