Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Orlando
Window replacement in Orlando runs $700 to $2,400 per opening for most CBS-built homes, depending on whether you’re swapping an insert, doing a full-frame tear-out, or upgrading to impact-rated glass. That’s the number most Orlando homeowners actually need, and it’s the one we quote on paper before any work starts. If you live in Metrowest, Avalon Park, Lake Nona, or anywhere else across Orange County, you already know the drill: the original builder windows from the 1990s and early 2000s are failing, and Florida’s wind-load rules don’t care when your house was built. Call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk the job with you, measure every opening twice, and hand you a written line-item quote with the permit requirements spelled out.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Orlando’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve been replacing windows in Orlando’s concrete block homes long enough to know what an Orange County inspector is going to check before they sign the card. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after watching too many out-of-state crews nail flanges into block and walk away from rattling sashes. That’s not how we work. When we set a window in a CBS home, we anchor it with Tapcon screws into the block, flash the rough opening, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. It’s the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Orlando, from a single insert replacement to a full house of impact windows.
Our Orlando customers tend to be people who’ve lived in their house for fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years. They’re not chasing the cheapest bid. They want a company that answers the phone, shows up when it says it will, and stands behind the work in writing. That’s why we keep a live person on the line 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person in our Orlando office who knows the difference between a mullion and a muntin and can schedule your free estimate on the first call. Dale built TruePane the way a glazier builds a window: true, square, and built to stay.
We also work in your home the way we’d work in our own mother’s. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. Every quote lists manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, not what a salesman wants you to buy. And when the job’s done, we don’t disappear. Our Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing. That’s a square deal, and it’s the only kind we offer in Orlando.
Our Window Replacement Services in Orlando
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in Orlando typically runs $1,200 to $2,400 per window, including tear-out of the old frame, flashing, and stucco repair to match the reveal. This is the job that most CBS homeowners in neighborhoods like Metrowest and Avalon Park end up needing, because the original aluminum frames from the 1990s have corroded at the seams and can’t hold a new sash square. We remove the old window down to the block, set the new frame with masonry anchors, and re-flash the opening so the afternoon thunderstorms that roll through Orange County every summer don’t find a way in. Full frame replacement is also the only way to fix a window that’s been installed out of true by a previous contractor and binding at the corners.

Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement windows in Orlando cost between $700 and $1,500 per opening when the existing frame is still square, dry, and structurally sound. It’s a faster job, often completed in a single visit, and it preserves your interior trim and stucco. But before you go this route in a master-planned community like Lake Nona or Baldwin Park, check your HOA’s architectural standards. Some developments restrict frame color and grid pattern, and an insert that changes the look of your windows can draw a violation notice. We’ll help you check the rules before you spend the money, because a window you can’t live with isn’t a deal at any price.

Storm Window Replacement
Storm window replacement in Orlando has a specific meaning in 2026: it means upgrading to impact-rated units that carry a Florida Product Approval number. Orange County’s wind-speed maps sit outside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, but the design pressure requirements still apply to every replacement window, even same-size swaps. A typical impact-rated double-hung in Orlando runs $1,400 to $3,200 per window depending on the manufacturer line and whether you need laminated glass or a conventional DP-rated unit. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, all of which carry valid FL# listings for Orange County. If a crew quotes you an impact window without an FL# number on the quote, walk away.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Energy-efficient window upgrades in Orlando generally start at $900 per opening and climb based on glass package, frame material, and whether you want double or triple glazing. The specific problem in Orlando’s housing stock is the original builder-grade insulated glass from the 1980s and 1990s. The argon fill leaks out over two decades, the seal fails, and you end up with fog between the panes, but the glass itself still meets no meaningful energy standard. We replace those units with low-E coated glass that meets Orange County’s energy code amendment for U-factor and SHGC. In a house where the AC runs from March to October, that upgrade pays for itself faster than any other single change to the building envelope.

Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
We install and service more than a dozen manufacturer lines, but in Orlando our crews work most often with PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are the brands the local inspectors know, the ones that carry current Florida Product Approval numbers on file, and the ones that hold up in Central Florida’s combination of summer heat, 54-plus inches of annual rainfall, and the occasional named storm. When you want side-by-side quotes on paper, we’ll show you real numbers for each line so you can decide based on what the window costs and what it’s rated to do, not a brochure. We also keep common replacement parts and hardware for Orlando-area installations in stock, so a broken latch or a failed balance doesn’t mean waiting a week for a truck from another state.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Fogged panels in 1990s builder-grade windows. The original insulated glass units in Orlando’s fastest-built subdivisions, the ones that went up along the 408 and 417 corridors during the theme park boom, lose their argon fill after about 15 to 20 years. Most homeowners don’t realize the fog means the seal has already failed, and a replacement sash without low-E glass just means you’ll be back in the same spot in a decade. We quote low-E as the default on any fogged-panel replacement in Orlando, because the energy code amendment didn’t exist when your house was built, but the next inspection will hold you to it.
- Rattling sashes from improper CBS anchoring. A window in a concrete block home needs masonry fasteners, not roofing nails. We regularly see windows in east Orange County that a storm-chaser crew nailed into the old wood buck, skipped the Tapcon anchors, and called it a day. The first good wind event rattles the sash in its track, and the homeowner starts asking questions. If your windows rattle when the afternoon storms come through, call us before the next named storm does the full test.
- HOA violations for frame color or grid pattern changes. Master-planned communities like Lake Nona, Avalon Park, and Baldwin Park often have architectural review boards that restrict window appearance even when the replacement is an exact size match. A homeowner changes frame color from bronze to white or drops the colonial grids, and the HOA sends a letter. We’ve handled enough of these to review the standards with you before you sign, because reversing an install over a grid pattern is the dumbest way to spend a Saturday.
- Stop-work orders for missing Florida Product Approval numbers. Orange County inspectors require a valid FL# for virtually every window or door swap, even when you’re replacing like for like. Contractors licensed in Georgia or Texas routinely source products approved under their state codes but not listed in Florida’s database, and the job stops mid-install. We verify the FL# on every window before it goes on the truck, and we post the permit on your front door so the inspector can check it without slowing anything down.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Orlando, FL
Here’s what we see across Orlando as of this year, and these are the numbers we quote on paper before any work starts. A single insert replacement in a standard CBS home runs $700 to $1,500. Full frame replacement with stucco work runs $1,200 to $2,400 per opening. Impact-rated windows with a valid Florida Product Approval run $1,400 to $3,200. A full house of 14 to 18 windows in a 1990s Orlando home typically lands between $18,000 and $42,000 depending on frame material, glass package, and the manufacturer line you choose. What moves the price in Orange County specifically: the condition of your stucco reveals if you’re going full frame, whether your HOA restricts finishes, and whether you’re in a CBS or wood-frame section of an older neighborhood like Colonialtown or Audubon Park. We never leave surprise line items on the bill. The price we quote is the price you pay, and our Done Right Promise backs every window we set.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Orlando
Florida Building Code requires every replacement window in Orlando to carry a valid Florida Product Approval number and meet Orange County’s design pressure ratings for your specific wind zone, even if the new window is the exact same size as the old one. Jalousie windows fail those requirements outright: they can’t meet the DP ratings, and no approved jalousie product exists for residential replacement in Orange County. Practically speaking, that means the jalousies come out and a fixed or operating impact-rated window goes in, anchored to the block with masonry fasteners and flashed to handle the summer rain load. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you exactly which window sizes and ratings your house needs, with a written quote.
Most Orlando HOAs, including Avalon Park’s, require architectural review board approval before any exterior window change, even if you’re installing the same style and size that was there before. The rules vary by community, but common restrictions include frame color, grid pattern, and glass tint. Doing the work yourself doesn’t exempt you from the review process. In fact, we’ve seen HOAs cite homeowners for unapproved changes made by handyman-type installs more often than for professionally permitted work, because the permit record shows the spec. Before you buy anything, read your HOA’s architectural standards, and if you want help interpreting them, call us. We’ve walked dozens of Orlando homeowners through this exact review.
That clause scares a lot of Orlando homeowners, but in practice you can replace windows without voiding your stucco warranty if the stucco work is done to the builder’s original specification and the reveals are matched exactly. Some builders will put that in writing; others will want to inspect before and after. We handle this by matching the reveal depth, keeping the same stucco texture, and documenting the flashing and sealant details so the builder can’t claim a modification voided the warranty. We don’t tear out more stucco than necessary, and when we’re done, the opening looks the way the builder left it, just with a better window in it. If your builder wants a pre-install inspection, we’ll work with them. We’d rather spend an extra afternoon on paperwork than leave you holding a voided warranty.
No, the whole window isn’t bad, but the insulated glass unit has failed. The seal between the panes broke, the argon fill escaped, and moisture from Orlando’s humid air got inside. The frame and sashes are usually still fine. For most Metrowest homes, the fix is a new insulated glass unit, not a full window replacement. That runs $200 to $550 per sash depending on size and whether you’re upgrading to low-E glass, which we recommend because Orange County’s energy code amendment makes low-E the practical standard for any new glass going into a conditioned home. If you’ve got fog in more than one or two windows, we’ll quote you the glass replacement and the full window price side by side on paper so you can decide which makes more sense. Call (754) 238-2201 for that quote. It’s free.
Yes. Orange County requires a posted building permit for virtually every window replacement, including a single same-size swap, and the inspector will check the Florida Product Approval number on the new window before signing off. There’s no exception for unincorporated areas, and there’s no exception for small jobs. Some unscrupulous installers will tell you they can skip the permit to save a few hundred dollars, but if the county finds out later, you’ll pay double the fee and possibly a fine on top of it. We pull every permit for every window job in Orlando because it’s not optional and because the inspection record protects you when you sell the house. The county pulls the file, sees the permit, sees the approved product, and the deal closes clean.
