AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Pittman
Window replacement in Pittman runs $850-$2,800 per opening for most mid-century wood-frame homes, depending on whether the job is an insert swap or a full-frame rebuild with impact glass. Most of the homes we see in Pittman were built before Florida’s modern wind-load codes, which means a simple glass swap often becomes a code-driven tear-out once the permit is pulled. That’s the reality, and it’s why we price the surprise before you sign. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written quote.
We know the St. Johns River lowlands. We know what happens to wood jambs after thirty summers of humidity. We know the jalousie windows on the old farmhouses off Hastings Road. And we know how to rebuild those openings so they pass rough-in inspection the first time.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Pittman’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane has been doing window and door work in St. Johns County long enough that our crews don’t need a map to find Pittman. Our service area includes Window Replacement in Pittman, and we’ve pulled permits here on everything from 1950s farmhouses to newer frame construction. The inspectors know our rough-in work. That matters when the permit triggers a wind-load compliance review and the framing has to be rebuilt, not just wrapped.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We still work that way. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. Every opening is measured twice. And every quote shows manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, from the frame profile to the glass package.
The Keystone Standard backs every Pittman job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. Add the Done Right Promise on top of that. If something isn’t right, we make it right, no paperwork fight and no arguing.
Our Window Replacement Services in Pittman
Most Pittman homes fall into one of four job types. Here’s how we handle each.
Full Frame Replacement
The standard for Pittman’s older wood-frame homes. We remove the entire window down to the studs, inspect the rough opening for rot and failed waterproofing, sister in new framing where needed, and rebuild the pocket to accept a code-compliant unit. On a 1960s jalousie house west of the St. Johns River lowlands, our crew found the original sash had been leaking for years: the jamb and sill were dry-rotted, and the old flashing tape had peeled clean off the sheathing. We cut out the failed wood, installed new pressure-treated lumber, and reset the opening for a fusion-welded impact-rated double-hung with low-E glass and argon fill. All of that rough-in work was written as allowances in the contract before we touched anything. Full frame replacement in Pittman typically runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening.
Insert Window Replacement
Inserts work when the existing frame is square, dry, and structurally sound. In Pittman that’s the exception, not the rule. We’ll still do inserts on newer construction and on frames that pass inspection, but we won’t bury a good window in a bad pocket. If the wood is soft, we’ll tell you. Insert jobs in Pittman run $850-$1,600 per opening.
Storm Window Replacement
For Pittman homes east of Hastings Road, wind-driven rain and Atlantic storm tracks make exterior storm windows a serious protection layer. We replace broken storm units and upgrade older aluminum storms to modern extruded frames with laminated safety glass. Storm window replacement in Pittman runs $350-$750 per unit, including new weatherstripping and re-caulking the exterior trim.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Pittman’s humid subtropical climate punishes single-pane glass. An energy-efficient upgrade to dual-pane low-E with argon fill cuts glass-surface condensation and summer solar gain. On a 1,400-square-foot wood-frame home in Pittman with original aluminum sliders, a full upgrade to energy-rated windows typically runs $9,000-$18,000 for the whole house before any impact ratings are added. We register both warranty layers in writing, and the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.
Our Window Replacement team handles every job type above with the same process: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we cut anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pittman

We stock common replacement hardware locally for those lines, which keeps turnaround tight when a Pittman homeowner needs a sash replaced or a balance repaired. We don’t push one brand.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Pittman Homes
- Jalousie frames rotted past the point of insert replacement - The louvered glass slats common on Pittman homes built between the 1950s and 1970s can’t be made wind-load compliant, and the wood frames around them are often shot after sixty years of humidity. A permit on these forces a full tear-out.
- Seal-failed aluminum sliders left in place - Fogged glass means the argon is gone and the insulating value is zero. Old aluminum sliders also fail impact tests outright, so keeping them in a Pittman house is a hurricane liability and an energy drain at the same time.
- DIY flash-and-go jobs over rotten jambs - We see off-the-shelf flashing tape slapped over water-damaged wood. The St. Johns County inspector fails these on rough-in every time, and the homeowner pays twice: once for the bad work, once for the rebuild.
- Undersized framing around original openings - Mid-century Pittman houses often have rough openings sized for jalousie units, not modern impact-rated windows. The header and trimmers usually need reinforcement before a code-compliant unit can go in.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Pittman, FL
Here’s what Pittman homeowners should expect, per opening, including basic installation labor but excluding any hidden structural repair work:
- Insert replacement: $850-$1,600
- Full frame replacement: $1,400-$2,800

What moves the price on a Pittman job is rot repair, header reinforcement, and the cost of impact-rated glazing once the permit triggers the code review. We write those as look-ahead allowances in the contract, and if we find something during tear-out that wasn’t priced, we stop, show you the condition in person, and get your signature on the extra before we buy material. No surprise line items at the end. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free written estimate.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Pittman
Jalousie windows cannot be made code-compliant for wind-load or impact resistance under current Florida Building Code, so any permit pulled on a Pittman home with jalousies triggers a full system tear-out, not a pane swap. It’s not a matter of cost or preference. The inspector won’t pass it. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll explain exactly what the permit will require on your home before you spend anything.
On a mid-century wood-frame Pittman home with original single-pane units, pulling a permit triggers a Florida Building Code wind-load and impact-resistance compliance review, which means the replacement windows must meet current hurricane standards. That often requires rebuilding the rough opening to size, reinforcing headers, and installing impact-rated glazing rather than standard units. We handle the permit paperwork, pull it, and schedule inspections as part of the job.
If your Pittman home is older and you’re pulling a permit for window replacement, then yes, under current St. Johns County enforcement, the replacement units generally have to meet FBC wind-load and impact requirements regardless of distance from the coastline. A newer home with existing code-compliant frames may not need impact on every opening, but an older wood-frame with jalousies or aluminum sliders almost always does. We’ll tell you exactly which openings require it during the estimate.
Because the openings were built for jalousie and aluminum slider units that don’t meet modern framing or impact standards, so the quote has to include tear-out, rot repair, header work, and code-required upgrades. Our quotes include those allowances up front, written out line by line, so the price you sign is the price you see. If we find something during the tear-out that wasn’t in the contract, we stop and get written approval before any new material is ordered.
On a typical Pittman wood-frame home switching from single-pane jalousie or seal-failed aluminum sliders to dual-pane low-E with argon fill, homeowners generally see a 20-35% reduction in cooling load during the summer months, which is the dominant energy draw in this climate. The quieter interior and the condensation-free glass are immediate, and the reduction in solar gain through west-facing openings off Hastings Road is real. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll run the numbers on your house’s orientation and your existing units.
