AfterPGT Windows & Doors in Edgewood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We repair and service PGT windows and doors across Edgewood, and the thing that separates our work here is simple: almost every home in this city was built between 1950 and 1975, which means most PGT units we touch are retrofits into openings that were never framed for modern wind loads. That changes how the work gets done. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent PGT service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and we’ve been setting glass in Central Florida since 2008. Call (754) 238-2201 for a straight answer about your windows.
Why Edgewood Residents Choose Us for PGT Service
Edgewood isn’t a big city. It’s a small postwar residential pocket surrounded by Orlando on all sides, and the houses here have a personality: ranch slabs, low roof lines, jalousie porches, and window openings that were sized for single-pane aluminum before hurricane codes existed in Orange County. When a PGT slider binds or a WinGuard casement won’t lock, the problem usually involves more than a worn roller. It involves an old opening, a settling slab, and years of humidity working against the frame. Our technicians have been measuring, sourcing, and setting our Window Installation in Edgewood and doors in South Florida for going on three decades. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule he learned from his father while re-glazing storefronts along the Tamiami Trail: measure it right the first time, or plan on coming back. We bring that same discipline to every PGT unit in Edgewood.
We also understand the brand. Our team works on PGT windows and doors exclusively enough to know the failure signatures of each series, from WinGuard impact units to the non-impact SpectraGuard lines. We carry a full set of PGT-specific balances, rollers, and hinge hardware to service Edgewood’s mid-century openings without guesswork. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form.
Common PGT Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Edgewood
- Sagging sash on original PGT 2300 single-hungs. Edgewood’s ranch homes trap moisture against window frames, and when humidity swells the wood-clad interior finish on these units, the diagonal support at the meeting rail loses its bite. The sash starts dropping at one corner and the lock no longer lines up. We’ve rebuilt dozens of these in Edgewood, replacing the support and re-squaring the frame.
- Corroded roller assemblies and bent tracks on PGT sliding glass doors. West-facing exposures in Edgewood eat door hardware. Afternoon thunderstorms push airborne grit and moisture into the sill channels, and before long the door drags on the screws. We replace rollers and re-align tracks using PGT OEM parts where available, marine-grade aftermarket where the originals are discontinued.
- Failed argon fills and fogging on early SpectraGuard insulated glass units. Central Florida’s UV intensity is unrelenting, and Edgewood’s older homes often have units that baked in full sun for fifteen or twenty years. The edge seal degrades, the argon leaks out, and condensation builds between the panes. If the frame is still sound, we can often replace the IGU. If the frame has been compromised by humidity, we’ll tell you straight and recommend replacement.
- Stripped or seized locking points on WinGuard casement windows. Lake Conway’s moisture-laden air mixes with aluminum oxidation on the multi-point lock bar, and over time the locking points grind down or seize up. Homeowners near the shoreline see this more than anyone else in Edgewood. We rebuild the lock mechanism and replace weatherstripping at the same time.
- Jalousie-to-impact conversions that stall out. Edgewood has a lot of original jalousie windows on rear Florida rooms and screened enclosures. These cannot be retrofitted with a PGT WinGuard insert because the original opening framing won’t carry the load. We handle the full re-frame and re-flash under an Orange County permit, which is the only way to get it done right.
PGT Service in Edgewood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what makes PGT service in Edgewood different from just about anywhere else in Orange County. The city’s entire housing stock, nearly all of it mid-century ranches from roughly 1950 to 1975, was built years before Florida adopted post-1992 wind-load standards. That means a homeowner who assumes a PGT window swap is a simple matter of pulling the old unit and dropping in a new one is going to be surprised. Under Orange County permitting authority, any replacement must meet current Florida Building Code wind-resistance standards. An original jalousie opening, common on Edgewood’s rear Florida rooms, cannot accept a PGT WinGuard insert without a full re-frame. The rough opening has to be re-built, re-flashed, and permitted, adding at least $1,200 per opening in structural work. A homeowner in nearby Belle Isle with a mid-2000s home would rarely face that. Edgewood homeowners deal with it on almost every job. We don’t hide from it. We walk the opening, explain what’s required, and give a written line-item quote before any work starts.
PGT Models & Products We Service in Edgewood
We service the PGT WinGuard Impact Series, the non-impact SpectraGuard Series, PGT Eze-Breeze vertical sliding panels, and the PGT 2300 Series single-hungs that are so common in Edgewood’s older ranches. Our default is PGT OEM parts: balances, rollers, locking bars, and weatherstripping that match the original framing design. When a product line is out of production and the trim piece is obsolete, we use marine-grade aftermarket components that match the original profile and finish. We stock the fast-moving PGT hardware locally, which keeps turnaround short for Edgewood service calls. We’re also straight about when a repair stops making sense. If the opening is 60 years old and cannot meet current wind code, a full replacement is often safer and cheaper than patching aged framing.
For full PGT sales & service, including hurricane impact windows, full frame replacements, wind mitigation and code compliance work, and sliding windows, we bring the same measured approach to every opening.
PGT Service Pricing in Edgewood
PGT service pricing in Edgewood depends on what’s failed and how old the opening is. You can expect roller and track repairs on a sliding glass door to land between $190 and $420, while a balance replacement on a PGT single-hung typically runs $160 to $320 per window. Fogged glass replacement runs anywhere from $250 to $700 depending on the IGU size and whether the sash needs rework. If the failure is structural or the opening requires re-framing to meet Orange County wind code, the tab moves into the $1,200 to $2,500 range per opening, and we’ll show you exactly why. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the job with you before quoting a number. All estimates include a written line-item breakdown, and our Done Right Promise means if it isn’t done right, we make it right without a paperwork fight.

FAQs - PGT Windows & Doors in Edgewood
No. Jalousie windows cannot be made to meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements in any cost-effective way, and Orange County will not permit a storm panel overlay as a code-compliant fix. The opening must be re-framed and fitted with a compliant impact unit. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll show you what’s involved.
Rain on the west side of an Edgewood ranch pushes grit and moisture into the sill channel, and over time the roller assemblies corrode and the track deforms. We see this regularly on doors facing afternoon thunderstorms. Replacing the rollers and re-aligning the track as part of our Door Installation in Edgewood service usually restores one-handed operation.
Not necessarily. Products of that era were tested to older standards, and Orange County enforces current Florida Building Code requirements for any replacement. We’ll check the unit’s labeling and framing, and if it won’t pass, we’ll walk you through the upgrade path, including full frame replacement where needed. Estimates are free at (754) 238-2201.
No. If the top sash is clear, we can replace just the failed bottom IGU. That’s usually a straightforward job. But we’ll check the frame condition while we’re in there, because Edgewood humidity and UV exposure can compromise seals on both sashes within a year of each other. If the second one is close to the same condition, we’ll tell you before you spend money twice.
That’s salt-laden air from Lake Conway mixing with aluminum oxidation on the lock bar. The locking points grind down over time, and repeated forcing strips them further. We rebuild the mechanism and replace the lock bar. If you’re near the water, we also recommend an annual tune-up, which we offer for $89 before the storm season each year. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote.
