Why Alafaya Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
We work in Alafaya the way we’d work on our own mothers’ houses. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up when they say they will, measure every opening twice, and put quotes from different manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. We’ve handled replacements throughout Waterford Lakes and Eastwood, where the architectural review board process adds a layer most contractors never mention until it’s too late. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard drives every install we do in Alafaya.
We’re not a franchise chasing quarterly numbers. We’re a second-generation glazier’s operation that has served local communities since 2008, and we plan to be answering the phone for Alafaya homeowners thirty years from now. Every job carries our Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Alafaya
Window Installation
We install new-construction and retrofit windows sized to Alafaya’s wood-frame, stucco-exterior homes. Flashing, sealing, and true leveling come standard, because Central Florida’s humidity will find any shortcut within a season. Learn more about our Window Installation in Alafaya.
Door Installation
Entry doors, patio doors, and side doors installed square so they don’t bind when the humidity pushes 85% in August. We address threshold height and weather stripping as part of the job, not an add-on. Learn more about our Door Installation in Alafaya.
Window Replacement
We replace builder-grade aluminum sliders and early double-panes that have reached the 20 to 30 year failure point common across Alafaya’s 1990s and early 2000s subdivisions. The goal is a window that actually seals, opens, and meets current wind-load standards. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Alafaya.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated glazing from manufacturers like PGT and CGI is a growing requirement for insurance coverage eligibility in Orange County. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-Efficient Windows in Alafaya with Low-E coatings and insulated frames make a measurable difference against Central Florida’s year-round UV. We’ll quote options from manufacturer lines including Ply Gem so you can compare performance and cost on paper.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Sliding & Patio Doors - Alafaya installed so they glide with one hand, even when the frame has shifted over two decades. We deal with corroded tracks, failing rollers, and weathered thresholds every week in Alafaya.
Glass Railing Systems
For balconies, lanais, and pool decks, we install Glass Railing Systems - Alafaya that meet Florida Building Code requirements and hold up to UV exposure without clouding or loosening.
Custom Windows & Doors
Non-standard openings are common in Alafaya’s villa-style units and 2000s-era townhomes. We build to the opening, not the other way around, and we’ll walk you through the architectural review paperwork before any work starts.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Alafaya

Why Alafaya’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Alafaya’s housing stock is unlike older Orlando neighborhoods and unlike the newer builds farther east. Most of the single-family tract homes, townhomes, and villa-style units here went up between roughly 1990 and 2015, which means original aluminum-frame windows and 6-panel fiberglass entry doors are now aging out at the same time. Central Florida’s combination of intense year-round UV, summer humidity that stays above 85% for weeks at a stretch, and the annual hurricane threat does not age this stuff gradually. It warps thresholds, corrodes aluminum tracks, and kills window seals in a handful of seasons. Homes built before the post-2002 Florida Building Code wind-load standards took effect often fail both the performance test and the insurance compliance test at the same time.
There’s another layer in Alafaya that neighboring cities don’t share. Many of the largest subdivisions, Waterford Lakes and Eastwood especially, require architectural review board approval before any exterior window or door replacement. Specific frame colors, grid patterns, and material choices have to be approved before the first pane comes out. A contractor who doesn’t know that process can leave a homeowner with a finished install and an HOA violation letter in the same week. We handle that dual compliance, HOA aesthetic standards and Orange County impact-resistance code, as part of the quote, not as a surprise at the end.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Alafaya
Most single window replacements in Alafaya run between $700 and $1,400 per opening, and full-home jobs on 1990s-era tract homes commonly land between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on manufacturer line and whether impact rating is required. The HOA review in communities like Waterford Lakes can add several weeks to the timeline but not typically to the cost. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written quote on your specific openings, free of charge.
No. We quote fixed line-item pricing and we don’t write change orders unless you ask for a change. Our upfront pricing is part of what Dale Kessler calls a square deal, and it’s been the operating rule since 2008. If we find rot or structural damage behind a frame, we’ll stop and show you before touching it, and the fix price is agreed before any extra work starts.
Yes. We pull Orange County permits and schedule inspections as part of the job. We also handle the architectural review board application for HOA-governed communities like Eastwood and Waterford Lakes, which is the step that trips up out-of-area contractors and leaves homeowners holding a violation notice. Permits, inspections, HOA approval, all handled.
A typical single window replacement runs half a day. A full-home window and slider replacement across a 2,000 square foot Alafaya home usually takes two to four working days, with a little extra time if the HOA review board has to meet. Impact-rated custom orders can add two to three weeks of lead time for fabrication. We’ll give you a firm schedule in writing before we start.
Many Orange County homeowners are finding that their insurance carrier now requires impact-rated glazing for coverage eligibility, especially on homes built before the 2002 Florida Building Code wind-load updates. Even where coverage isn’t tied to it, Alafaya’s annual hurricane exposure makes Impact Windows & Doors in Alafaya a practical choice. We quote impact lines from PGT and CGI side by side with standard lines so you can see the cost difference in writing before deciding.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days. If something isn’t right, we fix it. No paperwork fight, no fine print. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with their durations stated before our truck leaves your driveway, and the 90-day coverage sits on top of that. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every job we do in Alafaya.
If you’re in Alafaya and your windows or doors are showing their age, call TruePane at (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate. A live person answers. We’ll measure, quote manufacturer lines on paper, and walk you through what your HOA and insurance actually require. Done right, the first time.

What Alafaya Customers Say
"Had fog between the panes in four windows. They explained the seals had failed and argon was long gone, replaced the glass units instead of selling me whole windows. Honest outfit."
- Frank D."Impact windows on the whole house. They handled the permit, the inspection, and gave me a folder with every approval number for the insurance company. My windstorm premium dropped enough to notice."
- Bill T."Storm door and a new back entry door. Small job, but they treated it like one that mattered. Screws in the hinges are stainless, the sweep actually seals, and the invoice matched the phone quote to the dollar."
- Vernon H.
