Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Union Park
Custom windows and doors in Union Park aren’t a pick-from-a-catalog job. Most homes here were built between 1972 and 1992 as concrete block ranch houses, and the original single-pane aluminum frames and hollow-core sliding doors were installed long before Florida’s post-2004 wind-load code updates. That means a “simple” replacement in Union Park usually turns into a spec-driven custom project the moment a permit is pulled. We know this because we’ve worked these streets for years. Call (754) 238-2201 and you’ll reach a live person who can tell you what to expect before anyone measures an opening.
TruePane Windows & Doors works throughout Union Park, from the ranch blocks along Dean Road up to the neighborhoods near University Boulevard, down through the residential stretches off Rouse Road. Our crews know the housing stock here. We know which original windows the Orange County inspectors will flag, which Florida room additions were never permitted, and which door surrounds are hiding rotted wood behind the aluminum trim. That local knowledge matters when a homeowner is about to spend five figures on custom glazing.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Homeowners in Union Park have been burned before. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July, then stopped answering the phone. We run our company differently because Dale Kessler founded it that way: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a slogan. It’s the rule our crews work under, and it’s been that way since 2008 of community service.
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, and PGT. That matters in Union Park because this housing stock often calls for custom shapes and architectural grilles rather than stock sizes. We can put side-by-side quotes from different manufacturers on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying, not just take a salesman’s word for it. Every quote includes both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional.
We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor the kind of things a company sponsors when it plans to still be here in thirty years. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail tree.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Union Park
Most of what we do in Union Park involves retrofitting custom glazing into homes that were never designed for it. The sub-services below are the ones we use most on these specific houses. For a broader look at what we offer, see our Custom Windows & Doors hub page.
Custom Shape Windows
Union Park’s CBS ranch homes often have odd openings: eyebrow vents, trapezoid transoms over front doors, octagonal openings in Florida rooms, and knee-wall windows cut into additions from the 1980s. Stock windows don’t fit those openings. We draw custom shapes to match the existing rough opening, order them through PGT or Andersen with the right impact rating, and set them so they seal against wind-driven rain. A custom shape window in Union Park typically runs $1,100-$2,800 per unit installed, depending on size and glazing package.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Union Park has a mix of small commercial strips along University Boulevard and Dean Road where ageing aluminum storefront systems are losing seals and leaking in afternoon storms. We replace storefront glazing with engineered systems that meet current wind-load requirements, which older storefronts in Union Park frequently cannot. This work usually runs $70-$140 per square foot for full removal and replacement, including new framing and glass.

Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial buildings in Union Park, curtain wall replacement is a structural project disguised as a window job. The existing aluminum mullions from the 1980s often fail under the same wind-load standards that killed the original residential windows. We coordinate with structural engineers when needed and install new curtain wall systems that pass Orange County inspection the first time. Budget $95-$180 per square foot depending on the system and access conditions.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Many Union Park homeowners want to keep the traditional look of their ranch home while upgrading to impact glass. Simulated divided lites (SDLs) with aluminum grilles applied to the interior do exactly that. We’ve built custom grille patterns to match existing muntin profiles on homes throughout Union Park so the new windows don’t look like new windows. SDL grilles typically add $180-$420 per window, but the result is a window that reads as original to the house.

Oversized Glass Panels
Oversized panels are where Union Park’s old Florida rooms become something else entirely. Replacing a jalousie wall with a single large impact-rated pane or a four-panel slider changes the room, but it requires engineering down to the lintel. These panels run $2,500-$6,000 installed depending on square footage and whether lamination is required. The permit and the structural header are what actually drive the schedule, not the labor.

Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturers, and for Union Park homes we lean heavily on PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem product lines. PGT’s impact windows are a go-to for the ranch houses that need wind-load compliance without reframing the entire opening. CGI comes into play when homeowners want thicker laminated glass for hurricane protection and noise reduction along busier streets like Dean Road. Ply Gem offers a strong mid-range option when the budget is tighter but the permit still demands code-compliant glazing. Because Union Park’s housing stock has such consistent original dimensions, we keep common custom size blanks and hardware on hand for faster turnarounds.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Union Park Homes
- Jalousie windows in original Florida rooms get flagged by Orange County inspectors. A homeowner calls us for a sliding door replacement, the inspector opens the permit for the whole scope, and suddenly the louvered windows on the Florida room are in scope too. That “one window job” routinely expands into a full room re-window with custom impact-rated glazing.
- Aluminum frame seal failure from wind-driven rain causes water intrusion behind CBS walls. Union Park sits inland without any coastal buffer, so afternoon convective storms from June through September push wind-driven rain directly into deteriorating aluminum frame seals. The water gets behind the concrete block walls and rots the wood door jambs hidden behind the aluminum trim.
- Hollow-core sliding glass doors from the 1970s shatter or buckle under modern wind-load tests. These original doors were never designed for current code. Once a permit is opened, they’re out of compliance. Replacing them with an engineered impact-rated frame becomes mandatory before any custom door work can proceed.
- Corroded aluminum frames from the year-round high humidity. Union Park’s humidity doesn’t take a season off. Aluminum frames original to the 1970s and 1980s corrode along the tracks and weep holes, which then bind the sashes and trap water inside the frame itself.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Union Park, FL
Custom work in Union Park is priced by the opening, the glazing package, and the permit scope, not by a flat per-window number. Here are the ranges we quote most on these houses:
- Custom shape window: $1,100-$2,800 per unit installed
- Impact-rated replacement window (PGT or CGI, stock size): $850-$1,600 per unit
- Full Florida room re-window (including jalousie removal and new framing): $6,000-$14,000 depending on the number of openings
- Sliding glass door replacement with engineered impact-rated frame: $2,800-$5,500
- Oversized glass panel: $2,500-$6,000 depending on square footage and lamination
- Architectural grilles / SDLs: $180-$420 per window added to the unit price
These are honest ranges for Union Park’s market. The permit is what drives cost here more than anything else, because it forces the scope to include wind-load compliance on openings built before 2004.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Union Park
Yes, in almost every case. Orange County inspectors treat any permitted window or door project as an opportunity to bring the entire scope into wind-load compliance. Jalousie louvered windows, which are common in Union Park’s Florida rooms and carport enclosures from the 1970s and 1980s, cannot be brought into compliance. They get red-flagged the moment the inspection happens, and the scope expands to include replacement. We walk through this with you before you open the permit so there are no surprises. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you what the inspector will look for on your specific house.
The original sliding glass doors in Union Park’s CBS ranch homes are hollow-core aluminum units that don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load standards. Once the project is permitted, the inspector requires the replacement to meet those standards, which usually means an engineered impact-rated frame and custom sizing. The old buck and rotted sub-sill hidden behind the trim have to come out too. That’s the reality on these houses, and we quote for it upfront so the price doesn’t change once work starts.
Casement windows and horizontal sliders with simulated divided lites (SDLs) tend to fit Union Park’s original openings best. They keep the ranch-era proportions, meet wind-load compliance, and don’t require widening the rough opening or changing the header. On a 1980s CBS ranch near the corner of Dean Road and University Boulevard, we replaced a corroded aluminum jalousie Florida room and a leaking sliding glass door with impact-rated casement windows and a Marvin sliding door. Our crew cut out the rotted wood sub-sill, installed flashing tape around the new buck, and the homeowner passed Orange County’s wind-load inspection on the first try.
Union Park’s year-round humidity rots wood door jambs and sub-sills on any wood-framed door surround, especially on the western exposures that catch afternoon sun and rain. What looks like a simple door swap often reveals rotted wood the moment the old millwork is pulled. We replace the door buck and sub-sill with pressure-treated or composite lumber, flash it properly, and only then set the custom door. It’s the only way the door won’t bind in July and leak in September.
Lead times, not labor, set the calendar on custom work. Custom shape windows, oversized glass panels, and architectural grilles from PGT or Anderson typically run 6-10 weeks for fabrication before they ship. The installation itself is usually 1-2 days per opening. We put the order in writing and the price is fixed before anything is ordered, so the schedule is set at the moment you sign.
