AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Moon Lake
Impact window and door replacement in Moon Lake usually means a full frame-and-glazing upgrade, not a glass swap. That’s because this unincorporated Pasco County community sits inside the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region, and most homes here still carry original single-pane aluminum frames or jalousie windows that no longer meet code. Our Impact Windows & Doors team knows the difference between a cosmetic repair and a permit-triggering replacement on a lakeside parcel. If you’re weighing your options on a 1960s CBS home off Moon Lake Road, call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what the county will actually require.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Moon Lake’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We’ve spent years working the lakefront parcels and the quiet streets back from the water, and we know what the afternoon on-shore breeze does to aluminum frames out here. It packs the tracks with oxidized powder, rots wood sills, and turns weatherstripping brittle faster than you’d see a mile inland. That’s not a sales line. It’s what we find when we pull a jalousie unit out of a concrete-block wall built in 1974.
Moon Lake homeowners tend to be people who’ve lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years. They remember the last contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. We built TruePane for them. Dale Kessler, our founder, is a second-generation glazier who started this company in 2008 because out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. Every job we do carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Moon Lake, and we won’t pretend to be. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and stand behind the workmanship. That’s The Keystone Standard. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You call, you get a person. Not a voicemail tree.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Moon Lake
Hurricane Impact Windows
Replacement windows on any permitted Moon Lake project must be impact-rated or paired with an approved shutter system. That’s not our preference; that’s Pasco County applying the Florida Building Code to the wind-borne debris region. On a typical lakeside CBS home, a full impact window package runs $850 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on frame material, size, and whether we’re adding new weep-hole covers and backer-rod sealing at the rough opening. We measure twice, quote in writing, and register the warranty layers before we leave.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Original hollow-core exterior doors on Moon Lake lakefront parcels warp and delaminate from year-round elevated humidity. By the time a homeowner calls, the gaps are compromising wind-borne debris protection and inviting water intrusion during storm season. An impact-rated entry door in Moon Lake typically runs $2,200 to $4,800 installed. French door sets start around $3,800 and go up with width and glass package. We set the sill on a sealed rough opening and flash the jambs with self-adhered tape so the moisture path that killed the old door doesn’t follow the new one.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding doors facing the lake take the worst of that daily breeze. Tracks fill with oxidized aluminum powder, rollers bind, and the seals fail years earlier than they should. A new impact-rated sliding glass door for a Moon Lake home runs $2,800 to $6,500 installed, with the spread driven by panel count, glass tint, and whether the existing rough opening needs reframing. We level the header, reseal the opening, and set the new track on a bed of backer rod so it drains the way it should.
Impact Garage Doors
Many Moon Lake homes have attached garages with original unrated metal doors. In a wind event, an unbraced garage door is often the first failure point, and once it goes, the roof follows. Impact-rated garage doors for this market run $1,800 to $4,200 installed, including reinforcement struts and new track. We also handle replacement of rotted side jambs, which is common on lakefront parcels where humidity never really lets up.

Trusted Brands We Service in Moon Lake
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Moon Lake homes we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem side by side on paper. You see the price difference, the glass package difference, and the warranty duration difference before you commit. We stock common replacement parts locally for these brands, which means a service call on a PGT sash balance or a CGI hinge doesn’t wait on a distributor two counties away. If you need a specific line quoted for a lakefront elevation, call and we’ll put it in writing.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Moon Lake Homes
- Oxidized aluminum powder in lake-facing window tracks. The daily on-shore breeze off Moon Lake pushes moisture into un-weep-holed original frames. The aluminum sheds a fine powder that packs the track, binds the sash, and destroys the glazing tape. By the time you notice the window sticking, the frame is usually beyond repair.
- Jalousie windows that can’t be repaired in-kind. Florida Building Code no longer permits louvered-glass jalousies as in-kind replacements on any permitted project. So a cracked pane becomes a full frame-and-glazing upgrade the moment you pull a permit. We heard the frustration on this one for years before Pasco County started enforcing it consistently.
- Warped and delaminated hollow-core exterior doors. The humidity off the lake surface works on wood and composite doors year-round. On lakefront parcels, original doors often delaminate at the bottom rail and leave a gap big enough to compromise wind-borne debris protection. That’s a code failure and a water intrusion problem waiting for the next storm.
- Rotted wood sills on the rough opening. Even well-maintained CBS homes on Moon Lake get sill rot where the stucco meets the window buck. If the sill is soft, the new impact unit won’t seat square, and the seal will fail early. We scope the rough opening before we quote, because finding rot after demo changes the price and we won’t hide that in a change order.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Moon Lake
Because Moon Lake sits inside the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region, and the code no longer permits jalousie windows as in-kind replacements on any permitted project. A simple cracked pane on a 1960s jalousie becomes a full frame-and-glazing upgrade the moment Pasco County issues the permit. The only exception is unpermitted work, which we won’t do. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll scope your openings and tell you what the county will actually require.
Septic and well setbacks in Pasco County restrict where materials can be staged on your parcel, and any new door rough opening must sit outside the required clearance from the septic drainfield and the wellhead. On smaller lakefront lots this can be tight. We map the setbacks before we quote, because a door location that works on paper may not work once the county reviews the survey. Call for a free estimate and we’ll tell you what fits.
If the work includes altering drainage patterns or adding a new rough opening, Pasco County may require a grading and drainage review before the building permit is issued. For replacement windows in existing openings, usually not. But if your lake-facing wall has a history of water intrusion at the sill line, we’ll want to address drainage at the rough opening whether or not the county asks for a plan. We’ll tell you what applies to your parcel when we scope the job.
Detached structures on the same parcel are still subject to the wind-borne debris requirements of the Florida Building Code, but the permitting path through Pasco County differs from a primary residence. An ADU with a kitchen and bath triggers residential code, while a shop or outbuilding falls under accessory structure standards. The glazing requirement is the same either way: impact-rated or approved shutters. We quote both structures on paper so you see the full scope before any permit is pulled.
It means the original aluminum frames have been shedding material for years, and the glazing tape has likely failed behind the glass. Before we set a new impact unit, we clean the rough opening, add new weep-hole covers, and install backer-rod sealing so the moisture path is cut off at the source. Skipping that step is how you get a new window that fogs in five years. It’s standard on every Moon Lake lakefront install we do.
