AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Orlando
Impact window and door replacement in Orlando costs roughly $850 to $1,400 per opening installed for a standard CBS home, and most jobs run between two and five days once permits clear. We work across Orange County weekly, from Metrowest to Waterford Lakes to College Park, and a live person answers at (754) 238-2201 when you call. If you own one of the thousands of concrete block homes built here between 1978 and 2005, we know exactly what’s behind those old aluminum frames because we’ve opened hundreds of them.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Orlando’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We’re not the cheapest bid you’ll get in Orlando, and that’s by design. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews do the job to Florida Building Code the first time, with every Florida Product Approval number listed on the permit before the inspector ever shows up. Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 after watching out-of-state crews flood Central Florida after every named storm, underbid the local guys, and leave homeowners with stop-work orders and half-finished openings. That’s the problem we fix.
Our Orlando customers keep our number because we show up when we say, we wear uniforms, and we background-check every technician who walks through your door. Reviews from Orlando homeowners consistently mention the same three things: we measured twice, we quoted both manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and the inspector signed off the first visit. No callbacks to argue about. No warranty fights. The Done Right Promise means exactly what it says.
We stock common replacement parts and manufacturer-specific hardware for Orlando’s dominant housing stock: PGT, CGI, Ply Gem, and Simonton lines that dominate Orange County’s post-2002 code market. That means when your impact sliding door needs a roller or a threshold cap, we’re not waiting on a freight shipment from Georgia.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Orlando
Every opening we replace in Orlando is measured, quoted, and installed to the wind-load requirements printed on Orange County’s current wind-speed maps. Here’s what that means for the four jobs we do most often in this market.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Single-hung, casement, and picture-frame impact windows built to Florida Product Approval standards for inland Orange County. In Orlando’s CBS homes, that means tapcon masonry anchoring into the block, not nailing fins hammered into wood studs. Out-of-state crews miss this constantly, and it’s the single most common reason an Orange County inspector issues a correction notice. We set every unit with flashing tape and sealant rated for Orlando’s 54-plus inches of annual rainfall.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliders in Orlando’s older homes fail at the threshold first. Years of summer thunderstorm wind-driven rain finds the jamb sealant, works it loose, and then the track fills with water during the afternoon cycle. We replace the full unit, not just the panel, and we rebuild the threshold with proper flashing so water moves away from the interior flooring. If your 1980s slider binds in July, it’s usually a frame that’s settled out of square, and we correct the opening before we set the new door.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors in Orlando need impact-rated glass and a reinforced frame if they’re within a wind-borne debris zone, but honestly, most of what we replace here is the result of 20 years of thermal cycling. Wood frames rot at the bottom from constant humidity. Fiberglass and steel hold up better. We quote both options on paper so you see the actual price difference before you decide, and we handle the permit paperwork so the FL# is already on file when the inspector arrives.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening in most Orlando homes and the one homeowners forget about until a storm is tracking toward Tampa. We install braced, impact-rated garage doors that meet the same wind-load requirements as your windows. An unreinforced garage door that fails in a storm pressurizes the house and can lift the roof deck. That’s not a risk to take in Orange County’s thunderstorm cycle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Orlando
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, and we keep their most common impact window and door models in our Orlando supply rotation. If you need a single sash replaced or a sliding door roller swapped, we don’t have to special-order from a warehouse in Texas. When you want side-by-side quotes, we’ll put PGT and CGI numbers next to each other on the same sheet so you can see exactly what each product line costs installed in your Orlando home.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Orlando Homes
- Masonry-anchored windows installed with nailing fins by out-of-state crews. This triggers an immediate stop-work order from Orange County because the Florida Product Approval number doesn’t match the installation method. We fix it by pulling the unit, re-anchoring with tapcon screws into the block, and resubmitting the permit.
- Seal failure in original single-pane aluminum windows from the 1980s boom. Orlando’s summer thunderstorm cycle drives water into the frame channels, and after 15 to 20 years the insulated glass unit fogs and the argon fill is gone. The window still opens, but it’s no longer doing anything for your energy bill or your wind rating.
- Threshold leaks around impact sliding glass doors. Wind-driven rain finds missing jamb sealant or failed flashing tape, and water pools at the base of the track every afternoon from June through September. Over time this rots the subfloor and the sill framing, and the repair gets more expensive every season it’s left alone.
- Original jalousie windows still in place. Orlando’s older inventory includes plenty of jalousie or louvered windows that were never impact-rated and never will be. They leak air, they leak water, and they don’t come close to current code. Replacing them in a CBS wall requires the same masonry anchoring as any other opening, plus a fresh seal around the entire rough opening.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Orlando, FL
A typical impact window replacement in an Orlando CBS home runs $850 to $1,400 per opening installed, depending on the manufacturer, the size, and whether the rough opening needs correction. Impact sliding glass doors run $2,800 to $5,500 installed. Impact entry doors sit between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on glass package and frame material. Impact garage doors run $2,500 to $6,000. If you’re replacing original aluminum windows in a 1980s home, add roughly $150 to $300 per opening for sill repair and re-flashing, because the flashing tape on those original installs is almost always shot.
Yes, those numbers are higher than wood-frame markets. Masonry anchoring takes more labor, and the Florida Product Approval requirements mean you can’t just grab any unit off a shelf. We give you a written line-item quote before we start, and if the inspector requires something we didn’t budget for, we show you the cost in writing and get your approval before we touch it.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Orlando
Because Orange County enforces the Florida Building Code on every replacement window or door, even when the new unit is the same size as the old one. The permit requires a posted Florida Product Approval number for every unit, and the inspector verifies that the product is listed in the state’s approval database before signing off. Contractors licensed in other states routinely get stop-work orders here because they sourced products approved under different state codes. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want us to pull the permit and list every FL# on it before we start.
The anchoring method. In a wood-frame house, installers use nailing fins screwed into the studs. In a CBS home, the window gets fastened with tapcon masonry screws directly into the concrete block. Out-of-state crews who don’t know the difference install the wrong fastener, the inspector fails the rough opening, and the homeowner gets a stop-work order. We’ve been anchoring into Orlando block for 17 years and we do it the way Orange County expects.
Look for condensation between the panes that won’t wipe off, a cloudy or fogged appearance in the center of the glass, or a visible gap in the seal around the frame. On original aluminum windows from the 1980s, seal failure usually shows up after 15 to 20 years because Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorm cycle drives water into the frame channels and breaks the sealant down. If your windows fog every morning between June and September, the argon fill is gone and the unit isn’t doing its job. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.
No, Orlando sits far enough inland that Orange County wind-speed maps require lower design-pressure ratings than Miami-Dade, but you still need a Florida Product Approval number on every unit and a posted permit for the work. The inspector verifies both. Our crews know exactly what rating your Orlando home requires based on its location and exposure, and we quote to that standard, not some blanket spec that oversells you on glass you don’t need.
Rotted sill framing, missing jamb sealant, and anchor channels that are undersized for modern tapcon fasteners. Our crew opened up a 1987 Metrowest CBS home a few years back where two original jalousie windows had been leaking through the sill framing for years. The block was solid but the anchor channels were undersized. We used tapcon masonry screws into the block, added flashing tape around the new fusion-welded Simonton casement frames, and the Orange County inspector signed off the same day because every unit’s Florida Product Approval number was already listed on the posted permit. That’s what the job looks like when it’s done right. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on your home.
