AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Franklin Park
Window installation in Franklin Park, FL means dealing with a very specific kind of house: concrete-block ranch homes built between the late 1950s and mid-1970s for Space Coast aerospace workers. Those homes are loaded with original single-pane aluminum sliders and jalousie windows that have spent fifty years in salt air and hurricane seasons. If you need replacements that actually pass a Brevard County wind-mitigation inspection, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 238-2201. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
We know Franklin Park because we work here regularly. Our crews understand what happens to a 1968 jalousie opening when you try to fit a code-compliant impact-rated unit into it. We plan for that before we touch the wall. That’s the difference between a job that goes sideways at inspection and a job that’s done right the first time.
Key Takeaways
- Every replacement window in Franklin Park must be hurricane impact-rated or shutter-protected per Florida Building Code because the community sits inside Brevard County’s windborne debris region.
- Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows on 1960s-70s ranch homes will fail a wind-mitigation inspection, which drives up insurance premiums until they’re replaced.
- Typical impact-rated window replacement in Franklin Park runs $850-$1,600 per opening installed, depending on size and framing condition.
- Free estimates include a jamb-framing inspection so you know what’s behind the old flange before we quote, not after.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Franklin Park’s Preferred Window Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and we’ve spent the years since building a reputation in Brevard County one reframe at a time. Our Franklin Park customers tend to be long-term homeowners who’ve been in their houses twenty or thirty years and plan to stay another twenty. They don’t want the cheapest bid. They want a company that will still answer the phone if something binds or fogs two years after the install. That’s us.
Every Franklin Park job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we come back. That’s the founding rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs how our installers set every sash and seal every flange. We also register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. You get paperwork that means something, not a verbal handshake you can’t enforce.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your Franklin Park home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. And when you call (754) 238-2201, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. A person who can schedule your estimate while you’re on the call.
Our Window Installation Services in Franklin Park
We install, replace, and service every style of window you find in Franklin Park, from the narrow sliders on original ranch homes to full-wall picture units on additions. Below are the four most common we handle in this area. Every estimate includes a jamb inspection because the framing behind a 1960s aluminum window is rarely clean.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse replacement for Franklin Park’s old jalousie and slider openings. They crank outward and seal tight against the frame, which matters when a hurricane band pushes sideways rain against your west-facing wall. We install fusion-welded impact-rated casements with low-E glass and argon fill, and we reframe the rough opening to code before we set the unit. Swapping a jalousie for a casement without reframing leaves a gap the inspector will flag. We don’t do that.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Franklin Park ranch homes often have a large fixed window in the living room facing the street or the back yard. Original versions are single-pane aluminum with zero impact rating and a visible salt haze on the glass. Replacing them with a code-compliant impact-rated picture window changes the room’s light and cuts heat transfer. Since fixed windows don’t open, framing condition matters even more. We inspect the header and jamb for termite dust, spalled concrete, and rot before we quote. That’s standard on every Franklin Park estimate.
Sliding Windows
The 1960s and 70s sliders found throughout Franklin Park are the worst offenders for air leakage and corrosion. Salt-laden Atlantic wind eats the uncoated aluminum tracks until the sash seizes. We install new impact-rated sliders with marine-grade stainless steel hardware specified in the contract, so the tracks don’t corrode shut within two seasons. For homes on Croton Road and the side streets running toward US-1, that hardware spec is the difference between a window that works and one that doesn’t.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung replacements are common in Franklin Park bedrooms and kitchens where homeowners want easier cleaning and better ventilation. Older ranch homes often have narrow vertical windows that don’t meet current egress requirements. When we replace them, we check the opening width against Brevard County code before we order the unit. If the old rough opening is too narrow, we reframe to spec and pull any permit amendment that triggers. No surprises that hit you after the wall is open.

Trusted Brands We Service in Franklin Park
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, ES Windows, and PGT. We quote side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying and what each line costs, not a verbal “trust me” number. For Franklin Park’s coastal conditions, we often recommend ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for their fusion-welded corners and corrosion-resistant hardware, and PGT for impact-rated units that carry strong Florida wind-mitigation documentation. We stock common parts for these lines locally, which means a warranty claim or follow-up service call moves faster for Franklin Park homeowners.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Franklin Park Homes
After years of working this specific housing stock, we know what’s behind the old frames before we pull them. Here’s what we see most often:
- Non-compliant jalousie openings. The original louvered windows on Florida rooms and carports are often six inches too narrow for a code-compliant impact-rated jamb. If someone slaps a smaller window into that hole, the inspector flags it, then the wall has to be reopened and the permit amended. We measure and plan for the reframe before the window is ordered.
- Corroded aluminum hardware. Uncoated aluminum screws and tracks from the original 1960s installs corrode badly in Franklin Park’s salt air. We specify stainless-steel and marine-grade hardware in every contract, so the new sash doesn’t seize shut the first humid summer.
- Compromised jamb framing. Hairline cracks under old aluminum frames often hide powderpost beetle damage or concrete spalling in the block. We add an explicit framing allowance line item to every estimate so the permit work once walls are open doesn’t become your surprise bill.
- Failed flashing and water intrusion. The original tar paper and flashing tape on 1960s ranch windows have long since separated. Water has been wicking into the jamb for years. We strip the opening back to sound material, reframe with pressure-treated lumber where needed, and flash with modern flexible membrane before the new unit goes in.
Pricing for Window Installation in Franklin Park, FL
Window installation in Franklin Park is priced per opening, and the range depends on what we find when we pull the old unit. A straightforward impact-rated single hung replacement in a clean opening typically runs $850-$1,200 per window, installed. Casement and picture window replacements run $1,100-$1,600 per opening because they almost always require reframing the jamb to current code width. If we have to restore termite-damaged framing or deal with spalled concrete block, the framing allowance line item covers it, priced and approved in writing before we touch the wall. You will never get a surprise add-on after the work is done. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a free estimate. We measure every opening twice and put the numbers on paper before you sign anything.

FAQs - Window Installation in Franklin Park
Yes. Brevard County enforces the Florida Building Code’s windborne debris requirements for Franklin Park, and the building department will not issue a final inspection pass for replacement windows that aren’t impact-rated or shutter-protected. If the old jalousie opening is too narrow for a code-compliant jamb and you shrink the window to avoid reframing, the inspector will flag it as non-compliant. We handle the reframe and permit amendment as part of the job. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll tell you exactly what your openings need before you order anything.
Yes, in almost every case. The jalousie openings are usually about six inches too narrow for an impact-rated jamb, so the wall studs on either side have to be cut back and the header extended to carry the new opening width. That’s a standard reframe, not a rebuild. We do it regularly on Franklin Park ranch homes. The key is pulling the permit with the reframe in the scope of work so the inspection covers it. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll inspect the Florida room opening and quote the reframe and replacement together.
For Franklin Park, the stricter number is the safer one. Brevard County sits in a high solar-heat-gain climate, and the 2023 Florida Building Code requires a maximum solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25 for replacement windows in most cases. But depending on your home’s orientation and the specific opening, 0.19 may be required to pass the energy portion of the permit. The contractor quoting 0.19 is likely reading the code more carefully. We spec every Franklin Park window to meet or beat the county’s current energy requirements and we put the SHGC and U-factor on the written quote, so you can compare numbers on paper. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want us to look at your specific quote.
It’s both, but it’s one we handle. Crumbling mortar behind an old window flange on a concrete block ranch home means the rough opening has lost structural bearing. The inspector will want to see the opening restored to sound material before the new window is set, so it becomes part of the permit scope. We carry an explicit framing allowance in every Franklin Park estimate because we expect to find this on 1970s block construction. The reframe gets priced and approved in writing before we do the work. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll add the allowance to your estimate so it’s never a surprise.
Yes, often by several hundred to over a thousand dollars a year, depending on your carrier and the current condition of your wind-mitigation inspection. On a Franklin Park ranch off Croton Road, we pulled an original 1968 single-pane aluminum slider and found the jamb full of termite dust and salt-crusted aluminum where the flashing had separated. After we reframed the opening with pressure-treated lumber and installed a fusion-welded impact-rated casement with low-E glass and argon fill, the homeowner cut their wind-mitigation premium by $900 after the final inspection. That’s a direct insurance reduction, not a general energy-saving guess. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on your six sliders, and we’ll tell you what the replacement does for your specific home’s wind-mitigation credits.
