AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Union Park
Window replacement in Union Park usually costs between $550 and $1,450 per opening for insert work, and $950 to $2,600 per opening when full-frame replacement is required. Most Union Park homes we see are 1970s and 1980s concrete block ranches with original single-pane aluminum frames that long ago stopped meeting Florida Building Code. We work in Union Park every week, and our crews know exactly what those walls hide before the first screw comes out. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll give you a straight answer on scope and price.
At TruePane Windows & Doors, we have spent years opening up Union Park walls, and what we find rarely surprises us anymore. What does surprise homeowners is how much a simple window swap can snowball once a permit is pulled. That is why we walk every Union Park job with an inspection first and a written scope second.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We have replaced windows in enough Union Park homes to know the difference between a clean insert job on a 1985 ranch off Dean Road and a full-frame teardown on a 1974 CBS with corroded jalousies. That local pattern recognition is the whole ballgame. Homeowners in Union Park call us because we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway, and do not disappear when a permit triggers more work than expected.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule that still sits on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule carries through every Window Replacement job we take in Union Park, whether it is one bedroom window or a full Florida room re-window. We are not the cheapest bid you will get, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we are is the last call you should need to make.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and the other manufacturer lines on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying. And when something is not right, we come back under the Done Right Promise, with no paperwork fights and no arguing. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree.
Our Window Replacement Services in Union Park
Full Frame Replacement
Full-frame replacement is the service Union Park’s older CBS ranch homes need most often. The original aluminum frames in these houses are set directly into block openings, and after 40-plus years of humidity and convective storm cycles, the waterproofing behind them is gone. We pull the old frame, inspect the rough opening, replace rotted wood bucks and sub-sills, then set, flash, and trim the new unit. In Union Park, a full-frame replacement on a standard 36-by-60 window runs $950 to $2,600 depending on the manufacturer line and whether impact-rated glazing is required.
Insert Window Replacement
When the original frame is still square and the surrounding block is dry, an insert replacement is the tidy answer. We install a new energy-efficient unit inside the existing frame, trim it out, and seal it properly. In Union Park, inserts typically run $550 to $1,450 per opening for standard double-hung or slider configurations. But be straight with yourself: many original Union Park aluminum frames are not good candidates for inserts because wind-driven rain has already compromised the seal behind them. We will tell you honestly if an insert will hold.
Storm Window Replacement
Union Park sits inland in Orange County, so there is no coastal buffer when afternoon storms roll in from June through September. Those convective storms drive rain sideways into failing aluminum frame seals. Storm window replacement here means installing units that can take that wind load: impact-rated glass, reinforced frames, and proper flashing. For Union Park homeowners, this is not a seasonal luxury. It is the difference between a dry wall and a water stain spreading behind the drywall.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Most Union Park homes still have original single-pane aluminum windows. That means high summer cooling bills and rooms that never quite drop below 78 degrees in August. An energy-efficient upgrade to low-E glass with argon fill typically cuts solar heat gain by 30 to 50 percent in these concrete block homes. In Union Park, a full-house energy upgrade on a three-bedroom ranch generally falls between $9,000 and $22,000 depending on window count, frame condition, and whether you choose impact-rated or standard low-E. We quote Andersen, Marvin, ES Windows, and other lines side by side so you can see the price difference in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Union Park homeowners we regularly quote, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems side by side on paper. That matters because an older CBS ranch has specific flashing and rough-opening conditions that some brands handle better than others. When a Union Park job calls for impact-rated glass with specific wind-load documentation, we make sure the manufacturer line matches the opening, not the other way around. We do not push one brand. We show you the numbers and the warranty durations in writing, then let you decide. Both warranty layers get registered before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Union Park Homes
- Jalousie windows that cannot pass code. Union Park’s Florida rooms and carport enclosures from the 1970s and 1980s are full of louvered jalousie windows. Orange County inspectors will not pass these on any permitted window or door project because they cannot meet wind-load requirements. What a homeowner calls a one-window job routinely becomes a full enclosure re-window once the permit is opened.
- Wind-driven rain behind failed aluminum seals. Inland Union Park gets no coastal buffer. Summer convective storms punch rain directly into deteriorating aluminum frames, and that water travels inside concrete block walls. By the time you see a stain, the wood buck behind the window is already swelling or rotting.
- Fogged glass in original single-pane sliders. Homeowners occasionally try to retrofit old aluminum frames with replacement glass. The seal fails, fog appears between panes, and the unit still does not meet post-2004 energy or impact codes. In Union Park, the honest fix is almost always a new unit in a new or repaired frame.
- Rotted wood jambs and sub-sills hidden behind sliders. Union Park’s year-round humidity rots wood door jambs and window sub-sills. We regularly open a wall for what looks like a simple slider replacement and find the sub-sill is gone. That changes the scope, and we handle it with a written change order before we touch anything.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Union Park, FL
A typical insert window replacement in Union Park runs $550 to $1,450 per opening. Full-frame replacement with new flashing and a repaired rough opening runs $950 to $2,600 per opening. A standard three-bedroom ranch with 12 to 15 windows and a Florida room usually lands between $11,000 and $28,000 for the full job, depending on manufacturer line, impact-rating requirements, and how much framing repair the block walls need once we open them. The single biggest cost driver in Union Park is what the permit triggers: if we find jalousies that cannot pass code or rotted sub-sills behind sliders, that scope gets priced in writing and approved by you before we proceed. We never start surprise work without a signed change order. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on your Union Park home.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Union Park
A permit for one window triggers replacement of all Florida room jalousie windows in Union Park because Orange County inspectors will not pass louvered jalousie units on any permitted project. Jalousies cannot be brought into wind-load compliance under post-2004 Florida Building Code. Once the permit is open and the inspector sees the enclosure, every jalousie in that structure is on the record. We write that scope into the estimate up front so you are not surprised at inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk your Florida room before any paperwork is filed.
Concrete block ranch walls in Union Park affect window replacement because there is no wood stud cavity to shim and level against. The window sits in a masonry rough opening, often with a wood buck that has been absorbing humidity for 40 years. We check the buck for rot, check the surrounding block for moisture, and set the new frame with proper flashing tape and sealant rated for masonry. It is slower and more careful work than a wood-framed home, and it is why Union Park full-frame jobs cost more than inserts on newer construction.
Replacement windows in Union Park must meet the wind-load and impact requirements in the Florida Building Code that took effect after the 2004 hurricane season. For inland Orange County, that generally means either impact-rated glazing or, in some cases, code-approved shutters, with wind-load documentation based on the home’s exposure category. Your original single-pane aluminum windows almost certainly do not meet current requirements. We pull the permit, we order units with the right design pressure ratings, and we provide the documentation the inspector asks for.
In most Union Park homes, replacing only the glass in an original aluminum slider is a waste of money because the frame is part of the problem. The aluminum channels are corroded, the seal design is obsolete, and the unit still will not meet current wind-load or energy code. You end up with new glass in an old frame that fails again. The honest answer in Union Park is that a new energy-efficient replacement unit costs more up front and works for decades. Call (754) 238-2201 for a straight quote.
Opening up a 1970s Union Park home usually reveals one or more of these: rotted wood sub-sills behind sliders, corroded aluminum jalousie frames in Florida rooms, failed flashing that has let water into the block wall, and occasionally outdated wiring or framing that was not done to current code. We document all of it, price it in a written change order, and get your approval before we touch anything. That is how a square deal works. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and a straight read on what your house is likely hiding.
If you have been putting off window replacement because you suspect what is behind those old aluminum frames, call TruePane Windows & Doors at (754) 238-2201. We serve Union Park every week, we know these houses, and we will give you a written estimate that covers the scope honestly from the first visit.
