If you live in Fairview Shores, you’ve probably noticed it already: that louvered jalousie window on the porch that rattles every time a thunderstorm rolls through, or the sliding door that sticks in July. This is a post-war community built mostly in the 1950s through the 1970s, and the original windows and doors in these concrete block homes have outlived their usefulness by a wide margin. TruePane Windows & Doors serves Fairview Shores with honest measurements, manufacturer-backed products, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree.

Why Fairview Shores Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Over years in this trade teaches you the difference between a window that looks fine from the street and one that’s quietly failing. Fairview Shores homeowners call us because we take that difference seriously. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule governs how our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
We’ve worked on homes throughout Fairview Shores, from the blocks off Edgewater Drive to the quieter streets near Lake Fairview itself. Homeowners here tend to stay put for decades, and they want a window or door company that plans to be around just as long. We hire locally, train apprentices into journeymen, and stand behind our work with a 90-day guarantee and no paperwork fights. That’s the square deal we bring to every Fairview Shores job.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Fairview Shores
Window Installation
New window installation starts with measuring the actual rough opening, not trusting the old frame. In Fairview Shores, that matters more than in newer subdivisions because concrete block walls don’t forgive a mismeasure. We install manufacturer lines including Andersen with written warranty registration on the day of completion.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Fairview Shores.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and patio sliders all sit in openings that have shifted over 50 or 60 years of Florida heat and settling. We set doors square and true the first time, which is why Fairview Shores homeowners call us instead of a handyman. Every door install carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Window Replacement
Replacing a jalousie window or a single-pane aluminum unit with modern impact-rated glass changes how a Fairview Shores house performs in the afternoon heat and the hurricane season. We handle full-frame tear-outs, not just insert replacements, so the new unit meets current Florida Building Code wind-load ratings. Permits flow through Orange County, and we pull them.

Impact Windows & Doors
Fairview Shores sits in Central Florida’s high-velocity hurricane zone threshold, which means replacement windows and doors must meet product-approval wind-load ratings even on interior-county parcels. We install PGT and CGI impact-rated lines that meet Florida Building Code requirements. You’ll see the product approval numbers on your written quote, not buried in a sales pitch.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Lake Fairview’s humidity stresses window seals faster than inland neighborhoods a few miles east. Low-E glass and properly sealed frames from ES Windows cut AC load and keep moisture where it belongs: outside. We’ll show you efficiency ratings in writing before you sign anything.
Sliding & Patio Doors
A sliding glass door that binds in July is a door that was never set level. Fairview Shores slabs settle, and we correct for that before the first screw goes in. We replace rollers, tracks, and full units where the original door is beyond saving.
Glass Railing Systems
For lake-view homes along the Fairview Shores shoreline, glass railing systems open sightlines without sacrificing safety. We fabricate and install railings that handle Florida’s sun exposure and salt-air humidity without clouding or pitting the hardware.
Custom Windows & Doors
Older Fairview Shores homes frequently have non-standard rough openings that off-the-shelf sizes won’t fit properly. We order custom-sized units built for the actual opening, not shimmed and foamed into submission. The result is a cleaner install and a warranty that actually applies.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fairview Shores

Why Fairview Shores’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
The homes in Fairview Shores were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and most of them are single-story concrete block ranch homes. That construction type means the rough openings are rarely standard dimensions by today’s lumberyard standards. An installer who doesn’t measure every opening twice and order accordingly ends up with gaps, bowing frames, and a warranty that the manufacturer won’t honor. We measure the actual opening and special-order when needed.
Now add the lake effect. Fairview Shores sits directly on Lake Fairview, and that proximity drives higher ambient humidity into aluminum frames and insulated glass units. Seal failure shows up faster here than in comparable inland neighborhoods a few miles east. Technicians on water-facing streets routinely find aluminum frames that have corroded through behind a fogged seal. What looked like a simple IGU swap becomes a full-frame tear-out, an Orange County permit, and an inspection. We handle that entire process, including the permit and the inspection, so you don’t have to manage the county’s timeline on your own.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Fairview Shores
Full-frame impact-rated window replacement in Fairview Shores typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, while insert units run $450 to $850. Concrete block construction and non-standard rough openings push some jobs toward the higher end because of custom sizing. Call (813) 320-9346 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes. Fairview Shores is unincorporated Orange County, so all window and door replacement permits flow through the Orange County Building Division, not the City of Orlando. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection. The Florida Building Code wind-load requirements apply to replacement windows and doors here, even on non-coastal parcels.
Lake-effect humidity accelerates seal failure in insulated glass units. Air near Lake Fairview carries more moisture than air inland, and that moisture works into window seals faster than it would a few miles east. We often find that a foggy window on a lake-facing elevation actually has a frame that has corroded through, which means a full-frame replacement rather than a simple IGU swap.
No. Our quotes are fixed and line-item. If we open up a wall and find rot or water damage that was hidden, we stop and show you what we found before any additional work is priced. You approve the change in writing before we proceed. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship, and both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
Yes. Jalousie windows are common in Fairview Shores homes from the 1950s and 1960s, particularly on screened porches and secondary rooms. We convert those openings to fixed or operating impact-rated units that meet current Florida Building Code standards. The conversion usually requires a full-frame replacement and an Orange County permit, both of which we handle.
If you’re ready to fix the windows or doors on your Fairview Shores home, call (813) 320-9346. We’ll schedule a free estimate, measure your openings, and hand you a written line-item quote. A live person answers. No phone trees, no forms, no waiting three days for a callback.

What Fairview Shores Customers Say
"A casement crank had stripped and the sash was swollen shut. The technician, Ray, fixed the crank on the spot and only then talked about replacement for the three windows that were genuinely done. That is why the whole street uses them now."
- Eleanor G."Eleven windows replaced in two days. The crew chief, Marcus, showed me the level on every single frame before they caulked it. My wife noticed the street noise was gone before I did."
- Ronald P."Whole-house window replacement at 71 years old is not something you want to do twice. Dale walked the house himself for the quote. Crew was the same three men all four days, and the foreman knew every window by room."
- Pat and Ray L.
