We’ve worked Hunters Creek long enough to know the review process here better than most contractors working the Orlando metro.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Hunters Creek is a different animal from most of the Orlando metro. The Hunters Creek Community Association architectural review is not a rubber stamp. We’ve sat through enough of those submissions to know what the committee flags: non-matching stucco returns, frame colors that drift from the approved palette, louver styles that look right at Home Depot but wrong on a 1990s stucco-over-frame colonial. TruePane has been doing this since 2008, founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the standard we hold in Hunters Creek is the same one Dale keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our reputation in Hunters Creek comes from the jobs where the HOA packet went through clean on the first pass. Homeowners here talk. They know which contractors file complete submittals and which ones leave a wall open for three weeks waiting on a committee. We file the packet, we schedule tear-out only after approval clears, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s non-negotiable.
Dale Kessler built this company to be the last call a homeowner needs to make. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and keep a live person on the phone 24 hours a day. No voicemail tree. When a Hunters Creek homeowner calls about a fogged sliding door on a pond lot, they get an answer, not a callback form.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Hunters Creek
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Hunters Creek homes were built between the late 1980s and early 2000s, before the 2002 Florida Building Code tightened impact-resistance requirements. The original aluminum single- and double-pane windows are now hitting 25-35 years of age simultaneously across hundreds of nearly identical homes. We replace them with impact-rated units that meet Orange County’s wind-load ratings and pass the Hunters Creek Community Association’s architectural standards on the first submittal. You don’t have to guess what the committee will approve. We know.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
This is the job we do most often in Hunters Creek, and for a specific reason. The community’s network of retention ponds and lakes creates elevated localized humidity along rear-facing elevations. Sliding glass door thresholds on water-view lots fail years before the same door models on interior lots. We see rotted sill pans and blown insulated-glass seals on pond lots in Osprey Lakes, Heritage Bay, and The Enclave. On one lake-facing home in Osprey Lakes, we replaced an original aluminum slider with a ViewLux impact-rated unit after the IGU seal failed and the sill pan rotted through from pond-side moisture. We filed the HOA submittal with matching stucco trim and factory-finished white jamb, then scheduled tear-out only after architectural approval cleared. The wall was never open waiting on a committee.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors in Hunters Creek take a double load: hurricane wind pressure during storm season and intense UV exposure year-round. The original builders’ grade steel and fiberglass doors from the 1990s have weathered two decades of Central Florida sun. We install impact-rated entry and French door systems from manufacturers like Andersen and ES Windows, with side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Every opening gets measured twice. Every door gets set square and true.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the largest opening on most Hunters Creek homes and the one most people overlook until a storm cycles through. If the garage door fails, wind pressure gets into the structure and blows out everything behind it. We install and brace impact-rated garage door systems to Orange County’s current wind-load standards, and we handle the architectural review submittal for the door and any track hardware changes the committee wants to see.

Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames on stucco-over-frame homes. The original 1990s aluminum frames in Hunters Creek corrode at fasteners where stucco surrounds trap moisture, especially on lake-facing elevations. Sash removal on these frames is prone to crumbling, which means a simple glass swap often turns into a full frame replacement.
- Failed sliding glass door thresholds on pond lots. Rear sliders on water-view lots in subdivisions like Osprey Lakes and The Enclave seal-fail and rot years before interior lots in the same neighborhood. Pond-side humidity is that concentrated. Full pan replacement is usually the only fix.
- Windows rejected at final inspection for missing wind-load ratings. Even if the Hunters Creek Community Association approves a replacement style, Orange County final inspection will reject any window that doesn’t carry the required wind-load rating. That means the job gets done twice: once wrong, once right. We file specs that pass both reviews the first time.
- HOA submittal packets that stall the project. Incomplete architectural review packets are the biggest scheduling killer in Hunters Creek. Missing details on stucco return, frame color, or louver style send the packet back and add two or three weeks to the calendar while your wall sits half-finished. We build the packet right the first time.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Hunters Creek
Yes. Hunters Creek is one of the only communities in the Orlando metro where every window replacement requires both an Orange County building permit and Hunters Creek Community Association architectural review. You cannot skip the HOA step. The committee reviews frame color, stucco return, louver style, and material against the community’s architectural standards, and their approval is required before Orange County will sign off on the final inspection. We file the full submittal packet for you, including manufacturer cut sheets and finish samples. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through what the committee looks for.
Plan on two to three extra weeks. The Hunters Creek Community Association architectural review typically takes 14-21 days from complete submittal to approval letter. That’s on top of Orange County permit turnaround. We schedule around it: we measure, we file the packet, we order materials so they’re staged and ready, and we don’t tear out a single window until the approval letter is in hand. The job site never sits open waiting on a committee vote. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your street.
It’s more common than homeowners expect. The retention ponds and lakes that run through Hunters Creek create elevated localized humidity along rear-facing elevations. Sliding glass door thresholds on pond lots seal-fail and rot years before the same doors on interior lots. Fogged glass means the insulated glass unit seal has already failed. A soft threshold usually means the sill pan underneath has begun to rot. On pond-side homes, full pan replacement is almost always the fix, not a glass-only swap. Call (813) 320-9346 for an inspection and a written quote.
Hunters Creek limits what’s allowed. The architectural review committee enforces a specific palette of frame colors, stucco return profiles, and louver styles that keep the community’s original master-planned look intact. You cannot install any window you want. What you can do is bring us the styles you like, and we’ll tell you which ones clear the committee and which ones get sent back. We’ve filed enough Hunters Creek submittals to know the difference on sight. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll review your street’s architecture before you spend money on a window the committee won’t approve.
Yes. Orange County’s minimum wind-load ratings apply to every replacement window regardless of how far inland Hunters Creek sits. The pre-2002 construction era that built most of Hunters Creek predates those requirements, so original windows don’t carry the ratings that replacements must meet. If you install a non-impact window without the required wind-load rating, Orange County final inspection will reject it, even if the HOA approved the style. That means the job gets done twice. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll quote you an impact-rated setup that passes both reviews the first time.
