AfterWindows & Doors Services in Longwood, FL
If you’re calling about windows or doors in Longwood, you’re probably dealing with one of two situations: a home in the historic district that needs period-correct replacements, or a 1970s-1990s block home where original aluminum frames have finally given out to Florida humidity. Either way, we can help. TruePane Windows & Doors serves Longwood with a live person answering the phone at (813) 320-9346, 24 hours a day. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

Why Longwood Homeowners Choose TruePane Windows & Doors
Longwood is not like the rest of the I-4 corridor, and we treat it that way. In neighborhoods like Sanlando Springs and Alaqua, we see everything from 1980s ranch homes with original jalousie windows to high-end custom builds that need oversized sliding glass walls. We work the same way in both: measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s been the backbone of every job we’ve done through years of community-rooted service.
Our installers are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s house. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship on every project, in writing, with no fine print that covers neither. When a Longwood homeowner calls us back, it’s usually to schedule another job, not to argue about the last one.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Longwood
Window Installation
New construction or retrofit, standard or custom, we set windows true and level in every opening. Longwood’s mix of historic and tract housing means we spec different installation methods for different streets, not one method for every house.
Learn more about our Window Installation in Longwood.
Door Installation
Entry doors, French doors, and patio doors that open cleanly in July and seal tight in September. We handle hurricane-rated door systems and standard replacements with the same attention to plumb and reveal.

Window Replacement
Fogged seals, chalked vinyl, aluminum frames that sweat and corrode after four decades of Central Florida humidity. We replace all of it with windows rated for Seminole County’s design pressure requirements.

Impact Windows & Doors
Code-compliant impact systems tested for hurricane wind loads, even on inland properties. Longwood may not be on the coast, but the wind-speed ratings still matter every season.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass, proper low-conductance frames, and tight installation that actually performs in Longwood’s UV-heavy climate. A window’s energy rating is only as good as the air sealing around it.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Rollers wear out, tracks fill with Florida grit, and frames that once slid now stick. We repair and replace sliding glass doors, including multi-panel configurations for pool decks and lanai access.
Glass Railing Systems
Frameless and semi-frameless glass railings built to code, tempered for safety, and anchored for hurricane season. We serve Longwood homeowners who want a clear sightline without sacrificing structural integrity.
Custom Windows & Doors
Odd rough openings, historic profiles, oversized fixed glass, specialty shapes. We order exactly what the opening calls for, from manufacturers including Andersen, ES Windows.

Why Longwood’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Longwood’s housing stock splits sharply. The registered historic district holds Victorian and Craftsman homes from the 1880s through the 1910s, where window replacement requires review and approval by the Longwood Historic Preservation Board. That means period-accurate profiles, often true or simulated divided-light sashes in custom-ordered wood or clad-wood. A few miles west, the 1970s-1990s CBS ranch homes still carry original aluminum single-pane sliders and jalousie panels that are energy-deficient and structurally degraded after 40 to 50 years of Florida humidity. We routinely find openings that were never flashed correctly, with water staining inside the wall cavity that didn’t show until the old window came out.
Central Florida’s UV intensity, year-round humidity, and hurricane-season wind loads shorten the service life of aluminum and vinyl frames faster than most manufacturers’ warranty tables assume. Every replacement window we install in Longwood meets Seminole County’s adopted Florida Building Code design pressure ratings. On historic-district jobs, that code compliance layers on top of preservation-board approval, making the spec a dual-permit challenge that most out-of-area window companies don’t flag until after the permit is pulled. We flag it at the first measure.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Longwood
Honest numbers, no change orders. Standard mid-range vinyl replacement windows in Longwood typically run $600 to $1,100 per window installed, depending on size, opening condition, and current frame state. Impact-rated windows add roughly 35 to 55 percent per unit. A custom wood double-hung spec’d for Longwood Historic District approval can run $2,400 to $4,200 per opening once the divided-light pattern, preservation-board review, and dual-permit process are accounted for. Entry door replacements start around $1,600 for a quality insulated steel or fiberglass door, and sliding patio door systems typically land between $2,500 and $6,500 installed, depending on width and impact rating. We offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, a free written repair estimate, and a maintenance check. Dale Kessler has always run on upfront pricing, written line-item quotes, and no surprise line items on the bill.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Longwood
Standard vinyl replacement windows in Longwood typically run $600 to $1,100 per window installed, while historic-district approved custom wood double-hungs run $2,400 to $4,200 per opening. Impact glass adds 35 to 55 percent. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free written estimate with line-item pricing on paper.
No, and that’s not a small thing. We quote the full scope after measuring every opening twice, and we write it down. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means no arguing and no change orders unless you add scope. Call (813) 320-9346 to see what a firm quote looks like.
Yes, we pull all required permits, including the dual review through the Longwood Historic Preservation Board where applicable. We handle the paperwork and pass inspection before we call the job complete.
Most standard replacements are completed in a single visit. Custom orders for preserved openings, specialty shapes, or impact-rated systems carry longer lead times because they’re manufactured to spec, not pulled off a shelf. We tell you the timeline before the order goes in.
Yes. We work with the Longwood Historic Preservation Board regularly, spec true or simulated divided-light patterns that meet period-accuracy requirements, and coordinate the preserve review alongside code permitting. The spec is different from a standard vinyl retrofit, and the lead time and cost reflect that. Call (813) 320-9346 to discuss your street’s requirements. Estimates are free.

What Longwood Customers Say
"Our bay window had rotted at the sill and two other outfits wanted to talk us into a flat picture window instead. TruePane rebuilt the opening and matched the original look. Neighbors have knocked on the door about it."
- Gene A."Quote was the price, which after three other bids that grew legs was worth something. Double-hungs went in clean, they hauled the old ones, and the registration paperwork for the warranty came in the mail like they said."
- Dorothy K."French doors to the patio, custom size because this house was built in 1961 and nothing is standard. Measured twice, three weeks to fabricate like they warned, and the install day they laid runners over my floors without being asked."
- Marie S.
