AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Edgewood
Window installation in Edgewood is rarely a simple sash swap. The city’s post-war concrete block homes usually hide rotted wood bucks, missing flashing, and original aluminum frames that no longer meet Florida wind-load code. TruePane Windows & Doors handles these retrofits every week, and we quote them honestly: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before a single fastener comes out. Call (813) 320-9346 and you’ll reach a live person who can schedule a free estimate for your Edgewood home.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Edgewood sits inside the FAA’s 65 DNL noise contour for Orlando International Airport. That one fact changes how we quote windows here. When a homeowner near Lake Avenue or Hansel Avenue asks about glass, the first question is usually about sound, not energy bills. We’ve measured, specified, and installed enough STC-rated units in Edgewood to know which manufacturer lines actually deliver the numbers they advertise. That local experience matters more than a franchise playbook.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Edgewood homeowners call us because they’ve been burned before. They remember the contractor who left a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. They’re not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want a company that answers the phone and stands behind the work. That’s the standard we’ve kept since 2008 of community service, and it applies to every Window Installation we do in Edgewood.
Our Window Installation Services in Edgewood
Most Edgewood homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s as concrete block ranches with original aluminum single-pane or jalousie windows. Those frames are energy-inefficient, loud, and non-compliant with current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. Every job we do here is a retrofit replacement, not new construction. These are the four window types we install most often in Edgewood.
Single & Double Hung Windows
The double-hung is the workhorse replacement for Edgewood ranch homes. Original aluminum single-hungs from the 1960s have worn balances, bent tracks, and single-pane glass that does almost nothing against MCO departure noise. We set new double-hungs with dual-pane laminated glass, argon fill, and low-E coatings, and we flash every opening the way it should have been done sixty years ago. A typical double-hung replacement in Edgewood runs $650-$1,200 per opening, installed, depending on glass package and frame material.
Casement Windows
Casement windows seal tighter than double-hungs because the sash compresses against weatherstripping when cranked shut. For Edgewood homeowners chasing an STC rating of 35 or higher, a quality casement with laminated glass is often the most cost-effective path. We install Simonton and PGT casements regularly here, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Expect $800-$1,400 per window in Edgewood’s market, with impact-rated glass pushing toward the upper end.
Fixed & Picture Windows
A fixed window is the best acoustic performer in any line because it has no moving parts to leak sound. On Edgewood homes where the front elevation faces the flight path, we often replace a large picture window with a dual-pane or triple-pane laminated unit that cuts noise dramatically. Fixed windows are also the most affordable replacement option, typically $500-$1,100 per opening in Edgewood, including trim and flashing. The catch is they don’t open, so we plan ventilation with adjacent operable units when needed.
We also install awning windows, sliding windows, and bay or bow configurations across Edgewood. Awning units work well in Florida’s afternoon rain because they can stay open for ventilation while shedding water away from the opening. Whatever the style, the approach is the same: measure twice, quote plainly, flash correctly, register both warranty layers before we leave.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edgewood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we stock parts for the brands Edgewood homeowners are most likely to have. PGT and CGI impact-rated lines are common here because of Orange County’s wind-borne debris requirements. Simonton and Ply Gem offer solid mid-range options for homeowners who want code compliance and noise reduction without the full hurricane package. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You see the price difference, the glass difference, and the warranty difference before you spend a dollar. Our Keystone Standard means both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- Rotted wood bucks and missing flashing. Concrete block openings from the 1960s were rarely flashed correctly. Water gets behind the frame, rots the wood buck, and spreads into the jamb before you ever see a stain on the drywall. We find this on most Edgewood retrofits, and we price the repair and reflash into the quote up front.
- Original frames that trigger a full code upgrade. Jalousie and aluminum single-pane frames don’t meet Florida Product Approval standards for impact or wind load. Once the wall is open, the permit requires the replacement to comply. That’s not a contractor upselling you. It’s Orange County code. We handle the permitting and product selection so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
- Failed insulated glass units. Edgewood’s UV exposure and year-round humidity accelerate seal failure in cheap IGUs. Fog between the panes means the argon is gone and thermal performance has dropped to nearly nothing. You can replace the sash on some lines, but on original aluminum frames the better money is usually a full replacement with a quality spacer and gas fill.
- Acoustic underperformance from standard glass. A dual-pane window is not automatically an acoustic window. If you want relief from MCO flight noise, the spec matters: laminated glass, proper air gap, and an STC rating of 35 or higher. We quote these packages specifically for Edgewood homeowners.

FAQs - Window Installation in Edgewood
Because Edgewood sits inside the FAA’s 65 DNL noise contour for Orlando International Airport. Portions of the city fall within a noise zone where acoustic performance is a real, measurable issue. The FAA’s noise contour maps place parts of Edgewood inside the 65 DNL boundary, and some residents have participated in airport noise insulation programs that set a high local benchmark. As a result, Edgewood contractors routinely quote windows with STC ratings of 35 or higher, while a quote in Kissimmee or Sanford rarely mentions acoustic performance at all. When you see STC on a bid, it means the contractor knows the area. Call (813) 320-9346 for a quote that addresses MCO noise directly.
Once a window is removed and the opening is exposed, Orange County code requires the replacement to meet current Florida Product Approval standards. For Edgewood homes in the county’s wind-borne debris region, that typically means impact-rated glazing or a code-compliant shutter system paired with a non-impact window. Original 1960s aluminum frames don’t meet this standard, so the upgrade is mandatory, not optional. The opening may also need new flashing and, in many cases, repair of the wood buck. We pull permits, pass inspections, and price all of this into the contract before work starts. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your address triggers.
We inspect first, before we ever write a contract. If we suspect water damage behind a window, we probe the opening during the estimate. What we find gets priced into the quote as a line item. If something else turns up once the frame is out, it’s handled as a written change order with a specific dollar figure attached. You approve it before we touch it. Nothing gets added to the bill without your signature. That’s the standard Dale Kessler set in 2008, and it hasn’t moved. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free inspection and estimate.
A standard dual-pane window with two pieces of regular glass and an air gap will reduce some noise, but it won’t solve MCO flight path noise. A true acoustic window uses laminated glass, which is two panes bonded to a sound-dampening interlayer, plus a wider air gap and sometimes a third pane. That combination can push an STC rating from the high 20s to 35 or higher. On a concrete block ranch near Lake Avenue, our crew replaced original aluminum single-hungs with dual-pane laminated glass at STC 38, and the difference in the room was immediately noticeable. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll spec the right glass package for your exposure.
In most Edgewood homes with original 1960s aluminum frames, you need a full replacement. The frames were never flashed correctly, the glazing channel holds single-pane glass, and the unit doesn’t meet current wind-load or impact requirements. Even if you could find a replacement sash, the frame itself is the weak point, and the code upgrade would still apply to the opening. Full replacement also lets us correct the flashing and seal the rough opening properly. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll tell you honestly whether a sash swap makes sense on your specific windows.
