Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’ve worked enough Union Park homes to know the houses off Dean Road, the ranch clusters near University Boulevard, and the older neighborhoods feeding into Little Econ Greenway all share the same bones: concrete block walls, original aluminum frames, and jalousie glass that has not met code since the Clinton administration. Dale Kessler started this company in 2008 to fix exactly what Union Park homeowners call us about: out-of-true installs that other contractors walked away from, and warranties that vanished when the truck left. The Keystone Standard is how we close that gap. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before we pull out of your driveway.

Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see what you’re buying and what it costs. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how a company that plans to be in Union Park in thirty years runs itself. The Done Right Promise backs every install: if it’s not right, we make it right, with no paperwork fight and no fine print that covers neither.

Our Window Replacement Services in Union Park

Full Frame Replacement

For Union Park’s CBS block construction, full frame replacement is often the only option that actually fixes the problem. We see original aluminum frames so corroded at the jamb that an insert simply won’t seat cleanly. A full frame replacement in Union Park runs $850-$1,450 per window depending on size and glass package, and it lets us flash the rough opening properly against Florida’s humidity. On block walls, that flashing detail is the difference between a window that sheds water and one that molds the drywall return inside two rainy seasons.

Insert Window Replacement

If the existing frame is square, sound, and free of corrosion, an insert replacement drops into the existing opening without tearing out trim or disturbing stucco. In Union Park, this typically runs $450-$900 per window. We measure every opening twice before ordering, because a 1970s CBS opening is rarely true after fifty years of settling. Inserts work well on ranch homes where the interior trim is original and you’d rather not open up walls. But if there’s any salt-air pitting on the aluminum frame, we’ll tell you straight: an insert won’t fix the root problem, and you’ll be back in the same spot within a decade.

Storm Window Replacement

Storm windows matter in Union Park differently than they do on the coast. You’re inland, but Orange County still enforces Florida Building Code wind-load compliance on every replacement window. A storm window replacement in Union Park runs $700-$1,200 per opening, and we spec product approvals at permit submission so the Orange County Building Division doesn’t kick the packet back. The inland heat island around Orlando also means summer humidity attacks seals year-round. We recommend laminated or impact-rated glass where the home has large west-facing exposures off Alafaya Trail, and we’ll show you the SHGC numbers on paper.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Here’s what we measure on Union Park homes: original single-pane aluminum windows running a U-factor around 1.0 to 1.2, against today’s Florida code ceiling of 0.65. That’s an enormous heat gain, and it’s why the AC never stops from June through September. An energy-efficient upgrade in Union Park runs $600-$1,300 per window depending on frame and glass package. We spec double-pane low-E glass with argon fill, fusion-welded frames, and U-factors under 0.30 where the budget allows. The utility savings are real, but the comfort difference is what you’ll notice the first August afternoon.

Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Union Park jobs we lean toward, PGT, and CGI because their product approvals are already on file with Orange County Building Division, which keeps the permit packet moving. That’s a specific, practical advantage: pre-approved product documentation means the inspector isn’t waiting on paperwork. We stock common replacement parts for these lines locally, so service calls don’t stall waiting on a shipment from a regional warehouse. We’ll quote the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with actual spec numbers, so you can see what each price buys you before you commit.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Union Park Homes

• Corroded aluminum jalousie windows in converted Florida rooms and rear additions. These were everywhere in 1970s Union Park construction, and after five decades of humidity, the sashes bind, the glass rattles, and the frames don’t meet current wind-load code. One cracked pane triggers a full permitted replacement under Orange County rules.
• Failed seals and fogged glass on early-2000s retrofit windows. The first generation of replacement windows in Union Park is now twenty to twenty-five years old, and the sealant systems on many have given out. You’ll see condensation between the panes that never clears. That’s a seal failure, not a cleaning problem.
• Water intrusion at the jamb on CBS block openings. Contractors who used inland-spec windows without flashing tape on block openings left a trail of moldy drywall returns in Union Park. The fix is a full frame replacement with proper sill flashing and backer rod details, done to Orange County inspection standards.
• Warped and swollen wood door jambs from inland humidity. Union Park sits in Orlando’s heat island, and the humidity cycle makes wood jambs swell in summer, bind the door, then shrink in winter. When we see this on a call, we check the adjacent window frames too, since the same moisture drives seal rot and frame corrosion.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Union Park

Do I need a permit for window replacement in Union Park?

Yes. Union Park is unincorporated Orange County, so your window replacement permit runs through the Orange County Building Division, not a city hall like Orlando or Oviedo. Our team prepares the permit packet with FBC product approvals included, so your inspection isn’t delayed while paperwork gets sorted out. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll walk you through the exact Orange County workflow for your street.

Can you just replace the glass in my old aluminum jalousie windows?

Usually not. Original aluminum jalousie windows in Union Park homes are 40-55 years old and don’t meet current Florida Building Code wind-load or energy requirements. Once a pane cracks or a seal fails, Orange County requires a full permitted replacement with approved product specs. We’ll confirm what your specific window needs before we touch anything. Call (813) 320-9346 for a straight answer and a written quote.

Why does a coastal-spec window cost more than an inland-spec window for my Union Park home?

A coastal-spec window runs roughly 20-30% more than an inland-spec window because it uses marine-grade frame hardware, thicker laminated glass, and higher wind-load ratings. In Union Park, you’re not in the highest coastal wind zone, but Orange County still enforces wind-load compliance on all replacements. And the salt air that drifts inland from the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on exposed aluminum frames and jamb hardware, so non-marine-grade units fail in fifteen years, not thirty. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. Call (813) 320-9346 and we’ll show you the difference in writing.

My window has fog between the panes. Can you fix the seal?

No. Fog between the panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed, and the entire IGU needs replacement. On some Union Park homes, that means a simple glass swap within the existing frame. On older aluminum frames, it means a full replacement because the frame itself has corroded past the point where new glass will seat properly. We’ll tell you which one you have after we see the window. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule a look, and the estimate is free.

What window brands do you install in Union Park that meet Orange County’s permit requirements?

We install Simonton, PGT, and CGI windows regularly in Union Park, and all carry Florida Building Code product approvals that Orange County accepts at permit submission. That keeps your inspection on schedule and your warranty valid. We’re authorized for more than a dozen manufacturer lines total, and we’ll quote them side by side on paper so you see the actual specs and prices.
