Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Pine Hills
Custom windows and doors in Pine Hills run $1,800-$6,500 per opening for architectural shapes, impact-rated glazing, and full-frame installations, with lead times of 6-12 weeks driven by manufacturer production schedules, not labor. Most Pine Hills homes are 1950s-1970s concrete block ranches that still wear their original jalousie windows, and a custom replacement is often the only way to bring those openings up to Florida Building Code wind provisions. TruePane has been installing and servicing custom windows and doors in Pine Hills long enough to know which Orange County inspectors enforce what, and which manufacturer lines clear the Florida Product Approval list without delay. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through your options in writing before you commit a dollar.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Pine Hills’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Dale learned the trade from his father, and he built TruePane to be the kind of company Pine Hills homeowners can call in twenty years and still get a straight answer. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and act like a company that plans to be in town in thirty years.
Our Pine Hills customers tend to be people who have lived in the same house for two decades or more. They remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. They are not shopping for the cheapest bid. They want the work done right the first time by a company that will still answer the phone if something goes wrong. That is the customer we built TruePane for. Our Custom Windows & Doors team is background-checked, uniformed, and measures every opening twice before a quote ever lands on paper.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. No paperwork fights. No arguing. A square deal, in writing.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Pine Hills
Custom Shape Windows
Pine Hills ranch homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have odd-sized openings: arched transoms over front doors, trapezoid windows on gable ends, radius tops over picture windows. Off-the-shelf units do not fit these openings, and forcing one in means framing compromises that fail the Orange County wind-mitigation inspection. We mill radius heads, match existing sightlines, and order custom shapes from manufacturers who clear Florida Product Approval. A custom arch or circle-top window in Pine Hills typically runs $2,200-$4,800 installed, depending on glass package and frame material.

Commercial Storefront Glazing
Pine Hills has a heavy concentration of 1970s-era strip retail along Silver Star Road and Pine Hills Road, and a lot of those storefronts are still holding single-pane aluminum frames with failing gaskets. We replace storefront systems with code-compliant aluminum and impact-rated glass that stands up to both summer humidity and the occasional wind event. We schedule around business hours when we can, and we keep the work area clean enough that the register keeps ringing.

Curtain Wall Systems
For larger commercial builds and multi-story additions in the Pine Hills area, a curtain wall system is a structural glass envelope that carries wind load and thermal stress. Orange County inspectors look hard at these installs, and a non-approved product line will get red-tagged on the final. We pre-log the approved-product list with Orange County Building Division before ordering any architectural glass, and we coordinate structural calculations with the engineer of record so the inspection passes the first time. Curtain wall projects in Pine Hills start around $25,000 and run up from there depending on span, glass thickness, and access.

Architectural Grilles & SDLs
Simulated divided lites give a custom window the look of true divided light without sacrificing the thermal and wind performance of a single insulated unit. We install SDLs in impact-rated glass through PGT and CGI lines, so Pine Hills homeowners can match a historic look while still meeting the 130 mph design wind speed that Florida Building Code Chapter 16 requires for the Orlando area. Interior and exterior grille profiles run $40-$110 per window depending on pattern and finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pine Hills
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Pine Hills specifically, we keep tight relationships with PGT and CGI because their impact-rated product lines clear Florida Product Approval cleanly and hold up to Central Florida humidity. We also work regularly with Ply Gem for mid-range architectural casements and fixed glass. We are not married to one brand, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. If you have an existing window or door from a manufacturer not on that list, call us. Chances are we service it.
Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Pine Hills Homes
- Original jalousie windows failing wind-mitigation. The louvered glass on a 1960s CBS ranch can be lifted out by hand and offers almost no thermal resistance. Orange County homeowners insurance premiums stay high until those openings are replaced with Florida Product Approved units, and the wind-mitigation inspection credit is often the fastest way to pull that premium down.
- Western exposure overheating rooms. A homeowner specs insulated glass with a high solar heat gain coefficient because they want daylighting, then wonders why the A/C runs all afternoon in July against a Pine Hills west-facing wall. We spec low-SHGC, argon-filled glass for those exposures, and we explain the numbers before the order goes in.
- Wood door jambs swelling and warping seasonally. Older Pine Hills block homes often have original door thresholds with no proper pan flashing, and the summer humidity swells the jamb until the deadbolt misses the strike. We replace with custom jamb systems and full flashing tape details so the door works in August and February.
- Custom radius or arch windows red-tagged by Orange County inspectors. Contractors who usually work the City of Orlando side order from a non-Florida-Product-Approved line and get failed on the final inspection. We pre-log the approved-product list before we order any architectural glass in Pine Hills, so that red tag never shows up on your file.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Pine Hills
Orange County, not the City of Orlando. Pine Hills is unincorporated, so every window and door permit pulls through Orange County Building Division, which enforces its own approved-product list and inspection schedule. TruePane pre-logs the Orange County approved-product list before ordering any architectural glass or specialty finish, so the permit and inspection path is handled correctly from day one. Call (954) 280-4413 if you want us to pull the permit for your Pine Hills project.
Yes, and it usually does in one shot. The original jalousies on a 1960s Pine Hills CBS ranch are so loose you can lift a louver out with two fingers, and they fail Florida Building Code wind-resistance requirements entirely. A full-frame replacement with impact-rated glass and a proper locking mechanism fixes the security issue and qualifies you for the wind-mitigation inspection credit that can lower your Orange County insurance premium. We just wrapped a full-frame custom replacement on a 1963 CBS ranch off Silver Star Road where the original jalousies were that loose, and the homeowner finally passed a wind-mitigation inspection after decades of trying.
Because custom units are cut, built, and glazed to your exact opening dimensions after the order is placed. Off-the-shelf units ship from stock. A custom radius or architectural casement in Pine Hills runs 6-12 weeks from order date to delivery, and that timeline is set by the manufacturer’s production calendar, not our install crew. We fix the price in writing before ordering and keep you posted on the production schedule. If you want an exact lead time for your spec, call (954) 280-4413 and we will check current factory queues while you are on the phone.
It is common, but it is not something you have to live with. Central Florida humidity cycles swell and shrink wood door jambs on older Pine Hills homes, especially where the original threshold never had a proper pan. We replace the jamb, install a full flashing pan under the threshold, and apply flashing tape details so water never reaches the wood in the first place. If your door binds in July, call (954) 280-4413. We will look at it, tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and put the price in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Simulated divided lites are applied to the inside and outside faces of a single insulated glass unit, so the window keeps its structural rating and wind resistance while giving you the look of true divided light. We spec SDL patterns through PGT and CGI impact-rated lines, both of which clear Florida Product Approval. The grille does not compromise the rating. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote on a specific pattern and glass package for your Pine Hills home.
