AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Edgewood
Impact window and door installation in Edgewood has to clear a bar most homeowners never see coming: the city runs its own building department, separate from Orlando and Orange County. That means permits, inspections, and wind-load documentation follow a different path than a job one block over inside Orlando city limits. We know that path because we pull Edgewood permits regularly, and we build every quote around what the City of Edgewood actually requires. If you’re replacing original jalousie windows or single-pane sliders on a 1950s-70s CBS ranch, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what a compliant job looks like, line by line.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Our Impact Windows & Doors team has worked in Edgewood long enough to know its housing stock house by house. Nearly every home here is a single-story concrete block ranch built between the 1950s and 1970s, and nearly every original window is either an aluminum jalousie or a single-pane slider with no thermal break. That consistency sounds simple, but it creates a specific set of problems: rough openings that don’t match modern unit sizes, frames corroded by Central Florida humidity, and glass that fails Florida Energy Code thresholds before the hurricane rating even enters the conversation. We measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. Dale Kessler founded this company on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Edgewood homeowners tend to be people who have lived in the same house for twenty or thirty years and plan to stay. They remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. That’s who we write our Done Right Promise for. If the work isn’t right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the crews we send into Edgewood are background-checked and uniformed. We’ll be there when we say.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Edgewood
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact-rated windows for an Edgewood CBS ranch are not a one-size order. Original rough openings from the 1950s and 1960s run narrow and shallow by modern standards, so most jobs here involve custom or adapted units rather than stock sizes pulled off a shelf. We install impact windows across Edgewood with laminated glass rated to the wind-load figures Edgewood’s building department enforces under the Florida Building Code, and we document every rating on the permit paperwork. You leave the job with a window that holds its rating and the paper trail that proves it.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Edgewood’s original sliders from the mid-century era were never built for impact resistance, and the thresholds under them have spent decades absorbing wet-season humidity. We replace them with impact sliding glass doors that carry the same wind-load certification as the windows, set into frames that actually seal. If your slider binds in July or leaks during an afternoon thunderstorm, the problem is usually the original rough opening plus a worn threshold, and both get addressed on the same visit. We quote the manufacturer line, the glass package, and the frame adaptation in writing before any work starts.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors in Edgewood face a Central Florida reality: year-round humidity plus annual tropical storm exposure means non-impact-rated doors warp, sag, and leak at the threshold. We install impact entry and French doors rated for the same wind loads the city requires, with proper flashing and threshold sealing so the door operates clean through Edgewood’s wet season. On Oak Street in Edgewood, our crew replaced a set of original aluminum jalousie windows in a 1960s CBS ranch with impact-rated double-hung units from Andersen, using low-E glass and argon fill to meet Orange County’s SHGC thresholds. The old jalousies had no thermal break and were leaking air badly; after we pulled the Edgewood permit and passed the city’s final inspection, the homeowner had the documentation needed for their wind mitigation report. That’s the standard we hold for every door, every window, every opening.
Impact Garage Doors
An unreinforced garage door is the largest opening on most Edgewood homes, and the wind-load math on a 16-foot-wide door from the 1970s fails long before the windows do. We install impact-rated garage doors with reinforced track systems sized for Edgewood’s CBS garage openings, and we file the same permit and inspection paperwork the city requires. If you’re replacing a garage door as part of a whole-house impact upgrade, the documentation has to line up with the windows and doors on the same permit, and we handle that coordination.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edgewood
We carry and install more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Edgewood homes we most often quote Andersen, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems because their impact-rated product lines fit the mid-century rough openings common here. We quote side by side on paper, so you see the glass package, the frame material, the wind-load rating, and the SHGC number for each line before you choose. Because we stock local parts for the brands we install, warranty service on an Edgewood job does not mean waiting on a shipment from out of state. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, in writing.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- Original jalousie windows that fail wind-load ratings. Edgewood’s 1950s-70s homes were built with aluminum jalousies that offer almost zero resistance to wind-driven rain. During even a moderate tropical storm they leak, and insurers increasingly refuse interior water damage claims when the opening was never brought to impact-rated compliance.
- Fogged insulated glass in older aluminum frame sliders. Central Florida’s humidity corrodes aluminum frames with no thermal break, which kills the seal and allows moisture between the panes. That fog is more than cosmetic: it means the unit no longer meets the SHGC performance Florida’s energy code requires, and it will not pass an Edgewood inspection aimed at wind mitigation.
- Warped entry doors with leaking thresholds. Non-impact-rated thresholds on Edgewood’s original doors warp and fail in the wet season, letting water track under the door and into the slab. Skipping the permit and inspection here creates a bigger problem: the homeowner ends up with a new door that satisfies no wind mitigation criteria, so the insurance discount never materializes.
- Rough openings that don’t match modern units. Mid-century Edgewood builders framed window and door openings to sizes that stopped being manufactured decades ago. A cheap quote that ignores this leaves gaps sealed with trim and caulk; a compliant quote includes adapted or custom units that actually fill the opening and hold their wind-load rating.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Edgewood
Impact windows in Edgewood must meet the wind-load ratings adopted by the Florida Building Code for Orange County, which the City of Edgewood enforces through its own building department. Most homes in Edgewood fall into a wind speed zone requiring impact-rated units certified to withstand design pressure figures specific to the opening size and location on the house. A compliant quote lists the design pressure rating for every opening, and the final inspection verifies those ratings against the permit. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and we’ll show you the rating math for your specific house.
You need a permit from the City of Edgewood’s own building department, not Orange County. Edgewood is an incorporated city with its own permit queue and inspection schedule, separate from Orlando and the county, even though the city is completely surrounded by Orlando. We pull the Edgewood permit on every job and coordinate the city inspection so the documentation is complete before we call the job done.
Generally no. Insurance carriers in Florida require documentation that the impact-rated installation was permitted and passed final inspection, and in Edgewood that means the city’s own inspection record, not a county or Orlando sign-off. Without the Edgewood final inspection on file, the wind mitigation report your insurer requests will not be complete, and the discount typically will not be applied. We include permit and inspection documentation in every Edgewood job so you have the record in hand.
Yes, in practical terms it is. Fog between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulated glass unit no longer performs to its rated SHGC, which puts the home below Florida Energy Code thresholds and will not pass an Edgewood inspection looking at wind mitigation compliance. Replacing those original sliders with impact-rated units solves both the energy performance and the wind-load rating in one job. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll tell you what your specific openings need.
Double-hung and casement impact windows in custom or adapted sizes work best for Edgewood’s 1950s-70s CBS ranch homes, because the original rough openings are narrower and shallower than modern stock sizes. We most often quote Andersen, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems impact-rated lines for these homes, with low-E glass and argon fill to meet the SHGC thresholds Central Florida requires. The right style depends on your existing opening dimensions and the wind-load rating your specific wall elevation demands.
