AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Union Park
Impact windows and doors in Union Park are not a luxury upgrade. On a 1970s tract home off SR-50, they’re the difference between a wind-mitigation report that passes Orange County inspection and one that sends you back to square one with your insurance agent. We install hurricane-rated windows, sliding glass doors, entry doors, and garage doors across Union Park every week, and we know what these homes need because we’ve opened hundreds of them. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the property with you, measure every opening, and put pricing on paper.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane has been installing Impact Windows & Doors in Central Florida tract homes since 2008. Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That matters in Union Park, where the housing stock runs to concrete-block construction with aluminum windows that were never square to begin with.
Union Park homeowners call us because we show up when we say, in uniform, with background-checked crews who measure every opening twice. We’re not a franchise dispatch board. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about a fogged insulated unit on a 1980s patio door, you’re talking to someone who has replaced that exact unit and knows what the lead time is this month, not someone reading a script.
The Keystone Standard is how we do every job in Union Park: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. The Done Right Promise backs the workmanship. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no fine print.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Union Park
Hurricane Impact Windows
A typical full-frame impact window replacement on a Union Park concrete-block home runs $900-$1,600 per opening, depending on size, manufacturer line, and whether we’re pulling original aluminum frames that have been in place since the Carter administration. We carry and install PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem lines, quoted side by side on paper so you see exactly what each dollar buys. Most Union Park homes we work on were built between 1972 and 1995, and their original single-pane aluminum windows predate Florida’s post-2002 wind code by decades.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors in Union Park typically run $2,800-$5,500 installed. The range comes down to track width, panel count, and whether the existing rough opening is square and level enough to accept a fusion-welded vinyl or aluminum frame without shimming the jambs hard. On 1980s homes closer to Hiawassee and Goldenrod, we often find original aluminum single-lite patio doors that bind in July because the slab has settled and the sill pan never had a proper flashing tape installation.
Impact Entry & French Doors
An impact-rated entry door with a steel or fiberglass slab, rot-proof jamb, and multi-point locking hardware runs $2,200-$4,800 in Union Park, depending on whether we’re doing a slab replacement or a full frame-out with new sill pan, flashing tape, and threshold. French door configurations with two active leaves cost more, especially when they’re the primary windward exposure on an east-facing wall that takes the full brunt of afternoon thunderstorms. Wood jambs on 1970s tract homes are the weak point here. We replace them, not patch them.
Impact Garage Doors
Impact-rated garage doors for Union Park’s two-car garages typically run $2,500-$5,000 installed, including reinforcement struts, heavier track brackets, and a new opener where needed. The garage door is the largest single opening on the house, and on pre-2002 tract homes it’s usually a hollow-core or thin stamped-steel door with zero wind-credited hardware. A failed garage door is the fastest way to tank a wind-mitigation inspection before it even gets to the windows.
We also handle hurricane shutters and protection systems, and we manage wind mitigation and code compliance paperwork through Orange County’s building department on every job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park
We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Union Park jobs we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. We stock common impact window components, replacement weatherstripping, and door hardware locally so we’re not holding up a Union Park permit schedule waiting on a truck from another state. When lead times run long on a specific line, we tell you before we order, not after you’ve signed.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Union Park Homes
- Original jalousie windows on Florida rooms and secondary bedrooms. These louvered-glass units from the 1970s cannot be weatherstripped to any meaningful standard, and they fail every current Orange County wind and energy code provision. There is no repair path. Full-frame replacement is the only legal option, and we explain that plainly before any work is quoted.
- Fogged insulated glass units on 1980s aluminum windows. Union Park’s inland UV exposure is brutal on glazing seals. Aluminum frames oxidize and pit, seals fail, argon leaks out, and you get that cloudy morning view that never clears. Once the seal is gone, the unit is done. We replace the IGU or the entire sash, depending on the frame condition.
- Swollen, rotted wood door jambs on original entry doors. Union Park’s wet-season cycle is rain every afternoon, then rapid dry-out in 90-degree heat. Wood jambs absorb that moisture, swell, rot, and lose their weather seal, which also voids whatever wind rating the door ever had. We replace the jamb, sill pan, and threshold as a unit, flashed properly.
- Failed wind-mitigation inspections on homes with original aluminum single-pane windows. A wind-mitigation report that flags non-compliant windows and hollow-core doors costs you real money every year in insurance premium. We install rated assemblies that pass Orange County inspection first time.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Union Park
Yes, in most cases it will, often materially. Union Park’s pre-2002 tract homes were built with single-pane aluminum windows and hollow-core doors that earn no wind-mitigation credit on an Orange County inspection. Replacing them with impact-rated assemblies that carry the required notice of acceptance can reduce premium anywhere from moderate to significant, especially when the improvement is documented on a wind-mitigation report. We’ve seen Union Park owners save over $400 a year after a full window and sliding door replacement. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your home.
No. Jalousie windows in Union Park’s oldest blocks cannot be weatherstripped to any standard that passes current Florida Building Code wind provisions, and they provide near-zero insulation during Central Florida’s 90-degree summers. There is no retrofit kit, no legitimate repair, and no compliance path that leaves them in place. Full-frame replacement is the only legal and practical answer. We’ll show you what the code says and quote the replacement honestly.
Union Park is unincorporated Orange County, so window and door replacement projects permitted through Orange County’s building department, not a municipal office. That means inspections are scheduled through the county system, and certain openings may require sealed engineering drawings even when the manufacturer’s product approval already covers the assembly. We handle permits, drawings, and inspections on every job, and we walk each project through to the final sign-off. This is not a detail to handle casually.
That fog is a failed seal. Union Park’s inland UV exposure degrades vinyl glazing seals and pits aluminum frames faster than most homeowners expect, and once the seal goes, the argon fill leaks out and condensation builds between the glass. The insulated glass unit is done. Replacing the IGU on a pitted original frame is often throwing good money after bad, so we’ll give you a straight recommendation: replacement sash or full-frame window. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll come look.
Yes. Union Park is not in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but Orange County homes still face design wind-speed requirements that mandate properly rated window and door assemblies. And the practical benefits stack: insurance credits, lower cooling costs in the long Central Florida cooling season, security, noise reduction from SR-50 traffic, and a dead-simple path to a clean wind-mitigation report when you sell. Impact windows in Union Park are a code compliance decision as much as a storm protection decision.
