Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Union Park’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We have not wavered since. Our Union Park customers bring us the doors other contractors installed wrong the first time, and they tell us the same thing: the track binds, the panel drags, and nobody answers the phone when it does. We answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail tree, not a callback queue.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as glaziers, not just door hangers. We measure every rough opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. In Union Park specifically, that last step matters more than most homeowners realize, because your homeowners’ insurance company wants proof of wind-mitigation upgrades for premium credits, and unregistered warranties do not satisfy an inspector.
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, and CGI. We do not push one brand. We show you what fits your opening, what meets Orange County wind-load requirements, and what is worth the money. Then you decide.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Union Park
Our Sliding & Patio Doors team handles replacements, upgrades, and repairs across Union Park. Four services cover most of what we do here.
Patio Sliding Doors
The standard aluminum single-lite patio doors original to most Union Park homes have been failing for years. Rollers wear flat, tracks pit and bind, and the frame itself oxidizes under Central Florida UV to the point the panel will not lock. We remove the old door and frame, inspect the rough opening, rebuild rotted framing, and install a fusion-welded vinyl or aluminum replacement sized to the opening and rated for Orange County wind loads. Prices for a standard 6-foot patio slider in Union Park start around $1,400 for a basic non-impact unit and run $2,800-$4,200 for impact-rated glass with a multi-point lock.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Wider openings, taller panels, and heavier glass demand a stronger track and roller system than the hardware store sliders built for patio doors. We install heavy-duty sliding doors rated for 400-plus pound panels, the kind Union Park homeowners choose when they want a 4-panel opening across a Florida room or want a sliding door that will not sag in ten years. In the 1980s builds around Hiawassee and Goldenrod, these are common replacements for original aluminum sliders that have been dragging for a decade.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
For a full wall of glass, multi-track panoramic systems let panels stack open and clear the opening nearly completely. These are the doors that replace a 10-foot wide opening with four panels that slide into a pocket. They cost more, run $4,800-$9,000 installed depending on width and impact rating, but they transform a dark 1980s Florida room. We quote manufacturer lines side by side so you see exactly what you are buying.

Pocket & Barn Doors
When the swing of a hinged door eats floor space or a hallway is too narrow, a pocket door is the fix. But retrofitting a pocket door into a Union Park concrete-block wall means cutting into block, not drywall. We do it cleanly: mark the wall, cut carefully, frame the pocket, and surface the wall back so the patch disappears. Barn doors are quicker and hang on an exposed track, but they do not seal against drafts, so we recommend them for interior openings, not exterior doors in a hurricane-exposed state like Florida.

Screen Door Installation
Union Park sits inland, but the mosquito show still starts every evening. We install and adjust screen doors on patios, pool entries, and service porches. Older Union Park homes with jalousie windows on the back porch often have matching mid-century screen frames that have lost their tension and sag. If the frame is sound, we resize and re-screen. If it is not, we replace it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Union Park
We are an authorized installer for, PGT among others, and we stock local parts for Union Park jobs so we are not waiting on a distributor in Orlando. When an original Andersen gliding door needs a roller kit or a track cap, we can usually pull it from our shelf and schedule the repair the same week. For replacement doors, we quote ES Windows and ECO Window Systems as well, side by side against Andersen and PGT, so you see the price difference in writing and can decide what matters: glass package, frame material, impact rating, or all three.
We do not stock generic parts for the original aluminum sliders common in Union Park’s 1970s blocks. Nobody makes them anymore. We tell you that upfront instead of spending your money on a patch job that will bind again in a year.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Union Park Homes
Here is what we actually find when we pull old sliding and patio doors out of Union Park tract homes:
- Oxidized aluminum frames and pitted tracks. Intense year-round UV radiation in inland Central Florida degrades the anodized finish and eats at bare aluminum. The track pits, the rollers catch, and the panel will not glide. No repair exists once the track is pitted; the door is done.
- Water-swollen jambs and failed sill pans. Union Park’s daily wet-season thunderstorms soak the bottom of every exterior door, then the sun bakes it dry. Wood jambs swell, rot, and lose their seal. Once water intrudes, the framing around the door goes soft, and that is a structural problem, not a door problem.
- Wind-mitigation failures hiding in plain sight. So many Union Park homeowners discover their 1980s patio door fails current Orange County wind-load requirements only when an insurance inspector flags it. Then the replacement is no longer optional. We have helped dozens of homeowners clear this exact hurdle.
- Jalousie units on Florida rooms. In Union Park’s oldest blocks, jalousie windows and matching slat doors are still everywhere. They cannot be weatherstripped, they leak air year-round, and they fail every current wind and energy code. There is no repair. A full-frame replacement is the only legal and practical path, and we tell owners that straight.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Union Park
Yes, in most cases, because Union Park homes predate Florida’s post-2002 wind-mitigation codes, and any properly permitted, impact-rated patio door upgrade strengthens your wind-mitigation inspection report. The insurance credit varies by carrier and policy, but installing a current-code, wind-load-rated door and registering the warranty and permit documents gives your insurer what it needs to apply the discount. We have walked Union Park homeowners through this for years, and the paperwork is part of the job. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will tell you what we need from you to make the documentation clean. Estimates are free.
Permits are required because Union Park is unincorporated Orange County, not a municipal city. Every structural exterior opening change, including sliding and patio doors, goes through Orange County’s building department. A permit protects you: the inspection confirms the door meets wind-load requirements, and without it, your insurance company can reject a wind-mitigation claim or decline credits. We pull permits on every Union Park job, and we handle the inspections. Do not let a contractor tell you a patio door does not need one.
Yes, and it is the single biggest reason a Union Park patio door quote changes once the old door comes out. Decades of Central Florida thunderstorms followed by rapid drying routinely rot the jamb and sill framing behind original aluminum sliders. On a cul-de-sac off Goldenrod Road, we replaced a 1983 single-lite patio door that had oxidized so badly the track had pitted and the panel no longer locked. Our crew pulled the old frame to find undersized, water-rotted framing from decades of wet-season thunderstorms, and we rebuilt the rough opening, installed a fusion-welded vinyl sliding door with impact-rated glazing, and finished with flashing tape before the inspector arrived. That is what we mean when we say we open the wall first. Call (954) 280-4413 to get your old frame inspected as part of the free estimate.
Yes, but it is structural work. Widening a rough opening in a Union Park concrete-block exterior wall means cutting block, installing a properly sized lintel to carry the load above the new opening, and patching stucco and paint on both sides. It is more than a door swap. We engineer it, permit it through Orange County, and do it correctly. Most one-size-up widening jobs run $800-$1,600 above the door cost itself depending on the lintel and finish work. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, and we will show you the drawings before we cut anything.
No, not economically or permanently. Once the aluminum track is pitted, the roller surface is compromised. New rollers will bind in the same pits, and the door will drag again within months. We will not sell you a repair that fails twice. The honest fix for a pitted track on an original Union Park slider is a full-frame replacement door with a new, properly sloped sill pan. It costs more up front, but it ends the problem instead of delaying it. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will show you the difference on paper.
