AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Conway
Window installation in Conway is not a one-size-fits-all job. Most of the homes here are 1950s to 1970s concrete-block ranches still carrying original aluminum jalousie and single-pane windows, which means the work usually involves full-frame replacement, wind-load compliance, and local permit requirements rather than a quick insert. TruePane Windows & Doors has done this work in Conway for years. We know the lake humidity, the non-standard rough openings, and exactly what Orange County inspectors look for. If you’re pricing window replacement in Conway, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll give you a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Conway’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We are not the cheapest bid in Conway and we do not pretend to be. What we offer is a job done to the Florida Building Code, both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and a Done Right Promise that stands behind the work with no paperwork fights. That matters in Conway specifically, because so many of the homes here were built before current wind-load and energy codes existed. A company that treats these jobs like any other subdivision install will miss what Conway’s older block homes actually need.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and write change orders for any hidden framing or waterproofing work before touching it. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 after decades in the glazing trade, and his rule still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Conway homeowners who have been burned once tend to call us because we answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, and we show up when we say we will.
Our Window Installation Services in Conway
These are the window types we install most often in Conway, based on what the housing stock actually calls for. Every quote includes the full-frame versus insert discussion up front, in writing.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a practical replacement for the old aluminum jalousie units on so many Conway ranch homes. They seal tight against wind-driven rain, which matters when you live near Lake Conway or Lake Gatlin and the afternoon storms roll through. We install impact-rated casements that meet Orange County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements, with low-E glass and argon fill as standard on full-frame replacements.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are the most common replacement we do in Conway, because the original wood or aluminum units from the 1960s and 1970s have warped, corroded, or simply lost their seal. On a block home near a lake, the humidity accelerates seal failure; we regularly see fogged double-pane units that are less than ten years old, while the original single-pane windows are drafty and non-compliant. We quote both single and double hung options side by side so you can see the difference in cost and energy performance on paper.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are not openings you can operate, which makes them the most thermally efficient option for a living room or den in Conway. They work well as replacements for oversized front windows in mid-century ranch homes, especially when you want to frame a view of the oak canopy or the lake without moving parts to fail. We install fixed windows with impact glass or shutter-protection plans, depending on what your permit and your budget call for.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which makes them a good fit for Conway kitchens and bathrooms where you want ventilation without giving up wall space. They shed rain well, so they hold up in the summer downpours we get off the lakes. We install them with the same full-frame flashing and waterproofing detail as every other window on the job.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Conway Homes
This list is specific to Conway. We are not reading from a corporate training manual; these are the things we find when we pull old windows out of block ranch homes in this neighborhood.
- Pocket inserts attempted on non-standard rough openings. Many 1960s Conway homes were framed to odd dimensions that do not match any modern insert size. Contractors who force a pocket insert leave gaps that fail air and water tests, and the homeowner is stuck with a leaky window and no recourse.
- Lake humidity killing sealed units early. Homes within a few blocks of Lake Conway or Lake Gatlin live in ground-level moisture that accelerates seal failure. We see insulated glass units fogged within five to seven years, where the same unit on higher, drier ground in the Orlando metro would last twice as long.
- Unpermitted replacements that skip wind-load upgrades. Conway is in a Wind-Borne Debris Region, which means replacement windows have to meet impact-resistance or approved-protection standards. Unpermitted work skips this requirement, and those windows will not survive a named storm.
- Rotted sills and framing hidden behind old aluminum windows. Decades of condensation and leaky jalousie units have done damage to the rough openings. We price the tear-out as a full-frame job with a written allowance for framing repair, so you are not surprised when the sill crumbles.
Pricing for Window Installation in Conway, FL
A full-frame replacement with impact-rated low-E windows in Conway typically runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, including the tear-out, new framing to code, flashing, and finish trim. Casement windows tend to land on the higher end of that range because the hardware and impact glazing cost more. Single and double hung windows usually run $750 to $1,400 per opening when the rough framing is sound. Fixed and picture windows start around $600 for smaller openings but climb fast when you move into oversized glass. Pocket inserts, where they actually work, run $500 to $900 per opening, but in Conway most older homes need full-frame work, so the insert price rarely applies. A hidden framing repair adds $150 to $400 per opening, and we write that into the contract as an allowance with a change order approved in writing before we touch it. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your home; estimates are free and the price we quote is the price we build to.

We keep common hardware and weatherstripping parts on our trucks, so when a Conway customer needs a follow-up adjustment or a re-glaze, we are not waiting on a parts shipment.

FAQs - Window Installation in Conway
You have to replace them. Jalousie windows, the glass-slat louvered units still sitting in so many 1960s Conway homes, cannot be repaired into compliance with current Florida Building Code wind-load or energy requirements. No retrofit, no re-glaze, no new hardware brings them up to code. Full-frame replacement with impact-rated or shutter-protected units is the only permitted path. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will quote the replacement accurately, including the tear-out and new framing.
The jump almost always comes from rotted framing, non-standard rough openings, or missing waterproofing that was not visible until the old window came out. In Conway’s older block homes, decades of lake humidity and leaky jalousie units have damaged sills and header framing that a visual inspection cannot see. We handle this by writing a framing and waterproofing allowance into the contract up front, so the change order is priced and approved in writing before we touch the damaged wood. You never get a surprise line item after the work is done.
Usually not. Most 1960s Conway homes were framed to non-standard rough opening dimensions that do not match modern insert sizes. Forcing a pocket insert leaves gaps that fail air and water tests, and you end up with a window that leaks and drafts. We measure every opening twice and tell you on the first visit whether a full-frame tear-out is required. If a pocket insert will actually work and meet code, we will tell you that too.
Conway falls under Orange County permitting, and because the area is a designated Wind-Borne Debris Region, replacement windows must meet impact-resistance standards or have approved shutter protection. The permit also requires a final inspection, which means the flashing, waterproofing, and framing details have to be done to code, not covered up. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and do not call the job done until it passes. That is part of the Done Right Promise.
Homeowners in Conway who replace original single-pane aluminum windows with impact-rated low-E double-pane units typically see a 15 to 30 percent reduction in cooling costs during the summer months, with the biggest savings on homes that run air conditioning from May through October. The exact number depends on your insulation, shading, and how many windows face the afternoon sun. We can quote the energy rating difference side by side on paper so you see what you are buying before you commit. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate.
What Opening Up an Older Conway Home Actually Turns Up
Here is what a window job on a Conway block ranch really looks like. On a 1962 home near Lake Conway, we pulled out three bedroom jalousie windows and found rough openings framed to non-standard dimensions with water-damaged sills. The original installer had caulked gaps and called it done, and fifty years of lake humidity had done the rest. Our crew did full-frame tear-outs, installed impact-rated low-E double-hungs with argon fill, wrote a change order for the rotted framing before touching it, and flashed with tape per current code. The owner got a permitted, sealed upgrade instead of a leaky insert. That is the standard we work to in Conway, and it is the same standard on every job we take.
What a Full-Frame Replacement in Conway Actually Costs
The window price is the visible part. The hidden part is what this page exists to tell you about. On a typical Conway block ranch, a full-frame replacement with impact-rated windows runs $900 to $1,800 per opening, and that number includes the tear-out, new framing to code, flashing, and finish trim. The hidden framing and waterproofing work inside the wall runs $150 to $400 per opening when we find rot or water damage, which we usually do. The permit, inspection, and code compliance work is part of the job, not an add-on. In total, a three-bedroom Conway home with ten to twelve openings usually lands between $12,000 and $24,000 when done to code with impact-rated units and proper waterproofing. Pocket inserts would be cheaper, but on these homes they almost never work or pass inspection. We would rather tell you the real number up front than surprise you after the wall is open.
