AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Edgewood
Window installation in Edgewood runs $450 to $1,800 per opening for most mid-century concrete block ranch homes, with impact-rated and custom units at the higher end. That is the honest range for this city’s specific housing stock. TruePane Windows & Doors has pulled permits through Edgewood’s own building department for years, and we know the difference between what a 1962 CBS home on Lakehold Road needs versus a newer build near Hansel Avenue. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate with a technician who has actually worked in Edgewood.
Key Takeaways:
- Edgewood has its own municipal permit queue separate from Orlando and Orange County, which affects every window or door replacement timeline.
- Most Edgewood homes are 1950s to 1970s concrete block ranch houses still fitted with original aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders that fail current Florida Energy Code thresholds.
- The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and every job carries a Done Right Promise.
- Most standard window installations in Edgewood complete in one visit; custom long-lead units are priced and scheduled in writing before any order is placed.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Edgewood is a small city. Less than half a square mile, completely surrounded by Orlando, with a housing stock that almost nobody from outside the neighborhood understands on the first visit. We do. We have replaced windows and doors in concrete block ranch homes from Lakehold Road to the streets off Edgewater Drive, and we know those homes were built in an era when nobody planned for hurricane wind loads or Florida Energy Code solar heat gain thresholds. That matters when a homeowner wants a permit that actually clears.
Our crews arrive background-checked and uniformed. Our technicians measure every opening twice, because the rough openings in 1950s and 1960s Edgewood homes rarely match the stock sizes printed in any catalog. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 out of a specific frustration: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. The rule on our whiteboard has not changed since: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. When an Edgewood homeowner calls about a fogged seal on a single-pane slider, the person who picks up can schedule the estimate and tell you what documentation you will need for Edgewood’s permit desk.
Our Window Installation Services in Edgewood
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the most common upgrade we install in Edgewood’s older ranch homes. The original aluminum jalousie units left in many 1950s and 1960s houses on streets like Marion Avenue offer near-zero energy efficiency and cannot meet current wind-load requirements. A properly set casement window with low-E insulated glass and a fusion-welded frame seals tight against Central Florida humidity and opens fully for the cross-breeze these older homes were designed to catch. We rebuild rough openings to modern dimensions as needed, which is standard work on this housing stock.
Awning Windows
Awning windows make sense in Edgewood because they vent well during afternoon rain without letting water in, which matters in a climate that gets a downpour most summer afternoons. We frequently install awning units in kitchens and bathrooms of CBS ranch homes where the original jalousies have lost every slat clip and the frame is corroded at the jamb. The units we quote meet Florida Building Code wind-load ratings and the state’s SHGC thresholds, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers before the job is closed out.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Many Edgewood homeowners want a large fixed picture window in a living room that once faced a jalousie panel and a wall of metal framing. The structural difference matters. A picture window in a 1960s CBS wall requires the same permit review through Edgewood’s city hall as any other fenestration change, and the rough opening work often involves removing steel frame remnants and adding a proper header where the original builder never installed one. We handle the permit, the opening work, and the inspection coordination with Edgewood’s own schedule.
Single & Double Hung
Double hung windows remain the most requested replacement in Edgewood because they read as period-appropriate on a mid-century ranch while delivering modern thermal performance. The catch on homes built between 1955 and 1975 is that original rough openings rarely match today’s standard double hung dimensions. We measure, quote the custom size if needed, and install units that operate smoothly for decades. Single hung units offer the same look at a lower installed cost, and we quote both side by side on paper so you can see the difference in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edgewood
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Edgewood work we frequently quote, ES Windows. We carry or can quickly source local replacement parts for existing Andersen and Pella units, which shortens the repair timeline for homeowners who want to keep their current frames.

We do not push a single brand; we show you the differences and let the numbers speak.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- Original aluminum frames without thermal breaks. Decades of Central Florida humidity corrode the jamb channel, which causes the seal to fail and the glass to fog between panes. Once the frame metal is pitted through, repair is not worth the cost versus replacement.
- Jalousie windows still in place. These were cheap to install and impossible to keep sealed. Edgewood’s current code requires impact-rated or wind-load-compliant glazing on replacement units, and a jalousie cannot be permitted as-is. The fix is full replacement with a modern casement or fixed unit.
- Single-pane sliders with SHGC values far above Florida Energy Code thresholds. Contractors who quote standard stock sizes on these 1950s to 1970s homes miss the custom rough opening work, which leads to shims, gaps, and a permit that never gets finaled.
- Fogged glass on clear panes. A window that is not impact-rated and not low-E can still fog if the seal fails. The afternoon heat in Edgewood accelerates that failure. Once insulating gas escapes, the unit loses its thermal rating permanently and needs replacement, not a desiccant refresh.

FAQs - Window Installation in Edgewood
Because the rough openings in 1950s to 1970s Edgewood CBS homes were framed to accommodate jalousie and narrow aluminum slider units that are no longer manufactured in those dimensions. A stock replacement window simply will not fit without substantial shimming and gap filling, which fails inspection and voids the manufacturer’s warranty. We measure twice, build the opening to the correct modern dimensions, and order units made to fit. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free measure and a written quote.
You do not. Edgewood is its own incorporated municipality with its own building department, permit queue, fee schedule, and inspection calendar. A permit issued through Orange County has no standing in Edgewood, and the same is true in reverse. TruePane pulls permits through Edgewood’s city hall directly, which means we know the current forms, the current fees, and the inspection days that work with our scheduling. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through the exact process for your job.
Replace them. Jalousie hardware can be rebuilt piecemeal, but the units themselves cannot meet Edgewood’s current wind-load requirements or Florida Energy Code SHGC thresholds, and a repair that does not change the glazing accomplishes nothing you would want to pay for. We replace jalousies with modern casement, awning, or fixed units, rebuild the opening as needed, and the permit gets finaled by Edgewood’s inspector on the first visit. Call (954) 280-4413 for a quote on the exact count of openings you have.
Because clear glass has a high solar heat gain coefficient, and in Central Florida’s afternoon sun that heat radiates straight into the room even when the glass looks perfectly transparent. Edgewood homes built in the 1950s through 1970s were originally fitted with clear single-pane or jalousie glass that fails today’s SHGC thresholds by a wide margin. Replacing those units with low-E, spectrally selective glass cuts that heat gain substantially, and the manufacturer’s performance data is part of the written quote. Call (954) 280-4413 to have your current units measured and tested.
Most standard-size replacements in Edgewood are installed in a single visit, usually 4 to 8 hours depending on the number of openings. Custom work, including Bay & Bow windows or oversized picture units, is paced by the insulated glass unit production schedule, which typically runs 3 to 6 weeks after the order is confirmed. The labor is the fast part; the glass production is the long-lead item, and our written quote states the production window before we place the order. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will give you a realistic schedule for your specific job.
