AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Hunters Creek
Window installation in Hunters Creek usually means replacing the original aluminum-frame units builders put in between 1988 and 2000. Most of those windows are now 25 to 35 years old, past their functional lifespan, and failing Orange County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load code. TruePane Windows & Doors handles the full replacement, from the first measurement to the final HOA sign-off. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate, and a live person answers, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Hunters Creek’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 around a rule that has never come off the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Our crews have worked on hundreds of the tract homes and townhomes that make up Window Installation in Hunters Creek, and we know what those original frames do after thirty years of Central Florida sun and humidity. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. We stand behind every install with the Done Right Promise, in writing.
The Keystone Standard on Every Job
Most window companies hand you a receipt and a vague promise. We do it differently. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated on the contract, before we roll off your property. No buried fine print. No arguing about what was covered. If something is not done right in the first 90 days, we make it right. That is the entire promise.
Local Knowledge You Can’t Get From a Regional Call Center
Because almost every home in Hunters Creek was built between 1988 and 2000 with builder-grade aluminum-frame windows, our crews routinely find original fenestration that predates Orange County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load code. This situation does not exist in the mixed-vintage suburbs just across the county line. We know what the Hunters Creek Community Association requires, what Orange County inspectors look for, and which original hardware was spec’d on the Shoma, Morrison, and Ryland tract builds. That matters when you are choosing replacement units.
Our Window Installation Services in Hunters Creek
We install, replace, and service every window type a Hunters Creek homeowner is likely to consider. Here are the four most common requests we see in this community.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are a popular upgrade in Hunters Creek because they seal tighter than sliders against wind-driven rain and are easy to operate with a crank. Homes along Hunter’s Creek Boulevard and in the gated sections of the community often choose casements for rear elevations facing the golf course, where afternoon storms hammer the south side. A mid-range casement replacement in Hunters Creek typically runs $650 to $1,200 per opening, installed. Impact-rated versions are more.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, which means they can stay cracked open during a light rain without dumping water onto the sill. That matters in Hunters Creek, where summer afternoon storms roll through nearly every day from June through September. Homeowners in the townhome communities near the Hunters Creek Golf & Country Club often put awnings in bathrooms and kitchens where ventilation matters more than a big view. Expect to pay $500 to $950 per unit installed.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed windows are the large, non-opening units that frame the lake and golf course views Hunters Creek is known for. The original picture windows from the late 1980s and 1990s were often single-pane aluminum, which is a problem: those south-facing elevations bake all day, leading to seal failure and argon loss in early insulated glass. A new picture window in Hunters Creek generally runs $700 to $1,800 per opening depending on size and glass package. We quote Andersen, Marvin, and ES Windows side by side so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are the workhorses of Hunters Creek’s two-story tract homes. The originals were builder-grade aluminum with single-pane glass, and 30 years later the balances are worn out, the glass is fogged, and the frames are out of square. Double hung replacements with low-E insulated glass start around $450 per window for basic vinyl and go up from there for impact-rated or wood-clad lines. We install more double hungs in Hunters Creek than any other window type. Our Window Installation team handles the full job: removal, disposal, frame repair, flashing, insulated glass, trim, and final seal.

Common Window Installation Problems We See in Hunters Creek Homes
- Original aluminum frames failing wind-load tests. Hunters Creek’s first-generation windows were installed before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the Florida building code. Single-pane aluminum does not meet current Orange County wind-load standards, and HOA resale inspections are flagging them more often every year.
- Seal failure and fogged glass. Early insulated glass units had a lifespan of about 20 years. South-facing elevations in Hunters Creek get hammered by UV, and by year 25 the argon is gone and the panes are fogged. You cannot clean that fog away. The unit is dead.
- Sliding glass doors that bind and leak. The original sliding doors from the early 1990s tract builds were installed with minimal weather-stripping. Decades of humidity have swollen the wooden subframes behind the stucco, so doors stick, leak during storms, and fail wind-load code. This is a multi-trade repair: the frame has to be cut back and rebuilt before new window installation can proceed.
- Builder-grade vinyl warping on west-facing walls. Later homes, built closer to 2000, got early-generation vinyl windows instead of aluminum. Those are now at the end of their service life too, especially on west-facing elevations where heat cycling has warped the frames out of square.

FAQs - Window Installation in Hunters Creek
Yes. Hunters Creek is a master-planned community, and every exterior modification, including window and door replacement, requires architectural review approval from the Hunters Creek Community Association before an Orange County permit can be pulled. We prepare the specification sheets, manufacturer data, and elevation drawings your application needs, and we have worked with the HCCA review process many times. Call (954) 280-4413 and we will walk you through the paperwork before you spend a dollar.
Generally no. Grandfathering applies until you replace the windows, at which point the new units must meet current code. But original single-pane aluminum windows also fail modern wind-load testing, and they are being flagged during HOA resale inspections and insurance underwriting reviews. If your home still has the original aluminum frames from the 1988-2000 build-out, replacement is not a question of if, it is a question of when. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free assessment.
Yes, we fix them as part of the job. The original sliding doors from Hunters Creek’s early 1990s tract builds were installed with minimal weather-stripping, and the wooden subframes behind the stucco have absorbed decades of Central Florida humidity. They swell, the doors bind, and the frames leak during storm season. On a single-family home off Hunter’s Creek Boulevard, we replaced the original aluminum-frame sliding door and adjacent single-pane windows with impact-rated Simonton units. The door’s wooden subframe had swollen badly, so our tech cut back the jamb, installed new flashing tape and a fusion-welded frame, then flashed and sealed the opening before the HOA-mandated architectural review was even finalized. That is what a proper replacement looks like. Call (954) 280-4413 to have a tech look at yours.
The most common first upgrade is replacing the original single-pane aluminum windows on the rear elevation, usually the ones facing the lake, golf course, or west-facing afternoon sun. Those are the units with the most seal failure and the most UV damage. Homeowners typically start with the windows they look through most and the sliding glass door that binds every July. A rear-elevation package of six windows and a slider in Hunters Creek runs roughly $7,000 to $14,000 installed. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Sometimes, but rarely. If your frames are true, square, and still structurally sound, we can do a glass-only replacement or a sash-only replacement on certain window lines. But most Hunters Creek originals have aluminum frames that are out of square, corroded at the corners, or failing wind-load standards. In those cases, replacing the glass alone is throwing good money after bad. We will tell you straight which option makes sense, and we will show you the condition of your frames before you decide. Call (954) 280-4413 for an honest assessment.
