AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Edgewood
Window replacement in Edgewood runs $380-$1,900 per opening for most 1950s-70s CBS ranch homes, depending on whether you’re swapping an insert into an existing frame or doing a full-frame replacement that brings the rough opening up to current Florida Building Code wind-load ratings. Edgewood issues its own municipal permits for window work, which means your job won’t wait in Orange County’s queue or Orlando’s inspection schedule. We’re familiar with Edgewood’s building department, its inspection calendar, and the specific jalousie-failure problems these mid-century block homes share. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what your house actually needs before anyone quotes a number.
Key Takeaways:
- Edgewood requires its own city permit for window replacement, separate from Orange County and Orlando.
- Most Edgewood homes are 1950s-70s CBS ranches still holding original aluminum jalousie or single-pane sliders that fail wind-load ratings.
- Florida Energy Code SHGC thresholds in Central Florida rule out plain clear glass on most replacement windows here.
- TruePane registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Edgewood’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he still keeps on the shop whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the standard we bring into Edgewood, where the housing stock is one consistent mid-century era and the problems repeat from house to house. We know what a 1962 CBS ranch on Harwood Avenue needs before we step through the door, because we’ve already replaced jalousies on a dozen just like it.
Edgewood homeowners don’t want a franchise crew that has never pulled a permit from Edgewood city hall. They want a company that shows up uniformed, measures every opening twice, and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Our Window Replacement team has spent years working with, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we’re an authorized installer for all of them. We’ll put two or three lines in front of you with prices and warranty durations stated plainly, so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Response time to Edgewood is straightforward: a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When you call (954) 280-4413, you get a person who can schedule a free estimate and tell you what to expect from Edgewood’s permit process before we set foot on your property.
Our Window Replacement Services in Edgewood
Full Frame Replacement
A full frame replacement in Edgewood means pulling the old aluminum jamb out of the concrete block opening, squaring the rough opening, and setting a new unit with fusion-welded frames and flashing tape. This is the right call when the existing jamb is corroded, out of square, or simply doesn’t meet Florida wind-load ratings. Edgewood’s municipal inspector will check the jamb fastening and the flashing details, so this isn’t a job to shortcut. Most full-frame replacements in Edgewood run $900-$1,900 per opening depending on size and whether you choose impact-rated glass.
Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are square and solid, an insert replacement fits a new sash and track inside the old jamb. It’s faster and less expensive, typically $380-$800 per opening in Edgewood. But we’re honest about the limits: if the old aluminum frame has no thermal break or the jamb is corroded from decades of Central Florida humidity, an insert won’t fix the underlying problems. We’ll tell you before you spend a dollar which path is right for your house.
Storm Window Replacement
Edgewood sits inland, so wind speeds are lower than the coast, but Orange County’s adopted Florida Building Code still mandates specific wind-load ratings. Original single-pane sliders in these CBS ranch homes don’t meet them. Impact-rated window replacement in Edgewood typically runs $700-$1,500 per opening for standard sizes, and we recommend PGT and CGI lines for homes that want the strongest storm protection without going to full hurricane shutters. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
The Florida Energy Code sets strict SHGC thresholds for replacement windows in Edgewood, which means you can’t legally install plain clear glass in most openings. Low-E glass with argon fill handles the solar gain requirement and cuts the UV load that fades furniture and overheats rooms in these block homes. We stock low-E dual-pane units with SHGC ratings that clear Edgewood’s inspection the first time, and we’ll show you the label so you know it’s compliant.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Edgewood Homes
- Jalousie windows losing their seal. Edgewood’s year-round humidity attacks glass-to-metal seals on original jalousie units, which were never meant for Florida’s moisture load. You’ll see fog between the panes and feel damp air at the glass edges long before the window visibly fails. Replacement is the fix, not seal repair.
- Single-pane sliders failing wind-load inspection. When Edgewood’s municipal inspector checks a replacement, the original 1960s sliders almost never meet Florida Building Code wind ratings. Homeowners get flagged, and the fix is impact-rated or wind-rated units, which means the opening often comes into play.
- Improper flashing tape on concrete block openings. We’ve re-done jobs in Edgewood where a previous crew skipped flashing tape or folded it wrong against CBS construction. Water gets behind the jamb, the seal fails, and rot starts around the rough opening. It’s a water-management detail that most homeowners never see until the damage starts.
- Corroded aluminum frames with no thermal break. Central Florida’s UV load and humidity corrodes the original aluminum frames in these 1950s-70s ranches from the outside in. The metal conducts heat straight into the room, and the window leaks energy all year. Full-frame replacement is usually the honest fix.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Edgewood
Edgewood is its own incorporated city with its own building department, its own permit queue, and its own inspection schedule. A house one block over inside Orlando city limits uses Orlando’s process. Your Edgewood job goes through Edgewood city hall directly, which we handle for you, including pulling the permit, scheduling the inspection, and standing there when the inspector arrives.
Not automatically. Florida Building Code requires wind-load ratings that many original jalousie units can’t meet, but your replacement can be wind-rated without necessarily being full impact-rated unless your opening’s design pressure calls for it. We’ll calculate the design pressure for each opening and tell you exactly what Edgewood’s inspector will accept before we order anything. Call (954) 280-4413 for the exact requirements on your house.
In most cases, yes. Florida Energy Code sets a maximum solar heat gain coefficient for replacement windows in Edgewood, and plain clear glass typically exceeds it. Low-E glass with the right coating brings the SHGC under the threshold, cuts the heat coming through the glass, and still lets in plenty of natural light. We’ll show you the label on the glass before it’s installed.
CBS construction means the rough opening is in concrete block, not wood framing. When the block opening is square and the old frame is solid, an insert replacement keeps the job at the lower end of the range. When the block is chipped, out of square, or the old aluminum jamb is corroded, the opening has to be reframed and flashed properly, which moves the job into full-frame pricing. We scope that on the estimate, not after we’ve started.
Yes, and usually by enough to notice in the first Florida summer. Original jalousie windows leak conditioned air through the glass edges and the frame gaps, which forces your AC to run longer in Edgewood’s humidity. A properly sealed low-E replacement stops that air exchange and cuts the solar gain hitting your rooms. The energy savings you see will be in the specific difference between your old single-pane jalousies and a sealed dual-pane low-E unit. We’ll tell you what to expect, in realistic numbers, not a sales pitch. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate.
