AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Pittman
Window replacement in Pittman runs roughly $550 to $1,350 per opening for mid-range vinyl or aluminum frames, and $1,200 to $2,800 per opening for full-frame hurricane-rated impact units. That’s the honest range for this part of St. Johns County. Lead times, not labor, set the calendar on higher-end work. When you’re ready to price the job, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk the house with you, measure every opening twice, and put numbers on paper before you commit to anything.
We know Pittman’s roads, its older wood-frame homes, and the manufactured-home clusters off Pittman Road where rough openings are anything but standard. That local familiarity saves you money because we don’t quote stock sizes and hope for the best. We quote what your frames actually need.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Pittman’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re a second-generation glazier’s operation, founded by Dale Kessler in 2008. The man behind the name came up through the trade, not through a franchise playbook. When a Pittman homeowner calls us about a fogged Andersen slider or a rattling aluminum jalousie, the person who answers the phone is a live human being, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a regional call center. The person who answers is someone who can speak to the work.
Pittman customers have told us plainly what they want from a window contractor: a crew that shows up when it says it will, a written price that doesn’t creep, and a company that will still answer the phone if something goes wrong after the check clears. That’s what the Done Right Promise is for. If the install is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing. That promise is in writing, and it’s backed by The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. And because we dispatch and schedule from our South FL office with crews serving Pittman locally, you get the same caliber of work whether you’re replacing one fogged unit or every opening on the house.
Our Window Replacement Services in Pittman
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement is where the old window, casing, and trim come out to the rough opening, and a new unit goes in with new flashing and a proper seal. In Pittman, full frame work often surfaces when a homeowner pulls a renovation permit and the building department flags grandfathered non-impact glazing that no longer meets current Florida Building Code for this wind zone. We do not fight the code. We quote the correct fix, pull the permit, and close the inspection.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement keeps the existing frame and fits a new window inside it. This is the right move for Pittman homes where the frame is still sound but the glass has failed. Our crew recently replaced fogged single-pane sliders in a 1980s wood-frame home off Pittman Road with custom-ordered options that fit the existing openings. We re-flashed every jamb, installed low-E argon-filled insulated glass units, and confirmed final U-factor and SHGC on site. The homeowner’s west-facing energy bills dropped noticeably by the first full summer. That’s the difference between measuring and hoping versus measuring and knowing.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows matter more in Pittman than casual observers assume. The community sits inland from St. Augustine, but tropical storm tracks through the St. Johns River corridor still bring wind loads that older single-pane units were never built to handle. We install storm-rated and impact-rated replacements that satisfy the current wind-zone requirements. If your existing units were grandfathered in, we’ll tell you what a full replacement triggers before we ever write a quote.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Pittman’s summer heat gain through unshaded, west-facing single-pane windows is the single biggest reason homeowners call us. Low-E coatings and argon-filled insulated glass cut that gain substantially. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, Andersen next to ES Windows next to ECO Window Systems, so you see exactly what you’re buying and what the U-factor and SHGC numbers mean for your cooling load.

Our Window Replacement team handles the ordering, the scheduling, and the install. You handle the decision.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Pittman Homes
- Seal failure within 10 to 15 years. Northeastern Florida’s humidity and summer storms put real stress on insulated glass units. The argon leaks out, the panes fog, and the window’s thermal performance collapses. That’s a replacement, not a repair.
- Non-standard rough openings in manufactured homes. In Pittman’s older manufactured-home clusters, window openings were often built to HUD dimensions, not Florida residential code dimensions. Stock windows will not fit. Contractors who order off-the-shelf sizes eat the margin. We measure and custom-order.
- Grandfathered non-impact glazing. A home that has never had a full renovation permit can still carry single-pane, non-impact windows that are completely legal until you touch them. The moment a permit is pulled, code kicks in. We explain this before you sign anything.
- Wood rot at the frame perimeter. High humidity accelerates rot around older wood-frame windows. A window insert into a rotten frame fails within a few years. We’ll tell you honestly whether the frame is salvageable or whether full frame replacement is the only square deal.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Pittman, FL
Here are real numbers for the Pittman market. An insert replacement with mid-grade vinyl runs about $550 to $900 per window. A full frame replacement in the same material runs $800 to $1,350 per opening. Impact-rated options, which Florida Code requires for full replacements in this wind zone, start around $1,200 per window and run to $2,800 or more for larger custom openings. Manufactured-home custom sizes add 15 to 30 percent to the unit cost because the glass is built to order. We give written, line-item quotes before any work begins. The price on the quote is the price on the bill. No change orders, no surprises. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll measure every opening in Pittman ourselves.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Pittman
No. Many older manufactured homes in Pittman were built to HUD rough-opening specifications, which do not match Florida residential code dimensions. Replacement windows must be custom-ordered or heavily shimmed. We measure every opening and order the correct unit rather than forcing a stock size into a frame it was never meant for. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote on your specific openings.
Most Pittman homes built before the post-Andrew code overhaul carry single-pane, non-impact windows that do not meet current wind-zone requirements. They may be grandfathered in, which means they’re legal until you pull a renovation permit. At that point, the replacement must meet impact or storm-rated standards. We’ll check the manufacturer label, the frame condition, and the opening size, and tell you plainly what a permit-compliant replacement costs.
Fog between panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed. Northeast Florida humidity and heat accelerate this failure, so Pittman windows often lose their argon fill and fog within 10 to 15 years instead of the rated 20-plus. The fix is a new insulated glass unit or a full replacement, not a cleaning. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll assess whether the sash can be reglazed or the entire unit needs replacing.
Most Pittman homeowners see a 15 to 25 percent reduction in cooling cost after replacing single-pane or failed-seal windows with low-E, argon-filled units. West-facing openings show the biggest improvement because of the afternoon heat gain. The actual number depends on the home’s orientation, insulation, and how many windows you replace. We can give you a realistic projection during your free estimate.
Yes. For high-end work in Pittman involving custom millwork, architectural glass, or specialty finishes, we coordinate directly with your architect or designer. Lead times for custom units drive the schedule more than labor. We lock the price in writing before we order, so the spec can change but the price stays fixed. Call (954) 280-4413 to start the conversation.
