AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Wedgefield
Window replacement in Wedgefield, FL usually costs between $650 and $1,400 per opening for a standard insert, and $900 to $2,200 per opening when a full-frame replacement is required, which is common here given the age of the housing stock and the moisture conditions along the St. Johns River basin. Most jobs in Wedgefield take one to two days per opening once materials arrive. If you’re reading this because a window has failed, fogged, or rotted at the sill, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk you through what you’re actually dealing with before anyone touches the wall.
TruePane has worked on ranch homes and equestrian estates throughout Wedgefield long enough to know that the real story is rarely the glass. It’s what’s behind the trim. Dale Kessler built this company on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means we open the wall, look at the framing, and tell you the truth before we quote the work.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wedgefield’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not the newest name in Wedgefield, and we’re not trying to be. TruePane Windows & Doors has been serving communities across central and south Florida since 2008 through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 because he was tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties passed off as normal. That problem is worse in Wedgefield than most people realize, because the floodplain conditions here punish shortcuts faster than higher ground ever will.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every rough opening twice before ordering anything. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s not optional on any job we do in Wedgefield.
When you call (954) 280-4413, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. That matters when you’ve got a window that’s leaking into the drywall and you need to know if someone can get to Wedgefield this week. We answer, we listen, and we schedule a time we’ll actually keep.
Our Window Replacement Services in Wedgefield
For a full picture of what we do, see our Window Replacement services. On this page, we’re focused on what Wedgefield homeowners actually call us for.
Full Frame Replacement
In Wedgefield, full-frame replacement is the norm, not the exception. The original single-pane aluminum frames in 1970s through 1990s ranch homes sit against wood jambs that have been wicking moisture from the St. Johns floodplain for decades. When we pull the frame, the sill plate and jamb ends are often softened or gone entirely. We cut out the rot, reframe with pressure-treated stock, flash the perimeter with butyl tape, and set the new window into a squared opening that meets current Florida Building Code.
Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement works when the existing frame is still sound and square. In Wedgefield, that’s less common than homeowners expect, but we’ll always check before recommending full-frame work. If your frame is solid, an insert is faster and less expensive. If it isn’t solid, we’ll show you, in person, and explain what a cheaper insert would cost you three years from now.
Storm Window Replacement
Central Florida’s thunderstorm season sends wind-driven rain hard against east-facing elevations in Wedgefield, especially on the open, flat terrain near the eastern edge of the community. A secondary storm window only works if the primary window and its flashing are doing their job. We evaluate the whole assembly before recommending storm units, and we won’t sell a storm window as a fix for a frame that’s already compromised.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original single-pane windows in Wedgefield with modern double-pane, low-E, gas-filled units makes a measurable difference in humidity control as much as temperature. Homes here aren’t just hot; they’re damp. A properly sealed, correctly flashed window assembly reduces air infiltration that carries that humidity inside. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including impact-rated options from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, so you can see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wedgefield
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we stock parts for the window brands most common in Wedgefield’s 1970s through 1990s homes. That includes PGT and CGI impact-rated lines, which matter here because any replacement in Orange County must meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for customers who want high-efficiency glazing without sacrificing the wide sightlines these ranch homes were built for. If your existing windows are a brand we don’t carry, we’ll tell you plainly and help you find a comparable product at a fair price.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Wedgefield Homes
- Rotted sills and jamb ends from the high water table. Wedgefield sits in the St. Johns River floodplain, and ground-level moisture never really leaves. The wood sills and jamb ends under original window frames soften over time, so the new window’s structural support points fail while the glass itself still looks fine.
- Non-standard rough openings from the equestrian building era. Many Wedgefield homes were built with custom wide openings to accommodate barn-style doors and oversized garage windows. A supply-house standard replacement simply won’t fit without reframing or custom fabrication, and a contractor who doesn’t measure carefully will order the wrong size and make it your problem.
- Failed flashing that lets wind-driven rain behind the frame. The flat, open terrain of eastern Orange County means thunderstorms hit Wedgefield hard. Worn original flashing and dried-out sealant allow water to track along the frame, and the first sign is usually a water stain on the drywall or a musty smell near the casing. By then, mold is often already behind the trim.
- Aluminum frames with corroded corners and worn tracks. The humidity near the St. Johns basin accelerates aluminum oxidation. We regularly see original sliding window tracks so corroded they can’t be rebuilt, which pushes the job from insert to full-frame replacement.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Wedgefield, FL
Line-item pricing is the only honest way to talk about cost. In Wedgefield, a standard insert replacement for a double-hung window typically runs $650 to $1,200 per opening. Full-frame replacement, which is more common here because of rot and non-standard rough openings, runs $900 to $2,200 per opening. Impact-rated glazing adds roughly 25 to 40 percent per unit, depending on the manufacturer line and size. The biggest variable is what’s inside the wall once we open it: rotted framing, undersized headers, and non-standard rough openings all get priced in writing before we do the work. You’ll get a free estimate with a written line-item breakdown. Call (954) 280-4413 to schedule it.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Wedgefield
Because the original wood sills and jamb ends in many Wedgefield homes have been sitting against floodplain moisture for thirty to fifty years, and by the time a window fails, the framing behind it is usually compromised. An insert replacement relies on the existing frame to support the new window, and if that frame is soft or out of square, the insert will fail prematurely. We check the framing before we quote anything, and we’ll show you what we find. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate that starts with an honest inspection.
Any window or door replacement in Orange County must meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, which means the new unit must be impact-rated or protected by an approved shutter system. Because Wedgefield sits within the wind-borne debris region, that requirement applies to virtually every home here. If we’re doing full-frame work, the header and rough opening also get inspected and brought up to code before the new window is set. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure the paper trail is clean before we close up the wall.
Yes. Non-standard rough openings mean we custom-order the window to the opening rather than forcing a stock size into the wall. Many equestrian-era homes in Wedgefield were built with oversized or custom-width windows, especially around garage and barn-style areas. We order the correct size from the manufacturer, including energy-efficient and impact-rated lines, and we reframe the opening if the existing framing can’t support the new unit. The lead time is longer than a stock order, but the window fits, seals, and lasts.
Before we start the job, we inspect every opening and build a written allowance into your quote for common contingencies like rotted jamb ends and sill plates. If we find rot that we didn’t anticipate, we stop work, show you what we found, and put the additional repair in writing with a firm price before we touch it. There are no surprise line items on the final bill that you never approved. That’s the only way we do business, and it’s the only way that makes sense in a floodplain community like Wedgefield.
Yes, often measurably. The moisture and mildew smell you’re dealing with is usually air infiltration carrying floodplain humidity past failed window seals and into the wall cavity. A properly flashed, correctly sealed window assembly stops that air movement, and the interior humidity level drops. If we find mold behind the casing, we’ll refer you to a licensed remediation contractor before we set the new window. We don’t cover mold with a new window and call it fixed.
