Door and Window Replacement Services in Central Florida
Door and window replacement is one of the most impactful home renovation investments you can make in Central Florida. We install premium vinyl and fiberglass models from brands like Pella, Andersen, and Marvin that feature double or triple-pane Low-E glass, reducing energy loss by up to 30%. Our team removes old frames, inspects structural integrity, and seals new openings with commercial-grade weatherstripping and expanding foam, ensuring air-tight performance that lasts 20+ years.
Our door and window replacement process starts with a detailed on-site measurement and energy audit, typically completed in 1 hour. We order pre-hung units manufactured to your exact specifications, then schedule installation within 10-14 days. Our crew removes old frames, prepares rough openings, installs new units with shims and fasteners, applies backer rod and caulk, and tests all locks and operators before cleanup. Interior trim and exterior casing are finished the same day; full curing occurs within 48 hours.

Our Door and Window Replacement Process
Initial Consultation and Energy Assessment
We visit your Central Florida home to measure all openings, inspect existing frames for damage, and identify air leaks using visual inspection and touch tests. This appointment takes 45-60 minutes and includes a written estimate with product recommendations based on your climate zone and budget.
Product Selection and Ordering
We help you choose between vinyl (best value), fiberglass (superior durability), and composite options, all with Low-E glass and ENERGY STAR certification. Once you approve the estimate, we place orders with manufacturers; delivery typically occurs within 7-10 business days.
Frame Removal and Opening Preparation
Our crew carefully removes old frames, disposes of debris, and inspects rough openings for water damage or structural issues. This step takes 1-2 hours per major opening and ensures new units will sit flush and function properly.
Installation with Weatherproofing
We install new frames level and plumb using shims, fasten with corrosion-resistant fasteners, apply expanding foam, and seal all joints with 100% silicone caulk within 24 hours. Each unit is tested for smooth operation and airtightness before we proceed.
Trim, Casing, and Cleanup
We install or refinish interior trim and exterior casing to match your home's style, typically completing all cosmetic work the same day. Final cleanup removes all debris, and we provide care instructions for your new doors and windows.
