Window Replacement in Lake Mary, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Seminole County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
Window replacement projects in Lake Mary
Many Lake Mary and Heathrow homes still have the windows they were built with in the 1980s through the 2000s: aluminum single-hung units, some with seal failures that fog the double-pane glass, plus wide sliding glass doors out to the pool cage. Two-story homes with tall family room windows and arched transoms are common, and that much west or south facing glass makes rooms hot by early afternoon. Owners usually want impact glass so shutters can stay in the garage, low-E glass to cut heat gain, and sliders that roll smoothly again.
What changes for a window replacement in Lake Mary
Window replacement in Lake Mary is an HOA project before it is a permit. Nearly every association here reviews frame color, grid pattern, glass tint and slider style, and some limit what can change on the street side. We prepare that submission with product sheets and an opening list, then file the permit with the City of Lake Mary Building Division, or Seminole County for Heathrow parcels, listing each unit's Florida Product Approval. Second-story and arched windows need staging and custom shapes, and the wood-frame upper floor gets a different installation detail than the block first floor.
Local details we plan around
- Much of Heathrow is unincorporated Seminole County, so the county, not the City of Lake Mary, issues those permits.
- Gated communities control contractor access, hours and dumpster placement, which affects scheduling and deliveries.
- Second-floor bathrooms sit over finished rooms, so waterproofing and leak protection matter more than in a single-story house.
- Original plumbing components from the 1980s to 2000s, such as water heaters, shutoff valves and supply lines, are often due for replacement during a remodel.

Scope
What the work includes
In-home measure and assessment
We measure every opening, check the existing frames, bucks and stucco for damage, and note which openings face the street for HOA review and which get the most sun.
Product selection
Impact or non-impact, vinyl or aluminum frames, glass package, grid pattern and frame color, all chosen from products with Florida Product Approval for your openings.
Permit and HOA paperwork
We prepare the permit application with the product approval numbers and help you assemble the architectural review submission your association requires before work starts.
Removal and opening preparation
Old windows removed with care for the surrounding stucco and drywall, openings cleaned, rotted wood bucks replaced, and the opening checked for square and level.
Installation to approved instructions
Windows set, shimmed and fastened with the fastener type and spacing the product approval specifies, then sealed against water intrusion around the full perimeter.
Stucco, trim and final inspection
Exterior stucco patched and ready for paint, interior returns and trim finished, debris removed, and the final inspection passed before we close out the permit.

"It is a pleasure to recommend Prime Construction / Kitchens for any of your home remodeling needs. Prime Construction helped me diagnose a problem with a wall in my garage related to a window leak. Prime Construction shared with me how I could address the issue myself and saved me the cost of a dispatch by their team. They were only concerned with helping me resolve my issue. I give my full recommendation to Prime Construction. Thank you"

FAQ
Window Replacement in Lake Mary: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
Can the arched and transom windows in my Lake Mary home be replaced with impact glass?
Yes. Arched, half-round and fixed transom shapes are made in impact versions with Florida Product Approval, though they are custom units that take longer to arrive than standard sizes. We measure each shape in person, list the approvals on the permit and include them in the HOA submission, so the new windows keep the exterior look the association expects.
Do you work in Heathrow, and who issues the permit there?
Yes, we remodel kitchens and bathrooms in Heathrow. Much of Heathrow is unincorporated Seminole County, so the Seminole County Building Division issues the permit rather than the City of Lake Mary. We check each parcel's tax district on the property appraiser record and file with the correct office, then coordinate gate access and work hours with the HOA.
Do I need HOA approval to remodel a kitchen in Lake Mary?
Usually not for interior work, but check your community's rules. Most Lake Mary and Heathrow HOAs only review exterior changes, such as windows, doors and additions. Many still set rules for contractors on hours, parking, gate access and where a dumpster can go, and some ask for notice before work starts. We read the rules and handle any submittal.
How long does window replacement take from order to installation?
Most projects take a few months from measurement to finished installation, mainly because windows are made to order. Manufacturing commonly takes 6 to 16 weeks depending on the product and season, and HOA approval and the permit happen during that time. Installation itself usually takes 1 to 5 days for a typical home, followed by stucco touch-up and the final inspection.
Are impact windows worth it in Orlando?
For many homeowners, yes. Impact windows protect the house during storms without putting up shutters, can qualify for wind mitigation insurance credits when all openings are protected, add security, reduce outside noise and block most UV light. Whether they pay off for you depends on your insurance, how long you plan to stay and how many openings you have.
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Florida?
Generally yes. Window and exterior door replacement usually requires a building permit in Florida, and each product must have a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA. Your city or county building department makes the final call. We pull the permit, list the approvals and schedule the inspection.
