Window Replacement in Winter Park, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Orange County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
Window replacement projects in Winter Park
Windows in Winter Park cover a wider range than most Orlando suburbs. Mid-century ranches often still have original aluminum or steel windows that sweat, leak air and will not lock tight. Older cottages near Park Avenue and Rollins College may have wood windows set in frame walls rather than block. Lakefront homes on the Chain of Lakes put large panes and sliding doors toward open water and afternoon sun. Most owners want impact or energy-efficient glass with a frame and grid pattern that still look right on the house.
What changes for a window replacement in Winter Park
On a designated historic property, replacing windows is an exterior alteration, so a Certificate of Review from the Historic Preservation Board comes before the building permit. Every unit carries a Florida Product Approval number, and the permit is filed with Winter Park Building and Permitting Services or with Orange County for unincorporated parcels. Block ranches get the buck inspection and stucco patching typical of Central Florida; wood-frame cottages need flashing and trim details matched to siding or older stucco.
Local details we plan around
- Designated historic properties and homes inside a designated district need a Certificate of Review for exterior additions or alterations before work starts; interior kitchens and baths are generally not part of it.
- Protected trees on private property need a city tree removal permit, so additions, new patios and even staging near a large oak have to be planned around the canopy.
- A Winter Park mailing address does not guarantee city permitting; parts of 32792 are unincorporated Orange County and are permitted by the county.
- Homes from the 1920s to the 1960s often have plaster walls, cast iron drains and limited electrical service that need upgrading during a kitchen or bath 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 Winter Park: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
Can I put impact windows in a historic Winter Park home?
Often yes, but for a designated property the change needs a Certificate of Review before the permit. The review generally looks at whether the new windows keep the look of the originals, such as proportions, grid pattern and frame profile. We bring product sheets and drawings to that step and pick impact units with Florida Product Approval that fit the character of the house.
Do I need Historic Preservation Board approval to remodel my Winter Park kitchen?
Only if the home is on the Winter Park Register of Historic Places or inside a designated historic district, and only for exterior changes. A kitchen that stays within the existing walls usually needs just the building permit. If the remodel adds a window, moves an exterior door or adds square footage, the property needs a Certificate of Review first, and we plan the schedule around that hearing or committee review.
Can I remove a tree to build an addition in Winter Park?
Sometimes, but not without a permit. Winter Park requires a tree removal permit for protected trees on private property, and removal can come with replanting or a payment into the city's tree fund. We look at the trees before designing an addition, because placing the footprint to save a large oak is often simpler than permitting its removal.
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.
