Character worth protecting
Winter Park's oak canopy, brick streets, and historic homes are the reason people pay the premium to live here — and the reason window replacement needs care. The city's historic preservation standards mean your new windows need to look right: proper proportions, matching grids, appropriate colors. Impact windows do all of that while bringing the glass into the modern era.
The oak canopy problem
Those gorgeous live oaks are also a storm liability — limbs become projectiles in high wind, and Winter Park's mature tree cover means more debris per square mile than newer suburbs. Laminated impact glass is built exactly for this: it takes the hit and stays sealed. It's also why we check every frame carefully here — decades of shade and moisture age wood frames faster.
Lakefront and chain-of-lakes homes
Homes on the Winter Park chain of lakes face open-water wind fetch — gusts hit harder across open water than through built-up neighborhoods. Large picture windows framing lake views are exactly the openings that need impact rating most, and low-E coatings keep those big glass walls from overheating the house.
From Park Avenue condos to lakefront estates, we spec windows that satisfy the historic board and the building code. Get your free quote.
