Single & Double Hung Windows in Orlando, FL
Single hung and double hung windows are the two most common window styles in Orlando homes. A single hung window has a fixed top sash and a bottom sash that slides up to open. A double hung window lets both the top and bottom sashes move, which means you get ventilation from the top, the bottom, or both at once. Juniper Windows Orlando installs both styles across the city, and every job comes with a written price before work starts, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call us at (850) 679-8554 for a free estimate.
If you’re comparing window styles or trying to decide between a full replacement and a repair, our Window Installation in Orlando guide covers the broader picture. This page is specifically about hung windows: what they cost here, when they fail, and how we install them.
Orlando’s heat and humidity punish windows differently than most of the country. The sun beats on south-facing sashes for hours a day. Afternoon thunderstorms dump rain sideways. Salt air drifts in from the coast. Hung windows, with their vertical sliding sashes, are especially vulnerable to weatherstripping rot, track wear, and balance system failure under those conditions. Juniper Windows Orlando was founded in 2001 as part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we’ve been replacing Orlando’s worn-out hung windows with Window Installation Near Me in Orlando, FL ever since.
Key Takeaways
- Cost in Orlando: Expect $450 to $1,100 per hung window installed, depending on size, frame material, and impact rating.
- Both sashes move on a double hung; only the bottom sash moves on a single hung.
- Impact-rated glass is a smart choice for Orlando’s hurricane exposure and may lower your windstorm insurance premium.
- Every Juniper job includes a written price before work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise covering parts and labor.
- Same-day and next-day appointments are available across Orlando.
When You Need Single & Double Hung Windows
Most Orlando homeowners realize their hung windows need attention when one of these situations shows up. If any of them sound familiar, it’s worth getting an inspection before minor wear turns into a full replacement.
- The sash won’t stay up. You lift the window and it slides right back down. That’s a failed balance system – either the spiral balance or the block-and-tackle mechanism has worn out. It’s common in older Orlando homes, especially in College Park and Winter Park, where original wood windows from the 1970s and 1980s are still in place.
- You feel a draft even when the window is closed. Worn weatherstripping around the sashes lets conditioned air escape. In August, that’s money pouring out of your electric bill every month.
- The window sticks or jams when you try to open it. Humidity swells wood frames. Vinyl and aluminum tracks collect grime. In neighborhoods like Baldwin Park and Thornton Park, we see stuck windows more often in summer, when the humidity is highest.
- Condensation forms between the panes. That’s a failed seal. You can’t fix it by wiping the glass. The insulated glass unit (IGU) has lost its argon or krypton fill, and the window’s U-factor performance is shot.
- You can hear every car that passes. Single-pane hung windows do almost nothing for noise. Homes along Colonial Drive, Semoran Boulevard, or near I-4 feel this the worst. A double pane upgrade with laminated glass cuts road noise noticeably.
- Your windows are single-pane or original to the house. If your home was built before Florida’s 2002 building code updates, your windows likely don’t meet current energy or wind standards. That’s not a code violation until you replace them, but it’s a comfort and efficiency problem year-round.
How Much Do Single & Double Hung Windows Cost in Orlando?
In Orlando, a single or double hung window replacement typically costs $450 to $1,100 per window installed, with most mid-range jobs landing between $600 and $850 per window. A full house of ten windows usually runs $5,500 to $11,000. Here’s the breakdown by material and spec:
| Window Type & Frame | Typical Cost Per Window (Installed) | Notes for Orlando |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl single hung, single-pane | $350 – $550 | Budget option; we rarely recommend it because Orlando code now requires impact or upgraded energy specs in many zones. |
| Vinyl double hung, double-pane, Low-E | $500 – $800 | The sweet spot for most Orlando homes. Good U-factor, decent noise reduction. |
| Aluminum double hung, double-pane | $650 – $950 | Stronger frame, thinner sightlines, but aluminum conducts heat more. Better for larger openings. |
| Impact-rated vinyl double hung | $800 – $1,100 | Meets Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code impact standards. Built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering. |
| Impact-rated aluminum double hung | $900 – $1,300 | Top-tier for coastal-adjacent Orlando zones and high-wind exposure areas. |
What actually moves the price in Orlando:
- Impact rating. If you want impact-rated glass (built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering), expect to add $150 to $350 per window. It’s not required on every Orlando house, but many homeowners choose it for insurance discounts and peace of mind during storm season.
- Frame material. Vinyl is the most affordable. Aluminum gives you slimmer sightlines and more glass area, but at a higher material cost. Wood-clad is available but rarely the right call in Orlando’s humidity unless you’re in a historic district like Lake Eola Heights where architectural review comes into play.
- Opening size and accessibility. A standard 36″ x 60″ hung window is one thing. A second-story window over a tile roof in Dr. Phillips is another. Labor changes with access difficulty.
- Existing frame condition. If the old frame is rotted or out of square, the installation becomes a full-frame replacement rather than an insert, adding $150 to $300 per opening.
- Glass upgrades. Low-E coatings, argon fill, and laminated glass all improve energy and noise performance, each adding $40 to $120 per window.
Every Juniper Windows Orlando quote includes a written price before any work starts. You won’t get a “ballpark” that morphs into a higher invoice at the door. We also offer free estimates, so the number you see is the number you pay. Call (850) 679-8554 to schedule one.
Single Hung vs. Double Hung: Which One Should You Choose?
Single hung windows cost about $50 to $150 less per unit than comparable double hungs. If you’re replacing windows on a budget, that difference adds up fast on a ten-window job. But double hung windows have real functional advantages in Florida.
An awning & hopper windows alternative aside, a double hung window opens from both the top and bottom. That means you can open the top sash to let hot air escape while keeping the bottom sash closed for safety or child-proofing. In Orlando’s shoulder seasons (October through December, March through May), that top-only ventilation is genuinely useful for cooling the house without running the AC.
Double hungs are also easier to clean. The sashes tilt inward, so you can reach the outside-facing glass from inside the house. If you’ve got second-story windows in a two-story home in places like Hunter’s Creek or Waterford Lakes, that tilting function saves you from hauling out a ladder twice a year.
If the windows you’re replacing are in a garage, utility room, or any space where you only need basic ventilation and cleaning isn’t a priority, single hungs are a perfectly good choice. We won’t upsell you into double hungs where they don’t earn their extra cost.
Our Single & Double Hung Windows Process
Here’s what a hung window replacement with Juniper Windows Orlando looks like from first call to final walkthrough:
- You call or book online. A real person answers the phone, 24/7. We’ll ask about your window count, the style you’re considering, and any specific issues you’re seeing. Then we set an appointment time that works for you.
- We measure and inspect. A background-checked, uniformed technician comes to your home, measures every opening, checks the existing frames for rot or out-of-square conditions, and talks through your options: vinyl or aluminum, single or double hung, impact-rated or standard glass, Low-E and gas fill upgrades.
- You get a written price. Before we leave, you’ll have a line-item quote with the exact dollar amount, the specific window product, the glass package, and the scope of work. No estimate that turns into a surprise invoice. That’s the Relay Standard: book in a tap, live arrival time, before-and-after photos, written price, digital invoice.
- We schedule your installation. We’ll give you a date and a live arrival time you can track, the way you’d track a rideshare. No four-hour windows. No no-shows.
- We install and verify. Our team removes the old sashes and balances, installs the new windows, insulates around the frames, seals everything with exterior-grade caulk, and tests each sash for smooth operation. We take before-and-after photos of every window so you can see exactly what was done.
- You approve the work and pay digitally. We walk through the finished installation with you, answer any questions, and send you a digital invoice you can pay from a link. Your 365-Day Done Right Promise is active from that moment: if anything isn’t right, parts and labor, in writing, for a full year.
What Makes Juniper Windows Orlando Different
You’ve got plenty of window contractors to choose from in Orlando. Here’s what actually matters when you’re comparing, and where we stand:
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
Every completed installation is covered for 365 days, parts and labor, in writing. If a sash binds, a balance fails, or a seal gives out within that year, we fix it at no charge. No arguing, no fine print, no “that’s not covered” runaround. The promise is printed on every project we do.
Written Price Before Work Starts
Most contractors quote a range and then adjust at the door. We don’t. You get a written price before a single screw turns, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope. It’s a non-negotiable standard we’ve held since our founding in 2001.
Eight Product Lines, No Compromises
Juniper Windows Orlando carries windows from eight manufacturers, including CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. That means the right window for your project is never a compromise. If you need a specific U-factor, a specific impact rating, or a specific frame color, we can get it.
The Relay Visibility Guarantee
You get a live arrival time you can track, before-and-after photos of every job, and a written price before anything starts. It’s the same transparency you’d expect from a rideshare app, applied to window installation. Sean Mackey, owner of Juniper Windows Orlando, built this standard because he was tired of seeing Orlando homeowners treated like they didn’t deserve to know what was happening in their own house.
Real People, Every Time
When you call (850) 679-8554, a live person answers. Not a voicemail maze. Not a callback queue. Day or night. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who is walking through your door.
FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows
Are single hung windows cheaper than double hung windows in Orlando?
Yes, single hung windows typically cost $50 to $150 less per window than double hung windows of the same size and glass package. The price difference comes from simpler hardware and fewer moving parts. If you’re replacing a whole house of windows, choosing single hungs over double hungs can save $500 to $1,500 on a ten-window job. Call (850) 679-8554 and we’ll quote both options for your exact window sizes so you can compare real numbers, not ballparks.
Can you install hung windows same-day in Orlando?
Yes, for most standard-size openings, we can install same-day or next-day. The only exception is if we need to order a custom size or a specific impact-rated product that isn’t in stock. When we schedule your job, we’ll give you a live arrival time you can track, so there’s no waiting around for a four-hour window.
Do single and double hung windows meet Florida building code in Orlando?
It depends on the glass package and the wind zone of your specific address. Standard double-pane hung windows meet energy codes in most of Orlando, but if your home is in a high-velocity wind zone (more common on the east side of the city and areas near open water), you may need impact-rated glass to meet code. We’ll tell you exactly what your home requires during the free measurement and inspection, and we’ll quote the compliant option the first time. No surprises, no “oh by the way” code upgrades added later.
Is it better to repair or replace a hung window in Orlando?
If the problem is a single broken balance or a torn piece of weatherstripping, repair is usually $75 to $200 per window and makes sense. If you’ve got multiple failed seals, rotted frames, or the windows are single-pane originals from before 2002, replacement is the better long-term call. Replacement gets you modern Low-E glass, a better seal against Orlando’s humidity, and a warranty that repair work can’t offer. Our free second visit if a repair fails means you’re never paying twice for the same problem.
