Garden Windows in Orlando, FL
A garden window is a projecting window, usually three-dimensional, that extends outward from the wall and creates a mini greenhouse shelf inside your kitchen or dining area. In Orlando, homeowners use them to grow herbs, display orchids, and bring more late-afternoon light into rooms that face east or north. A properly installed garden window runs $1,400 to $3,800 depending on size, glass package, and whether the existing opening needs reframing. If you’re considering one, explore our Window Installation services or call Westlight Windows Orlando at (850) 493-7894 for a written quote before any work begins.
We install garden windows as part of our broader Window Installation in Orlando service. Owen Satterfield and our crew have been putting them in Florida homes since 2009. We carry multiple manufacturer lines so the window fits your wall and your budget, not the other way around.
The name Westlight comes from the late-afternoon sun that pours through a good window. A garden window is exactly that kind of window: built to catch light, hold a few potted plants, and make a small kitchen feel twice its size. Done right, it’s one of the most satisfying upgrades in the house.
Key Takeaways
- Most garden windows in Orlando run $1,400 to $3,800 installed, with custom sizes and impact glass pushing higher.
- We give you a written price before any work starts. That price does not change at the door.
- Our installation crew is background-checked, uniformed, and shows up in the arrival window we commit to.
- Every garden window job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year, we return and fix it at no charge.
- We install multiple brands including CGI and ECO Window Systems, so your glass and frame options are real choices, not whatever we have in the truck.
When You Need Garden Windows
Not every Orlando home is a good fit for a garden window. Here are the situations where they make the most sense, based on what we see across Orange County neighborhoods like College Park, Conway, Baldwin Park, and Dr. Phillips.
- Your kitchen feels dark even at noon. Florida kitchens that face north or sit under a covered lanai often struggle for natural light. A garden window projects past the roofline shadow and catches sun that a flat window misses.
- You grow herbs or small plants indoors. Basil, mint, rosemary, and orchids do well in Orlando’s humidity when they sit in a south or west-facing garden window. The glass shelf gives them sunlight from three directions instead of one.
- You want more counter space without remodeling. A garden window adds a usable shelf at window height, typically 12 to 18 inches deep. That’s room for cookbooks, a small plant collection, or a dish-drying rack without touching your existing counters.
- Your current window is fogged or leaking. Seal failure is common in Orlando because of our heat and humidity cycles. If you’re replacing a failed kitchen window anyway, upgrading to a garden window costs only a few hundred dollars more than a standard replacement.
- You’re selling within the next few years. Kitchen upgrades return the most value per dollar in Orlando’s resale market, and a garden window reads as a custom touch. Buyers notice them.
- You want a window that actually ventilates. Many garden windows include side casement vents that open outward. In Orlando’s mild winters, that means fresh air without opening a full window or running the AC.
Our Garden Windows Process
Here’s how a garden window installation works with Westlight Windows Orlando, step by step. We follow what we call the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
- You call and a person answers. Our phone lines are staffed by a live human 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You won’t reach a voicemail box or a chatbot. We’ll ask about your kitchen, your existing window size, and what you want to grow or display, then schedule a free in-home measurement.
- We measure and quote in writing. One of our technicians comes to your home, measures the rough opening, checks the wall structure and exterior cladding, and gives you a written price before any work starts. That price covers the window, installation, trim, and cleanup. No revised invoices later.
- You pick your glass and frame. We’ll walk through the options: single-hung vs. casement side vents, low-e glass (a thin coating that reflects heat back out in summer), impact-rated glass if you’re in a hurricane zone, and frame color. We carry CGI and ECO Window Systems among our eight manufacturer lines, so you choose what fits your home and budget.
- We install on schedule. We give you a committed arrival window, not a four-hour vague range. The crew removes the old window, reframes the opening for the garden unit, sets the window, seals it against Orlando’s rain and humidity, and reinstalls interior and exterior trim.
- We clean up and hand you the guarantee. The job site is left cleaner than we found it – no glass shards, no old caulk, no drywall dust. Before we leave, you get a written guarantee covering the workmanship, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the window sags, leaks, or fails to open properly within a year, call us and we’ll come back at no charge.
Garden Windows Pricing in Orlando
Garden window installation in Orlando typically runs $1,400 to $3,800 for most homes. The final number depends on the size of the opening, the glass package, the frame material, and whether your existing wall needs structural work. Here’s a breakdown of what we see across the Orlando market.
| Component | Typical Range in Orlando | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard vinyl garden window (36″ x 36″) | $900 – $1,600 | Includes frame, glass shelves, side vents |
| Larger or custom-size garden window (48″ x 36″ or bigger) | $1,400 – $2,400 | Custom sizing adds 15 – 30% over stock units |
| Impact-rated glass upgrade (CGI) | $500 – $1,200 | Required or recommended in many Orlando-area homes for hurricane protection |
| Low-e glass coating | $150 – $400 | Reflects heat; worth it in Florida’s summer |
| Labor and installation | $400 – $900 | Includes removal of old window, reframing, sealing, trim, cleanup |
| Total typical project | $1,400 – $3,800 | Most Orlando kitchens fall in this range |
What moves the price? First, whether the existing rough opening is standard or needs reframing. Older Orlando homes, especially those built before 1990 in neighborhoods like Colonialtown or Delaney Park, often have non-standard openings that require a custom-sized unit, unlike standard Single & Double Hung Windows. Second, glass: if you want impact-rated glass from a manufacturer like CGI, expect to pay more – and in Orlando’s hurricane-prone climate, that upgrade is often worth every dollar. Third, accessibility: a second-story kitchen window or one with difficult exterior access adds labor time, which adds cost.
Every quote we give is a written price, not an estimate range we can revise later. You’ll know exactly what the window costs, what installation costs, and what the total is, before you sign anything. Call (850) 493-7894 for a free in-home measurement and written quote. No door-step surprises, ever.
Why Orlando Homeowners Choose Westlight Windows Orlando
We know there are plenty of window companies in the Orlando area. Here’s what makes us different, in specific terms.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise
When we finish a garden window installation, we hand you a written guarantee that says this: if the work isn’t done right within 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. Not a pro-rated amount. Not a service fee. Free. That includes glass seal failures, sagging shelves, leaking corners, or a window that won’t open smoothly. If a repair fails during the guarantee period, you get a free second visit automatically. We don’t make you negotiate for it.
Written Pricing Before Work Starts
Every homeowner gets a written price before any work begins. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it applies to every job we do in Orlando. The price we quote is the price you pay. If we discover something unexpected during installation – a rotted frame, a non-standard rough opening – we stop, explain what we found, and agree on any change in writing before touching it. We don’t revise the invoice at the door and hope you won’t notice.
Background-Checked, Uniformed Technicians
You’ll know exactly who is walking through your door. Every Westlight technician is background-checked and wears a company uniform with visible identification. When we give you an arrival window, the person who shows up is someone we’ve vetted, trained, and sent to hundreds of Orlando homes before yours.
Live Phone Coverage, 24/7
Call us at 2 a.m. with a question about your garden window and a real person will answer. Not a voicemail box, not a chatbot, not an automated attendant that routes you through seven menus. A human being who knows windows and can schedule a visit. That’s true 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Real Product Choice
We stock and install eight manufacturer lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. For garden windows specifically, we commonly recommend CGI for impact-rated glass and ECO Window Systems for energy-efficient options, though we also carry Horizontal Roller Windows for other applications. The point is this: we match the window to your home, your climate, and your budget. We don’t force one brand on every job because it’s all we carry.
Garden Windows and Orlando’s Climate
Orlando’s weather is hard on windows. We get 50-plus inches of rain a year, summer temperatures that sit in the 90s for months, and humidity that rarely dips below 60 percent. Then there’s hurricane season from June through November.
A garden window that isn’t sealed correctly will fail fast here. The projection creates more surface area than a flat window, which means more seams for water to find. We use flashing tape and sealant systems rated for Florida’s rain loads, and we set the window so water drains away from the wall, not into it. In neighborhoods like Thornton Park or Winter Park where older homes are common, we frequently see garden windows installed by other companies that sealed only the top and sides, leaving the bottom seam open to wind-driven rain. That’s a fast path to drywall damage and mold.
If you live in a home built before Florida’s stricter building codes took effect, we’ll recommend impact-rated glass. CGI makes garden window units that meet Miami-Dade impact standards, which exceed what Orlando code requires in many cases. The upgrade costs more, but it protects your kitchen and your family during a storm when the window is one of the most vulnerable points in the house.
Low-e glass matters here too. In Orlando, the sun beats on west-facing windows all afternoon. A garden window without low-e coating will turn your kitchen into a greenhouse in July – and not the pleasant kind. With low-e, the glass reflects a significant portion of solar heat back outside while still letting visible light through. Your herbs get the light they need without your air conditioner fighting the window all summer.
What Garden Window Brands We Install in Orlando
We don’t push a single brand on every house. Here are the two we most often recommend for Orlando garden window projects, and why.
CGI Garden Windows
CGI is a Florida company, and their impact-rated glass is built for this climate. If you want a garden window that will hold up to hurricane-force winds and flying debris, CGI is usually our first recommendation. Their garden units come with heavy-duty frames, laminated glass, and hardware tested to Miami-Dade standards. The tradeoff is cost and weight: CGI windows are heavier and more expensive than standard vinyl units. For an Orlando homeowner who wants maximum storm protection and is willing to pay for it, CGI is the right call.
ECO Window Systems Garden Windows
ECO Window Systems builds energy-efficient windows with strong low-e glass packages and solid vinyl frames. Their garden windows are lighter than impact-rated units and cost noticeably less, while still sealing well against Orlando’s humidity and rain. If your home is set back from the coast and you’re more concerned with energy bills than hurricane debris, ECO is a smart choice, while Picture & Fixed Windows work well for non-opening spaces. We install both brands regularly and will walk you through the real differences in person, not over a sales script.
FAQs – Garden Windows
How much does a garden window cost in Orlando?
A garden window in Orlando typically costs $1,400 to $3,800 installed, with most standard-size vinyl units landing between $1,400 and $2,200 and impact-rated or custom-size units running higher. Your written price from Westlight Windows Orlando covers the window, installation, trim, sealing, and cleanup, with no changes at the door. Call (850) 493-7894 for a free measurement and exact quote for your kitchen.
How long does garden window installation take?
A standard garden window installation takes one day. We remove the old window in the morning, reframe and set the new garden unit by early afternoon, and finish interior and exterior trim, sealing, and cleanup before we leave. If the opening needs significant reframing or structural repair, it may stretch to a second day, and we’ll tell you that in writing before work starts.
Are garden windows safe during hurricane season in Orlando?
Garden windows can be built with impact-rated glass that meets Miami-Dade standards, which provides meaningful protection against wind-borne debris and pressure changes during a hurricane. If you want that level of protection, we recommend CGI garden windows, which are engineered specifically for Florida’s storm conditions. A standard garden window without impact glass is not rated for hurricane protection, and we’ll be honest with you about that tradeoff during the quote.
Can you replace my existing garden window, or only install new ones?
We replace existing garden windows regularly. Many Orlando homes have garden windows installed in the 1990s or 2000s that are now fogged, leaking, or sagging, and we remove the old unit, inspect the framing, and install a new one properly sealed for Florida’s climate. The process is the same as a new installation, with the added step of careful removal to avoid damaging the surrounding drywall and exterior finish. Call (850) 493-7894 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s involved.
What is the 365-Day Done Right Promise?
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is our written guarantee that if your garden window installation isn’t done right within one year of completion, we return and correct the work at no charge. This covers seal failures, sagging shelves, leaks, or any workmanship issue. If a repair fails during the guarantee period, you receive a free second visit automatically. Every Westlight customer in Orlando receives this promise in writing at job completion.
