Fast, Reliable Window Installation Across Conway
Window installation in Conway runs anywhere from $850 for a basic single-hung retrofit to $4,200 or more for a custom picture window with impact glass, and most projects land in the $1,400 – $2,800 range installed. The price swings on three things: whether your home sits on septic and well setbacks that trigger Orange County permitting reviews, which manufacturer line fits the house, and how many openings need work. We’ve been installing windows in Conway since 2009, and we know the permitting path here better than anyone who doesn’t live it. Call (850) 493-7894 and we’ll walk your property, scope the job, and hand you a written price before any work starts.
Why Westlight Windows Orlando Is Conway’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Conway homeowners have a specific set of frustrations: contractors who quote over the phone, show up late, and then rewrite the invoice at the door. Owen Satterfield built Westlight to do the opposite of that. Every job starts with a site walk and a written price. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed. And every promise is on paper, not just spoken.
We serve Conway directly, which means we know the unincorporated Orange County code path, the drainage patterns on low-lying lots near Lake Conway, and the difference between a 1962 block ranch off Lake Margaret Drive and a 2018 custom build near the chain of lakes. That local knowledge changes how we scope a job, and it keeps permits moving instead of stalling.
Our Conway customers consistently mention three things: the price they were quoted is the price they paid, the crew left the site cleaner than they found it, and someone answered the phone when they called. That last one matters more than people expect. Our line is staffed by a live person 24/7. Not a voicemail box.
Picture Window in Conway
A picture window in Conway is a fixed, non-operable glass unit that frames a view, and on this side of Orange County, the view is usually lake water, cypress, or a long green lot. These units run $1,100 – $3,800 installed, depending on glass size, whether you need impact-rated glazing, and how the surrounding framing is built out. On lakefront acreage, many homeowners choose picture windows to replace jalousie banks, which means larger rough openings and more structural header work.
Impact Glass and Lakefront Exposure
Homes on the Conway Chain of Lakes sit exposed to driving rain and wind that homes in the interior of Orlando never feel. A picture window on a western-facing lakefront wall takes the full force of afternoon summer storms. We spec laminated impact glass for those openings as standard, not as an upsell. The right glazing also knocks down the heat load from direct afternoon sun, which in July and August is the single biggest driver of cooling cost in Conway.
Scope Before the Quote
Before we price a picture window, we check the rough opening, the header condition, and whether the existing frame is anchored into block or wood buck. Older Conway block homes often have window openings that are not square, and shimming a large fixed unit into an out-of-square wall requires a different install plan and slightly different trim work. That is why we walk the site first and price from what we see, not from a phone description.
Bay Window Installation in Conway
Bay window installation in Conway projects a three-panel glass assembly outward from the wall, usually a fixed center panel with operable side vents, and costs $2,400 – $5,600 for a full replacement on a block ranch home. The range is wider here than in most parts of central Florida because Conway’s older mid-century homes often need the entire bay box rebuilt, including the seat board, knee braces, and roof flashing. A bay window on an exterior block wall also requires more involved waterproofing than a simple flush-mount window.
Replacing a Leaking Bay on a 1960s Block Home
We see a recurring failure on Conway block homes: the original bay window was flashed with nothing more than caulk against raw concrete, and forty years of afternoon storms have worked water behind the flashing. When we rebuild the bay, we install a sloped sill pan, backer rod, and a continuous flashing tape system that directs water outward and down, away from the rough opening. If the original cantilevered seat has rotted, we rebuild it with pressure-treated lumber before the new bay unit goes in. That is not extra scope; that is what it takes to keep the window in for thirty years.
Bay Windows on Acreage ADUs
Detached accessory dwelling units and lake houses on Conway acreage often include a small bay or garden bump-out that overlooks the property. These windows get missed during initial scope more often than you’d expect, and then the final wind mitigation inspection catches the omission. We walk every structure on the lot during our estimate, not just the main house, because Orange County inspects them all.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We carry eight manufacturer lines, and for Conway’s mix of older block homes and lakefront builds we lean most on PGT, CGI, and ECO Window Systems. PGT and CGI produce Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact windows that meet Orange County wind-load standards on exposed lakefront lots. ECO Window Systems builds a strong energy-efficient thermal break that helps older homes cut cooling cost. We stock local replacement parts for these lines in our service vehicles, so warranty repairs and sash replacements for Conway customers usually happen in one visit, not three. You get a real brand with a real warranty, not a white-label window with no manufacturer behind it.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Conway Homes
- County permit rejection after installation starts. Unincorporated Conway acreage often triggers Orange County septic and well setback reviews on window work. If the new window footprint changes the structure’s setback from a drainfield or well casing, the permit stalls. We pull the site plan and check setbacks before we quote, so this never blindsides our Conway customers.
- Vibration damage from long hauls down unpaved lakefront access roads. Picture window units and large bay assemblies are heavy; driving them down rutted dirt roads without proper cushioning can crack the seal or stress the frame. We pre-scope the access route and bring the right trailer equipment, which is a step most window crews skip entirely.
- Jalousie window replacement that ignores the wall structure. Many 1950s-70s Conway block homes have jalousie windows set in thin aluminum buck frames. Prying those out without checking the concrete lintel and surrounding block can shift the wall. We inspect the lintel before removal and reinforce the opening where needed.
- Missing outbuilding windows during initial scope. Detached shops, sheds, and ADUs on Conway acreage need impact-rated openings if the structure is part of a wind mitigation inspection. Missing them during scope means a failed final inspection and a second permit pull. We include every structure on the lot in our written estimate.

FAQs About Window Installation in Conway
Orange County reviews window replacement and installation permits against your septic drainfield and potable well setbacks when the new window footprint changes any exterior wall dimension or building envelope line. If the opening grows, the wall shifts, or you’re adding a bay or garden window that extends the structure, the county checks the new projection against setback minimums. We pull your lot’s site plan before quoting and flag any setback review so you are not hit with a rejection notice mid-job. Call (850) 493-7894 and we’ll walk your property and check this for free.
Yes, and we have direct evidence from Conway. We retrofitted a 1960s block home off Lake Margaret Drive where original jalousie windows rattled in afternoon storms; our crew installed Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated PGT double-hungs with laminated glass interlayers, and the owner saw cooling bills drop 31% within two months. Jalousie windows leak conditioned air continuously, and replacing them with sealed low-e impact glass stops both the air loss and the solar heat gain. For an exact quote on your home, call (850) 493-7894.
If the detached structure is part of your final wind mitigation inspection, which unincorporated Orange County requires for any permitted addition or major renovation on acreage, then yes, the windows in that structure must meet the same impact standards as the main house. Missing a shop or ADU during initial window scope is one of the most common causes of failed final inspections we see in Conway. We include every building on your lot in our estimate so the scope is right the first time. Call (850) 493-7894 for a free site walk.
Before we quote, we drive the access route from the paved road to the structure, check turn clearances, overhead obstructions, and gate widths, and note whether the road surface is asphalt, gravel, or unpaved lakefront track. Large picture windows and bay assemblies ride on vibration-dampening racks, and we stage materials on site the day before installation when the route is rough. This pre-scoping is part of our free estimate and prevents framing damage from transit vibration. Call (850) 493-7894 and we’ll map your access route.
Yes. A low-lying Conway lot with poor drainage directs water toward the base of exterior walls, which accelerates frame rot and flashing failure under new windows. Before we install, we check the final grade around each opening and confirm that downspouts and swales move water away from the wall. If the grade runs toward the house, we recommend a drainage correction before or during the window job, because a new window sealed into a wall that sits in standing water will fail early. We’ll flag this during our free estimate. Call (850) 493-7894 to schedule one.
