Single & Double Hung Windows in Naples, FL

Single and double hung windows are the most common window style in Naples homes, and they’re also the most commonly installed wrong. A well-fitted hung window operates smoothly, seals tight against Florida humidity, and sits plumb in the opening year after year. At TruePane Windows & Doors, Dale Kessler and our crew have been handling Window Installation the right way for over 42 years – measuring every rough opening twice, shimming to true, and registering both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.

If you’ve got a window that’s sticking, fogging between the panes, or letting in the kind of salt-air draft that shows up on your electric bill, give us a call at (239) 326-9942. A live person picks up around the clock. No voicemail tree, no callback queue – just a straight answer and a time we’ll be there.

This page covers everything specific to single and double hung window installation and replacement in Naples. For the full picture of what we do across every window type and style, visit our Window Installation in Naples page.

The Difference Between Single and Double Hung – and Why It Matters in Naples

A single hung window has one sash that moves – the bottom one slides up, and the top stays fixed. Unlike 3-Panel Sliding (3-Lite Roller) Windows, A double hung has two operable sashes: both the top and bottom slide, which lets you crack the top for ventilation while keeping the bottom closed, or tilt both inward for cleaning without stepping outside.

In Naples, that distinction matters more than it does in most places. With the Gulf Coast’s combination of high humidity, salt air, and summer storm season, your windows work harder than windows in drier climates. Double hung windows – especially tilt-in models – let you clean the exterior glass from inside, which is a real advantage on a second floor or when summer afternoon thunderstorms roll in off the Gulf before you’ve gotten around to the outdoor chores.

Single hung windows cost less upfront and have fewer moving parts, which means fewer things to wear out. For ground-floor openings where exterior cleaning is easy and airflow isn’t a priority, they’re a sensible, durable choice. We don’t push one over the other – we quote both on paper, side by side, so you can see exactly what you’re buying and decide for yourself.

When You Need Single & Double Hung Windows

• Your window won’t stay open – or won’t open at all. Failed balance systems and worn sash hardware are the most common culprits in Naples homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. Once the balance mechanism goes, the sash either drops shut or stays frozen, and patching it rarely lasts more than another season.
• You’re seeing fog or condensation between the panes. That film between the glass layers means the insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. The glass itself hasn’t broken, but the argon is gone and the thermal performance with it. In Naples’ heat, a failed IGU raises your cooling load noticeably – we see this frequently in homes along the Pelican Bay and Park Shore corridors where sun exposure is intense.
• The frame is soft, swollen, or visibly rotted. Wood and older vinyl frames in coastal Naples environments take a beating. Salt-laden air accelerates degradation, particularly on west- and south-facing exposures. If the frame has gone soft, repairing the glass alone doesn’t fix the problem.
• Your energy bills have quietly crept up. If your home has original single-pane aluminum windows – common in Naples construction from the 1970s and early 1980s – you’re air-conditioning the outdoors. Upgrading to a properly installed, low-E double hung with a tight perimeter seal can make a measurable difference in your monthly FPL bill.
• You need impact-rated glass to meet current code. Collier County requires impact-resistant glazing or approved storm shutters on new window installations in most residential zones. If you’re replacing windows without adding a storm shutter system, the replacement unit needs to be impact-rated. We carry and install CGI and ES Windows lines, both of which offer impact-certified single and double hung options that meet Florida Building Code requirements.
• You’re remodeling and the old opening size no longer fits your floor plan. Sometimes a wall change, a kitchen expansion, or an addition shifts where natural light needs to fall. We rough-frame, set headers, and install new hung windows in modified openings – not just drop-in replacements.

Our Single & Double Hung Windows Process

1. Measure the opening – twice, before we quote anything. We don’t estimate from a photo or a rough measurement over the phone. When we come out, we measure the rough opening in multiple points (jamb to jamb, head to sill, and diagonals for square) because openings in older Naples homes are rarely perfectly uniform after decades of settlement and humidity cycling. What we measure is what gets ordered.
2. Quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Depending on your opening size, your impact requirements, and your budget, we’ll show you options from the lines we’re authorized to install – which for hung windows often includes CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, among others. You see the unit cost, the installation labor, and the warranty terms for each option before you decide anything. No pressure, no bait-and-switch on the day of install.
3. Remove the existing window cleanly. Old hung windows in Naples homes often have layers of paint, caulk, and sometimes even patched stucco around the frame. We take the old unit out without tearing up the surrounding wall finish any more than the job requires, and we handle proper disposal.
4. Prep the rough opening and set the new unit true. This is where craft matters most. We check the sill for level, the jambs for plumb, and the opening for square before the new frame goes in. Shims are set systematically, not jammed in wherever they’ll fit. If the pane is not true, the job is not done – that’s the founding rule here, and it governs every install.
5. Flash, seal, and finish to code. Florida’s high-humidity, high-wind environment demands proper flashing and perimeter sealant application. We use compatible sealants for the frame material, apply flashing tape to the sill and head, and finish the interior trim so the install looks like it was always there.
6. Register both warranty layers in writing before we leave. Every TruePane job is backed by The Keystone Standard: the manufacturer’s product warranty and the manufacturer’s installation warranty, both registered in your name, durations stated, paperwork in your hand before our truck leaves the driveway. That’s on top of our own 90-Day Done Right Promise – if something isn’t right in the first 90 days, we come back and fix it. No arguing, no fine print.

Single & Double Hung Windows Pricing in Naples

Single and double hung Window Installation Near Me in Naples, FL typically runs between $400 and $1,200 per window installed, depending on the unit type, glass specification, frame material, and whether the rough opening needs any modification. Impact-rated units with laminated glass sit at the higher end of that range. Here’s how the common scenarios break down:

What moves the number up or down: the size of the unit, the glass package (standard low-E vs. impact laminate vs. impact laminate with low-E coating), frame material (vinyl is less expensive than fiberglass or aluminum-clad wood), and the condition of the existing opening. Homes in older Naples neighborhoods like Coquina Sands or Aqualane Shores sometimes have original wood frames with accumulated layers of paint and caulk that add time to the removal phase.

Multi-window projects almost always pencil out better per unit than single replacements, because setup, crew mobilization, and disposal are shared across the job. If you’re replacing four or more windows, ask us to show you the per-unit difference – it’s usually meaningful.

We offer upfront pricing with no surprise line items on the bill. If you’re a senior or veteran, our permanent 5% discount applies to the full job. And if your repair comes to more than $250, ask about the $50 Off Any Repair Over $250 offer when you call.

Estimates are free, and we don’t charge a trip fee to come measure. Call (239) 326-9942 to set a time.

Why Naples Homeowners Call TruePane

We’ve been doing this work in Southwest Florida for over 42 years. Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 carrying the craft forward from his father’s generation, and the same principle that named the company still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s not a tagline – it’s a measurable standard that every technician on our crew is trained to meet before they sign off on an install.

We’re an authorized installer for the manufacturer lines we carry, which means the warranty we register for you is the manufacturer’s full warranty – not a gray-market or third-party interpretation of it. When we hand you paperwork before we leave, both warranty layers are spelled out: the product coverage and the installation coverage, durations stated, registered in your name.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening before anything gets ordered. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. That matters to us – and based on the calls we get from homeowners in Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, and Estero who found us after a contractor left them with a crooked install and an unreturned phone call, it matters to you too.

A live person answers our phone every hour of every day. If you have a question about a window you had installed ten years ago, or a sash that stopped working in the middle of a storm watch, someone picks up.

FAQs – Single & Double Hung Windows in Naples

How long does it take to replace a single or double hung window in Naples?

Most single or double hung window replacements in an existing rough opening take between one and three hours per window, and most jobs are done in a single visit. The variables are frame condition, whether any carpentry is needed around the opening, and how many windows are on the schedule that day. We don’t leave a job half-done and schedule a second appointment for finish work – if we’re there, we’re finishing it. Call (239) 326-9942 to get a realistic time estimate for your specific job.

Do I need impact-rated windows in Naples, FL?

If you’re replacing windows in a home in Collier County without a separate approved storm shutter system covering each opening, yes – Florida Building Code requires impact-resistant glazing on new window installations in the applicable wind-borne debris regions, which includes most of Naples. Impact-rated single and double hung units from lines like CGI and ES Windows meet those requirements and don’t look any different from a standard unit once they’re installed. We pull the permit and handle the inspection; you don’t have to navigate the county building department yourself.

Is a double hung window worth the extra cost over a single hung in Florida?

For most Naples homeowners, a double hung is worth the modest price difference on any window above ground level, because the tilt-in sashes let you clean both faces of the glass from inside – no ladder, no exterior access required. On the ground floor where exterior access is easy, a single hung is a sensible, durable choice with fewer moving parts than Awning & Hopper Windows. We quote both options on the same sheet so you can see the difference and decide without pressure. There’s no single right answer – it depends on the window’s location and how you use the room.

What’s the difference between TruePane’s 90-Day Done Right Promise and the manufacturer warranty?

The manufacturer warranty covers defects in the product itself – glass, hardware, frame – and it runs for the duration specified by that manufacturer (which varies by line and component). Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation workmanship: how the unit was set, shimmed, flashed, and finished. If anything about how we installed the window isn’t right in the first 90 days, we come back and correct it at no charge – no paperwork fight, no arguing about whose responsibility it is. Under The Keystone Standard, both layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, so you have documentation for both in the same folder.

Key Takeaways

• Single hung windows are lower-cost with fewer moving parts; double hung windows add tilt-in cleaning and upper-sash ventilation – both have a place in Naples homes depending on the opening and the floor.
• Collier County’s Florida Building Code requirements mean most Naples window replacements need impact-rated glazing unless a separate shutter system is in place.
• Installed prices in Naples typically run $400-$1,200 per window depending on unit type, glass specification, and opening condition.
• TruePane registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before leaving the job site, and backs every install with a 90-Day Done Right Promise.
• Estimates are free, pricing is upfront, and a live person answers the phone at (239) 326-9942 any hour of the day.
• Senior and veteran discounts (5%) apply permanently to every job; $50 off any repair over $250 is available – ask when you call.
