Double Hung Impact Windows in Naples, FL

Double hung impact windows in Naples typically run between $450 and $1,100 per window installed, depending on size, glass package, and frame material. Most single-family homes in Naples complete a full installation in one to two days, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered before the truck leaves the driveway. If you want a straight answer on what your specific openings will cost, call us at (239) 326-9942 – a live person picks up every time, around the clock.

At TruePane Windows & Doors, double hung impact windows are one of the most requested installs we do in Collier County. That is partly geography: Naples sits inside a high-velocity hurricane zone, and Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing or an approved shutter system on every opening. But it is also about the window style itself. Double hung units – where both the upper and lower sash slide vertically and tilt in for cleaning – suit the older homes found in neighborhoods like Park Shore, Aqualane Shores, and Coquina Sands better than most alternatives. The proportions are right for the architecture, and the tilt-in feature matters a lot when second-floor windows sit above a screened lanai you cannot reach with a ladder.

Our Impact Windows & Doors in Naples service covers every opening in the house. This page focuses specifically on double hung units – the sizing particulars, the glazing options, what the installation actually involves, and what honest pricing looks like in this market right now.

Dale Kessler started TruePane in 2008 on a single rule he keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Over 42 years of cumulative glazier experience sit behind every measure and every set we do. We are an authorized installer for CGI, ES Windows, and more than a dozen other manufacturer lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you are buying before anyone picks up a tool.

When You Need Double Hung Impact Windows

Not every Naples home needs a full window replacement right away. But several situations point clearly toward double hung impact units as the right move.

• Your existing windows are single-pane or non-impact rated. Collier County adopted the Florida Building Code high-velocity hurricane zone standards years ago. If your home still has single-pane aluminum windows – common in Naples homes built before 1995 – you are relying on shutters alone for storm protection, and every storm season that math gets older.
• The seals are fogging and the frames are corroding. Salt air off the Gulf accelerates seal failure faster here than it does in inland Florida markets. When the insulated glass unit fogs between the panes, the thermal performance is already gone. We see this regularly in the East Naples and Old Naples corridors, where homes that had windows installed in the late 1990s are hitting the end of their service life at the same time.
• You are paying to cool air that is leaking out. An out-of-true frame – one that has racked slightly over years of Florida humidity cycling – creates gaps that no weatherstrip fully compensates for. If your utility bills have climbed without an obvious cause, degraded window seating is often part of the answer.
• Second-floor windows are becoming impossible to clean safely. In the two-story homes common in Pelican Bay and Tiburon, upper-floor windows are awkward to reach from outside. A double hung unit with tilt-in sashes lets a homeowner clean the glass from inside the room. That is not a luxury feature – for anyone who does not want to stand on a ladder above a barrel tile roof, it is a practical necessity.
• You are renovating and need to bring the whole envelope up to current code. A significant remodel in Naples typically triggers a permit, and that permit often requires bringing windows up to current Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval standards. Replacing with double hung impact units at that point satisfies code, improves the thermal envelope, and often improves resale value in the same step.
• Your insurance carrier is asking questions about your openings. Florida property insurers have tightened underwriting criteria in recent years. Homes with verified impact-rated openings on all sides carry demonstrably better actuarial profiles. Some carriers in Collier County are now issuing non-renewal notices on homes that cannot document impact protection on every opening.

Our Double Hung Impact Windows Process

We do not show up and start pulling frames. Every job starts with measurements and ends with paperwork – in that order, without shortcuts in between.

1. Measure twice, then once more. Rough opening dimensions in older Naples homes are rarely what the original plans say. Wood framing absorbs moisture over forty years and shifts. We measure every opening in three places – top, middle, and bottom – and we note any out-of-square condition before we order. A unit ordered to the wrong dimension means a second truck visit, and that is a problem we solve at the measuring step rather than after delivery.
2. Side-by-side quote on paper. Once we have accurate field dimensions, we pull pricing from the manufacturer lines that fit the opening and your performance requirements. For most Naples homes, CGI and ES Windows are the two we quote most often for double hung impact work – both carry Miami-Dade approvals and both perform well in the coastal salt environment. You see the numbers side by side, the glass package options, and the frame colors, before you make a decision. No pressure, no mystery markup.
3. Permit pull and product approval verification. Impact window installations in Naples require a building permit. We handle the permit application, submit the Florida Product Approval numbers for the units being installed, and schedule the county inspection as part of the job. You do not chase the permit office – we do.
4. Frame removal and rough opening prep. On installation day, we remove the existing frames carefully, inspect the rough opening for moisture intrusion, rot, or prior improper flashing, and address anything we find before the new frame goes in. This step is where a lot of contractors cut time – and where a lot of callbacks originate. We do not skip the opening inspection.
5. Set, shim, flash, and seal. The new double hung frame goes in plumb, level, and square – that is the founding rule in practice. Shimming is done in compression, flashing tape is lapped correctly at the sill, and the exterior perimeter gets a continuous bead of compatible sealant. The sash units go in after the frame is confirmed true. We operate both sashes before the crew moves to the next opening.
6. Warranty registration and walkthrough before we leave. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers – the glass unit warranty and the frame/hardware warranty – are registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. Dale Kessler built TruePane around this step because he spent too many years in the trade watching homeowners try to make warranty claims on products that were never properly registered. We do the walkthrough with you, confirm both sashes tilt in correctly, and hand you the paperwork.

Double Hung Impact Windows Pricing in Naples

Double hung impact windows in Naples typically cost between $450 and $1,100 per window, fully installed. That range is honest for Collier County’s current market. What moves a specific job toward the lower or upper end of that range comes down to a handful of concrete factors.

What affects the final number

• Glass package. Laminated impact glass is the minimum for hurricane zone compliance. High-solar-gain-low-e coatings and argon fill add to the unit cost but reduce cooling load meaningfully in a Naples home that runs air conditioning nine months of the year. We walk through the payback math with you.
• Frame material and color. Extruded aluminum frames are the standard for coastal Florida installations – they handle salt air better than vinyl in this climate. Bronze, white, and custom powder-coat colors all carry different price points.
• Rough opening condition. If the existing frame removal reveals rotted sill framing, moisture-damaged stucco at the perimeter, or improper original flashing, that work gets addressed at cost before the new unit goes in. We do not hide this – we document it and discuss it with you before we proceed.
• Floor level and access. Second-floor openings above a lanai or sloped site take more setup time. That is a real cost, and it is reflected honestly in the quote rather than in a surprise line item on the invoice.
• Permit and inspection fees. Collier County permit fees are included in our project quotes. No separate invoice arrives after the job closes.

We offer $50 off any repair or replacement over $250, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans – no forms to fight, just ask when you call. Estimates are free and carry no obligation. Call (239) 326-9942 and tell us what you have – we will give you a straight range before we even schedule the measure visit.

Why Naples Homeowners Choose TruePane for Double Hung Impact Work

There is no shortage of window companies working Collier County. We are not going to tell you every other bid is wrong – some of them are good work from good companies. What we will say is this: TruePane has been doing this specific type of work, in this specific coastal market, for over 42 years. Dale Kessler grew up in the trade and built TruePane precisely because he was tired of seeing installs that looked fine on the day of and caused problems twelve months later.

A few things we do that are worth asking any contractor about, not just us:

• Do they pull the permit, or do they ask you to pull it? We pull it. Always.
• Do they register both warranty layers before they leave, or do they hand you a card and tell you to call the manufacturer? We register both layers in writing, durations stated, before the truck moves.
• Do they carry background-checked, uniformed technicians, or are they subcontracting to whoever is available this week? Our crews are TruePane technicians who have worked these neighborhoods – Moorings, Royal Harbor, Vineyards, Lely Resort – long enough to know that a homeowner at this stage of life has earned the right to a straight answer and a job done right the first time.
• Do they answer the phone on a Saturday at 7 a.m. when you realize a sash is not seating correctly? We do. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every installation. If something is not right within 90 days of completion, we make it right – no paperwork fight, no arguing about whose fault it is, no fine print that wriggles out of the obvious. That promise is in writing because we are comfortable standing behind it.

FAQs – Double Hung Impact Windows in Naples

Are double hung impact windows up to Florida Building Code for Naples?

Yes – double hung impact windows that carry a Florida Product Approval number meet the opening protection requirements under Florida Building Code for Collier County. The specific approval number must correspond to the exact size, configuration, and installation method used in your home. This is why we submit the product approval documentation with the permit application rather than leaving that verification to the county inspection alone. If you are comparing bids and a contractor cannot produce the Florida Product Approval number for the unit they are quoting, ask for it before you sign anything. Call (239) 326-9942 and we will walk you through what to look for.

How long does a double hung impact window installation take in Naples?

A typical single-story Naples home with ten to fourteen double hung openings takes one full day for an experienced two-person crew. Larger homes, second-floor work, or rough openings that need repair before the new frame goes in can add a half day to a full day. We tell you the honest time estimate at the quote stage – not a range so wide it is meaningless. Most jobs are complete in a single visit, with the inspection scheduled within a few days of completion. We do not leave a job half-done between appointments.

Do double hung impact windows really reduce my insurance premium in Naples?

Opening protection credits vary by insurer and policy structure, but verified impact-rated glazing on all openings generally qualifies a home for a wind mitigation credit in Florida. The credit amount depends on a current wind mitigation inspection report – a licensed inspector documents what is installed and submits that to your carrier. We see homeowners in coastal Naples neighborhoods like Port Royal and Pelican Bay recover meaningful premium reductions after a full impact window installation, though we quote the installation, not the insurance outcome. Your carrier or a licensed inspector can give you the credit estimate for your specific policy. For a free quote on the windows themselves, call us at (239) 326-9942.

Can double hung impact windows be installed in a home with a stucco exterior?

Yes, and it is the standard condition in Naples. Most homes built here after 1980 have stucco over masonry or frame, and the installation process accounts for it. When we remove the existing frame, we cut back the stucco to the rough opening, inspect the framing and sill, flash the perimeter correctly, and patch and seal the stucco edge before the final exterior sealant bead goes on. A cut-corner install skips one or more of those steps – and three years later the homeowner has moisture behind the frame, not inside it where it is obvious. The difference shows up in the opening inspection, not on the finished surface. We document every opening before the new unit goes in.
