Tired of Old Windows? Start Here
Foggy glass between the panes. A frame that sticks every August. A draft you can feel from the couch. If two or more windows in your home have reached that point, you are in the right spot.
Stormcritics Windows & Siding is a referral service for Apopka and the Apopka area. We do not swap windows or hang siding ourselves. We connect you with an independent local provider in our network who handles home window replacement and can talk through your project.
Here is the simple path. You call or send a request. We ask a few plain questions: how many windows, what type of home, what is bothering you. Then we route you to a provider who takes on that kind of job. The provider gives you the real answers on scope, timing and price.
Request an Estimate
One note on fit. Our calls are for replacement projects of two or more windows. Fixing a single cracked pane or a sticky sash is a repair, and this network is not set up for that. Siding help is here too, for homeowners planning new siding.
Request a callback to check provider availability. Would you rather write it out? Send a request for an estimate. There is no obligation either way.
How It Works
Who we are, in plain terms
Stormcritics Windows & Siding is a referral service. That is the whole job. We are not a window company, a siding crew or a contractor. Independent providers do the measuring, ordering and installing. They run their own businesses and set their own schedules and prices.
How your request travels
- You reach out by phone or by the request form.
- We note your town, how many windows, and what you want done.
- We route the request to a provider in our network that serves your area.
- The provider contacts you and puts the details in a written quote.
You decide what happens next. You are under no obligation to say yes. Call hours vary by provider, so your call may be answered by a provider in the network or routed to one.
What you can safely do yourself
A lot of the prep is yours, and it helps the quote come out accurate.
- Count the windows that need replacing and list the rooms.
- Take clear photos inside and outside of each one.
- Press a screwdriver tip gently into the sill and frame. Soft wood is worth mentioning.
- Note fogged glass, stuck sashes, drafts and any water stains.
- Clear furniture and curtains from the area before the visit.
Where to stop and let a pro take over
Pulling out old units, checking the opening, flashing, sealing and setting new windows takes the right tools and know-how. A badly set window can leak behind the wall where you cannot see it. Heavy glass and second-story ladder work add real risk. Masonry openings in block homes, and any product rated for storms, also call for someone who does this every week. Leave that part to the provider.
Serving Apopka and Beyond
Stormcritics Windows & Siding takes requests from Apopka and across the Apopka area. Providers in our network each cover their own stretch of the map, so we match you by where your home sits, not by a one-size list.
Homes here come in a few familiar types. Many are concrete block houses on slabs, some with tile roofs and some with shingles. Plenty of neighborhoods were built from the 1970s through the 2000s, and condos are common too. Each type brings its own questions about openings, frames and approvals, and a local provider will know what to ask.
Climate matters as well. Humidity stays high most of the year, summer storms roll in almost daily, and hurricane season runs from June to November. Windows and siding here work hard. A provider who works in this weather every week can explain what holds up and what does not.

Not sure whether your address is covered? Request a callback to check provider availability, or send a request and mention your town. If no provider in the network serves your street, we will tell you plainly.
What Local Homeowners Should Know Before Replacing Windows
Humidity is hard on windows
Damp air swells wood, loosens seals and invites mildew along the sill. If you see fog between panes or black spots on a frame, write it down. These are good details to share with a provider.
Storm season shapes the project
With storms most summer afternoons and a long hurricane season, timing and product choice matter. Ask the provider about impact-rated options and what local building rules call for.
Block homes need the right approach
Concrete block openings are not framed like a wood house. The provider has to measure carefully and set each window so water cannot sneak in around it. This is not a weekend DIY swap.
Condos and subdivisions have extra steps
If you live in a condo or a managed neighborhood, check your association rules first. Some set limits on window style, color or who may do exterior work. Bring those rules to the first conversation.
Energy efficient windows, honestly
Energy efficient windows can help keep rooms steadier in a hot, humid climate. They are not magic, and savings vary by home. Ask the provider what glass and frame options fit your house and budget.
Vinyl siding and residential siding contractors
Vinyl siding is a common choice because it is light and handles moisture well. If siding is on your list, Stormcritics Windows & Siding can route you to a provider from the network. Ask how they handle the wall underneath.
Before you reach out: a short checklist
Walk the house and count your windows. Snap photos. Note the problems. Look up any condo rules. Then call or send a request. With that in hand, the provider can quote more clearly. Costs vary by job, so always ask for a written quote.
