Lakeland Window Pros provides professional aluminum windows in Lakeland, FL for residential and commercial properties across west Polk County and the Lakeland lakes. Almost every window we remove in Lakeland is aluminum and almost none of what we install is. That is not prejudice against the metal. The old unbroken frames were built for a code and an energy price that no longer exist, and modern aluminum has a narrow but real use.
The frames coming out of houses built between 1955 and 1985 here are single-glazed, roll-formed and unbroken, which means the interior frame surface tracks the exterior temperature. In a Florida summer they gain heat straight through the metal, and in January they run cold enough to drip onto the stool. Both problems are the same problem, and no glass upgrade fixes it while the frame is a bridge.
Thermally broken aluminum solves it with a poured or crimped polyamide strut separating inside from outside. Done properly, the frame performs well enough to meet the Southern zone requirement and keeps the one property that makes aluminum worth having, which is strength per inch of sightline.
That is the case for aluminum now: large openings and thin frames. A twelve-foot fixed picture unit, a storefront-style ribbon along a lanai, a commercial-grade window in an older Lakeland office. Aluminum spans it with a frame two inches wide where vinyl needs four and still deflects. If the design intent is glass and not frame, this is the material.
Water performance is where aluminum earns respect in this climate. The extrusion process lets a manufacturer build a genuine internal gutter, sloped sills, and end dams that are part of the profile rather than caulked into it. The better commercial-grade aluminum lines carry water test pressures well above anything in a residential vinyl catalog, which is why you see them on the elevations of buildings that face open ground.
The corrosion question comes up and it is mostly misplaced this far inland. Anodized and factory-applied fluoropolymer finishes on aluminum hold up in Polk County without the maintenance a coastal site demands. What does bite is galvanic contact: aluminum against uncoated steel lintels in the older masonry stock, which we isolate at installation rather than discover in five years.
Where we say no: bedrooms and living rooms in an average house. The frame costs more, the thermal edge is still behind vinyl and fiberglass, and you gain sightline in a room where nobody is measuring sightline. Buy aluminum for the wall of glass and buy something else for the rest of the house.
If you have old single-glazed aluminum and a limited budget, replacing the four worst openings on the west and south elevations does more for comfort than replacing twelve on the north. We will map that with you before you commit to a whole-house number, and we will put the phased plan in writing so the second half matches the first when you come back to it in two years. Nothing about a partial job has to look partial.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — compression-sealed bulb gaskets, sloped sill dams, baffled weep slots, interlocking check rails, internal frame gutters, triple-silver solar control glazing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lakeland and nearby communities including Lakeland Highlands, Highland City, Medulla, Willow Oak.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum windows
The difference between aluminum windows that lasts and aluminum windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with compression-sealed bulb gaskets, sloped sill dams, baffled weep slots, interlocking check rails, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Lakeland job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in west Polk County and the Lakeland lakes means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Lakeland Chooses Lakeland Window Pros
- ✓We quote the water test pressure and the design pressure for the exact sizes on your opening schedule, because the figure printed on a brochure is the best case from the smallest unit the manufacturer tested.
- ✓Operating style is specified elevation by elevation rather than house-wide. Compression-sealed casements and awnings go on the walls that take the afternoon storms, and cheaper sliders go where a porch or an oak already does the work.
- ✓We will tell you when the code does not require what somebody is selling. Lakeland sits outside the wind-borne debris region, so opening protection here is a judgement call and we treat it as one instead of a requirement.
- ✓Drainage is built before the unit is set. Sloped sills, baffled weep slots, end dams and a clear path out of the glazing pocket, then a spray test on representative openings before any interior trim goes back on.
