Interior door repairs commonly run $50-$250; exterior entry doors $350-$1,050. Window repairs range $70-$1,700 depending on frame and glass, averaging around $405. These are researched third-party ranges, not our prices.
| Job | Researched range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Interior door repair | $50 – $250 | Hinges, latch, warping. Lower end if hardware is standard-sized. |
| Exterior entry door repair | $350 – $1,050 | Higher-end hardware and weatherproofing than an interior door. |
| Window repair (per window) | $70 – $1,700 (avg. ~$405) | Wide range because frame material and glass type both move it. |
| Single-pane glass replacement | $80 – $180 / window | Parts and labor, standard-size pane. |
| Non-standard / historic opening | Older Longwood openings sometimes need custom-cut trim or a special-order size rather than an off-the-shelf slab or sash. |
Longwood's median improved residential parcel was built in 1979, and 66.5% of the city's 4,962 residential parcels were built between 1970 and 1989 -- before today's standardized big-box door slab and window sash sizes. The platted historic core (some parcels dating to the 1880s-founding era) and the National Register Historic District push some openings even further from modern standard sizing. That means the honest range on a Longwood job sometimes has to include time to source or fabricate a non-standard size, not just the labor-and-part figures above.
| Your house was built | Share of city | What a Longwood house of that vintage usually has | What we check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before 1970 | 13.5% | Often retrofitted or added onto rather than built to one plan. Door and window openings are the least likely of any band to match a modern big-box stock size. | Measure the actual opening before ordering anything -- assume nothing is standard. |
| 1970 – 1989 | 66.5% | The dominant band in Longwood, and the median year built (1979) falls inside it. Original hollow-core interior doors, aluminum single-pane windows and wood fascia/trim are now 35-55 years old. | Door and window hardware condition, and whether the original trim profile is even still made. |
| 1990 – 1999 | 6.8% | The smallest band -- Longwood did comparatively little building in the nineties. Doors and windows here are more likely composite or vinyl and closer to today's standard sizing. | Thirty-year-old exterior wood trim and any original deck structure, which is now well into typical repair age. |
| 2000 and later | 13.2% | Built to post-2001 Florida Building Code with standard modern rough openings. Wildmere Village and other newer pockets sit here. | Mostly punch-list, fixture-install and paint-touch-up work rather than structural door/window/deck repair. |
Percentages are from the Seminole County Property Appraiser CAMA extract (n = 4,962 improved residential parcels, city tax district L1, dated 2026-09-05). The "usually has" and "what we check first" columns are our own reading of the housing stock for this trade, not a published statistic -- the only way to know what your house has is to look at it.
A lot of Longwood's housing stock predates the sizing conventions big-box stores build to today. The city's median improved-residential parcel was built in 1979, and two-thirds of the city (66.5%) was built between 1970 and 1989 -- and the platted historic core goes back further still. Openings from that era were often framed to whatever the builder had on hand, not a modern standard size.
Often, yes, with the right router bit or a salvage source -- but it takes more time than swapping a modern profile, and on some older or Historic District homes an exact match may not be commercially available at all. We'll tell you honestly which case you're in before we quote the job.
Simple repair -- fixing hardware, weatherstripping, a sash cord -- generally does not. Full replacement of a door or window unit can, depending on scope; We'll flag it if your job crosses that line.
