Frequently Asked Questions - Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach, FL

Pricing & Cost FAQs
Window replacement in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $650 to $1,300 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass package. A full-home job of 10 to 15 windows commonly lands between $8,000 and $18,000. Impact-rated glass required in much of Palm Beach County pushes costs toward the higher end, and second-story work adds labor. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each tier costs. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free written estimate with line-item pricing, no surprises on the bill.
A new front door in Royal Palm Beach costs between $1,800 and $5,500 installed, with fiberglass running $1,800 to $3,200 and steel or solid wood landing in the $2,500 to $5,500 range. Decorative glass, sidelights, and impact-rated cores shift the price upward. Door jobs in neighborhoods like Westlake and Wellington often include new framing and hardware, which is quoted separately. The best way to pin down your number is a free in-home estimate. Call (386) 251-6745 and we'll measure, price, and walk you through every option.
Sliding glass door replacement in Royal Palm Beach typically costs $2,200 to $5,800 installed. Standard 6-foot vinyl sliders sit at the lower end, while wider 8-to-12-foot multi-panel units and impact-rated glass climb higher. Homes in Loxahatchee Groves and Palm Beach Gardens with oversized patio openings frequently fall in the $4,000-plus range. We measure every opening twice and quote the exact model, glass package, and labor before any work begins. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate on your slider.
Yes, impact windows cost more than standard glass, typically 30% to 50% more per opening. In Royal Palm Beach, where hurricane codes require impact-rated or shuttered openings in many homes, a standard window may run $650 to $900 while the impact-rated equivalent lands at $950 to $1,400. The added cost buys laminated glass that holds together under debris impact and often qualifies you for insurance premium reductions. We install impact-rated lines from ECO Window Systems and can quote both tiers side by side. Call (386) 251-6745 to compare your options.
No, not on a TruePane job. We quote fixed pricing in writing before you sign, and that number holds unless you ask us to change the scope: add a window, swap a material, or repair framing we couldn't see until the old unit came out. If we find rotted framing behind an existing window, we show you, explain the fix, and get your approval before spending a dollar more. That's the square deal. For a fixed written quote in Royal Palm Beach, call (386) 251-6745.
Yes, free estimates, always. A TruePane estimator comes to your home in Royal Palm Beach or any of our service areas, including Westgate, Atlantis, and Greenacres, measures your openings, and walks you through your options with written pricing. You get line-item numbers for each window or door, each material tier, and each labor item. No charge, no obligation, no pressure. Call (386) 251-6745 to schedule yours.
Service & Process FAQs
It starts with a free in-home estimate. We measure every opening twice, photograph the existing units, and put your options on paper with line-item pricing. Once you approve, we order your windows or doors, schedule your install date, and handle the tear-out, framing, installation, insulation, trim, and cleanup. A typical full-home window replacement in Royal Palm Beach takes one to three days. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (386) 251-6745 to begin with a free estimate.
Yes, when permits are required. Window and door replacement in Royal Palm Beach often triggers permit requirements under Palm Beach County building codes, especially when opening sizes change or impact-rated products are involved. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure the job passes. You won't have to chase paperwork at the county office. If you have questions about whether your job needs a permit, call (386) 251-6745 and we'll walk you through it.
Most single-day window replacements in Royal Palm Beach take 45 to 90 minutes per window, depending on accessibility and framing condition. A whole-home job of 12 to 20 windows typically runs two to three days. Sliding glass door replacement adds half a day. Weather, permit inspections, and hidden framing repairs can stretch a schedule, and we'll tell you about any of those as soon as we know. To get a realistic timeline for your home, call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate.
Yes, the old unit comes out and the new unit goes in on the same visit. We don't remove windows and come back later unless circumstances make it necessary: a framing problem that needs repair, an inspection delay, or an order issue. In Royal Palm Beach, our typical process is measure, order, schedule, install in one visit per area of the home. You'll know the timeline before we start. Call (386) 251-6745 to schedule your project.
Yes, in most cases. If you're replacing one failed window in a row of five, we can match the style, grid pattern, frame color, and glass tint closely enough that the new unit doesn't stand out. Exact matches depend on the original manufacturer and whether the line is still in production. For Royal Palm Beach homes where the original windows were discontinued, we can source equivalent models or custom-order replacements. Bring us a photo and we'll tell you what's possible. Call (386) 251-6745.
Replacing all at once is usually the better value. You get better per-window pricing on materials and labor, one permit cycle, one install crew visit, and consistent appearance across the home. Phased replacement works if budget demands it, but you'll pay more per window and live with mismatched units until the job is done. In Royal Palm Beach, many homeowners replace the street-facing windows first, then finish the rest later. We'll quote either way. Call (386) 251-6745 for a free estimate on partial or full replacement.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install lines from ECO Window Systems, Andersen, and Pella. Each brand has strengths: ECO Window Systems offer strong impact-rated and energy-efficient options at approachable price points, while Andersen and Pella carry wide style and customization ranges. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can compare cost, warranty, and performance directly. The right brand for your Royal Palm Beach home depends on your opening sizes, exposure, and budget. Call (386) 251-6745 to talk it through.
Fogged double-pane windows usually need glass replacement, not repair. When the seal between the panes fails, moisture creeps in and condenses between the glass layers. Cleaning won't fix it. In Royal Palm Beach's humidity, seal failure also accelerates energy loss and can lead to mildew in the frame. We replace the insulated glass unit, often for less than a full window replacement, and the new glass carries its own warranty. Call (386) 251-6745 and we'll inspect the fogged unit and quote the fix.
Both, depending on what's wrong. If the frame is solid and only the glass or seal failed, we replace the insulated glass unit only, which saves money. If the frame is rotted, warped, or out of true, we replace the whole window. In Royal Palm Beach, salt air and humidity take a toll on frames faster than in drier climates, so we inspect the entire opening before recommending glass-only work. We'll show you the condition of your frames and let you decide. Call (386) 251-6745 for an honest assessment.
Impact-rated laminated glass is the best choice for most Royal Palm Beach homes. It meets Palm Beach County hurricane code requirements, blocks windborne debris, reduces UV fading, and cuts outside noise. Low-E coatings help with energy efficiency, and argon-filled double panes improve insulation. For sliding doors and large windows facing west or east, we often recommend a lower solar heat gain coefficient to manage Florida sun. We'll spec the right glass package for each opening. Call (386) 251-6745 to review your options.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Yes. Every pro working under the TruePane name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and we carry the coverage appropriate for residential window and door work in Florida. We pull permits when the job calls for them and schedule the inspections that go with those permits. Dale Kessler has led this branch with a simple standard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (386) 251-6745 and ask us any licensing question you want answered.
TruePane installers work under our name and our standards, and each one is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We train journeymen, we measure every opening twice, and we stand behind the work with the Keystone Standard. You'll know who's coming to your Royal Palm Beach home, what they're doing, and how long it will take. Call (386) 251-6745 if you'd like to talk through how we staff your project.
Yes, our team carries the coverage appropriate for residential window and door work in Florida, including liability insurance and workers' compensation as required. You should never allow an uninsured crew to work on your home. In Royal Palm Beach, a fall from a second-story window opening or a broken pane can turn into a claim against your homeowners policy if the contractor is uninsured. That's not a risk we'll let you take. Call (386) 251-6745 to ask about our coverage directly.
Emergency & Response FAQs
Yes, we handle emergency board-up and stabilization for broken windows and doors in Royal Palm Beach and nearby communities like West Palm Beach, Greenacres, and Palm Springs. If a window is shattered or a door won't close, the first priority is securing your home against weather, pests, and intruders. We board the opening, assess the damage, and get your replacement ordered. Our hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM. Call (386) 251-6745 and we'll send someone out.
First, keep everyone away from the broken glass and the opening. If the window is shattered and weather is coming in, cover the opening from the inside with a blanket, tarp, or plywood if you can do so safely. Don't attempt to remove large shards or climb on anything to reach a high window. Then call (386) 251-6745. We'll board the opening, measure for replacement, and walk you through the process. In Royal Palm Beach, storm season and summer storms can catch you off guard, so call us as soon as the immediate danger passes.
We schedule board-up and stabilization visits as soon as we can during our open hours, which are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM. If you call during open hours with a broken window or door in Royal Palm Beach, a live coordinator answers and connects you with the local team. For the fastest response, call (386) 251-6745 and describe the damage. We'll get you on the schedule and tell you what to expect.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every TruePane installation carries two warranty layers: the manufacturer's warranty on the window or door itself and 90 days on our workmanship. We register both layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. The manufacturer covers glass, seals, and frame defects per their stated terms, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation: plumb, square, sealed, and true. If something's not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing. That's the Keystone Standard. Call (386) 251-6745 with any warranty question.
Our 90-day workmanship warranty covers the quality of our installation: framing, sealing, anchoring, trim, and fit. If a window binds, a door drags, or a seal we installed fails in the first 90 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. It runs alongside the manufacturer's warranty, so you're protected on both the product and the work. That's what Dale Kessler has stood behind since this branch opened in Royal Palm Beach. Call (386) 251-6745 if you ever have a question about coverage.
Yes, we register both layers of the warranty before the truck leaves your driveway. The manufacturer's warranty on your windows or doors is registered in your name, with your home address, the product model, and the installation date. Our 90-day workmanship warranty is documented in writing as well. You'll have the paperwork in hand, not a promise you have to remember. If you ever need to file a claim, call (386) 251-6745 and we'll help you through it.
We're the local Royal Palm Beach branch of a company that has been truing panes since 2008. Dale Kessler runs things here with the same standard the brand was built on: measure every opening twice, quote the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, no arguing. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer the phone with a person. Call (386) 251-6745 and you'll see the difference.
