Window Replacement in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Palm Beach

Window replacement in Palm Beach costs $850-$2,400 per opening for full-frame units and $600-$1,800 for inserts, with impact-rated windows running $1,100-$3,200 depending on size, frame material, and whether the home falls under Landmarks Preservation Commission review. Most single-home projects land between $9,000 and $40,000 when you account for arched openings, coral-stone surrounds, and the salt-air corrosion that decides which hardware and frames actually last here. Call TruePane Windows & Doors at (386) 251-6745 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree. We measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.

This page is written for homeowners on Palm Beach island specifically. If you live east of the Intracoastal, the rules are different than they are five miles west in West Palm Beach. The salt air comes at your windows from two directions at once, and the older homes carry a preservation review process that most contractors never mention until the stop-work order arrives.

Why Palm Beach Salt Air Decides the Materials, Not the Schedule

Palm Beach sits on a barrier island less than half a mile wide at points. The Atlantic Ocean pushes salt spray across the entire landmass from the east. The Intracoastal Waterway reflects moisture back from the west. Your window frames, hinges, and multi-point locks sit in that double-front salt environment every day of the year, and it corrodes metal at roughly double the rate we see at mainland Palm Beach County addresses just across the bridge. This single fact changes the entire conversation about window replacement in Palm Beach. The schedule is not the hard part. The material spec is.

Aluminum frames pitting and flaking after five to seven years is the most common failure we replace on the island. The sash seals break down where the finish has been eaten away, air leaks start at the corners, and the homeowner notices the air conditioning running longer before they notice the frame damage. Multi-point locking hardware seizes on jamb-mounted strikes because salt accumulates in the track and hardens. Casement windows that once swung open now refuse to lock or open at all. None of these failures happen because the original window was cheap. They happen because the window was specified for an inland building envelope, not a barrier island one.

We see this constantly on the 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival estates that dominate the island. On a 1930s Mizner estate off Worth Avenue, our crew replaced three arched casement windows in a coral-stone surround. The original jamb hardware had seized solid from decades of salt air, and the single-pane sashes were fogged beyond saving. We fabricated impact-rated units with custom muntin profiles to satisfy the Landmarks Preservation Commission, used 316 stainless multi-point hardware throughout, and flashed every rough opening with marine-grade sealant tape. The old steel frames had been corroding from the inside out. The new spec eliminated the corrosion path entirely. That job did not cost what a standard casement replacement costs. It also will not need to be redone in ten years.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Window Replacement Company

Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We are a second-generation glazier’s operation, not a franchise playbook. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying and why one product costs more than another. No surprise line items appear on the bill. No second appointment gets left hanging.

We understand what Palm Beach homeowners are dealing with because we have been in their houses. Arched window heads that standard off-the-shelf units will not fit. Coral-stone surrounds that require careful flashing and custom trim profiles. Landmarks Preservation Commission submittals that require the replacement window to replicate the original divided-light pattern, muntin profile, and exterior color exactly. Contractors who walk onto a designated historic property with a standard impact casement get a stop-work order. We maintain relationships with custom fabricators who build code-compliant, historically sympathetic units, and we shepherd the dual permit and landmark approval process from start to finish.

Every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, with durations stated. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no fine print. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in this community thirty years from now. We hire local and train apprentices into journeymen. When a Palm Beach homeowner calls TruePane, they are calling a company that answers.

Our Window Replacement Services in Palm Beach

Historic Window Restoration

Palm Beach has one of the largest concentrations of Addison Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival architecture in the country, much of it built between the 1920s and 1940s with arched openings, oversized French casements, and coral-stone or stucco surrounds. These homes cannot accept a standard replacement window without ruining the architectural character that gives the property its value. Our Window Replacement team fabricates custom units that clear Florida’s wind-load requirements and replicate the original divided-light patterns, muntin profiles, and exterior colors the Landmarks Preservation Commission requires. We handle the landmark submittal, the permit, and the install as one continuous job.

Full Frame Replacement

When the existing frame is compromised, an insert is not an option. Salt air pitting, rotted wood sills, or out-of-square structural openings in 1920s coral-stone walls mean the entire frame must come out and a new one set, flashed, and sealed properly. Full frame replacement lets us correct the opening, install new construction flanges or brick-mold profiles, and eliminate the air and water paths that caused the original failure. On Palm Beach island, we flash every rough opening with marine-grade sealant tape and spec 316 stainless fasteners and hardware. This material spec is the difference between a window that lasts 15 years and one that fails in seven.

Impact-Rated Window Replacement

Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and design wind speeds on the island push toward the upper end of Florida Building Code requirements. Impact windows are not a luxury upgrade here. They are the code-compliant standard for most replacement work, and they also do double duty against airborne debris and forced-entry attempts. We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, and CGI. We quote the options side by side so you know exactly what each product delivers and what each warranty covers in writing.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade

Single-pane windows and aging aluminum frames are fighting your air conditioning all day on Palm Beach. Reflective heat off the water and pavement makes the exterior surface temperatures brutal in summer, and failed seals let humid salt air into the wall cavity. Low-E insulated glass units with argon fill cut radiant heat gain substantially and reduce the condensation and fogging that plague older coastal windows. The payback on an energy-efficient upgrade in Palm Beach runs fastest when you replace the worst-performing windows first rather than doing the whole house in one pass. We will help you prioritize based on solar exposure and existing seal condition.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

TruePane is an authorized installer for CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and more than a dozen additional manufacturer lines. We maintain direct relationships with factory technical teams, which matters when a custom arched unit needs a specific muntin profile or a marine-grade finish spec. For Palm Beach homeowners, that means shorter lead times on custom fabrications and a warranty trail that is registered in writing before we leave the driveway. We do not push one brand. We quote what fits the opening, the wind-load requirement, and the preservation constraints, then show you the numbers on paper.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Dual-front salt corrosion on frames and hardware. Atlantic spray from the east and Intracoastal moisture from the west corrode aluminum frames, hinges, and multi-point locks at roughly double the rate of mainland addresses. Frames pit and flake within five to seven years; hardware seizes and windows become impossible to open or lock. The fix is a coastal-spec replacement with 316 stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes.
• Failed seals on insulated glass units. The constant humidity and temperature swings on the island cause glass units to expand and contract aggressively. Once the seal fails, the window fogs from the inside and loses its insulating value. A fogged sash cannot be resealed. It must be replaced or the entire sash rebuilt.
• Out-of-square openings in 1920s coral-stone walls. Structural walls in Mizner-era estates shift over decades, and standard replacement windows installed into an out-of-square opening will bow. The bow breaks the seal on the insulated glass unit and leads to interior fog within a year or two. Correcting this requires a full-frame replacement with the opening squared, flashed, and shimmed properly.
• Jalousie windows in 1950s and 1960s homes. A secondary layer of mid-century luxury homes on the island still carries jalousie windows, which leak air constantly and offer near-zero impact protection. These openings cannot be retrofitted with inserts. They need full-frame replacement with impact-rated units, which modernizes the home and brings it into code compliance.
