AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Greenacres
Our Window Replacement in Greenacres usually means one thing: pulling out a 1970s jalousie unit and rebuilding the masonry opening to accept a modern, code-rated window. That’s the job we do most often here, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know exactly what the block walls on Greenacres’s CBS ranch homes require. A typical full replacement runs $850-$1,400 per opening for a standard single or double hung, installed and permitted. If you’re getting insurance pressure to upgrade, or if your original windows are leaking air and fogging, call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate. We’ll send a background-checked technician who measures twice and quotes on paper.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’re not a franchise rolling through town. TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the crew that shows up at your house in Greenacres is one he trained. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. That matters when you’re trying to figure out whether your insurer will renew your policy, or whether the window you’re looking at actually carries a Florida Product Approval number.
Greenacres homeowners deal with a specific set of problems: jalousie windows that crank open but never seal, aluminum frames corroded by afternoon storm moisture, and insurance letters demanding impact-rated glazing. We know those houses. We’ve pulled enough failing louver units out of CBS walls to know the rough opening is rarely square and never standard. Our technician will tell you the truth about what needs rebuilding and what doesn’t, and our Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fight. No fine print that covers neither.
We serve all of Greenacres, from the neighborhoods off Jog Road to the older blocks near Lake Worth Road, and we’re typically on site within a day or two of your call. Every quote includes both warranty layers registered in writing under Window Installation standards we’ve kept since 2008 of community service. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay. That’s a square deal, and it’s how we’ve built our reputation here.
Our Window Installation Services in Greenacres
Most Greenacres homes need a full replacement, not a retrofit. Here’s what that looks like for the styles we install most often in this part of Palm Beach County.
Fixed & Picture Windows
For the front-facing window in a Greenacres living room, a fixed picture window is the cleanest way to bring in light without the air leakage of an old jalousie. We set these into rebuilt masonry openings with proper flashing and a fused frame, not a retrofit shoehorned into a pocket that’s too shallow. Expect $700-$1,200 per opening for a standard size with impact-rated glazing. The seal won’t fog, and the frame won’t flex in a September afternoon storm.
Casement Windows
Casements seal tighter than any other operable style, which matters in Greenacres where west-facing walls catch the brunt of convective rainfall coming off the Everglades. We install them with multi-point locking hardware and a crank mechanism that holds up to humidity better than a sliding sash. A typical casement replacement in Greenacres runs $900-$1,500 per opening depending on size and glass package. We recommend Impact Windows & Doors in Greenacres on every casement here, even on the inland side of the house.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are the standard replacement for a jalousie bay in a Greenacres bedroom. They’re easy to clean, they lock securely, and when we set them into a rebuilt block pocket, they’re airtight. Prices for a standard double hung run $850-$1,400 installed with permit and product approval number on the quote. On a 1978 CBS ranch off Jog Road, we pulled a failing aluminum jalousie and found the rough opening had been hand-formed around non-standard 47-inch louvers. We reframed the block pocket, sealed it with flashing tape, and set a Simonton double-hung with impact-rated glazing, argon fill, and a U-factor of 0.30. That turned an uninsurable louver wall into a code-rated, Energy-Efficient Windows in Greenacres opening.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Greenacres homes we most often quote because they carry the Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval ratings this market demands. We also work with PGT and CGI, which are common in Palm Beach County for their impact glazing. We don’t push one brand. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Jalousie windows that can’t be retrofitted: The louvered glass units on Greenacres’s 1970s ranches have no shutter that fits them cleanly and no impact rating. Quoting a low-E insert into that shallow masonry pocket is a rookie mistake; the sash binds and the seal fails within two seasons. The right fix is a full teardown and a rebuilt rough opening.
- Insurance non-renewals over missing product approvals: If your window quote doesn’t include a Florida Product Approval number and a Palm Beach County permit, your insurer can deny the wind-mitigation credit and non-renew the policy anyway. We pull the permit and document the approval on every Greenacres install.
- West-facing seal and frame failure: Greenacres sits about 12-15 miles inland, but the afternoon convective storms still drive moisture hard against west- and southwest-facing windows. On older aluminum frames, that means corrosion and fogged seals. On a properly installed impact window, it means nothing. That’s the difference.
- Spalled stucco around the opening: Before we set any window into a CBS wall, we check the stucco around the rough opening. If it’s chipped or spalled, we repair it before flashing, because a flush seal is the whole game. Skipping that step is how water gets behind the jamb and rots the buck frame.
Pricing for Window Installation in Greenacres, FL
A standard single or double hung replacement in Greenacres runs $850-$1,400 per opening, installed, permitted, and with impact-rated glazing. Casement windows run $900-$1,500. Fixed picture windows run $700-$1,200. Bay and bow windows, which we do less often here but certainly handle, start around $2,500 and go up depending on projection and glass package.
What moves the number on your quote? The condition of the rough opening. If we’re pulling a jalousie out of a block wall, there’s masonry rebuild work that doesn’t exist on newer frame construction in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach. The size of the opening matters, and so does the glass package: impact-rated laminated glass costs more than standard but it’s what your insurer wants to see. Every quote is line-itemed on paper, no surprises on the bill. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk through the numbers with you.

FAQs - Window Installation in Greenacres
Yes. Greenacres sits within Palm Beach County’s high-wind-borne debris zone, which means the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated or shutter-protected glazing whether you’re on the coast or 12 miles inland. Your insurer enforces this regardless of your distance from the ocean. We install impact-rated windows with documented product approval numbers on every Greenacres job because it’s the only way to keep the wind-mitigation credit on your policy. Call (786) 829-6722 for an exact quote on compliant windows for your house.
Shutters don’t fit jalousie windows cleanly, and most insurers won’t accept a shutter retrofit over a louvered unit as a wind-mitigation measure anyway. The louver glass is essentially unprotectable and uninsurable. The cost of replacing those jalousie windows with impact-rated fixed or hung units is usually less than the premium increases you’re facing, and it eliminates the problem instead of covering it up. We quote the full replacement, not a retrofit, because that’s what actually satisfies the code and the carrier.
A compliant quote includes the Florida Product Approval number for the specific window being installed, the Palm Beach County permit fee, the masonry rough-opening rebuild work, and the flashing and sealing materials needed for a CBS wall. A cheap quote omits the permit and product approval documentation, skips the stucco repair, and hopes you won’t notice until the insurer denies your wind-mitigation credit. Every TruePane quote includes those items as line items on paper, with both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
Look for fogging or condensation between the glass panes that you can’t wipe away from either side. That’s a failed seal, and it’s common on Greenacres’s original aluminum windows after decades of afternoon storm moisture. You’ll also notice drafts around the frame and a higher cooling bill in July. If you see that on a jalousie or an original single-pane unit, the fix is a full replacement, not a repair. Call us for a free inspection and we’ll tell you what’s actually happening.
Often, yes, but only if the replacement is documented correctly. The insurer needs to see a Florida Product Approval number matching the installed window, a Palm Beach County permit, and proof that the opening was rebuilt to code. When we finish a Greenacres install, we provide that documentation. Homeowners who move from unrated jalousie windows to impact-rated units typically qualify for a wind-mitigation credit at renewal. Ask your carrier for the specifics, and we’ll make sure the paperwork matches what they’re looking for.
If you live in Greenacres and you’re staring at jalousie windows, original aluminum frames, or an insurance letter demanding impact-rated glazing, call (786) 829-6722. We’ll come out, measure every opening twice, and give you a written estimate that shows exactly what the job costs and what code it’s built to. This is what we’ve done since 2008, and we stand behind it.
