AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Greenacres
Window replacement in Greenacres, FL typically runs $600-$1,200 per opening for a standard vinyl insert, and $1,400-$2,800 per opening when you’re pulling the full frame out of a concrete block wall to get an impact-rated unit in. Most Greenacres homes we see are 1970s and early 1980s CBS ranch houses with original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows, and the work usually takes one to two days depending on how many openings and whether we’re doing a straight insert or cutting new rough openings in block. If your insurer is pushing you toward impact glass, the conversation changes. Call us at (786) 829-6722 and we’ll give you a real number, on paper, before you commit to anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve spent more than years replacing windows in South Florida’s older CBS homes, and Greenacres has more of them per square mile than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule he keeps on the whiteboard to this day: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means our technicians measure every opening twice, shim and foam precisely, and don’t leave until the window operates square and the seal is seated.
Our Greenacres customers are usually dealing with one of two things: an insurance cancellation notice tied to old jalousie windows, or fogged seals and binding frames on original aluminum units. Both are fixable the right way. We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call (786) 829-6722, you’re talking to someone in our South Florida dispatch office who can schedule a Greenacres visit, not a voicemail tree.
Every job comes with The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. And our Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing. That’s the standard we’ve held in Greenacres since day one.
Our Window Replacement Services in Greenacres
Full Frame Replacement
Most Greenacres ranch homes have windows set directly into concrete block openings, so a full frame replacement means carefully removing the old frame, cleaning the masonry rough opening, and setting a new unit with shims and low-expansion foam done right. This is where a lot of crews get sloppy. If the rough opening isn’t squared and sealed, you’ll hear wind whistle through the gap and feel humidity creeping in around the trim. We do this work on jalousie-to-impact conversions constantly, and we know what the 1970s block dimensions actually measure versus what the original window label says.
Impact Window Replacement
This is the dominant conversation in Greenacres right now. Insurers across Palm Beach County are requiring Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade rated impact glass as a condition of keeping the policy in force, especially on homes still running original jalousie or single-pane aluminum. We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we quote impact lines side by side on paper so you can see the exact cost difference between a, a PGT, and a CGI unit before you decide. No one should buy impact windows off a verbal quote.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Greenacres sits about 12 to 15 miles inland, which means the afternoon convective storms that roll through in summer hit west- and southwest-facing windows hard. Low-E coated glass and argon-filled insulated units cut the radiant heat load and slow seal failure on those exposures. For block homes, we often recommend a warm-edge spacer and a tighter low-E coating on the west side specifically, because that’s where Greenacres sun does the most damage. The cost difference between a standard insulated window and a high-performance low-E one is usually $80-$180 per opening, and it pays back in Florida Power & Light savings faster than most people expect.
Storm Window Replacement
Some Greenacres homeowners want to keep their original aluminum frames but add a second layer of protection. We’ll be straight with you: on jalousie windows, storm panels don’t work, because no shutter or secondary glazing system fits those louvered sashes cleanly. Replacing the whole unit is almost always the only real answer, and it’s the recommendation we make first. If your home has a later-model window with a sound frame, a storm upgrade can buy you time, but we’ll tell you if it’s worth it before we quote it.

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 their impact-rated and high-performance glass lines hold up under Palm Beach County sun and storm cycles. We keep common parts and hardware for these brands on our trucks when we dispatch to Greenacres, so a sash replacement or hardware adjustment doesn’t turn into a second visit. We stock local inventory because Greenacres homeowners shouldn’t wait a week for a part that any prepared glazier should already carry.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Insurance-driven jalousie replacement: Jalousie windows on 1970s ranch homes fail inspection because no shutter fits their louvered sashes. Replacing them with impact-rated fixed or single-hung units is the only way to keep a policy in force, and we do this conversion almost weekly in Greenacres.
- Seal failure on west-facing aluminum frames: Afternoon convective storms drive moisture into 40-year-old glazing channels, and the west side of the house takes the worst of it. Fogged glass and corroded aluminum frames are the most common call we field in Greenacres outside of insurance-driven replacement.
- Rough-opening mis-sizing in block walls: When a crew pulls an old window out of concrete block and doesn’t shim and foam the rough opening precisely, the new unit leaks air and the frame can squeal against the masonry. This is a workmanship issue, not a window problem, and it’s why we measure twice and set every unit square before sealing.
- Structural settling on older slab-on-grade homes: Many Greenacres homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have settled slightly, which means window openings aren’t perfectly square anymore. A replacement that fits the original spec may not fit the existing opening. We measure the actual rough opening on every job, not the old window label.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Greenacres, FL
Here’s the honest picture for Greenacres specifically. A standard vinyl insert window replacement runs $600-$1,200 per opening. A full frame replacement in a concrete block wall, which most Greenacres ranch homes require, runs $1,400-$2,800 per opening depending on size and whether impact glazing is included. Impact-rated units add $500-$1,100 per opening over standard insulated glass, but in Greenacres that upgrade is often the difference between keeping your homeowners insurance and losing it. Jalousie-to-fixed or jalousie-to-single-hung conversions typically run $1,600-$3,200 per opening because we’re framing out an irregular masonry opening and setting a completely new unit. Every estimate is free, written, and itemized. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk the windows with you and put real numbers on paper.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Greenacres
It depends on where your property sits. Homes inside Greenacres city limits go through city permitting; homes on county-permitted acreage outside city limits go through Palm Beach County. Either way, we pull the permit before we start, and the inspection gets scheduled before we finish. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll check your property’s jurisdiction and tell you exactly what the permit will require. Estimates are free.
Yes. Jalousie windows in Greenacres ranch homes can be converted to impact-rated single-hung, casement, or horizontal roller units, all of which give you opening ventilation and an insurance-compliant rating. Fixed glass is an option but it’s not your only one. We’ll quote the operable options side by side with the fixed option so you can see the cost difference. Call (786) 829-6722 for a written estimate.
Replacing windows won’t disturb your well or septic, but staging the job can. Many Greenacres homes sit on county-permitted acreage where septic drain fields and well setbacks restrict where scaffolds, saw tables, and equipment can be placed. We scope the staging area before we quote, and we keep all heavy equipment off the leach field and outside well setback lines. It’s a logistics detail most companies ignore until the day of the job, and then it becomes your problem. We handle it before you sign anything. Call (786) 829-6722 to schedule a walk-through.
Greenacres’s inland position means afternoon convective storms roll in from the west and southwest, driving moisture against those window faces regularly. Forty-year-old aluminum glazing channels weren’t built to handle that repeated wet-dry cycle, so seals break down and frames corrode on the west side years before the east side shows problems. We see this pattern consistently in Greenacres, and it’s one of the reasons we recommend higher-performance low-E and impact glass on west exposures specifically. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll look at your exposure before we recommend anything.
Most Greenacres impact window replacement jobs are completed within one to two weeks of your signed quote, depending on how many openings and whether we’re manufacturing custom sizes. If you have a cancellation deadline, tell us when you call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it. We’ll register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave, and we’ll walk you through the Florida Product Approval documentation your insurer needs. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.
If you own a window in Greenacres that you can’t open, can’t see through, or can’t get insured, call (786) 829-6722. We’ll come out, measure, quote on paper, and do the work right. Made in Greenacres.
