AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach runs on a different clock than anywhere else in South Florida. On the island, a typical custom impact window package for a Mizner-era estate takes 6 to 9 months from ARCOM submittal to final inspection, and the price for a single set of arched French doors can cross six figures. If you live in a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home on El Bravo Way or a mid-century oceanfront on South Ocean Boulevard, you already know off-the-shelf windows will not pass design review. We are TruePane Windows & Doors, and we have spent years navigating the Town’s Architectural Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission on behalf of Palm Beach homeowners. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will walk you through exactly what your house needs before you spend a dollar.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We are not the cheapest bid on the island, and we will tell you that plainly. What we are is the company Palm Beach architects and general contractors call when a submittal has to pass the first time. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in the shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means every window we set is measured twice, plumbed, leveled, and documented before the truck leaves your driveway.
Our Window Installation team includes background-checked, uniformed technicians who treat a Palm Beach estate the way they would treat their own mother’s house. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we order a single unit, and every job carries the Done Right Promise. If something is out of true when we finish, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights. No fine print. That is the Keystone Standard, and it applies to every window we set from the North End to the Estate Section.
Dispatch for Palm Beach is coordinated from our South Florida office, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a call center. When you call about a window project on Jungle Road or Clarke Avenue, you speak to someone who knows the island.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the workhorse of Palm Beach’s historic homes. Original steel casements from the 1920s and 1930s are common on Mizner-era estates, and when they fail, you cannot simply swap in a vinyl catalog unit. We fabricate custom impact-rated casements that match the original sightlines, opening geometry, and hardware finishes, then file the ARCOM submittal package with photographs and measurements of every existing fenestration detail. On El Brillo Way, we replaced arched steel casements in a 1920s estate with custom units that replicated the divided-light muntin profiles and original glass tint. The lead time was seven months. The result passed landmark review without a single resubmittal.
Awning Windows
Awning windows appear throughout Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival and mid-century inventory, and they fail in predictable ways on a salt-air island. Standard aluminum frames pock and corrode within a few years, and cheap weatherstripping lets salt fog through to the interior jamb. We specify marine-grade anodized or painted finishes and solid stainless hardware as the baseline on any Intracoastal or ocean-facing elevation. That is not an upgrade here. It is the minimum that survives.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Palm Beach’s oceanfront estates use fixed and picture windows the way galleries use framing: large, uninterrupted spans of glass that carry the view from Worth Avenue to the Atlantic. The challenge is structural. Design-pressure ratings on oceanfront facades push well beyond standard product lines, and the glass package has to be engineered for the opening, not picked from a catalog. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what the glazing package costs and what the warranty covers, before anything is ordered.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are less common on the island’s historic estates, but they appear in Palm Beach’s newer ultra-luxury builds and some mid-century inventory. What matters on a hung window in this climate is the balance system and the weatherstripping. Salt air eats cheap springs and nylon glides. We use stainless components and marine-grade seals so the sash still operates smoothly five years after the salt has had its way with lesser hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including. That matters on the island because ARCOM submittals often require documentation that a unit was fabricated to a specific profile, and manufacturer authorization is frequently a prerequisite for warranty registration. We also keep local parts stock for Palm Beach customers, which shortens service calls and keeps a repair from turning into a six-week wait.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM submittal rejections over muntin profiles and glass tint. Installers who pull Mizner-era windows without photographing and measuring every existing detail invite resubmittals and stop-work orders. We document everything before demolition begins and submit a package that references the original fenestration, not a catalog page.
- Off-the-shelf impact windows in non-standard rough openings. Palm Beach’s 1920s and 1930s estates rarely have rectangular, evenly spaced openings. Catalog windows leave air gaps, bind in the jamb, and visibly deviate from the original design. ARCOM notices, and so does the humidity.
- Salt-air corrosion on oceanfront and Intracoastal facades. Standard aluminum frames and hardware degrade measurably faster on South Ocean Boulevard than a few miles inland around Lake Worth. If marine-grade finishes and stainless fasteners are not specified on day one, seal failure and jamb corrosion follow within a few seasons.
- Long lead times that nobody warned you about. Custom impact units for historic Palm Beach estates run 6 to 9 months from order to delivery. Labor is not the bottleneck. Fabrication is. We tell you the real timeline before you sign, and the price is fixed in writing before anything is ordered.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Window installation pricing in Palm Beach reflects custom fabrication and landmark compliance, not catalog pricing. A standard impact casement on a non-historic Palm Beach home typically runs $1,800 to $3,400 per opening, installed. Custom arched casements for a Mizner-era estate start around $6,000 to $12,000 per opening, and a set of French doors on a landmark property can exceed $100,000 once ARCOM documentation, custom muntin profiles, and marine-grade finishes are factored in. Fixed and picture windows on oceanfront facades with high design-pressure ratings typically fall between $4,000 and $18,000 per opening depending on glass package and frame finish. The estimate we give you is fixed in writing, and both warranty layers are registered before the truck leaves the driveway. Every estimate is free, and seniors and veterans carry a permanent 5% discount. Call (786) 829-6722 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
ARCOM approval starts with documentation, not demolition. Before any window is pulled, we photograph and measure every existing unit, including muntin profiles, glass tint, frame dimensions, and opening geometry, then prepare a submittal package that references those details directly. The Town’s Architectural Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission require that replacements satisfy Florida’s hurricane-impact codes and the town’s design-review standards simultaneously, which means the submittal has to show both structural compliance and historical fidelity. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will handle the submittal from first photograph to final approval.
Lead time in Palm Beach runs 6 to 9 months because the windows are not in a catalog. A Mizner-era arched opening or a divided-light French door set has to be custom-fabricated to replicate the original profile, and that fabrication queue is the bottleneck, not installation labor. West Palm Beach homes with standard rectangular openings can use production impact windows, which ship in weeks. Palm Beach estates on the island rarely can. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will give you the real timeline for your specific house before you commit.
We specify marine-grade anodized or painted finishes and solid stainless fasteners on every oceanfront or Intracoastal facade. Standard aluminum frames and hardware fail early in Palm Beach’s salt-air belt, so we treat marine-grade as the baseline, not an upgrade, and we document the specification in writing so the warranty is enforceable. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will spec your windows for the salt air your elevation actually gets.
ARCOM routinely requires that replacement divided-light windows replicate the original muntin profiles, glass tint, and opening geometry before approval is granted. That means we measure and document the existing window before it is pulled, and the replacement is fabricated to match those dimensions, not to a manufacturer’s standard offering. If the profiling is not documented correctly, the submittal gets rejected and the project stalls for months. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will prepare the submittal properly the first time.
No, and we will be direct about it. Standard impact windows do not fit non-standard Mizner-era rough openings and will leave air gaps, bind in the jamb, and visibly deviate from the original fenestration, which draws ARCOM stop-work orders and redesign requirements. Palm Beach homes with arched or otherwise non-rectangular openings need custom-fabricated, historically sympathetic impact units, engineered for the specific opening. Call (786) 829-6722 and we will tell you exactly what your house requires.
