AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across West Palm Beach
Window replacement in West Palm Beach costs between $700 and $2,800 per opening for most homes, with full-frame impact-rated work on historic properties running $2,200 to $4,500 per window. The spread is wide because West Palm Beach forces a compliance question most Florida cities never ask: will your replacement satisfy both the wind-borne debris impact mandate and the Historic Preservation Board’s design review? Our crews work El Cid, Flamingo Park, Grandview Heights, and Northwood every week, so we scope both sides of that equation before we quote. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk your property, measure every opening twice, and put the numbers on paper the same day.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’re not a franchise playbook. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs in our shop: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule has carried us through years of combined glazing heritage and it’s the reason West Palm Beach homeowners keep our number. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s.
We measure every opening twice. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated, so you’re never surprised later. And if something isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every job we do in West Palm Beach.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When you’re dealing with a window that won’t seal or a water stain spreading down the drywall, you call and a person answers. That’s how we’ve done it for years, and it’s how we’ll do it for decades more.
Our Window Replacement Services in West Palm Beach
Historic Window Restoration
West Palm Beach’s historic districts, El Cid, Old Northwood, Flamingo Park, and Prospect Park, are full of 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival and Mission-style masonry homes with original steel or wood casement windows. The Historic Preservation Board reviews nearly every replacement here. Standard 3-1/2-inch aluminum impact frames get rejected because they don’t match the original narrow profiles. We source impact-rated units with simulated divided lights and bronze or painted finishes that satisfy both the wind load code and the HPB. Window replacement in these neighborhoods is a specialty, not a sideline.
Impact-Rated Replacement
Most of West Palm Beach sits inside the Florida Building Code’s wind-borne debris region. That means impact-rated glazing, or an approved shutter system, is a legal requirement for nearly every opening in your home. We install, and PGT impact lines as authorized installers, and we quote manufacturer options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. No surprise line items, and both warranty layers registered before we leave.
Full Frame Replacement
When the original frame is rotted, racked, or leaking, an insert won’t fix the problem. Full frame replacement means pulling the old window down to the rough opening, addressing any water damage we find, and setting a new, properly flashed unit. On 1940s CBS ranch homes in Grandview Heights and SoSo, we frequently find original jalousie windows with rotted wood bucks and no flashing at all. That’s a full-frame job, and we scope it accurately before quoting.
Insert Window Replacement
If the existing frame is square and sound, an insert replacement fits a new sash assembly inside it, preserving interior trim and exterior stucco. This is usually the most cost-effective option for post-WWII concrete block homes where the frame hasn’t moved. We measure the existing opening twice and order the insert to fit within an eighth of an inch. It keeps dust down, keeps the stucco intact, and keeps the price lower than a full tear-out.
Storm Window Replacement
Many older West Palm Beach homes have original exterior storm panels over single-pane wood windows. When a storm passes and a panel is bent or shattered, or when the tracks have corroded from salt air near Lake Worth Lagoon, replacement is a direct fix. We’re not a handyman crew slapping on a generic panel. We measure, order the correct size, and set it properly so it actually sheds water and wind.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Replacing original jalousie or single-pane windows with Low-E, argon-filled, impact-rated units changes how a West Palm Beach house performs. You lose the drafts, you cut the solar heat gain, and your AC stops bleeding into the street. In neighborhoods a half-mile off the Intracoastal, the salt-air corrosion is hardest on hardware and seals, so we use marine-grade hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames as standard practice near the water.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That means we can quote competing lines side by side on paper, with actual lead times and actual prices, not estimate sheets full of asterisks. For West Palm Beach customers, we keep local stock moving on common sizes, so if you need a replacement sash or a new pane somewhere in town, we can often get it ordered and scheduled without a month-long wait.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion near the Intracoastal. Properties within a mile of Lake Worth Lagoon eat aluminum frames, hardware tracks, and weatherstripping fast. Non-marine-grade hardware fails early and voids warranties. We spec marine-grade hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames in these zones.
- Original jalousie windows that offer zero impact protection. Grandview Heights, SoSo, and Prospect Park still have thousands of original louvered-glass jalousies. They leak air, they leak water, and they provide no hurricane protection. We replace them with fusion-welded, impact-rated units that actually insulate.
- HPB rejections on standard aluminum frames. In El Cid and Flamingo Park, contractors submit standard impact frames and watch the permit stall for months. The fix is simulated divided-light profiles and bronze or painted finishes that match the original casement look. We plan for this before you ever submit.
- Failed seals and fogged glass. Humidity and heat cycles in South Florida are hard on double-pane units. When the seal fails and the glass fogs, the insulating value is gone. We replace the sash or the unit, and we register the new warranty in writing the same day.

FAQs - Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Yes. El Cid is a designated historic district under West Palm Beach’s Historic Preservation Board, and window replacement in that district requires HPB review. The board evaluates whether the replacement matches the original window’s profile, material, and finish. Standard 3-1/2-inch aluminum impact frames are routinely rejected in El Cid and Flamingo Park because they do not match the original narrow-profile steel or wood casements. We source simulated divided-light and bronze-finish impact-rated units that meet both the HPB standard and the Florida Building Code wind load requirement. Call (786) 829-6722 before you buy anything, and we’ll tell you exactly what the board will accept in your specific block.
It means impact-rated glazing, or an approved shutter system, is legally required for nearly every window and door opening in most of West Palm Beach, not an optional upgrade. The Florida Building Code designates the city as part of the wind-borne debris region, which triggers specific missile-impact and wind-pressure test standards for glazing. In practical terms, your replacement windows must carry a Florida Product Approval number, and that number must match the product we install. We pull the permit, we register the approvals, and we make sure the job passes inspection. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
Salt air. West Palm Beach fronts Lake Worth Lagoon directly, and properties within about a mile of the water sit in a marine environment that degrades aluminum finishes, hardware tracks, and weatherstripping significantly faster than inland homes. Standard residential hardware is not built for that exposure. Marine-grade hardware and anodized or PVC-clad frames are effectively mandatory near the water if you want the warranty to hold and the window to operate cleanly in ten years. We spec these materials as standard practice for lagoon-side homes. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll assess your current hardware and tell you what needs to change.
It depends on your jurisdiction. Some larger lots near West Palm Beach fall under Palm Beach County permitting rather than city jurisdiction, and the county has different submittal requirements, inspections, and timelines. In some cases, septic and well setbacks come into play if the project touches the building envelope near those systems. We determine the correct permitting path before we quote, so you’re not surprised by a re-scope or a delay. Call (786) 829-6722 and give us your address; we’ll tell you exactly which authority governs the work.
Yes. Original jalousie windows, common in 1940s and 1950s CBS ranch homes in Grandview Heights, SoSo, and Prospect Park, offer no insulation and no hurricane protection. We remove the entire jalousie assembly down to the rough opening, install a properly flashed full-frame replacement, and set a fusion-welded, impact-rated casement or single-hung unit in its place. The difference in air leakage and solar heat gain is immediate. We pulled a permit ourselves on a Grandview Heights job recently, replacing twelve original jalousies with Andersen impact casements and marine-grade hardware. The job cleared inspection because we matched the neighborhood’s design guidelines. Call (786) 829-6722 to schedule your free estimate.
Building on Acreage Around West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach’s acreage properties are a different animal from the close-in historic grid. When you’re on a half-acre or more outside the urban core, several factors shift the scope and the price before we ever cut an opening. We scope all of them before we quote, because a generic per-window price is fiction on these lots.
First, permitting. Some larger parcels fall under Palm Beach County jurisdiction, not the city, and the county has its own submittal, review, and inspection process. Septic and well setbacks matter here. If the building envelope is close to a drain field or a well head, the permit review changes, and we need to account for that before ordering product. We pull the permit ourselves on every job, city or county, and we know which office to file in for your specific address.
Second, material hauls and equipment access. On an open acre, the truck can usually get close to the structure, but that’s not always true. Detached garages, shops, and ADUs set back from the main house often mean long carries for full-frame units and glass packages. If we’re replacing windows on an outbuilding on the far side of the property, we account for the haul distance and any grading or drainage issues that affect staging.
Third, outbuildings and detached ADUs. A window replacement on a detached garage or a converted ADU is not the same as the main house. The structure may have been built to older code, the rough openings may be irregular, and the electrical or plumbing in the wall may complicate the frame. We measure every opening on the entire property, not just the ones visible from the street, and we include everything in the written estimate.
Fourth, grading and drainage on an open lot. Water should sheet away from the structure. If the existing windows are leaking and the ground slopes toward the slab, new windows alone won’t fix the problem. We’ll flag it, tell you what we see, and give you a straight answer about what’s needed before we quote the windows. We don’t sell you glass on a failing foundation.
That’s how we scope acreage work in West Palm Beach. Not from a satellite image, not from a phone call. On the ground, with a tape measure and a level, looking at how the building actually sits on the land. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll schedule a free estimate that covers your entire property, including the outbuildings and the setbacks.
