Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Impact window and door installation in Palm Beach typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 per opening for standard impact-rated units, and $4,500 to $9,000 per opening when ARCOM requires historically faithful custom fabrication on Mizner-era homes. Most jobs we handle on the island take one to two days per opening, depending on what we find behind the existing frames. If you’re on the north end near the Palm Beach Country Club or down in the Estate Section, call (754) 238-2201 and a live person answers. That’s not a callback service. You’ll talk to someone who knows the difference between a Lake Worth Lagoon corrosion problem and an Atlantic-side salt spray problem, because on this island they’re two different jobs.
We work on the narrow strip of land between the ocean and the Intracoastal, which means we deal with conditions most mainland contractors never see. Our Impact Windows & Doors crews carry marine-grade stainless fasteners as standard equipment here, not an upsell. The salt air coming off both bodies of water eats standard hardware faster than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County, and we plan for that from the first measurement.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We’re not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach, and we don’t try to be. What we are is the company that shows up when we say, measures every opening twice, and puts both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s been our practice through more than four decades of work in South Florida communities like Palm Beach. The founding rule in our shop is simple: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Palm Beach homeowners tend to be people who’ve lived in their homes for twenty or thirty years and have dealt with at least one contractor who disappeared when the warranty claim came due. We hear that story constantly, especially from customers along South Ocean Boulevard and the streets around the Everglades Club. Our answer is the Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right after we leave, we come back and fix it. No paperwork fight, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither us nor you. That promise sits on top of both manufacturer warranty layers, registered in writing, with durations stated.
Every technician on a Palm Beach job is background-checked and uniformed, and works in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. That matters when you’re letting someone into a historic property full of original millwork and irreplaceable details. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we can put side-by-side quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a principle that out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently, and that principle hasn’t changed.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
Impact window replacement in Palm Beach is a different animal than in West Palm Beach or Greenacres. The barrier island location puts your home in a direct wind-borne debris corridor during Atlantic hurricane season, and Palm Beach County wind codes require impact-rated glazing on new and replacement windows. A standard impact window with an aluminum frame runs $1,800 to $3,200 per opening here. Custom fabrication for arched openings or historically faithful bronze profiles runs $4,500 to $9,000 per opening. We handle both, and we’ll tell you honestly which one your house actually needs.
One thing we see repeatedly on Palm Beach homes built before 1980: the existing framing behind the window is undersized or termite-damaged, and the weight of impact glass requires structural reinforcement before the new unit can be anchored safely. We don’t hide that discovery or spring it on you at the end. We write allowances into the contract up front, and any structural repair gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. That’s the square deal we’ve always run.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors on Palm Beach homes face double-front salt exposure: ocean air on one side of the island, lagoon air on the other. Standard aluminum rollers and tracks pit and seize within five to ten years on non-marine-grade units. Impact-rated sliding doors in Palm Beach typically run $3,500 to $7,000 depending on width and configuration. We specify marine-grade stainless hardware as standard, not an option. If your current door binds in July or grinds when you open it, the salt has already done its work on the track and hardware.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry and French doors on Palm Beach’s older estates often carry original hardware that ARCOM will not allow you to replace with off-the-shelf modern units. A standard impact entry door runs $2,800 to $5,500 here. A custom fabrication matching original Mizner proportions, with impact-laminated glass and historically faithful hardware, runs $6,000 to $12,000. We’ve done both, and we’ll walk you through the ARCOM review requirements before you spend a dollar on materials. The Done Right Promise covers every door we hang, and both warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave.

Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the weak point in many Palm Beach wind mitigation upgrades. A code-compliant impact garage door for a standard two-car opening runs $3,000 to $6,500 installed. If the tracks and springs are original to a pre-1990 home, the salt air from the Intracoastal side has likely compromised them, and we’ll replace the full assembly rather than patch a failing system. Wind mitigation inspectors look closely at garage door bracing and hardware, and we install to pass the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, and we stock common replacement parts for these lines specifically for Palm Beach customers. That means a failed roller, hinge, or weatherstripping strip on a PGT or CGI unit gets replaced fast, without waiting on a backordered part from a warehouse in another state. When a Palm Beach homeowner calls with a seized window or a door that won’t seal, the last thing they need is two weeks of waiting while a distributor ships hardware. We keep the parts that fail most often in this climate on hand.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-laden air pitting aluminum frames and seizing hardware within five to ten years. The Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other means your windows and doors are getting corroded from two directions at once. Non-marine-grade units lose their airtight seal early, and the first sign is often a window that won’t open without force or a door that grinds on its track.
- Fogged insulated glass units in Mizner-era casement and double-hung windows. The original steel and bronze windows on 1920s to 1950s Mediterranean Revival homes were never built for modern insulated glass. When the seal fails and fogging appears, ARCOM restrictions often prevent a simple swap to modern impact units, which forces custom fabrication that most replacement window companies won’t touch.
- Undersized or termite-damaged headers and king studs behind existing frames. On pre-1980 Palm Beach homes, opening up the wall around an old window frequently reveals framing that can’t support the weight of impact-rated glass. This triggers a structural permit that wasn’t in the original quote. We handle it by writing allowances into the contract and pricing surprises in writing before we do the work.
- Failed weatherstripping and loss of the airtight seal on door thresholds. The constant humidity and salt air degrade rubber and neoprene seals faster on the island than inland. A door that looks fine from the outside may be leaking air and water around the threshold, which drives up cooling costs and lets moisture into the framing.
How We Handle ARCOM and Permit Surprises in Palm Beach
Here’s the part most homeowners don’t hear until after a job has already gone sideways. Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Lake Worth Lagoon to the west, so nearly every home faces double-front salt-air corrosion. Unlike neighboring inland communities like Greenacres or North Palm Beach, window and door hardware on even non-oceanfront lots fails years earlier unless specified with marine-grade stainless and impact-rated glazing from day one. On top of that, the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires that window and door replacements on historic and contributing properties match original profiles and materials, while still satisfying Palm Beach County’s mandatory impact-glass and wind-load codes. That’s a dual-compliance burden essentially unique to this island.
We handle it with a process built around inspection first, written allowances second, and pre-approval of any structural repair third. Before we quote, we inspect the existing openings, look at what’s behind the trim where access exists, and check the permitting path your property will require. If ARCOM review is likely, we tell you up front and build the timeline for that into the schedule. If we open a wall and find termite damage or undersized framing, the repair is priced and approved by you in writing before we proceed. No change orders appear on the final bill that weren’t already discussed. This is the single biggest reason remodel quotes move on older Palm Beach homes, and it’s the reason we run jobs this way every time.
On a 1930s Mizner-designed estate in the Estate Section, our crew removed corroded bronze casement windows to find the original steel jambs so rusted that new impact units could not be anchored safely. We shored the openings with pressure-treated framing, installed custom low-E impact-laminated glass into historically faithful bronze profiles, and wrapped every rough opening in flashing tape before ARCOM’s final inspection. That job didn’t start with a surprise. The surprise was found during our initial inspection, priced in writing, and approved before the first window came out. If you’re buying impact windows in Palm Beach, that’s how the job should run.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
No, in most cases. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires that window replacements on contributing Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style properties match the original profiles, materials, and sightlines. Standard off-the-shelf impact windows will likely be rejected during review. The path forward is custom fabrication of impact-laminated glass retrofit into historically faithful steel or bronze profiles, which runs $4,500 to $9,000 per opening. We handle ARCOM applications and know what the commission expects. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact assessment of your property.
In many cases we can replace just the glass with custom impact-laminated insulated glass units, provided the original steel or bronze frames are structurally sound. The limiting factor is usually the condition of the steel jambs and the depth of the glazing pocket. If the frames are rusted through or the pockets are too shallow for modern laminated glass, full replacement into historically faithful profiles is the better path. We’ll tell you which applies after inspecting the openings. Estimates are free.
The most common hidden costs are structural repairs to undersized or termite-damaged headers and king studs, which cannot support the weight of impact-rated glass. On pre-1980 Palm Beach homes, this repair typically runs $300 to $900 per opening depending on the extent of the damage. Other costs include marine-grade hardware upgrades, flashing tape and waterproofing corrections, and ARCOM application fees. We build allowances for these into our contracts and price any surprise in writing before we touch it. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written line-item quote.
Palm Beach County’s wind codes allow either impact-rated glazing or code-approved hurricane shutters as alternative protection. However, the Town of Palm Beach’s own regulations and ARCOM requirements often make impact glazing the practical choice for homes on the barrier island, especially where shutter tracks would alter historic facades. Impact windows also provide year-round protection without requiring you to be home to deploy shutters. We can quote both options side by side so you see the full cost picture.
Yes. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated before our truck leaves your driveway. You get a copy of the registration documents, not a verbal promise. On top of that, every job carries our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule your free estimate.
