AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window replacement in Palm Beach is not a standard job and should not be priced or specified like one. Most window installations here fail early because they are built to inland specs, then set on a barrier island where salt air attacks from the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon at the same time. TruePane has installed, replaced, and serviced windows on Palm Beach properties for years, and we understand what the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission expects and what the coastal environment demands. If you are researching window installation in Palm Beach, call (754) 238-2201 and our team will walk you through what your home actually needs, not what a catalog says.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We are not a franchise outfit working a territory. TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and our crews work in Palm Beach the way Dale has always demanded: measure twice, specify honestly, and stand behind the work in writing. Palm Beach homeowners call us because we show up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to talk about marine-grade hardware and ARCOM review without making you feel like you are being upsold. The Done Right Promise means if the job is not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. And The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway.
We also know the island. From the Estate Section to the condominium buildings along South Ocean Boulevard, the salt exposure is relentless and the architectural rules are strict. Our crews understand the difference between a window that meets code and a window that survives twenty years two hundred yards from the ocean. That is why so many Palm Beach homeowners who have been burned once by a cheap install call us the second time.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Casement Windows
Casement windows are common on Palm Beach’s older Mediterranean Revival homes, and they are also the most vulnerable to salt air. The original steel or bronze casement hardware seizes, the hinges snap from chloride stress corrosion, and the frame develops white corrosion bloom within a few years if it is standard aluminum. We replace casement windows with marine-grade stainless hinges, corrosion-resistant frames, and impact-laminated glass that meets Palm Beach County wind codes. A typical casement window replacement in Palm Beach runs $900 to $2,100 per unit, depending on size and whether ARCOM review applies.
Fixed & Picture Windows
A fixed window on a Palm Beach oceanfront or lagoon-front lot takes more environmental abuse than a window that opens. There are no moving parts, but the seal and frame are still exposed to two-sided salt air, and fogged glass is the classic sign that a fixed unit has failed. We install fixed and picture windows with fusion-welded frames and high-performance insulated glass rated for coastal exposure. On a historic estate, we can preserve the original opening profile while upgrading the glass to impact-laminated units. Typical fixed window replacement in Palm Beach runs $500 to $1,400 per unit.
Awning Windows
Awning windows work well in Palm Beach because they can stay cracked open during afternoon showers without letting water blow in. But the hinge mechanisms on standard awning windows corrode quickly in this environment, and the latch arms are often the first component to fail. We install awning windows with marine-grade hardware and weatherstripping rated for constant salt mist. Our Window Installation team sizes each unit for the opening and the wind zone, which matters more on the barrier island than most contractors admit. A typical awning window in Palm Beach runs $650 to $1,500 per unit.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows are a common choice for the Bermuda-style and mid-century homes in Palm Beach, but the spring balances and sash channels on low-end units do not hold up under salt exposure. We replace single and double hung windows with corrosion-resistant balancers and frames designed for coastal use. The glass is impact-rated where Palm Beach County wind-load codes require it, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the job is done. Typical double hung replacement in Palm Beach runs $750 to $1,800 per unit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, PGT, and ES Windows. These are brands we specify frequently in Palm Beach because their coastal product lines actually hold up to the island’s salt air.

Call (754) 238-2201 and we will bring the spec sheets and the prices, not a glossy brochure with no numbers.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- White corrosion bloom on aluminum frames. Standard aluminum frames pitted and bloomed within three to four years of installation on properties near the ocean and the lagoon. We specify marine-grade or protected aluminum for every Palm Beach job, even on non-oceanfront lots.
- Seized stainless steel hinges on casement windows. The salt air causes chloride stress corrosion cracking, and standard stainless fasteners snap. That is why we use marine-grade stainless hardware for every casement replacement on the island.
- Fogged glass from seal failure. Salt-laden moisture gets into the insulated glass unit when weatherstripping and corner seals fail early. The result is permanent fogging and a dead unit. We replace with high-performance insulated glass built for coastal exposure.
- ARCOM non-compliance on historic properties. Homeowners who replaced a Mizner-era window with a standard unit sometimes find the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission will not approve the alteration. We handle the compliance path from the start, so you are not fighting the town after the fact.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
You should expect to pay more for window installation in Palm Beach than you would in West Palm Beach or Greenacres, and the reason is not markup. The material spec is different. A standard casement window with standard hardware might cost $700. A marine-grade casement with impact-laminated glass, stainless hinges, and a frame that will not pit in five years runs $1,100 to $2,100. The cheap spec costs more within a decade because you replace it twice. Fixed windows run $500 to $1,400, awning windows $650 to $1,500, and double hung $750 to $1,800 per unit. These are the real ranges for this island, not national averages. We give written line-item quotes with no change orders and no surprises on the bill. Call Palm Beach office at (754) 238-2201 for your free estimate.
A Palm Beach Reality We See Every Season
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway, the Lake Worth Lagoon, to the west. Every property on this island takes salt air from two directions at once. That changes the material spec for every window, every hinge, every fastener. A window that performs fine in West Palm Beach, four miles inland, will start pitting and seizing on Palm Beach within three to four years. This is not a subtle difference. We have pulled standard stainless hinges off casement windows in the Estate Section that snapped in half from chloride stress corrosion. The homeowner paid for a window that should have lasted thirty years, and the hardware died before the first presidential administration ended.
On a Mizner-era estate off South Ocean Boulevard, our crew replaced failed steel casement windows with custom-fabricated impact-laminated units that preserved the original bronze profiles ARCOM mandated. We used marine-grade stainless hinges and fusion-welded frames because the original hardware had seized from decades of two-sided salt air. The homeowners now have a historically compliant installation that actually opens. That project is not an outlier. It is the standard for what Palm Beach window work requires.
What Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission Means for Your Windows
The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission, ARCOM, reviews window and door replacements on historic and contributing Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style properties. ARCOM requires replacements to match the original profiles and materials. That means a homeowner with 1920s Mizner-era steel or bronze casement windows cannot simply swap them for standard impact units off a truck. The replacement must be custom fabricated to match the original sightlines, and the glass must still meet Palm Beach County’s mandatory impact and wind-load codes. That dual compliance burden is essentially unique to this island. We handle the ARCOM process for our clients, because walking a homeowner through a town review without experience is how you end up with an approved plan that does not match what the contractor actually installs.
Marine-Grade Material Spec: What You Actually Need in Palm Beach
Here is the exact spec we use on Palm Beach jobs, and this is the information you will not find on a generic window installation guide. Frames: marine-grade aluminum or protected aluminum, not standard architectural aluminum. Hardware: 316 stainless steel hinges, latches, and fasteners, not standard stainless. Glass: impact-laminated insulated units rated for the wind zone, not standard insulated glass. Weatherstripping: EPDM or silicone rated for continuous salt mist, not standard vinyl. Corner seals: fusion-welded frames wherever the manufacturer offers it. The price gap between the coastal spec and the inland spec is usually 30 to 50 percent. The cheap spec costs more within a decade because you buy the job twice.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County’s wind-load codes require impact-rated glazing or shutters across the county, and the barrier-island location puts every Palm Beach property in a direct wind-borne debris corridor during hurricane season. Even a home on the lagoon side or a few blocks inland must meet the same impact standard. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will tell you exactly what your address requires.
ARCOM requires the replacement windows to match the original profiles and materials, which usually means custom fabrication for steel or bronze casement units. You cannot swap a Mizner-era window for a standard impact unit and expect approval. We prepare the drawings and specifications that ARCOM needs, and we install the approved product. The process is slower than a standard replacement, but doing it right the first time avoids a costly correction later.
Because Palm Beach is a barrier island, and the salt air from the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon reaches every lot on the island, not just the oceanfront. Standard hardware fails in three to four years. Marine-grade 316 stainless hardware is the only spec we trust on this island, and we include it on every job.
Sometimes, yes. If the original steel or bronze frame is structurally sound and ARCOM allows the alteration, we can custom fabricate impact-laminated glass to retrofit into the existing profiles. This preserves the historic fabric and costs less than a full replacement. On a Mizner-era estate, that is often the right path. We will tell you honestly whether your frames are worth saving.
Look for white corrosion bloom or pitting on the frame, hinges that are stiff or seized, fogged glass between the panes, or weatherstripping that has cracked and pulled away. Any of those signs means salt air has already penetrated. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will schedule an assessment. The estimate is free, and we will show you what failed and what it takes to fix it.
