Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across North Palm Beach
Impact window and door replacement in North Palm Beach typically runs $900-$1,800 per opening for standard impact-rated units, with full-home projects on canal-front properties commonly landing between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on opening count and frame condition.

TruePane Windows & Doors has been chasing salt-corrosion failures and non-impact glazing across North Palm Beach long enough to know exactly what a 1963 canal-front rancher is hiding behind its original aluminum frames. Our Impact Windows & Doors team measures every opening twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. A live person answers every call, day or night.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still names the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For North Palm Beach homeowners, that matters because so much of what we do here involves correcting installs that were never true to begin with. Original 1960s sliders set in concrete block with no pan flashing. Impact units retrofitted into openings that were never squared. Patio doors that bind every July when the humidity climbs. We see the full range along Lighthouse Drive, Anchorage Drive, and the finger canals running west of US-1, and we price the fix honestly.
We are not a franchise playbook. We are a second-generation glazier’s company that hires local, trains apprentices into journeymen, and plans to still be answering the phone in North Palm Beach thirty years from now. Every job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before we leave the site. No paperwork fights. No arguing. We stand behind it.
Background-checked, uniformed technicians work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. And for North Palm Beach specifically, that means understanding the double salt-air assault these homes take: ocean breezes from the east, tidal spray from the Intracoastal to the west. You cannot fake impact work here. Palm Beach County insurers check.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in North Palm Beach
Hurricane Impact Windows
North Palm Beach sits squarely in Palm Beach County’s 130+ mph design wind speed zone, which means impact-rated windows are not an upgrade here. They are the permitting baseline. We replace original jalousie and single-pane aluminum units with fusion-welded impact casements, double-hungs, and picture windows from manufacturers like PGT and CGI, each with low-E glass and argon fill to handle the heat load off the Atlantic. For canal-front homes, we pay special attention to frame material compatibility, because mixing untreated aluminum with salt-saturated concrete is how the original corrosion started.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The 1960s and 1970s CBS homes throughout North Palm Beach were built with single-pane aluminum sliders facing either the water or the street. On the canal side, those sliders have been eating galvanic corrosion for fifty years. We set new impact-rated sliding glass doors with stainless or thermally broken frames, proper sill pans, and butyl-taped jambs so water and salt stay outside where they belong. Most North Palm Beach slider replacements run $3,500-$7,500 per door depending on width and whether the rough opening needs masonry work.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Entry doors on North Palm Beach canal-front homes take a beating that inland doors never see: west-facing threshold hardware corroding from tidal spray while east-facing surfaces weather from ocean wind. We install impact-rated entry and French doors with factory-finished frames, stainless hinges, and multipoint locking hardware. If your original threshold screws are rusted into the slab, we budget for extraction and repair rather than discovering it mid-job and handing you a change order you did not approve.

Impact Garage Doors
A garage door is the largest single opening on most North Palm Beach homes, and insurers treat it as the first point of failure. We install and brace impact-rated garage doors rated for the county’s 130+ mph zone, and we reference wind mitigation codes on every install. If your main windows and doors are already impact-rated, your garage door is the gap that can still fail a wind mitigation inspection and stall a policy renewal.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for North Palm Beach homeowners we most often quote PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem because their coastal ratings and salt-corrosion resistance hold up on canal-front exposures. We stock common replacement parts and hardware locally for North Palm Beach service calls, which keeps turnaround faster than waiting on a regional warehouse. If you have a proprietary frame or an older impact line from a builder-grade install, we will tell you whether it is worth repairing or replacing rather than selling you parts you do not need.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Galvanic corrosion fusing aluminum frames to concrete. On canal-front homes west of US-1, fifty years of salt-laden air and tidal spray chemically welds original 1960s aluminum slider frames into the rough opening. This turns a standard replacement into hammer-and-chisel demolition plus masonry repair before new frames can be set.
- Failed seals and fogged glass within five to seven years on canal-facing exposures. The double salt-assault from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal accelerates seal failure far faster than inland homes ever experience. If your canal-facing glass is fogged, the seal is gone and the insulating value is compromised.
- Patchwork impact coverage hiding non-impact openings. Decades of piecemeal upgrades mean the same North Palm Beach block can hold original single-pane, partially upgraded, and fully impact-rated openings side by side. One missed window fails the wind mitigation inspection and stalls the policy renewal.
- Code-triggered upgrades once walls are opened. Pulling an original jalousie on a 1960s CBS home often reveals wiring, framing, or waterproofing that no longer meets current code. A permit opens the wall, and the wall has to go back to current standard. We budget for that up front.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach, FL
For standard impact-rated window replacement in North Palm Beach, expect $900-$1,800 per opening for a standard casement or double-hung unit, installed. Sliding glass doors run $3,500-$7,500. Entry and French doors typically land between $4,000 and $9,000 depending on configuration and hardware. Full-home canal-front replacements in the village commonly run $18,000-$45,000.
What moves the number most in North Palm Beach is not the glass, it is the rough opening condition. Homes along the finger canals west of US-1 routinely require masonry repair, corrosion remediation, or new pan flashing before new frames can be set. We inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch the wall.

What We Find When We Open Up a 1960s North Palm Beach Canal-Front Home
North Palm Beach is a post-1956 planned community built largely along finger canals feeding the Intracoastal Waterway. The original housing stock is ranch-style CBS from the late 1950s through the 1970s, and a lot of it still has the original aluminum jalousie windows and single-pane sliders it shipped with. On canal-front homes west of US-1, those frames have spent sixty years marinating in the exact conditions that accelerate galvanic corrosion: salt-laden Atlantic air from the east, tidal lagoon spray from the west, and concrete block that holds moisture against the metal.
What we find when we open those walls is predictable, and that predictability is exactly what we budget for. Original aluminum frames corroded into the rough opening, so fused to the block that a standard pull-and-replace is impossible. Outdated wiring run through openings that now carry wind-load requirements the original electrician never imagined. Undersized or water-damaged framing behind jalousie installations that leaked for decades. Failed waterproofing at the sill, hidden by trim until the day the wall comes open. And the code upgrades a permit triggers once the wall is open, because North Palm Beach will not close a permit on non-compliant work no matter what the original builder got away with.
The reason a North Palm Beach impact window quote moves is never the glass. It is what the glass was hiding. We handle that by inspecting first, writing realistic allowances into the contract, and pricing every surprise in writing before we touch the wall. If the rough opening does not need masonry repair, you do not pay for masonry repair. If it does, you knew it was coming and you approved the number.
On a 1963 ranch on Lighthouse Drive, we pulled an original aluminum jalousie window and found the frame fused to the block with galvanic corrosion from decades of tidal spray. Our crew chiseled out the old sill pan, repaired the rough opening, and set a fusion-welded impact casement with low-E glass and argon fill, then flashed the jamb with butyl tape before reinstalling the interior trim. That is how it goes on canal-front North Palm Beach. The water does not forgive shortcuts.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance in North Palm Beach
Palm Beach County insurers are not negotiating right now. On coastal and canal-front properties, they are refusing renewals and demanding proof of opening protection. In North Palm Beach, that means a failed wind mitigation inspection can block a policy renewal outright, not just raise the premium. We walk every home with the current county wind-load requirements in mind: 130+ mph design wind speed, impact-rated glazing or approved shutters on every opening, and garage door bracing that holds.
If you have a patchwork of original, partially upgraded, and fully impact openings, the non-impact units are the problem. We document what is there, tell you what passes and what will not, and quote the fix line by line. For North Palm Beach homeowners planning to stay in their house for another twenty years, the math usually comes down to one question: will the opening pass the next inspection? If it will not, we price it.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in North Palm Beach
Look for an etched or printed label on the glass itself, typically in one corner of the pane, that includes the manufacturer name, the impact standard (Miami-Dade or ASTM E1996), and a product number. Older North Palm Beach homes with original aluminum frames almost never have impact glazing because those frames were not built to carry it. If the frame is original and the glass is single-pane, it is not impact-rated. We can verify every opening on your home during a free estimate. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule an inspection.
Because on canal-front homes west of US-1, decades of tidal spray and salt-laden air cause galvanic corrosion that fuses original aluminum frames into the concrete rough opening. Removing that frame requires hammer-and-chisel demolition, and the block behind it often needs repair before new impact frames can be set. If your quote includes masonry line items, the estimator saw corrosion and is pricing the fix up front rather than surprising you mid-job. We do not hide that line and we do not invent it when it is not needed.
Replacing non-impact windows with impact-rated units in North Palm Beach can reduce your windstorm premium, and it often removes the immediate threat of non-renewal. The exact credit depends on your carrier, your home’s wind mitigation inspection results, and whether all openings qualify. Insurers are demanding proof of opening protection on coastal properties, so the bigger immediate benefit is keeping your policy in force. We provide the documentation carriers ask for, and we walk you through which line items on the wind mitigation form your new windows will satisfy. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and we will walk the property with you.
Impact-rated double-hung windows are tested to withstand flying debris at 130+ mph design wind speeds and carry a Miami-Dade or ASTM E1996 certification label. Non-impact double-hung windows do not meet Palm Beach County’s opening protection requirement for permitted replacement. In North Palm Beach, any permitted window replacement must be impact-rated or paired with approved shutter protection. If you are replacing windows under permit, the non-impact option effectively does not exist. We quote impact-rated only in this market.
Yes. The garage door is the largest single opening on most North Palm Beach homes, and a non-impact or unbraced garage door can fail a wind mitigation inspection even when every window and door is impact-rated. Insurers treat the garage door as a structural weak point, especially on canal-front and coastal exposures. We install and brace impact-rated garage doors rated for Palm Beach County’s wind zone, and we coordinate the documentation so your inspection form reflects the full opening protection picture. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
