Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Seminole Manor
Impact window and door installation in Seminole Manor runs $850-$2,400 per opening for most mid-century concrete block homes, with full jalousie tear-outs and custom buck framing at the upper end. Our crews work this neighborhood weekly, and we know exactly what hides behind the stucco on a 1960s CBS house. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate and a written line-item quote before you decide anything.
If you live in Seminole Manor, your house was likely built between 1955 and 1975, which means those original jalousie windows and single-pane sliders were never meant to stop a Palm Beach County wind-borne debris event. They were built for breezes. We replace them with impact-rated units that actually meet Florida Building Code, and we handle the county permit process from start to finish. No calling Palm Beach County yourself. No guessing what the inspector wants.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That principle matters more in Seminole Manor than most places, because the older CBS construction here has quirks that a franchise crew from Boca won’t recognize until they’re already over their head.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Seminole Manor’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We’ve pulled more original jalousie windows out of Seminole Manor homes than we can count, and the pattern is always the same: corroded aluminum clips, rusted lintels, and rough openings that don’t match anything on a modern spec sheet. Our technicians know to look for these before the first cut, not after. That’s why homeowners here call us first and call us back when they add on.
Every Seminole Manor job gets a uniformed, background-checked crew that measures every opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, so you see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs before we touch the wall. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard, and we put it on every contract.
We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form. When a Seminole Manor homeowner calls about a rattling jalousie panel at 9 p.m. before a storm watch, they get a real person who knows this neighborhood.
Seminole Manor is unincorporated. Every permit runs through Palm Beach County’s building department, not a city office. We’ve been working that county system for years, so we know their product approval lists, their inspection schedules, and how they handle mid-century CBS retrofits differently from Lake Worth Beach or Lantana. That’s not something you learn from a manufacturer webinar. You learn it from doing the work here.
Our Impact Windows & Doors team treats every Seminole Manor home like it’s our own mother’s house. That’s not marketing language. It’s the standard Dale set when he started the company.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Seminole Manor
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Seminole Manor homes still carry their original jalousie windows, which offer zero impact resistance and almost no insulation. We remove them carefully, address the rusted steel lintel underneath, and install fusion-welded impact-rated vinyl or aluminum units with low-E glass and argon fill. The county inspection is part of the job, not an add-on. A typical single-family CBS home here runs $9,000-$18,000 for a full impact window replacement, depending on opening count and whether buck framing is needed.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Original aluminum sliders in 1950s-1970s Seminole Manor homes oxidize from the wet-dry humidity cycling, and the tracks bind. We replace them with impact-rated sliding glass doors that meet Palm Beach County wind-borne debris standards, and we rebuild the rotted wood buck framing around the threshold rather than hiding it behind an insert. Full-frame tear-outs are more common than insert replacements here, because the original framing is usually too far gone. Expect $3,200-$6,800 per sliding door, depending on width and frame condition.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Wood buck rot around older door thresholds is a known failure mode in Seminole Manor. The seasonal moisture here works its way into the door buck, and by the time the jamb pulls away from the block, an insert replacement won’t fix anything. We do full-frame tear-outs, replace the buck with pressure-treated lumber or composite, and set a new impact-rated entry or French door that the county inspector will pass on the first visit. Entry doors run $3,800-$8,500 here. French doors run $5,500-$11,000, more if there’s significant structural repair.

Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors in Seminole Manor are almost always original to the house, which means thin aluminum panels and hardware that was never rated for impact. A failing garage door during a hurricane pressurizes the whole house, and that’s when roofs lift. We install Miami-Dade rated impact garage doors with reinforced tracks and jamb hardware. Most Seminole Manor garage door replacements run $2,800-$6,200, depending on door size and wind-load requirements.

Trusted Brands We Service in Seminole Manor
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem. That matters in Seminole Manor because Palm Beach County’s product approval list is strict, and not every brand makes an impact window that passes their review for mid-century CBS retrofits. We stock common parts and hardware for these brands locally, so a warranty call or a broken clip doesn’t mean waiting three weeks for a part from Ohio. We quote the brands side by side on paper, durations stated, so you can compare what you’re actually paying for.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Seminole Manor Homes
- Jalousie glass louver clips that corrode and snap. The aluminum clips on original jalousie windows were never built for Palm Beach County’s humidity. When they snap, the glass panels rattle in wind and offer zero impact resistance during a storm event.
- Original aluminum frames with failed seals. The wet-dry cycling here accelerates aluminum-frame oxidation, which causes insulated glass seal failure. You see fogged windows long before the frame fails structurally, but both problems usually start at the same place.
- Rotted wood buck framing around door thresholds. Old door bucks in Seminole Manor soak up seasonal moisture until the subfloor sags and the jamb pulls away from the concrete block. Insert replacements conceal this rot until the door won’t latch, at which point the repair is much bigger.
- Rusted steel lintels above window openings. On 1962 CBS homes near Seminole Manor’s original plat, our crew pulled out a row of corroded aluminum jalousie windows and found the original steel lintels crusted with rust from decades of humid air passing through open louvers. We wire-brushed each lintel, applied rust-inhibiting primer, then set fusion-welded impact-rated vinyl double-hungs with low-E glass and argon fill into custom buck framing sized to the non-standard rough openings. The stucco returns stayed clean, and the job passed the county inspection on the first visit.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Seminole Manor
All impact window and door permits in unincorporated Seminole Manor run through Palm Beach County’s building department, not a municipal office. This means the county’s product approval list governs which impact units are acceptable, and their inspectors schedule the final sign-off. We handle the full permit process for you, including the paperwork, the scheduling, and the inspection walkthrough. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll explain exactly what your specific home triggers.
Yes, it can, depending on what the county finds when the old jalousie windows come out. On CBS construction, the original rough openings were sized for aluminum-frame jalousie or single-pane sliders, not modern impact units. When we open the wall, the county may require new anchoring, lintel remediation, or buck framing to meet current wind-load codes. We write allowance lines into every Seminole Manor contract so these findings are priced and approved before we touch the work. Call (754) 238-2201 for specifics on your opening sizes.
We stop, document it, and show you what we found. A rusted steel lintel is common in Seminole Manor because decades of humid air moved through the open louvers and sat against the steel. We wire-brush the lintel, apply rust-inhibiting primer, and only then set the new impact window. If the rust has compromised the lintel’s structural load capacity, we replace it entirely and have the county inspector verify the fix before we close the wall. This is a standard part of our process on mid-century CBS homes, not a surprise line item. Call (754) 238-2201 if you suspect lintels on your home.
Yes. Most original sliding glass doors in 1950s-1970s Seminole Manor homes sit in wood buck framing that has rotted from decades of seasonal moisture. An insert replacement slides into the old frame and hides that rot until the sill sags and the jamb pulls away from the block. In this neighborhood, a full-frame tear-out with a rebuilt buck is the correct repair far more often than not. We’ll tell you which one your house needs after the inspection. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free evaluation.
Sometimes, but you’ll get a better seal and a cleaner stucco return if we custom-order to the actual opening size or build buck framing to true the opening. Original CBS openings in Seminole Manor were rarely square or standard by modern standards. We measure every opening twice, then decide with you whether a custom order or a field correction is the better value. Most impact window manufacturers we carry, including PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem, offer custom sizing at a modest premium over stock units. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written quote side by side.
