AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Wellington
Impact window and door replacement in Wellington is rarely a same-week job, and the reason has nothing to do with the contractor’s calendar. It has to do with the architectural review board in your community. Olympia, Versailles, Binks Forest, Paddock Park: each one enforces its own finish standards, and your permit cannot move forward until the board approves your sample card. That step alone runs 30 to 45 days in some Wellington HOAs. We plan every job around that timeline from the first phone call, not the second site visit. Call (754) 238-2201 and you’ll get a live person who knows Wellington’s permitting rhythm cold.
TruePane Windows & Doors has been working in Wellington long enough to know the difference between a 1986 single-hung aluminum slider in Binks Forest and a custom estate wall in the equestrian corridor. They’re different jobs with different lead times, different finish requirements, and different conversations with the association. We speak both languages.
If you’re reading this because your original aluminum frames are oxidizing at the joints and your insulated glass has fogged between the panes, you’re not alone. Nearly every street in Wellington built out between 1978 and 2005 has this problem in one form or another. We’ll walk through what it costs, how long it takes, and what the HOA will ask for before anyone pulls a permit. No surprises. That’s the whole point of our Impact Windows & Doors process.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule he still keeps on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule has governed every install in Wellington we’ve completed since our first job here. A second-generation glazier’s standard does not bend for a tight HOA deadline or a homeowner who wants the cheapest bid in the room. We quote what the opening needs, and we install it square, level, and flashed properly.
Wellington homeowners tend to call us after the first contractor left them with a fogged seal, a door that binds in July, or a warranty claim nobody answered. We hear that story often. Our response is always the same: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s our Keystone Standard, and it’s on every invoice. If the work is not done right, the Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and submit the HOA sample card on the first visit so the review clock starts immediately. We hire locally and train apprentices into journeymen, which matters to a community that plans to be here in thirty years. So do we.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Wellington
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most of Wellington’s CBS stucco homes still carry the original builder-grade aluminum single-panes or early double-panes installed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Those windows predate the post-Hurricane Andrew 2002 building code overhaul, which means a replacement is simultaneously a wind-load upgrade and an HOA approval process. We handle both. A typical impact window replacement on a Wellington single-family home runs $18,000 to $42,000 for the full house, depending on opening count, frame material, and the manufacturer line you select.
We install CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems products regularly in Wellington, and we’ll put two or three manufacturer quotes on paper side by side so you see exactly what you’re buying. Frame color and grid style are not afterthoughts here. Your HOA has an opinion, and we get the sample card approved before we order anything.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The late-1980s pool-cage wall slider is the single most common service call we run in Wellington. Original single-hung aluminum sliders on concrete block homes have oxidized white at the joints, the weep holes are packed with landscaping debris, and the glazing seals have failed after decades of South Florida heat cycling. Replacing one with a fusion-welded impact-rated unit costs between $7,500 and $14,000 in Wellington, depending on width, finish requirements, and whether the HOA mandates a specific anodized bronze or white.
Oversized sliders on estate lots near the equestrian corridor often require special-order units from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems. Those lead times run longer, sometimes 8 to 12 weeks, and the price is fixed in writing before we place the order. We would rather tell you the truth about the schedule up front than leave you with a boarded-up opening in August.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Grand double entry doors and French doors to the pool deck are common on Wellington’s larger estate lots, and they almost always require special-order impact-rated units. A standard single impact entry door in Wellington runs $4,500 to $9,500 installed. Double French doors run $9,000 to $18,000 depending on the opening size and the hardware finish your HOA approves.
Hardware finish matters more than you’d think in Wellington. Some communities specify only bronze, others only brushed nickel. We submit the finish sample with the frame sample at the same time, so the review board approves one clean package rather than piecemeal, which would add weeks.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the weak point in every Wellington home’s wind envelope. A rated impact garage door with reinforced tracks runs $4,000 to $8,500 in this market, and Palm Beach County code requires the entire opening be protected for new installations. We coordinate the door order with the HOA board and the local permit office so both move forward at once.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We install and service more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, CWS, and ECO Window Systems. That matters in Wellington because HOA finish standards often push a job toward one manufacturer’s color line or another’s grid profile. We stock common replacement parts for Wellington service calls, and we maintain relationships with our authorized manufacturer reps so a warranty question gets answered by a person, not a voicemail tree. You’ll see the warranty durations in writing before the order is placed. That is not a perk. It is the standard.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Oxidized aluminum frames on late-1980s sliders. The original single-hung aluminum units on pool-cage walls in Binks Forest and Paddock Park have decades of heat cycling and landscaping irrigation behind them. The frames corrode at the welded joints, the weep holes clog, and water finds its way into the stucco cavity.
- Seal failure between insulated glass panes. Wellington’s afternoon convective storms from June through October drive wind-driven rain hard against west- and south-facing facades. Once a glazing seal fails, that water enters the wall system and the fogging you see between the panes is only the visible part of the problem.
- HOA architectural review board delays. In some Wellington communities, sample card approval takes 30 to 45 days before a permit can be pulled. Homeowners who do not know this order windows too late and sit boarded up through hurricane season. We start the review clock on the first visit.
- Improper flashing on original single-pane windows. The original builders flashed windows for 1985 weather, not 2026 code. We re-flash every opening with flashing tape that stops the wind-driven rain from entering stucco cavities behind the frame, which is where the rot starts.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Wellington
In Wellington communities including Olympia and Versailles, HOA architectural review board approval for impact window sample cards typically runs 30 to 45 days. No, we cannot start install work before that approval is in hand, because the permit cannot be pulled without it. What we do is submit the sample card on the first site visit, then use the waiting period to order manufacturer lead times, schedule the crew, and stage material so the job moves the moment the board signs off. Call (754) 238-2201 if you want us to start the clock on your community’s approval process.
Wellington was built out almost entirely between the late 1970s and late 1990s as a master-planned community, so most of its CBS stucco homes predate Florida’s 2002 post-Hurricane Andrew building code. The original single-pane aluminum units stayed put because the next owner never budgeted for them and the HOA never pushed it. When we upgrade them, three things happen at once: the house meets current Palm Beach County wind-load standards, the HOA review board has to approve the finish, and your insurance agent likely has something positive to say about the new wind mitigation report.
Yes, that is a real problem. Weep holes exist to drain water out of the frame track back to the exterior, and when they pack with landscaping debris the water backs up into the stucco cavity and the wall system. Sometimes we can clear the weep holes and re-seal the frame joints on a service call. But if the aluminum has oxidized at the corners or the insulated glass has fogged, the repair becomes a bandage on a unit that is already failing. The honest answer depends on what we find behind that frame, and we’ll tell you the truth either way.
Impact-rated windows and doors qualify as wind mitigation improvements under Florida’s property insurance rules, and many Wellington homeowners carry the wind mitigation report directly to their insurer after they upgrade to CGI or CWS impact units. We cannot promise a specific premium dollar amount because we are not your carrier, but the wind mitigation report we help you obtain is the document your insurer actually asks for. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll walk you through what the report covers and what to ask your agent.
It means the price we put on paper for your custom impact windows or sliding glass wall is the price you pay, measured twice, quoted manufacturer line by manufacturer line, and signed before any order goes to ES Windows or ECO Window Systems. In Wellington, it matters because HOA approval delays of 30 to 45 days mean you need certainty about the cost before you wait, not after. You are not gambling on a price that moves while the board deliberates. The quote is the quote.
Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate on impact windows and doors in Wellington. A live person answers, a uniformed technician measures twice, and the price is fixed in writing before we order anything. That is how Dale Kessler has run TruePane since 2008, and that is how we work in Wellington today.
