Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Palm Beach
Window replacement in Palm Beach runs anywhere from $900 to $4,200 per opening depending on whether you need an insert, full-frame, impact-rated, or historically faithful custom unit. Most jobs on the island take two to four days once materials arrive, with ARCOM-required historic work adding design review time. Salt air from the Atlantic on one side and Lake Worth Lagoon on the other means the cheapest window you can buy will cost you twice within a decade. We know because we rebuild the failures.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 after spending years watching out-of-true installs void manufacturer warranties and leave homeowners holding fogged glass and corroded frames. That matters in Palm Beach more than almost anywhere in Florida. The salt air here attacks a standard aluminum frame from two directions at once, and ARCOM will not let you swap a Mizner-era bronze casement for a vinyl insert on hundreds of properties in the Estate Section and along South Ocean Boulevard. Our crews work those streets regularly. We know which openings ARCOM flags, which fasteners survive the lagoon air, and which manufacturers will actually honor a coastal warranty claim without months of argument.
We are not the low bid. We are the company that registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, under The Keystone Standard. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. We stand behind it for 90 days with the Done Right Promise, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Window Replacement Services in Palm Beach
Full Frame Replacement
When the frame itself is pitted, rusted, or pulling away from the masonry, an insert will not save it. Full frame replacement in Palm Beach means removing the entire unit down to the rough opening, rebuilding the jamb with marine-grade materials, and setting the new window with stainless fasteners rated for continuous salt spray. On Mediterranean Revival homes, this often means recreating the original profile because ARCOM will not accept a standard off-the-shelf frame. We measure twice, order the exact profile, and install it so the stucco and trim lines match what was there in 1929.

Insert Window Replacement
If your existing frames are structurally sound, an insert replacement preserves the original trim and installs faster. In Palm Beach, the deciding factor is usually the condition of the jamb steel or wood behind the sash. We see plenty of homes where the visible frame looks fine but the concealed fasteners have turned to rust powder from years of humid lagoon air. We will open the wall enough to verify before we quote. If the frame is true and dry, we quote the insert. If not, we tell you plainly and quote the full frame.

Storm Window Replacement
Palm Beach County code requires impact-rated glazing or approved shutters on new replacement windows because this barrier island sits in a direct wind-borne debris corridor. Storm window replacement here means laminated impact glass, not the thin aluminum storm panels common further north. We install units from PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others, and we register the manufacturer’s impact warranty at the same time we file your permit paperwork. That warranty only holds if the install is true and the frame is square. Ours is.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Low-E glass with argon fill cuts solar gain through Palm Beach’s east-facing ocean windows and the full afternoon exposure on the Intracoastal side. On older estates, the original single-pane glass lets in heat and noise from South County Road traffic and the bridges. We retrofit energy-efficient glass into existing bronze and steel frames where ARCOM requires historic fabric to remain, and we use full replacement units where the code allows. The result is lower cooling load and glass that does not fog in January when the humidity swings hard.

Historic Window Restoration
This is where we do work almost no big-box replacement company will touch. ARCOM requires that window and door replacements on contributing Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style properties match original profiles and materials. On South Ocean Boulevard, we retrofitted an 80-year-old Mizner bronze casement window whose original single-pane glass had visible seal failure and corrosion on the sash. ARCOM would not allow a standard replacement, so our crew removed the sash, rebuilt the rusted steel jamb, and set a custom impact-laminated low-E glass unit with argon fill into the restored bronze frame, all using marine-grade stainless fasteners and flashing tape rated for salt spray. That is not a job you can order from a catalog. It takes a glazier who has done it before.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Palm Beach we lean on the ones that hold up to salt air and satisfy ARCOM. Andersen, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows come up most often because their coastal impact ratings are documented and their warranty departments do not look for reasons to deny a claim. For historic bronze and steel profiles, we work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for custom fabrications that match the original sightlines. We will quote two or three manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the frame spec, the glass package, and the warranty duration before you choose. No mystery, no upsell after the fact.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Standard aluminum frames pitting and corroding within five to seven years. Dual-ocean salt exposure eats non-marine-grade extrusion faster than manufacturers expect. We spec marine-grade aluminum or protected bronze in coastal applications, and we see the difference on our own installs from a decade ago.
- Insulated glass units fogging prematurely. Salt-laden humidity from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal degrades standard seals faster than inland. The argon leaks out, the glass fogs, and the thermal performance dies. We replace failed IGU glass more than any other repair on this island.
- ARCOM-required bronze and steel casement windows rusting at the jamb and sash. Original paint systems from the 1920s and 1930s were never meant for barrier-island conditions. The window sticks, the handle snaps off, or the wind whistles through a gap that closes in July but opens in January. Restoration means stripping, treating, and repainting with marine coatings, then setting new glass.
- Impact window installs that leak at the sill because the original opening was not flashed for two-sided moisture. The cheap inland spec uses standard flashing tape and aluminum fasteners. We use stainless fasteners and flashing rated for continuous salt spray, because the first tropical storm will find every shortcut.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Palm Beach, FL
A typical insert window replacement in Palm Beach runs $900 to $1,800 per opening for mid-grade impact-rated glass. Full frame replacement runs $1,800 to $3,500 per opening depending on size, material, and whether ARCOM review is required. Historic bronze or steel casement restoration with custom impact-laminated glass runs $3,000 to $4,200 per opening, and on some Estate Section properties with custom arched profiles, that number climbs higher. The price gap between a coastal-spec job and the inland-spec quote you might get from a West Palm Beach installer runs 20 to 40 percent. The cheap spec uses standard aluminum extrusion, standard fasteners, and standard flashing. Within seven years, you will replace the fasteners, reseal the flashing, and possibly replace the frame. The coastal spec costs more on day one and less over the life of the house. We quote it honestly, in writing, and we do not surprise you with a change order after the wall is open.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Palm Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County’s wind codes apply to the entire town, not just oceanfront parcels. Replacement windows must meet impact-rated glazing or protected-opening requirements regardless of your distance from the dune line. The barrier island sits in a wind-borne debris corridor during Atlantic hurricane seasons, and the code reflects that. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will tell you exactly which rating your opening requires.
Usually not without ARCOM approval. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission requires that window replacements on contributing Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style properties match the original profiles and materials. That means a standard rectangular impact unit will be rejected on an arched Mizner-era opening. You need a custom-fabricated unit that keeps the original arch geometry and sightlines while carrying impact-laminated glass. We handle those ARCOM submittals regularly. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will walk you through what your specific block requires.
Because the marine-grade materials and ARCOM compliance add real cost. On the island, we specify stainless fasteners, salt-rated flashing, and either marine-grade aluminum or protected bronze, because the Atlantic and the Intracoastal waterway corrode standard hardware from two sides at once. Add ARCOM design review, custom fabrication for historic profiles, and the cost of working on narrow barrier-island streets with strict delivery windows, and you get the price gap. The inland-spec quote fails early. Call (754) 238-2201 for a line-item quote that shows where every dollar goes.
Yes, and we do it routinely. The original bronze frame stays in place. We remove the sash, strip and treat any corrosion on the jamb, and set a new custom impact-laminated low-E glass unit into the restored profile. The new IGU is built to the exact dimensions of the old opening, which on Mizner-era windows are rarely perfectly square. This is the work we performed on South Ocean Boulevard with an 80-year-old bronze casement, and ARCOM accepted the result because the exterior profile did not change. Call (754) 238-2201 and we will inspect your windows and tell you which openings can be saved.
If the frame is pitted, swollen, or pulling away from the stucco, it needs a full-frame replacement. You cannot see the concealed fasteners behind the trim, but on Palm Beach we find rust powder behind the casing on homes just 15 years old because dual-ocean salt air works its way behind the finish. We will open enough of the wall during the estimate to check the jamb and the fasteners before we quote either path. If the frame is true, we quote the insert. If it is not, we quote the full frame. No guessing, no mid-job surprise. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate.
