AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach carries a set of demands you won’t find a few miles west in West Palm Beach. Salt air works on frames and hardware from two directions at once here, the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission reviews most exterior changes on older homes, and many of the island’s Mizner-era estates have window openings that don’t match any modern stock size. We’ve worked these jobs for years. Call (754) 339-0784 and you’ll reach a live person who can talk through your specific house, not a call center routing you to a callback form.
Most Palm Beach homeowners who call us are in one of two situations: they have original steel casement windows that are quietly corroding behind intact paint, or they’re planning a renovation and need impact-rated replacements that will pass ARCOM review without looking like a vinyl patch stuck on a 1929 landmark. Both are jobs where local knowledge is the difference between a clean install and an open-ended contract. We price our work up front, with the inspection findings written into the scope before we touch a wall.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that Palm Beach is not one market. A condo on South Ocean Boulevard has different needs than an Addison Mizner house on El Bravo Way, and a 1950s CBS ranch in the Estate Section is a different job from a 2005 spec house near Phipps Ocean Park. Our crews know the island’s housing stock because they’ve opened walls on all of it. We don’t send a salesperson who’s never touched a rough opening. We send background-checked technicians who measure every opening twice and price what they actually see.
Our reputation in Palm Beach is built on the jobs where the first quote wasn’t the whole story. A homeowner on El Bravo Way called us to replace two corroded steel casement sashes. When we opened the wall, the masonry surrounding the rough opening had failed from decades of dual-exposure salt air. The impact-rated Andersen replacement couldn’t be set until we rebuilt the jamb structure and reflashed the opening properly. We priced that scope in writing before we proceeded, and the ARCOM package went through with matching arched profiles. That’s how we handle discovery on this island.
Every TruePane job carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard. That means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. You get a written line-item quote with no change orders that weren’t approved by you first. A live person answers the phone at (754) 339-0784, 24 hours a day. When you call about a window on this island, you’re talking to someone who knows what the salt does to a steel frame.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Casement Windows
Casement windows are the dominant aesthetic on Palm Beach’s Mizner-era estates, but the original steel versions are rarely worth saving once you see what’s behind the paint. We install modern impact-rated casements that replicate the sightlines of original steel units while adding the performance the Florida Building Code demands. The trick on the island is matching the arched tops and the dimensional quirks of hand-built masonry openings. We measure, mock up, and order custom sizes from manufacturers who actually fill those openings, not stock units that get shimmed into a gap.
Awning Windows
Awning windows show up all over Palm Beach, particularly on 1950s and 1960s CBS homes where the original builders wanted ventilation without a casement’s crank hardware to maintain. The problem on the island is track corrosion: salt air settles in the bottom tracks and hardware wears out years faster than it would inland. We replace awning windows with modern units built for coastal performance, and we replace the flashing detail while we’re at it because that’s usually where the moisture has been getting in.
Fixed & Picture Windows
Fixed and picture windows are common on Palm Beach homes where the view is the point: oceanfront condos on South Ocean Boulevard, Intracoastal-facing houses along North Lake Way. A fixed window has no moving parts to fail, but it’s still a sealed opening in a masonry wall, and the sealant details are what keep wind-driven rain out during a storm. We use the right flashing tape integration for concrete and CBS walls. That’s not a small detail on this island. Done wrong, it traps salt-laden moisture against the new glass and the insulated unit fails years early.
Single & Double Hung
Single and double hung windows are less common on the historic island homes, but they appear throughout the 1960s-1980s construction in the Estate Section and around the Phipps Ocean Park area. The springs or block-and-tackle balances on these units take a beating in the salt air, and jamb liners get sticky. We replace them with modern hung windows that close tight and lock properly, sized to fit openings that were rarely built to today’s rough-opening standards.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. For Palm Beach work specifically, we quote Andersen, Pella, and PGT most often because they offer true impact-rated lines that can be ordered with the custom arched profiles and dimensional adjustments Mizner-era openings require. We don’t push one brand. We show you side-by-side quotes on paper so you can see what you’re buying, then register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Hidden steel casement corrosion behind intact paint. Original Mizner-era steel windows on the island rust from the inside out, and the paint can look fine while the frame is structurally gone. Homeowners often discover this only when a contractor starts removing the old unit and the masonry surround crumbles.
- Rough openings that don’t match modern impact-rated units. Many 1920s masonry openings were built by hand around then-standard steel casements, not around today’s frame dimensions. Stock impact units leave gaps that fail wind-driven rain tests unless the opening is rebuilt or a custom unit is ordered.
- Improper flashing on concrete and CBS walls. Standard flashing details that work on wood-frame construction trap salt-laden moisture against the new glass unit when applied to masonry. Seal failure follows within a few years, and the homeowner is back where they started.
- ARCOM approval delays from mismatched profile packages. If the town’s Architectural Commission rejects the first submission because the replacement windows don’t match the original arched or steel profiles, the project stalls for weeks or months. Submitting the right package the first time is a real cost and timeline issue on the island.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
The honest numbers: A standard impact-rated single or double hung replacement on a mainland Palm Beach County home might run $1,800 to $3,200 installed. On the island, that same window in a Mizner-era masonry opening with ARCOM review and custom sizing typically runs $3,500 to $7,500. Casement windows in non-standard openings usually fall between $2,800 and $6,000. Awning windows, depending on size, run $1,500 to $3,800 installed. If we open the wall and the rough opening needs masonry reconstruction, that’s an additional scope we price in writing before we proceed, not a surprise line item.
What moves the price in Palm Beach: whether the structure is a Town-designated contributing building (ARCOM review required), whether the opening is dimensionally standard or custom, whether the existing lintel and jamb structure are intact, and whether the replacement line is impact-rated. Every TruePane quote is free, written, and itemized. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll set a time to measure.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Yes, almost certainly. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission reviews exterior window changes on designated historic or contributing structures, and “same look” is not a waiver. The replacement must replicate the original material profile, sightlines, and finish, which usually means custom-sourced impact units, not stock products. We prepare ARCOM packages with the exact profiles, elevations, and manufacturer specs the board expects. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll walk you through what your specific house will need.
We inspect as we remove, and we document what we find before any new work proceeds. If the masonry jamb or sill has failed, we price the rough-opening reconstruction in writing and get your approval before rebuilding. You’re never presented with a bill for work you didn’t authorize. On the island, that discovery is common enough that we plan for it in the proposal stage, not after the wall is open.
Salt air attacks frames, hardware, tracks, and the protective seals on insulated glass units, and it does so from both the ocean and Intracoastal sides of the island. A window that would last 20 years in West Palm Beach may show corrosion around the hardware and track at year 10 on Palm Beach. That’s why we spec marine-grade hardware and proper flashing details on every coastal job, and why both warranty layers matter so much here. Call (754) 339-0784 for an exact recommendation for your location on the island.
Palm Beach falls within Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, and the Florida Building Code requires impact-resistant glazing or compliant shuttering on all replacement openings. If you have shutters that meet the current code standard and are properly installed, non-impact glazing may be permitted, but that’s a permit-office decision, not an installer’s preference. We’ll tell you what the code allows for your specific opening and you can decide with accurate information. Estimates are free at (754) 339-0784.
Because on the island’s Mizner-era homes, the quote is often wrong until the wall tells you what’s behind it. A contractor who quotes a stock impact casement in a 1929 masonry opening is either planning to shim and caulk the gaps, or planning to hit you with a change order when the rough opening turns out to be non-standard. We’ll quote what we can see, price an allowance for what we can’t, and anything beyond that gets approved in writing before we touch it. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll come measure.
