TruePane Windows & Doors has been replacing windows in Royal Palm Beach long enough to know exactly what’s behind the stucco on a 1984 CBS ranch off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard: original aluminum frames, powder-dry caulk, and rough openings that were never flashed. We’re not a franchise crew that shows up with a sales binder. We’re a second-generation glazier’s shop, and Dale Kessler set the standard the day he founded the company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
How Much Does Window Replacement Cost in Royal Palm Beach?
A straightforward insert replacement in Royal Palm Beach runs $600 to $1,800 per window depending on size, glass package, and frame condition. Full-frame replacement, where we pull the old aluminum frame out to the rough opening and rebuild the flashing, runs $1,200 to $3,400 per opening. Impact-rated units meeting Palm Beach County wind-load code add $300 to $700 per window over standard glass, and on a 1980s CBS home, that is rarely optional anymore.
Here’s the line-item reality for Royal Palm Beach’s housing stock:
- Insert replacement (aluminum or vinyl), standard low-E glass: $600-$1,400 per window installed
- Full-frame replacement, standard glass: $1,200-$2,200 per opening
- Full-frame replacement with impact-rated glass (PGT or Simonton): $1,800-$3,400 per opening
- Jalousie-to-impact conversion in an enclosed Florida room: $2,200-$4,500 per opening, depending on framing condition and header work
- Energy-efficient upgrade (low-E + argon, existing frames): $700-$1,700 per window
These are real ranges for this market. What moves the number is framing condition once we open the wall, and that’s what the free estimate is for. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll give you exact numbers in writing, with both manufacturer warranty layers registered before we start.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Royal Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
Royal Palm Beach homeowners tend to be stayers. They bought in the 80s and 90s, raised kids here, and plan to die in the same house. When they call about windows, they’re not shopping six bids and asking who’s cheapest. They’re calling because their insurer sent a non-renewal notice over the jalousie windows in the Florida room, or because the casement windows in the back bedrooms have been fogged for three years and they’re tired of looking through it.
We’ve built our reputation in this village the slow way. Background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice. Side-by-side quotes on paper showing PGT against Simonton against Jeld-Wen, so you see exactly what you’re buying and what it costs. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. When a Royal Palm Beach homeowner calls at 7 a.m. on a Saturday because a storm took out a window, a person picks up.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the trade runs deeper than that. Years of community service through the Kessler family craft tradition. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we’re planning to be in Royal Palm Beach in thirty years, still answering the phone.
Our Window Replacement Services in Royal Palm Beach
Full Frame Replacement
This is the job that actually fixes the problem. We pull the entire window out to the rough opening, inspect the framing, replace rotted or undersized wood, install new flashing to current code, and set the new window true. On Royal Palm Beach’s late-70s to mid-90s CBS homes, this is the only way to address the flashing deficiencies and frame rot that insert replacements leave hidden. If your insurer is demanding wind-mitigation certification, full-frame impact-rated replacement is almost always the answer.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing aluminum frame is still square and the rough opening is intact, an insert replacement is the leaner path. We remove the sashes and hardware, set a new energy-efficient unit into the existing frame, and seal it properly. This works well on Royal Palm Beach homes where the original frames haven’t been compromised by water intrusion, and it keeps the price down without sacrificing glass quality. We will tell you honestly if your frame is not worth saving, because we’d rather you spend money on a fix that lasts than on one that leaks again in three years.
Storm Window Replacement
Storm windows in Royal Palm Beach are not decorative. They’re the difference between a claim and a catastrophe when a September hurricane tracks through Palm Beach County. We replace aging storm units with impact-rated glazing that meets Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for this area. For the 1980s CBS homes along the Royal Palm Beach Boulevard corridor, this often means converting jalousie and single-pane casement openings to true impact systems that an insurer will actually accept.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Royal Palm Beach’s humidity rarely drops below 60%, and the May-through-October afternoon thunderstorm cycle is relentless. Original aluminum frames from the 80s have seal failures that show up as fog between panes within a decade. We upgrade with low-E coated glass and argon-fill insulated units that cut solar heat gain and hold up to this climate. Most Royal Palm Beach homeowners notice the difference on their FPL bill within the first summer, but the main difference is comfort. That back bedroom that bakes in July stops baking.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Royal Palm Beach Homes
- Jalousie windows failing wind-mitigation inspection. The jalousie units still installed in enclosed Florida rooms and secondary bedrooms across older Royal Palm Beach subdivisions are essentially uninsurable under current private carrier underwriting guidelines. Insurers in Palm Beach County are actively surcharging or non-renewing policies on homes with these openings, so replacement is no longer a cosmetic choice, it’s a coverage necessity.
- Seal failure from humidity and storm cycles. Royal Palm Beach sits roughly 15 miles inland, so you avoid the worst direct salt-air corrosion of the coast. What you get instead is year-round humidity that rarely drops below 60% and intense May-October thunderstorms. That combination accelerates weatherstripping degradation and breaks the seals on aging aluminum frames, leaving fog between the panes that cannot be repaired.
- Missing or failed flashing on 1980s CBS rough openings. When we pull the original aluminum frames on homes built during Royal Palm Beach’s late-70s to mid-90s buildout, we routinely find rough openings with no flashing tape and caulk that has turned to powder. The window looked fine from the outside. It was leaking into the wall cavity for years.
- Undersized rough openings that make insert replacements a bad bet. The uniformity of Royal Palm Beach’s housing vintage means the same rough opening sizes repeat across entire neighborhoods, but many were framed tight to the original aluminum unit. An insert replacement into that kind of opening often means the glass area shrinks and the frame never seats properly. Full-frame replacement fixes the opening itself, not just the window inside it.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Royal Palm Beach, FL
We already gave you the ranges above. Here’s what actually moves a Royal Palm Beach quote. First, whether the opening requires impact-rated glazing, which it almost always does now. Palm Beach County is a high-wind-load zone, and impact glazing is code-required on replacements regardless of your distance from the coast. Second, what we find behind the frame. If the rough opening has rotted wood or the header is undersized, that work gets priced before we touch it. We write allowances into the contract for exactly this. And third, the glass package itself: low-E coatings, argon fill, and noise-reduction laminates all add to the per-unit price. You’ll never get a number from us that changes once work starts. Every surprise is priced and approved in writing first. That’s a square deal, and it’s the only kind we do.
Window Replacement in Royal Palm Beach: The Insurance Reality
Here’s what makes Royal Palm Beach different from Wellington or West Palm Beach, and it’s the reason most of our calls from this village start the same way: the insurance company sent a letter. Royal Palm Beach’s housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family CBS homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. Every one of them predates Florida’s post-Andrew impact resistance mandates. The ongoing collapse of Florida’s homeowner’s insurance market has turned window and door replacement from a renovation choice into a financial emergency for residents here. Insurers operating in Palm Beach County are actively surcharging or non-renewing policies on homes lacking wind-mitigation-certified impact openings. So nearly every estimate call we take in Royal Palm Beach is a conversation about insurance savings as much as it is about product features. The homeowner is not just replacing windows, they are keeping their policy.
We recently replaced the original aluminum single-pane casement windows on a 1980s CBS home off Okeechobee Boulevard. When we pulled the first jamb, we found the rough opening had no flashing tape and the old caulk had turned to powder, a seal failure waiting to happen. Our crew installed Simonton impact-rated double-hung units with low-E glass and argon fill, re-flashed every opening to current code, and the homeowner’s insurance carrier reinstated their wind-mitigation discount. That is the whole job in one story. The window was never going to fail from the glass inward. It was failing from the frame outward.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Royal Palm Beach
Yes, in almost every case, replacing jalousie units with impact-rated windows that meet current Florida Building Code wind-load standards is exactly what your insurer is asking for. The jalousie style itself is the problem: it cannot pass wind-mitigation inspection under current private carrier underwriting guidelines. A full-frame impact replacement with the proper product approval documentation gives your carrier what they need to reinstate or maintain coverage. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll bring the paperwork your insurer requires, registered in writing before we leave.
Royal Palm Beach sits in a high-wind-load zone, so any replacement window must meet Palm Beach County’s current impact glazing requirements regardless of your distance from the ocean. For a 1980s CBS home, that typically means either impact-rated insulated glass units or opening protection systems. The specific product approval number your home needs depends on the opening size and the wind-load calculations for your address. We handle that paperwork every week. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate that includes the code-compliant glass package your exact opening requires.
Not if you want energy efficiency or insurance compliance. Aluminum frames from Royal Palm Beach’s 1980s buildout have no thermal break, so even new glass loses performance through the frame itself. Impact-rated glass cannot be retrofit into most original aluminum frames because the frame was never designed to carry the load. If the frame is square and sealing properly, an insert replacement with a new insulated unit can work. If it’s deteriorating, you’re paying for glass that will leak around the jamb within a few years. We’ll tell you which situation you have. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll inspect it honestly.
Seal failure fog is permanent, it’s between the panes of glass, and you cannot wipe it away from either side. It’s caused by the desiccant inside the spacer bar becoming saturated and the seal between the glass layers breaking down. Royal Palm Beach’s 60%+ humidity accelerates this on aging aluminum frames. Surface condensation that forms on the room side of the glass and clears when you run the AC or wipe it is just humidity inside the house. If the fog is between the glass, the unit is done and replacement is the fix. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll confirm what you’re dealing with at no charge.
Yes, and the savings are measurable, though they vary by the number of openings and your current glass. A typical one-story CBS home in Royal Palm Beach replacing original single-pane aluminum windows with low-E argon-filled units can see FPL savings of 10 to 20 percent during the summer months. The bigger difference is comfort: rooms along the east side of the house stop becoming ovens by 2 p.m., and the AC cycles less often. The savings come from cutting solar heat gain, not from the windows themselves cooling the house. Call (754) 339-0784 for an estimate and we’ll walk through what your specific floor plan should expect.
