Fast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach run $1,800 to $4,200 per opening installed, and most projects take two to four weeks from permit to final inspection. That range covers the window itself, the dual permitting most Palm Beach properties require, and an installation crew that shows up when they say they will. Call us at (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a line-item quote on paper before you commit to anything. We know the bar you’re dealing with here because we’ve worked this island long enough to respect it.
This page is for homeowners on the island who want the real story on impact windows and doors in Palm Beach: what they cost, why the approval process here is different than anywhere else in Florida, and what actually happens when a contractor gets it wrong. We’ll walk through all of that without the sales fog.
Key Takeaways:
- Palm Beach sits in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which means impact windows here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA certification, not just a generic Florida Product Approval.
- The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) can reject a fully code-compliant installation if the frame profile or muntin pattern doesn’t match the historic character of your home.
- Salt air on this barrier island corrodes interior-grade aluminum and hardware within 18 to 24 months. Marine-grade components are not optional here.
- We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and every job carries our Done Right Promise.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, out of a simple frustration: out-of-true installs and voided warranties are preventable problems, and Palm Beach homeowners deserve better than a contractor who disappears after the final check clears. We’re service-coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, but our crews live and work right here in the Palm Beach area, and the company has served local communities since 2008 through Dale’s family lineage in the glazing trade. When a Palm Beach client calls us about a fogged impact sliding glass door or an ARCOM rejection on their casement windows, they’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a Mizner-era steel frame and a big-box vinyl retrofit.
Our Palm Beach customers call rather than click. They remember the contractor who left them with a door that binds in July and a window that sweats in January. We earn their business by doing what we say we’ll do: showing up on time, measuring every opening twice, and putting side-by-side manufacturer quotes on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. No surprise line items. No second appointment left hanging. A live person answers our phone at (561) 708-6771, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They work in your home the way they’d work in their own mother’s. We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI, and we register both warranty layers in writing with durations stated before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Palm Beach is not a market where you can swap in stock units and call it a day. The housing stock here, much of it built between the 1920s and 1940s by Addison Mizner and his contemporaries, demands custom fabrication, historic sensitivity, and a working knowledge of HVHZ wind-load engineering. Here’s what we handle most often on the island:
Hurricane Impact Windows
A typical impact window installation in Palm Beach runs $1,800 to $4,200 per opening, depending on the opening’s size, whether it’s arched or custom, and which manufacturer line you choose. On the island, most homes need Miami-Dade NOA-certified products that can withstand a category 5 wind event while matching the original muntin pattern and frame profile of a 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate. We measure every opening twice and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the full price picture before we start.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors in Palm Beach typically run $3,500 to $8,000 installed, with the higher end carrying custom sizes, pocket configurations, or marine-grade hardware for oceanfront exposure. Hurricanes here aren’t theoretical. A properly installed and NOA-certified impact sliding door in Palm Beach keeps your opening sealed through the storm and protects your interior from wind-driven water intrusion. We install these to hold their rating in salt air, which means marine-grade rollers, tracks, and locking hardware that won’t pit out in two years.

Impact Entry & French Doors
Palm Beach estates, particularly those styled after Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, often feature arched entryways and heavy French door sets that can’t be addressed by simply pulling a stock door off the shelf. Impact entry doors and French doors in Palm Beach usually run $3,200 to $7,500 per door unit, installed, with custom arched tops or decorative transoms adding to fabrication cost. We fabricate to the opening, not the other way around, and we handle ARCOM sign-off as part of the job.

Impact Garage Doors
Impact garage doors are a different animal than windows, but the wind-load requirements are just as strict here. A Palm Beach impact garage door generally runs $2,800 to $6,500 installed, depending on the opening width, whether tracks need reinforcement, and whether the existing framing can carry the additional dead load of a reinforced panel system. On the island, a garage door that lets go under positive or negative wind pressure can pressurize your entire home and blow windows out from the inside. We size, brace, and install garage doors to the same NOA standard as the rest of the opening.

Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
This is the part of the job that most contractors in West Palm Beach and Greenacres never have to think about, but it’s the part that makes or breaks a Palm Beach project. The Town requires a building permit AND ARCOM sign-off for replacement windows and doors on most properties, particularly those in the historic districts and on landmark Mizner-era structures. We handle the entire dual-approval path: filing the NOA documentation, submitting the ARCOM application with the correct frame profile and muntin pattern specs, and scheduling the inspections that close the permit. You shouldn’t have to become a code specialist to replace a window. That’s our job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Palm Beach projects we most often quote Andersen, Pella, and Marvin because those lines offer the custom frame profiles, muntin patterns, and marine-grade hardware the island’s housing stock actually requires. Milgard also comes up on Mid-Century Modern homes with large fixed glass and steel framing. We don’t push one brand. We quote two or three lines side by side on paper so you can compare frame construction, glass packages, warranty terms, and price. And because we stock marine-grade hardware and common components for Palm Beach’s specific corrosion environment, turnaround on service and replacement parts is faster than ordering blind from a distributor.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on interior-grade hardware. Windows installed with hardware rated for interior markets will show pitting on the hinges, locks, and tracks within 18 to 24 months here. The Atlantic spray on one side and the Intracoastal on the other means the air itself eats aluminum. We specify marine-grade hardware on every Palm Beach opening, every time.
- ARCOM rejections on stock rectangular units. A contractor puts in a fully code-compliant NOA window that’s perfectly safe and perfectly wrong. ARCOM issues a stop-work order because the frame profile doesn’t match the original steel casement. The homeowner is now paying twice. We submit the ARCOM paperwork before the window is ordered, not after it’s on the truck.
- Failed seals on original 1920s and 1930s casements. The original Mizner-era steel casements lose their argon fill and their jamb seals fail from decades of salt and sun exposure. Fogging between the panes is the tell. These openings can’t just be swapped for stock vinyl or aluminum units, both because of the opening geometry and the ARCOM requirement. Custom fabrication is usually the only path that holds up.
- Wind-driven water intrusion around sliding glass doors. Palm Beach sees significant wind-driven rain even in tropical storms that never reach hurricane strength. A sliding glass door with a degraded track seal or an improperly flashed sill will let water in under wind pressure, and that water finds its way under flooring and into wall cavities. We set sills on a bed of sealant and flash the rough opening to drain, not just to look good from the outside.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Yes. Palm Beach is one of the few places in the country where a code-perfect impact window installation can still be rejected. The Town building permit covers life safety and wind-load compliance under HVHZ requirements. ARCOM covers the aesthetic and historic character review, which means the frame profile, muntin pattern, glass reflectivity, and even the color of the frame must be consistent with the property’s original Mizner-era architecture. We handle both applications, in the right order, before the window is ordered. Call (561) 708-6771 if you want to know whether your specific property triggers ARCOM review.
The short answer is that it depends on where the outbuilding sits in relation to the septic drain field, the well, and the site plan that’s on file with the county. If the outbuilding was permitted as accessory, adding an impact sliding glass door is usually straightforward. If it was built under an older code cycle or permitted as agricultural, the county may require a site plan review, a finished-floor elevation check, and a drainage and grading review that city-only permits would skip. We scope all of this before we quote so the county doesn’t hand you a surprise halfway through the job.
Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. The constant salt spray and marine air cause interior-grade aluminum frames and standard steel hardware to pit and fail visibly within 18 to 24 months, which eventually compromises the NOA-rated water resistance of the window. West Palm Beach, a few miles inland, doesn’t see the same salt loading. We specify marine-grade aluminum, stainless or coated hardware, and salt-resistant weatherstripping for every window we install on the island, and we replace interior-grade components when we service an existing installation.
NOA stands for Notice of Acceptance. It’s Miami-Dade County’s product approval for building components that meet the High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, the strictest wind-load standard in the United States. Palm Beach falls within the HVHZ, so any impact window or door installed here must carry a Miami-Dade NOA number. A window with a generic Florida Product Approval is not adequate for Palm Beach. We only quote NOA-certified products for island projects.
Most of the time, ARCOM is primarily concerned with the frame profile, muntin pattern, and glass reflectivity, not the low-E coating itself. A standard low-E insulated glass unit with a neutral, non-reflective appearance typically passes review as long as the frame and muntin configuration match the original. That said, highly reflective or tinted glass is commonly rejected. We submit a complete sample package with frame cross-section drawings and glass reflectance data with the ARCOM application, so the commission sees exactly what will be installed before we order anything.
