Pricing & Cost FAQs
Window replacement in Boynton Beach typically runs $450 to $1,400 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, glass package and whether the opening needs reframing. Impact-rated windows required in much of coastal Palm Beach County push toward the higher end, while standard vinyl double-hungs in an interior bedroom land lower. Every job gets a written line-item quote before any work starts, so you see exactly where the money goes. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate on your specific openings.
Impact windows in Boynton Beach generally cost $800 to $1,800 per opening installed, with PGT and CGI lines carrying different price points depending on size and frame finish. The cost reflects the laminated glass, reinforced frames and the engineering that goes into meeting Florida Building Code wind-load standards. Kissimee-grade and builder-grade units cost less than full coastal ratings, so the quote depends on your home's exposure zone. We price PGT and CGI side by side on paper so you can see the difference before you choose. Call (561) 708-6771 for an exact quote.
A new front door in Boynton Beach typically costs $1,200 to $4,500 installed, with fiberglass lines like Therma-Tru sitting mid-range and custom wood or wrought-iron doors at the top. The price includes the slab, frame, hardware, weatherstripping and finishing. If the rough opening has sagged or rotted along the sill, reframing adds to the bill and we'll flag that in the estimate before you commit. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll price your door with the manufacturer lines quoted side by side.
Cheap vinyl windows in Boynton Beach run $300 to $500 installed and use thin frames, single-strength glass and hardware that wears out in five to eight years. Mid-grade windows cost $600 to $1,100 and carry thicker multichamber frames, low-E glass coatings, better balances and hardware you can still buy parts for a decade later. The climate here punishes cheap seals: salt air, humidity and afternoon sun on the west exposure. We quote mid-grade as the floor for a reason. Call (561) 708-6771 for a comparison quote.
No, not if the job was measured and quoted properly. We write fixed-price estimates with no change orders unless hidden damage shows up after the old unit comes out, and even then we show you the rot or framing issue before we touch it. In Boynton Beach's older concrete-block homes, a surprise is usually termite damage or rusted lintels, and we document it with photos. The Keystone Standard applies: no surprises on the bill, ever. Call (561) 708-6771 for a written estimate you can hold us to.
Service & Process FAQs
Most full-home window replacements in Boynton Beach take two to four working days once the units arrive, with a day or two for stucco patching and interior trim touch-up after. A single window runs half a day. Lead time on the units themselves is usually four to eight weeks depending on the manufacturer and glass package. We'll give you a schedule in the estimate and we'll be there when we say. Call (561) 708-6771 to get your job on the calendar.
Yes, when the job requires one, and that's most window and door replacements in Boynton Beach. Florida Building Code requires permits for any opening change where the rough opening, lintel or structural frame is touched, and impact-rated work with a Notice of Acceptance always gets filed. We handle the permit paperwork, schedule the inspection and make sure it passes before we call the job done. It's not optional at the coast, and a company that skips it is handing you a problem at resale. Call (561) 708-6771 and ask us about your specific scope.
Yes, insert or pocket replacement windows fit inside the existing frame and are common in Boynton Beach's concrete-block homes where the original aluminum frame is still square and sound. If the frame is rotted, racked or leaking, we recommend a full-frame replacement, which costs more but fixes the actual problem. We measure every opening twice and tell you honestly which route serves you. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (561) 708-6771 for a measurement visit.
Usually yes, if the budget allows. Doors and windows share the same opening, flashing and trim details, and doing them together in Boynton Beach means one permit, one inspection, one crew and one set of stucco patches instead of two. It also lets you match finishes and hardware across the whole envelope. If you need to phase it, we'll sequence the work so the door replacements don't create trim conflicts with future window swaps. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll map it out.
Generally no, and for a simple reason: we stand behind the work, and standing behind it means knowing exactly what was installed and who backs the warranty. We quote Therma-Tru, ViewLux, PGT and CGI side by side, register both warranty layers before we leave your driveway, and keep records long after the truck pulls away. If you've already bought units, we can discuss installation on a case-by-case basis, but the warranty line is clearer when we supply and install. Call (561) 708-6771 to talk it through.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install and stand behind PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru and ViewLux, quoting them side by side on paper so you can see the price, warranty and glass package differences clearly. Each manufacturer has strengths for different Boynton Beach situations: PGT and CGI dominate the impact-rated coastal market, Therma-Tru leads on entry doors, and ViewLux suits replacement applications where a clean vinyl line works. We don't push one brand across every job. Call (561) 708-6771 for a side-by-side quote.
For homes east of I-95 in Boynton Beach, yes. PGT and CGI both build impact-rated units designed specifically for Florida's wind-load requirements, and they carry long glass and frame warranties that hold up better to salt air than generic vinyl. The premium runs 20 to 40 percent over standard units, and you recover some of that in insurance discounts and not boarding up before a storm. In Golf, Manalapan and Ocean Ridge, the coastal exposure makes them the standard, not the upgrade. Call (561) 708-6771 for a comparison quote on your openings.
Fiberglass, and Therma-Tru is the line we quote most in Boynton Beach for exactly that reason. It doesn't swell, warp or rot in the humidity that eats wood doors on the coast, and it takes paint or stain finishes that hold up through summer sun. Steel doors rust at the bottom rail within a few years of salt air unless they're perfectly sealed and maintained. Wood doors are beautiful and expensive, and they need refinishing every couple of years to survive here. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll show you the options.
That's a failed seal. The insulating glass unit, the IGU, has lost its seal and moisture is now trapped between the two panes, which is why the fog won't wipe off from either side. In Boynton Beach, seal failure shows up faster than in drier climates because the humidity keeps pushing moisture against the seal edge. A failed IGU can't be repaired in place, but the glass unit can often be replaced without replacing the whole window, which costs about half as much. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll tell you what's possible on your specific unit.
We replace broken glass in Boynton Beach when the frame and sash are still sound, which is the case more often than you'd think on aluminum and newer vinyl units. The glass package gets matched, the IGU gets rebuilt or ordered, and the sash gets remounted and sealed. If the frame is bent, rotted or obsolete, a whole new window is sometimes the cheaper long-term move. We'll measure, show you the two options and let you decide with numbers on paper. Call (561) 708-6771 for a glass replacement quote.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and TruePane carries the coverage a Boynton Beach homeowner should expect from any tradesman on their property. We're happy to show proof of both before work starts, and we don't touch a job that needs a permit without pulling it. The license, insurance and permit are table stakes, not a selling point. Call (561) 708-6771 if you want to verify ours.
We build and train our team locally, the way a company that plans to be in Boynton Beach in thirty years acts. The work is done with TruePane's standards and the Keystone Standard behind it: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, no arguing. If something is not right, we come back. Call (561) 708-6771 to talk about your project and how we run it.
We handle it. Pulling a Boynton Beach building permit means filing the right forms, scheduling the inspection and standing there when the inspector walks the job. We do all three, and if the inspection flags something, we fix it and get it re-inspected before we call the job done. A homeowner should never have to become a permit expediter. Call (561) 708-6771 and ask about your project's permit path.
Emergency & Response FAQs
We answer the phone during our posted hours, Monday through Sunday, 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and we'll get your situation assessed and scheduled, typically fast for a broken pane or a door that won't close. A shattered slider or a door that won't lock is a security problem, not just a comfort one. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll talk you through securing the opening and getting the repair on the books.
First, get the water stopped if it's getting into the house, then call us. In Boynton Beach, the usual causes are failed or missing flashing above the window, a cracked stucco seam at the head, or a window that's simply out of true. The fix varies from caulking and flashing repair to a full re-install, and we won't know until we see the opening. Don't wait through a summer rain season: water intrusion rots framing and jamb material fast in this humidity. Call (561) 708-6771 for a leak assessment.
You can, and you should, if a broken window is leaving your Boynton Beach home open to weather or to someone walking in. Plywood cut to fit, screwed or nailed over the opening from outside, is a temporary but effective measure for a day or two. If the break is in impact glass, be careful handling the shattered pane: the lamination holds pieces together but the edges still cut. Wear gloves, tape over the break with duct tape, and call (561) 708-6771 when you're ready to schedule the repair.
Yes, we install year-round in Boynton Beach, but the lead time on impact-rated units gets longer in the spring and early summer when everyone is thinking about the season. If you're considering impact windows, the smartest time to order is November through February, when manufacturer lead times are shortest and we can schedule at your convenience. The work doesn't stop in summer, but the units don't arrive overnight. Call (561) 708-6771 to talk about timing. If you're pricing impact windows while a storm is spinning in the Atlantic, understand that no one finishes an impact install the week before landfall. We price honestly.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
The Keystone Standard, applied to windows and doors: both warranty layers in writing, durations stated, 90 days on our workmanship, no arguing. That means we register the manufacturer's glass and frame warranty, we hand you the paperwork showing both durations, and we cover our own installation work for 90 days. If something's not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing. That's the promise stamped on every job. Call (561) 708-6771 and ask about it.
The manufacturer warranty covers the window or door itself: the glass seal, the hardware, the frame finish, for the duration stated by PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru or ViewLux depending on what you bought. We register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway, and if a claim comes up, we handle the paperwork with the manufacturer for you. The homeowner never talks to a warranty department alone. Call (561) 708-6771 and we'll walk you through what your specific units are covered for.
A well-installed mid-grade window should last 20 to 25 years in Boynton Beach's salt-air climate before the seals start to go and the hardware gets tired, and a quality fiberglass door will outlast that. The installation is the variable, not the unit. An out-of-true install binds, leaks and fails early; a square, plumb, sealed opening lets the product do its job. That's why we measure every opening twice and true the pane before we call it done. Call (561) 708-6771 for an estimate on replacement we'll stand behind.
Yes. Every Boynton Beach window and door estimate is free, written, and line-item detailed, with the manufacturer lines quoted side by side on paper so you can compare what you're actually paying for. We don't quote over the phone, never pressure you to sign same-day, and never add to the price once the contract is signed unless hidden damage is uncovered and shown to you first. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule yours.
