AfterFast, Reliable Impact Windows & Doors Across Greenacres
Most impact window and door work in Greenacres comes down to one number: 140 mph. That is the Florida Building Code wind-load requirement for this part of Palm Beach County, and the reason your 1972 concrete block home on Sherwood Forest Boulevard probably needs every opening replaced, not just the one that leaks. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we have been doing exactly that work in Greenacres for years, from the CBS tract neighborhoods east of Jog Road to the newer subdivisions west of Haverhill. Our team knows what the Greenacres building inspector looks for before that final sign-off, and we quote the work accordingly. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will come measure it.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Impact Windows & Doors Company
We are not a franchise crew passing through. TruePane was founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, but the craft goes back further than that. Dale learned glazing from his father, and the rule on the whiteboard has always been the same: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard carries into every Greenacres job we take, whether it is a single jalousie removal off Melaleuca Lane or a whole-house impact retrofit near Samuel J. Ferreri Community Park.
Greenacres homeowners have a particular set of problems. The housing stock is concrete block, built fast in the 1960s through the 1980s, with aluminum single-panel windows and jalousies that were not designed to hold up to a Palm Beach County hurricane season. Our crew has pulled enough of those frames out of masonry openings to know where the weak spots are: corroded anchors, cracked bond beams, rough openings that were never square. When a Greenacres customer calls us, the person who answers the phone is a live human, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree. And the technician who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and will measure every opening twice before writing a line-item quote on paper.
That quote will be a square deal. No surprise line items. Manufacturer lines quoted side by side so you can see exactly what you are buying. And before the truck leaves your driveway, both warranty layers are registered in writing with the duration stated, and the work is covered by our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights.
Our Impact Windows & Doors Services in Greenacres
Our Impact Windows & Doors team handles the full scope of work Greenacres homes require, from single-opening replacements to whole-house wind mitigation jobs. Here is what that looks like on the ground.
Hurricane Impact Windows
Most Greenacres homes still have their original single-pane aluminum windows. These units do not meet the FBC wind-load requirement, and every year that passes without replacing them makes your insurance renewal riskier. We install impact-rated windows from manufacturers like PGT and Simonton, sized and anchored for the masonry openings common to Greenacres CBS construction. The work includes proper flashing tape, fusion-welded frames where the product calls for it, and anchors that will hold under the loading the code demands.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The back patio slider is usually the weakest opening on a Greenacres block home. Older aluminum-framed sliders from the 1970s and 1980s flex under wind pressure, and the rollers bind. Replacing one is not a cosmetic job. We pull the old frame, inspect the masonry threshold and header for cracks or spalling, and set a new impact-rated slider from a manufacturer line like PGT with tight tolerances. If the opening is not square, we fix the opening before we set the door. That is the difference between a door that slides in August and one that does not.
Impact Entry & French Doors
Front entry doors and French doors are where water intrusion starts when a storm drives rain sideways. Greenacres gets wind-driven rain even when a hurricane makes landfall forty miles south. Our crew installs impact-rated entry and French doors with proper sill pans, weatherstripping, and multi-point locking hardware. We will also be honest with you: if the rough opening has settled, a new door slab alone will not fix the problem. The opening gets corrected first.
Impact Garage Doors
A garage door that blows in during a storm compromises the entire roof envelope. In the 1960s and 1970s tract homes common across Greenacres, the original garage door was rarely reinforced. We install and brace impact-rated garage doors, including track reinforcement and proper anchoring to the CBS header. If your current door is still the original, tie-down hardware alone is usually not enough to meet code.
Wind Mitigation & Code Compliance
This is the part of the job most homeowners only learn about when the inspector shows up. In Greenacres, any permitted opening work must comply with FBC wind-load requirements. That means the product must have a Florida Product Approval, the installation must follow the manufacturer’s published details, and the final inspection must be documented. We handle permits and scheduled inspections for every job. When the inspector signs off, you have paperwork that proves compliance to your insurance carrier. A cheap quote that skips this step leaves you with windows installed and nothing to show the underwriter.
Hurricane Shutters & Protection
For some Greenacres homes, impact-rated openings are not the only answer. Accordion shutters, roll-downs, and panel systems can provide the protection the code requires on certain openings. We will tell you honestly when a shutter is the right call and when replacing the window or door with an impact-rated unit costs less over time. We can walk you through both, and we do not upsell you into work you do not need.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines. In Greenacres, the names that come up most often are PGT, Simonton, and Jeld-Wen, because those product approvals match the FBC wind-zone requirements for Palm Beach County. We stock common parts and hardware for these lines, which means warranty service and adjustments for Greenacres customers do not wait on a freight shipment from Georgia. When you call, we can tell you over the phone which manufacturer lines we recommend for your particular home and why, and then put the numbers side by side on paper at the kitchen table.
Common Impact Windows & Doors Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Non-impact single-pane aluminum windows from the 1960s through 1980s. These units cannot meet Florida’s 140-mph wind-load requirement, and Palm Beach County insurance carriers are dropping policies on homes that still have them. The most common phone call we get from Greenacres is a homeowner holding a non-renewal notice.
- Jalousie windows on every wall. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to any FBC-approved impact standard. Once a permit is pulled for any opening work, code requires every louvered unit in the house to be removed and replaced. That single broken pane becomes a whole-house job, by statute.
- Masonry-bound rough openings that get ground too hard. CBS rough openings require cutting and grinding during retrofit. If the installer is careless, the concrete bond beam gets damaged, and now you need structural repair before an impact frame can go in. We have repaired that damage on Greenacres homes after other crews walked away.
- Corroded anchors and rotted sill plates. Original aluminum frames were set with steel anchors that have spent forty years in Florida humidity. By the time the frame comes out, the anchors are often corroded through. We replace every anchor with stainless or approved coated hardware, not whatever was on the truck.
Pricing for Impact Windows & Doors in Greenacres, FL
The single biggest variable in Greenacres is the masonry. Concrete block rough openings are more labor to cut than wood-frame openings, and if the original opening was not square or the bond beam is cracked, that cost shows up in the number of hours, not the product price. A whole-house replacement on a typical 1960s Greenacres tract home, removing every jalousie and original frame, commonly runs $18,000 to $40,000 before any applicable discounts. We offer a standing 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and a free written repair estimate.
Call (561) 708-6771 for a free written estimate. We will come out, measure every opening, and put numbers on paper.

FAQs - Impact Windows & Doors in Greenacres
What wind rating do impact windows in Greenacres need to meet under the Florida Building Code?
Greenacres falls under FBC wind-load requirements calling for roughly 140-mph design resistance. That means any permitted opening work must use impact-rated products or protected openings that carry a valid Florida Product Approval for that wind zone. Cheap windows without the proper product approval will not pass a Greenacres inspection, and your insurance carrier will not credit them. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will show you the exact product approvals for the lines we recommend.
If I have jalousie windows in my Greenacres home, can I just replace one broken pane and pull a permit for that opening?
No. Jalousie windows cannot be retrofitted to any FBC-approved impact standard. The moment a permit is pulled, code enforcement will require every jalousie unit on the home to be removed and replaced with an approved opening. This is the most common surprise for older Greenacres homeowners. We will write you an honest quote for the full scope before the permit goes in, so you know the number up front. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free inspection.
How does documented impact-window compliance affect my homeowners insurance premium in Greenacres?
Documented compliance is the only thing that counts. Insurance carriers in Palm Beach County want a wind mitigation report and proof that the installed product meets FBC wind-load requirements with valid product approvals and a passed inspection. We register both warranty layers in writing and the customer gets the inspection paperwork. That documentation is what keeps a policy from being non-renewed. Call (561) 708-6771 to talk through your specific carrier’s requirements.
Why does replacing windows in my Greenacres concrete block home cost more than in a wood-frame house?
Because the rough openings are masonry-bound. Cutting or grinding a concrete block opening takes more labor and tooling than pulling trim off a wood frame. The original anchors are usually corroded into place, and if the bond beam was damaged during a prior retrofit, that structural work has to be completed before a new frame is set. We price the job from the opening as it actually is, not as someone assumed it would be. Call (561) 708-6771 for an estimate based on your actual walls.
What should a compliant impact window quote include for a Greenacres home that a cheap quote leaves out?
It should name the specific product line and model with its Florida Product Approval number, state the wind-load rating, include permits and scheduled inspections as line items, and confirm both warranty layers will be registered in writing with durations stated. A cheap quote usually leaves the permit out, omits the inspection, and registers nothing. That is exactly how you end up with a window that cannot be credited on a wind mitigation report. TruePane writes the quote in front of you, on paper, with everything itemized. Call (561) 708-6771.
