Fast, Reliable Window Replacement Across Boca Raton
Window replacement in Boca Raton runs $650-$1,400 per opening for insert replacement and $950-$2,200 per opening for full frame replacement on a typical CBS home, with impact-rated units on the higher end. Most jobs in HOA-governed communities need architectural review board approval before city permits can even be filed, which adds two to six weeks to the calendar. Our Window Replacement team handles that submittal for you. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll walk the approval sequence with you before you spend a dime.
If you live in Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield, or anywhere along the A1A corridor, you already know the drill: the board wants specific frame colors, specific grid patterns, specific glass tints, and they want the packet submitted in a particular order. We file it that way the first time. That matters when you’re paying Florida utility bills and looking at windows that fog between the panes every humid August.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
We’ve been doing this work in Boca Raton long enough to know which communities take three weeks on architectural review and which ones take five. We know that Boca West Country Club wants Andersen finishes matched to the original Arvida palette, that Broken Sound has its own grid profile preferences, and that the high-rise condos along the Intracoastal often require custom-fabricated impact units because the rough openings simply don’t exist in off-the-shelf sizes. That local knowledge is the difference between a job that starts on schedule and a job that sits half-finished in the sun while a committee debates mullion widths.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Every window we set in Boca Raton follows that rule. Background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every rough opening twice. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying: Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, and more. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s non-negotiable.
We dispatch locally from our South Florida office, so a team can be at your Boca Raton property without the kind of delay you’d get from a company running crews out of Dade County. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (561) 708-6771 and you’ll talk to a human who knows Boca Raton permit sequencing, not a voicemail tree.
Our Window Replacement Services in Boca Raton
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement means we remove the entire existing window down to the rough opening and set a completely new unit. In Boca Raton’s 1970s-1990s Arvida-built CBS homes, this is often the only option when the original aluminum frames have corroded from salt air and the rough openings need re-flashing. We pre-verify every rough opening before ordering, because those Arvida-era openings were frequently built to exact legacy dimensions with no adjustment room. Order an off-the-shelf impact slider for one of those openings and you’ll either force a gap or frame down the opening, which triggers a structural review at Boca Raton’s building department. We order custom sizes from the start and schedule installation the day after final approval.

Insert Window Replacement
Insert replacement fits a new window inside the existing frame, preserving interior and exterior trim. For Boca Raton homeowners whose frames are still structurally sound but whose glass is single-pane and failing, inserts run $650-$1,100 per opening and can typically be installed in a single visit. Inserts move through HOA architectural review faster in most Boca Raton communities simply because the exterior profile stays closer to the original. We still submit the full packet with frame finish, grid style, and glass tint specified, because resubmission is what actually costs you time.

Storm Window Replacement
Boca Raton sits directly on the Atlantic, and every replacement we set must carry valid Florida Product Approvals for Palm Beach County’s roughly 150 mph design wind speed. Storm window replacement here means impact-rated systems: laminated glass, reinforced frames, and fasteners rated for the salt-laden air coming off the ocean and the Intracoastal on two fronts. We replace storm windows on the A1A corridor and eastern Boca neighborhoods with units that meet or exceed current code. If your existing storm windows date to the 1980s or earlier, they likely fail current impact requirements by a wide margin.

Energy-Efficient Upgrade
Most original windows in Boca Raton’s Arvida-era subdivisions are single-pane aluminum, and they leak conditioned air into the Florida heat from May through October. An energy-efficient upgrade to double-pane low-E units typically runs $800-$1,600 per opening and cuts the load on air conditioning systems that run nearly year-round. We specify low-E glass with an SHGC and visible light transmittance that meets both the building code and your community’s architectural guidelines, because a tint that violates the guidelines gets rejected and a replacement of already-installed insulated glass units is costly. We get the spec right before the order goes to the manufacturer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including. That means we can quote those lines side by side on paper, with the warranty durations stated in writing, so you see exactly what you’re buying at each price point. For Boca Raton homeowners in communities with strict architectural standards, that side-by-side matters: an Andersen frame finish that matches the original Arvida palette may carry a different lead time than a Pella profile, and lead time affects approval scheduling. We carry the parts and hardware for the brands we install right here in South Florida, so warranty service and tune-ups don’t mean waiting on a shipment from the Midwest. We stand behind the work, the warranty, and the promise, in writing.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Salt-air frame corrosion on eastern corridors - Boca Raton’s position between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal exposes aluminum frames and steel fasteners to salt-laden air on two sides at once. We regularly see oxidation on homes along A1A and the Intracoastal that is measurably worse than in inland cities like Greenacres, and the failing fasteners often can’t be re-used in a replacement.
- Arvida-era rough openings with no adjustment room - The 1970s-1990s CBS subdivisions built by Arvida Corporation and similar developers were framed to exact legacy dimensions. Current code-compliant impact sliders rarely match those sizes off the shelf, and contractors who don’t pre-verify rough openings end up framing down the opening and triggering a structural review at Boca Raton’s building department.
- HOA architectural review rejections - In Boca West Country Club, Broken Sound, Woodfield, and dozens of other gated communities, a window package that goes to the city before the HOA architectural review board approves it gets bounced. Non-conforming frame colors, grid styles, or glass tints are an automatic resubmission, and every resubmission costs another review cycle on the calendar.
- Single-pane glass failing impact requirements - Original jalousie and fixed single-pane windows from the Arvida era don’t come close to current Palm Beach County impact standards. Homeowners in eastern Boca Raton and along the Intracoastal face the highest exposure, and we regularly replace units that would shatter under design wind pressures.
Pricing for Window Replacement in Boca Raton, FL
Here are straight numbers for the Boca Raton market. Insert window replacement on a standard CBS home runs $650-$1,100 per opening. Full frame replacement runs $950-$2,200 per opening, with impact-rated units at the higher end of that range. Energy-efficient upgrades with low-E insulated glass run $800-$1,600 per opening. Custom-fabricated impact units for the oversized openings common along A1A and the Intracoastal can exceed $2,500 per opening because the rough openings don’t exist in stock sizes and the units must be built to order. What affects cost: frame material, glass package, whether the unit is impact-rated, and whether the rough opening needs reframing. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Estimates are free.

FAQs - Window Replacement in Boca Raton
Budget two to six weeks, depending on the community. Boca West Country Club and Broken Sound typically run three to five weeks from submittal to final approval. Smaller HOA-governed communities sometimes move faster, but plan for at least two weeks in Boca Raton because the architectural review board approval must come before city permits can be filed. We prepare the complete packet - frame finish, grid style, glass tint, and manufacturer specs - before submittal, so the review doesn’t stall on missing documentation. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific community before you sign anything.
Most original windows in Arvida-built communities from the 1970s through 1990s are single-pane aluminum or jalousie units that predate Palm Beach County’s current impact standards. They were built to a code that simply didn’t require what today’s roughly 150 mph design wind speed demands. The salt-laden air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal also accelerates frame corrosion and seal failure, degrading even those windows that were marginally compliant when installed. Replacing them with impact-rated units is the only way to meet current Florida Product Approval requirements.
Sometimes, but the architectural review board is the decision-maker, and they tend to approve replacements that match the original palette closely. Frame color is the most common rejection point. Grid patterns and glass tints are next. If you want a different style, we can prepare a submittal that argues the case with manufacturer documentation, but expect the board to push back on anything that changes the street-facing appearance. We have worked with the boards in Boca West, Broken Sound, and Woodfield long enough to know what gets approved and what doesn’t. We’ll fight for the change you want, but we won’t submit a package we know will bounce.
You don’t need to be home for the entire job. Most insert replacements on Boca Raton CBS homes are completed in a single visit, and full frame replacements on a typical home run three to five working days once the rough openings are prepared. We coordinate HOA inspections with your community’s property manager and architectural committee. We schedule the inspections, we’re on site when the inspector arrives, and we fix anything flagged before the job closes. If you’re not home, we’ll walk you through the work with photos and a written line-item summary.
An insert window fits a new unit inside the existing frame, preserving the trim and interior finishes. It’s appropriate when the existing frame is structurally sound and the rough opening doesn’t need reframing. A full frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, re-flashes it, and sets a completely new unit. For Boca Raton CBS homes with salt-corroded aluminum frames or Arvida-era rough openings that don’t match modern impact slider sizes, full frame is often the only practical choice. We’ll tell you which one your home needs after we measure the openings - and we measure every opening twice before we order anything.
