AfterFast, Reliable Window Replacement Across West Palm Beach
Window replacement in West Palm Beach is rarely a simple swap. Our crews open walls in Flamingo Park and find 1940s steel casements set directly into concrete block with no framing at all. In Northwood, we pull jalousie windows that have been leaking salt air for forty years. Most West Palm Beach homes were built between 1920 and 1965, and nearly all of that stock needs more than a new sash. You need a crew that has seen what is behind these walls before. TruePane has. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will walk the job with you before anyone swings a hammer.
Key takeaways:
- Replacement windows in West Palm Beach typically run $850-$2,400 per opening installed, depending on frame condition, historic district requirements, and impact rating.
- Homes in Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, and Northwood Hills require Historic Preservation Board approval before permits are issued.
- Salt air from the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon corrodes aluminum frames and hardware faster here than in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach.
- Every TruePane job carries a Done Right Promise with both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company
TruePane has been fixing what other installers get wrong since 2008, led by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler. We are not a franchise that parachutes in for a season. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and sponsor county fairs and church roof funds because we plan to be in West Palm Beach in thirty years. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying.
We answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center, not a form that sits in an inbox. When you call about a fogged seal in Grandview Heights or a binding door in El Cid, you get a person who knows what you are describing.
Our reputation in West Palm Beach is built on this: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is the rule Dale keeps on the whiteboard, and it governs every install we do. We stand behind the work, the warranty, the promise, in writing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before our truck leaves your driveway. And the Done Right Promise means if it is not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print.
Our Window Replacement Services in West Palm Beach
Full Frame Replacement
Full frame replacement in West Palm Beach means removing the old window down to the rough opening and rebuilding from there. That matters here. In El Cid and Flamingo Park, original 1930s and 1940s steel casements were often set directly into the CBS wall with no buck framing. There is nothing to attach a modern impact unit to until custom rough openings are fabricated. We do that work. We install PGT, Andersen, Pella, and Marvin units with impact-rated glazing, low-E glass, and marine-grade hardware spec’d for coastal exposure. A typical full frame replacement in West Palm Beach runs $1,200-$2,400 per opening.
Insert Window Replacement
When the existing frame is square and sound, an insert window drops into the old frame without disturbing interior trim or stucco. It is the fastest option, and in West Palm Beach’s post-WWII CBS ranch homes in Northwood and Grandview Heights, it often works well. But salt air eats aluminum frames from the inside out. Before we quote an insert, we check the condition of the existing frame. If corrosion has compromised the fasteners or the frame-to-opening seal, an insert will fail within a few years no matter how good the new unit is. Inserts in West Palm Beach typically run $850-$1,600 per opening.
Storm Window Replacement
Florida Building Code design wind speed for coastal zones in West Palm Beach runs roughly 160 mph. That means impact-rated products or approved storm panel systems are mandatory throughout the city, with no grandfathering for pre-code openings during any permitted remodel. Storm window replacement here means impact-rated glazing. We quote PGT, CGI, and ES Windows side by side on paper, with the specific impact rating and design pressure for each unit stated in writing. Expect $1,100-$2,200 per opening for a compliant impact-rated storm window installation.
Energy-Efficient Upgrade
West Palm Beach’s single-pane aluminum frames and functional jalousie units leak conditioned air year-round. Replacing them with low-E, double-pane, argon-filled units cuts cooling load noticeably, especially on west-facing elevations in El Cid and along Flagler Drive where afternoon sun beats through old glazing. We register both warranty layers on every energy upgrade, including the glass coating performance warranty. Energy-efficient replacements in West Palm Beach start around $950 per opening and run up to $1,800 with impact-rated glass packages.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we service the brands most common in West Palm Beach:, Ply Gem, and PGT among them. We stock local parts for these lines, which means a broken balance or failed seal on a Jeld-Wen double-hung in Northwood does not sit for two weeks waiting on a shipment. Our techs carry common hardware, weatherstripping, and balance assemblies on the truck. Most repairs finish in a single visit.
Common Window Replacement Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt corrosion on aluminum frames and hardware. Homes within a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon or the Atlantic get steady salt-laden air. Aluminum frames pit, screws seize, and sashes jam within a few years unless marine-grade hardware was specified. We see this constantly in El Cid and along Flagler Drive, and it is the most common reason a ten-year-old window already needs replacement.
- Pre-code jalousie windows with no impact protection. Older rental stock and original CBS homes throughout West Palm Beach still have functional jalousie windows. They provide zero impact protection and fail insurance compliance when any remodel opens a wall. Fixing them is not an insert job. It requires a full rough-opening rebuild and impact-rated glazing.
- Historic district profile mismatches. In Flamingo Park, El Cid, Old Northwood, and Northwood Hills, installing a standard replacement window without Historic Preservation Board approval triggers a red-tag stop-work order and forced reinstallation of non-compliant units. The original steel casements and wood double-hungs have specific muntin profiles and sightlines that must be replicated. We handle that paperwork and ensure the product matches before it is ordered.
- Original steel casements with no buck framing. This is a West Palm Beach specialty problem. Homes built in the 1930s and 1940s in El Cid and Flamingo Park often have steel casement windows mortared directly into the CBS wall. There is no wood framing around the opening. Any modern replacement requires custom rough-opening fabrication first, which is exactly the kind of scope-of-work surprise neighboring cities’ newer housing almost never presents.
Pricing for Window Replacement in West Palm Beach, FL
Here is what you should expect to pay in West Palm Beach, based on the work we quote most often:
| Job Type | Typical Range Per Opening |
|---|---|
| Basic insert window (vinyl, non-impact) | $850-$1,600 |
| Full frame replacement (non-impact) | $1,200-$2,000 |
| Impact-rated storm window | $1,100-$2,200 |
| Historic district replacement with HPB compliance | $1,500-$2,800 |
| Energy-efficient upgrade with low-E, double pane, argon | $950-$1,800 |
| Full frame with impact glazing and custom rough opening work | $1,800-$2,400+ |
What moves the price: historic district compliance adds permit time and product constraints. Salt corrosion on existing frames can force a full frame replacement where you were hoping for an insert. And pre-code openings that trigger a code upgrade add the cost of impact-rated glazing. We quote all of this on paper, line by line, before work begins. We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and a free written repair estimate. You can call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate. Our quote is fixed. If something changes once walls are open, we price it and get your approval in writing before we touch it.

FAQs - Window Replacement in West Palm Beach
Yes. Flamingo Park is a locally designated historic district, so window replacement requires Historic Preservation Board approval before permits are issued. New units must replicate the original window profiles, muntin patterns, and materials while also meeting Florida Building Code wind-load standards. This dual-compliance process does not apply in neighboring Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, or Lake Worth Beach. We handle the HPB paperwork and product selection as part of the job. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate that includes the compliance path.
West Palm Beach sits directly on the Lake Worth Lagoon with the open Atlantic a mile east. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion of aluminum frames, fasteners, and hardware noticeably faster than in inland Palm Beach County cities like Wellington or Royal Palm Beach. We see ten-year-old aluminum windows with pitted frames and seized hardware that would be fine inland for twenty more. The fix is marine-grade hardware and proper frame-to-opening sealing at installation. That is standard on every TruePane coastal job. For an exact quote on your home, call (561) 708-6771.
Not the whole house, but the openings you touch will need to comply with current Florida Building Code. Jalousie windows in West Palm Beach are usually pre-code units with zero impact protection. When you replace them, the rough opening must be rebuilt and the new unit must be impact-rated or paired with an approved storm panel system. This is not a penalty. It is the code working as intended in a city with a 160 mph design wind speed. We scope this work accurately before we start so there are no surprises on the bill. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate.
Because in El Cid, original 1940s steel casement windows were often set directly into the CBS wall with no buck framing. You cannot attach a modern impact unit to an opening with no framing. Our crew has to fabricate the custom rough opening, install the new unit, seal the perimeter with flashing tape, and finish the exterior stucco to match the historic profile. If we do not know the framing is missing until the wall is open, that is a scope change. We write allowances into our contract for exactly this reason, and any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we proceed. That is how we avoid the remodel-quote creep that plagues this neighborhood. To get a quote that includes realistic allowances, call (561) 708-6771.
Fog between the panes means the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. You do not need to replace the whole window frame if it is structurally sound. The failed glass unit can be replaced. But in West Palm Beach, we check the frame condition before recommending that route. Salt corrosion around the seal is often the underlying cause, and if the frame’s fastener points or drainage channels are compromised, we will tell you honestly. We quote both options on paper so you can compare. Most sealed-glass repairs run $350-$800 per unit, while replacements run the ranges on our pricing table. Call (561) 708-6771 and we will tell you which one makes sense for your windows.
