AfterFast, Reliable Window Installation Across Palm Beach
Window installation in Palm Beach means working inside a set of rules that most Florida contractors never face. Between the Town Architectural Commission’s design review requirements and the salt air coming off both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, a routine window replacement here often becomes a custom fabrication project. TruePane has handled that reality for years. We know the Palm Beach approval process, we know which manufacturers build what ARCOM will accept, and we show up with a written plan before any glass gets ordered. Call (813) 320-9346 to talk through your project with a live person, any hour of any day. Most Palm Beach jobs begin with a free estimate at your home, where we measure every opening, check the condition of the framing, and lay out exactly what the Town will require.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Window Installation Company
Homeowners in Palm Beach tend to be particular. Many have lived in the same house for two decades or more. They remember the contractor who left them with a fogged seal and a door that binds in July. They are not looking for the cheapest bid. They want the job done correctly the first time by a company that will still answer the phone in ten years. That is why they call TruePane.
Founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008, we have spent years in the glass trade through a craft tradition that treats every install as a standing commitment. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They measure every opening twice. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see the difference between an Andersen unit and a Marvin unit before you spend a dollar. And we carry The Keystone Standard on every Palm Beach job: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If something is not done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
We are not a franchise operation running crews through Palm Beach on a schedule. We hire local. We train apprentices into journeymen. We plan to be working on these same streets in thirty years.
Our Window Installation Services in Palm Beach
Every home in Palm Beach has its own set of demands, but the older Mizner-era estates along South Ocean Boulevard and the mid-century homes on the North End share a few common needs. Here is how we approach the window types most often specified here.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are original to a huge share of Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial homes. The original steel-framed casements from the 1920s and 1930s have elegant thin sight lines, but after decades of salt exposure, many are corroded to the point of structural failure. TruePane installs replacement casement windows in Palm Beach using narrow-profile aluminum or custom steel replicas that preserve the original look while meeting current Florida Building Code impact standards. We have completed this exact work on Estate Section properties where ARCOM review required matching the original profiles down to the muntin width.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are a practical choice for Palm Beach because they hinge at the top and shed rain outward, which matters when afternoon squalls roll in off the Atlantic. They also ventilate well during the humid months without letting water in. For homes near the Intracoastal or along the ocean, we specify marine-grade stainless hardware and reinforced frames that hold up against the double-sided salt spray Palm Beach is known for.
Fixed & Picture Windows
A fixed window is where the sight-line question gets most serious. That is where we lean hard on our fabricator relationships. Palm Beach customers who want uninterrupted ocean views often choose picture windows in the largest practical size. We install fixed and picture windows with impact-rated laminated glass, and in historic districts we work within ARCOM’s requirements to keep the original proportions and frame profiles. If the opening is arched, we fabricate the arched unit to match rather than squaring off the hole and calling it close enough. The pane has to be true.
Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows are less common in the original Mediterranean Revival stock, but they show up regularly in mid-century modern homes on the North End and in later additions. We install both styles in Palm Beach with a focus on air sealing and weatherstripping that actually performs in this environment. Salt air accelerates the wear on standard hardware. We use corrosion-resistant balances and locks so the sashes keep working year after year.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Palm Beach we keep close relationships with the ones that matter most here. Andersen builds the full range we often quote for replacements on mid-century homes and newer construction. Marvin is our frequent choice for custom units on historic properties, especially when ARCOM requires a specific profile or a bronze finish. Pella gives us strong options for impact-rated casements and awnings where a homeowner wants a dependable, straightforward replacement. We do not stock one brand and push it on every house. We quote side by side on paper so you see what each line costs and what each warranty actually covers. Every unit is registered in writing before we leave your driveway.
Common Window Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
After years of working inside Palm Beach homes, a few failure patterns come up again and again. Here is what we find and how we handle it.
- Salt-driven corrosion on aluminum frames and hinges: Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. Salt spray reaches windows from two directions at once. We regularly see aluminum frames with pitted finishes and hinges that have seized within a few years of installation. We specify marine-grade hardware and stainless fasteners on every ocean-side or waterway-side replacement.
- ARCOM rejections on standard impact units: Standard off-the-shelf impact windows are built for production tract housing. On a Mizner-era estate, they do not match the original sight lines, and the Town Architectural Commission will reject them at design review. When we quote a Palm Beach job, we check the original profiles first. If the windows are visible from the street, we plan for a custom or narrow-profile unit from the start rather than finding out after the glass is ordered.
- Rotted or undersized framing hidden behind old windows: On older homes, the rough opening is often not what it looks like from the outside. Decades of leaky glazing putty, failed flashing, and salt-laden moisture rot the wood around the opening. Once we remove the old window, we rebuild the jamb and sill as needed. If a permit inspection triggers a structural upgrade, we price it in writing and get your approval before we touch it. No surprises on the final bill.
- Failed waterproofing and flashing around existing openings: The coastal rain and wind-driven salt water test every flashing detail. We see jobs from other contractors where the flashing tape was applied over dirty or uneven framing, and water found its way in within three years. TruePane installs new marine-grade flashing tape, backer rod, and sealant on every replacement. The flashing detail is part of the quote, not an afterthought.
Pricing for Window Installation in Palm Beach, FL
A standard single window replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $850 to $1,800 installed for a straightforward unit from a manufacturer like Pella or Andersen, depending on size and glazing. Impact-rated units in Palm Beach start around $1,200 per window and climb to $2,800 or more for large fixed or picture windows with laminated glass. Custom narrow-profile aluminum or steel units built to match original sight lines on a historic Mediterranean Revival home run higher, often $3,500 to $7,000 per opening, because they are fabricated to order and must pass ARCOM review before installation. Casement replacements in Palm Beach typically fall between $1,400 and $3,200 per unit. Awning windows run $900 to $2,200 each. These are honest ranges based on what this market actually costs, not teaser numbers that change once the contract is signed.

FAQs - Window Installation in Palm Beach
Almost every exterior window replacement in the Town of Palm Beach requires design review approval from the Town Architectural Commission, commonly called ARCOM. The only consistent exceptions are like-for-like replacements that do not alter the appearance, material, or profile of the original windows, and even those often need a staff-level sign-off. If your windows are original or visible from the street, assume you need approval before any glass gets ordered. TruePane handles the documentation, the drawings, and the review correspondence for you. Call (813) 320-9346 and we will tell you up front whether your street-facing openings will trigger review.
In most cases, no. Standard off-the-shelf impact windows have frame profiles that are too thick and sight lines that are too wide to match original 1920s and 1930s steel or wood casements. If ARCOM design review is triggered, those standard units will be rejected. You need custom narrow-profile aluminum or steel windows with impact-rated glazing that replicate the original proportions. That means longer lead times and higher cost, usually three times what a standard replacement would run. TruePane quotes these projects with the fabrication timeline and the ARCOM risk spelled out in writing before you commit.
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with open ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Salt spray reaches every property from two directions at once. That constant salt exposure attacks aluminum frames, hinges, and locks far faster than it does in mainland communities just a few miles inland. Marine-grade stainless hardware and bronze finishes last longer, which is why we recommend them on every ocean-side or waterway-side install. If you hear grinding or binding when a sash operates, that is often salt corrosion on the hinge or track. Call us and we will look at it.
We inspect first. Before we write the contract, we look at the visible condition of the jambs, sills, and surrounding trim, and we tell you what we expect to find once the old window comes out. If we open the wall and find rotted or undersized framing, we photograph it, show it to you, and give you a written price for the repair before we proceed. On Palm Beach’s older estates, we often find exactly this: decades of salt-laden moisture has rotted the wood around the rough opening, and the original framing does not meet current code. We rebuild it to pass inspection. The cost is approved by you in writing before we touch it, which is how a square deal is supposed to work.
The Town of Palm Beach requires a permit for window replacement, and that permit triggers a review of the existing structure around the window opening. If the inspector finds inadequate anchoring, rotted framing, or non-compliant structural support, the repair work needed to pass inspection becomes part of the job. In practice, that means older homes in Palm Beach often require sill and jamb rebuilding, anchor retrofits, or header reinforcement before the new window can be approved. We build those costs into the estimate as an allowance when we see signs of trouble, and we price any actual findings in writing before proceeding.

On South Ocean Boulevard, we replaced corroded original steel casement windows in a Mizner-era Mediterranean Revival home. After the mandatory ARCOM review, we fabricated custom narrow-profile aluminum units with impact-rated glazing and bronze hardware to match the original sight lines. Then we installed them with new marine-grade flashing tape and rebuilt the jamb pockets where salt-driven corrosion had compromised the framing. The job took months longer than a standard replacement. The homeowner did not pay for shortcuts. The pane is true, and the Town approved every detail. That is the standard we bring to every Palm Beach job, whether you are replacing one awning window or re-glazing an entire estate.
